I’ve trained hundreds of people across many roles for thirty years. I have two things I’d like to add: - A mistake you are willing to learn from is not just a mistake. It’s a lesson. It can yield as much reward as you’d…
Luckily, I wasn’t replying to you? Weirdo.
Not the person you’re replying to, but a little common sense would imply warnings along the line of “if you don’t do this properly, a crew of innocent people fall out of the sky and fucking die whilst screaming all the…
I’m talking about code organization, not types. In Julia, methods are grouped together by type dispatch, mostly. There are times when code reuse comes into play where it’s helpful, but mostly it just confuses the issue…

Jesus. This is the most tasteful, flexed out but not over the top landing page I’ve ever seen. I love it. I’ve no use for something like this, but I’m in absolute awe at the design on display. Marvelous. I hope Apple or…
C++ is a beaut', compared to Perl. It's ugly too, don't get me wrong. I'll be the last one to hold up C++ or PHP as beautiful, but Rust is just too gross to look at, I have NO idea how people program in it. I think the…
I haven't used asyncio that much, certainly not in any serious sense, but wouldn't ContextVar lookups be a major factor of performance in serious asyncio code? Using tasks for things that aren't io-bound seems likely to…

I'd definitely be more apt to have this as part of production system instead of the Rust one. Rust has got to be the ugliest, most unfriendly programming language I've ever laid my eyes on. And I wrote Perl for 10+…

Oh well I didn’t say I thought it was mutually exclusive. Germs aren’t the only part of working a shit job. Whether it’s in person, over a video call, or over email, if your supervisor is a dickhead then your team will…
I hate the back talking and advertising. I already bought the device, I’m a prime member, why can’t you just tell me the temperature and shut the fuck back up? I hate the stupid thing but my wife has a little more…
Are there some large users or projects that are committed to the stdlib and not Base that I could look into or read about? Thanks in advance.
So, you’d say there’s a healthy contingent of upstream devs dedicated to the health and diversity of the built in stdlib? May I also ask, have you worked with Ocaml for any medium to large projects? I’d be curious to…
Ocaml seems somewhat hampered by this weird disconnect between upstream maintainers and Jane Street and other third party major users. Popular media for ocaml learners describes using Base, while documentation focuses…
In this thread: a bunch of fabricated stories about how AirBNB is “actually a good thing”
Absolutely absurd to me how much internet traffic is being obliterated by pornography. So sad to think of the magnitude of time wasted, lives ruined, talent shuttered, ingenuity squandered, etc. Wonderful list though,…
I'm not making an argument about Microsoft, but rather about the low regard I have for people who make inflammatory comments about companies online when there's human beings there doing all the work, affected by the…
I’ve been reading about microbiomes and things like that over the past year, and I suspect there’s a biological aspect to a lot of mental health issues in workplaces. Certainly the pandemic has renewed public interest…
Bummer, I guess. I got rich and paid for three kids to go to Ivy League schools, bought a house a mile and a half from the White House, and before too long will leave them a seven figure nest egg after my wife and I are…
