UserIsUnused··on Client-side web programming in Haskell: A retrospective
Yeah, I think typeclass by themselves are not harmful, but then common libraries will be full of them, providing nice error messages would be harder, and then you might attract too much of the category theory folks declaring functors everywhere and scaring the newbies. (Nothing against category theory, but it's not really newbie friendly which is what Elm tries to be)

I wonder of what of those points would be impact had typeclasses been implemented into ELm.

>considering that Elm seems to be by far the most stable, usable and used alternative

I wonder, does Elm not having type classes is actually a feature that boosted its success, or is it just missing because of the author stubbornness ?

I think Elm did right into focusing in SPA rather than being yet another language compiling to JS.

You can have diferent components scale differently in a monolith.
UserIsUnused··on Dapr: an open-source project to make it easier to build microservices
All modern ides analyse dependencies. Spagheti is usually built when there are too many people working on one project. Microservices is to scale people, no need for microservices when your company has very few employees.
UserIsUnused··on Gitlab: don't discuss politics at work
negligible. It's actually very simple. Programmers are big money makers for companies, specially good programmers. Programmers are mostly male, that means there is almost 50% of the population that s not even considering that career. How much easier will it be to hire new programmers if the hiring pool would almost double? There is no such problem in other areas. Not other "mostly male" or "mostly female" career is as effective for generating money for employers or is so hard to get good employees.

Instagram and whatsapp are facebook. Ofc, even then 90% might be too much.

I agree, I guess that noum.verb() is indeed better to find those
UserIsUnused··on Dapr: an open-source project to make it easier to build microservices
I also think it's crazy. Even in JVM land, spring boot is quite fast at getting a POC done. Setting up infra for microservices when you are rushing for demos is too much.

Exactly this. But it's harder to get this stat, how would you properly measure it?

Also, the autocomplete argument isn't a big argument, as writing is the less time consuming task in the process.
UserIsUnused··on The benefits of a more asynchronous workplace
I just said 40h as that is what the law specifies as what is a full time job. Agree that 40h is too much for most knowledge based jobs.
UserIsUnused··on The benefits of a more asynchronous workplace
Yup, the article is advertising Async, not remote. This is a company blog post, so it's always about advertising, even when it's not explicit.

They promote Async, because they also claim that their coloboration tool (email/slack alternative) is the right option for async.

UserIsUnused··on The benefits of a more asynchronous workplace
It should always be "I get paid for giving my employee 40h/ week of availability for work". that doesn't necessarily mean code. there's design, meetings, bugs to find, etc.

ofc, short breaks should be in those paid times. And the hour/week is not the same in every country.

But 40/week doesn't have to be every week, just average (as some times there is less work to do, and other times stuff is on fire and must be fixed)

also, that rate has nothing to do with being remote or on-site.

Their tool Twist is the result of their own problems while developing their app (Todoist) , and they use it internally. Usual tools made by companies that use it (dogfooding) use to be better.
UserIsUnused··on Beating Decades of Optimized C with 80 Lines of Haskell
And haskell does this. This is way over engineering for performance. Different level. It's the same in other language when you go deep into performance engineering, it just depends how deep considering if the algorithm fits better a functional or imperative model.
UserIsUnused··on Beating Decades of Optimized C with 80 Lines of Haskell
that has nothing to do with programing language, but with tools/libraries.

Haskell is one of the simplest programming languages, but judging it by that statement is judging java for spring2 AbstractSingletonProxyFactory bean, ruby for all of rails monkey patching and magic, etc.

I can relate too much with that. Too much of earning about being genius while young and even in college, now I'm just lonely, depressed, anxious, and feeling like wasted potential.

>Anyway, what I'm trying to say is IQ is bullshit, and discipline, social skills, and connections are priceless

100% agree.

UserIsUnused··on Apple Removes HKmap.live from the App Store
It's much different that that, as Alabama isn't a recently acquired former colony of an old empire, that have been enjoying an autonamous status due to that.

The biggest different in metaphor is: -> state/city want something vs -> State/city doesn't want something removed.

The origin of the manifest is due to HK losing some of its autonomy, it was a condition unique to it, it's not someone wanting to be special, it's someone special not wanting to be normal. There is a very huge difference in mental state.
