I guess I don't get all this "monad" stuff. This article talks about 3 types of monad. An optional, a list, and a future. However an optional is really just a list constrained to size 0 or 1. And a future is often called &quo

Right, but maybe even go a step further, and be like "Hey Josh how you doing? Busy day?" They'll likely elaborate, and if they don't want to then it means your question is overbearing in their eyes.

I LOVE this idea. I usually hear other Sr. engineers denigrate it as "hacky," but I think they aren't really looking at the big picture. 1. By combining services, 1 less service to manage in your stack (e.g. do your demo&#x

"- being told you are constructing utopia while the system crumbles around you" This is the one that resonated with me. Obviously "the system" as a whole isn't objectively crumbling by traditional measures like GDP,

Exactly. The distinction is that leadership is something that people voluntarily choose to give to you because they respect you. A manager is a role/job-title. Many managers are some of the least respected people in their company, and

The question at hand is whether Cross is editing wikipedia beneficially. You instead focus on the political views of the website that published this piece, which is irrelevant, and also creates a distracting us/them mentality. None of

I'm not sure if whether it's Russia has anything to do with it. The point is that objective truth requires moving above tribalist mentality, clearly cross failed to do that. Dragging Russia into this is also failing to rise above

We can't just jump to conclusions like this. We can't take a single story about a single bad editor and make blanket rules. You have to take a look at the whole dataset of people who make crusader efforts and then see if there&#x2

Why are people trying to twist this into a partisan issue? Both sides agree that political speech is too censored. Agreeing is good - it gives us common ground where we can make progress instead of fighting forever. Unless you're more

I had an interesting experience with triplebyte which wasn't as objectively bad as yours, but it also makes me skeptical of the company. First round was multiple choice questions, relatively straight-forward. Second-round was skype-ca
