joshsyn··on Bitcoin Is Time
Only a salty bitch would downvote this comment.
joshsyn··on Bitcoin Is Time
A 1.5 trillion dollar joke. Thanks to the Fed who pumped trillions of dollars back in 2008
joshsyn··on Bitcoin Is Time
One reason I think is because of the global phenonmenon and easy to exchange native currency to crypto. And the immutable and fixed capped supply. Huge prizes to be won for someone cracking the network.
joshsyn··on Bitcoin Is Time
lol, you are wrong.
joshsyn··on Bitcoin Is Time
Buying bitcoin early would have put me 10 years ahead. Missed, maybe bitcoin cash isn't bad as everyone taints it to be.
joshsyn··on Jetbrains founders turn billionaires without VC help
well deserved
joshsyn··on Facebook's Hypocrisy on Apple's New iOS 14 Privacy Feature
I get lot of Junk ads from Facebook. Good riddance
joshsyn··on Apple’s M1 silicon is all about platform control
Always one guy who shouts about control and submission. Don't like it don't buy it?
joshsyn··on Show HN: Lunatic – Actor System for Rust/WebAssembly
why do you think its better with .net 5?
joshsyn··on CQRS: Command Query Responsibility Segregation (2011)
Implemented CQRS+ES design pattern recently in F# and postgres. The query side kept changing due to business needs, while the command side remained the same.

In our case, queries state aka projection were asynchronous which made it very flexible and fast to work with. Projection could live anywhere, within the web server, redis or just database.

joshsyn··on Why I Prefer Functional Programming
I prefer functional first languages that allows mutability where needed. Ocaml, F# and scala for me.

You have to go through great lengths to avoid mutability in Haskell, which is why they are developing linear types. I tried it for a few months was like nope.

joshsyn··on GitHub Certifications (Beta)
Tf. I have avoided employers that required certifications and will continue to do so.
joshsyn··on What ORMs Have Taught Me: Just Learn SQL (2014)
Micro-ORMS for boilerplate sql - RepoDb. Rest just use Query Builder or raw sql.
joshsyn··on Is your programming language unreasonable? (2015)
Alzabraic types and records have strutural equality while classes don't have it I believe.
joshsyn··on Is your programming language unreasonable? (2015)
How is it avoiding subtle bugs? Looks like a sane default to me
joshsyn··on .NET Orleans
No F# support :O
joshsyn··on Single Page Applications using Rust
zero overhead on the web or just zero and overkill for the web?

Seriously I don't get the appeal of doing frontend in Rust? Isomorphic you say, thought Json solved that problem? Hell, I'd rather choose typescript even.

joshsyn··on We Can Do Better Than SQL
Most relationships, I have encountered are just one-many, many-one, many-mane, one-one, indirect, direct or graphical in nature.

You want flat result, aggregated result. Why does this have to be blamed on the data relationship and not SQL language itself?

For any graphical type of relationships, I find SQL utterly hard to express my queries properly. It feels like a assembly language at that point.

joshsyn··on SMT Solving on an iPhone (2018)
lol, apple fans chuckle. Typing this from my work macbook.
joshsyn··on Ask HN: Great programming language features, other languages should steal?
Its funny though, as I am personally switching to scala 3 for the features I mentioned. I find the features particularly handy for building distributed systems using Akka. And I wished they'd get tooling just right out of the bat. (sbt doesn't seem great)
joshsyn··on Ask HN: Great programming language features, other languages should steal?
My ideal language is something like F# but with HKTs, trait, macros, union types (without discriminator), basically most features dotty aka scala 3 introduced.
joshsyn··on What does Microsoft want with Linux and Open Source? [video]
Poor logic. I never said I don't value Linux or freedom. Last time I checked, nobody dictates what you use. I don't understand why making profits is shunned as such a problem? And takes away your freedom?

You are free to not use products from companies you don't like. Trust me I do value Linux, currently typing this from my Ubuntu machine. I hope it speeds up in development, but without the proper incentive, it simply is not happening. Only companies I see in the desktop space are valve at the moment who have vested interest on the gaming aspect. I don't think every developers are going to say kumbaya and develop for Linux without getting any kind of financial support. O.o

joshsyn··on What does Microsoft want with Linux and Open Source? [video]
Why is it that Linux is always playing catch-ups with device drivers, KDE, GNOME, wayland to be on par with Windows or Mac equivalent? Cause there are lack of resources, how many people want to invest their time for nothing in return? Very less.
joshsyn··on What does Microsoft want with Linux and Open Source? [video]
I think linux on the desktop would be been better story.

My point is without Microsoft we wouldn't be where we are today. We'd be lagging far behind. Apple being the only competition, would probably still be selling Apple 2.

joshsyn··on What does Microsoft want with Linux and Open Source? [video]
Problem? Thanks to Microsoft and other capitalist companies for revolutionizing the way we do computing today.
joshsyn··on Ask HN: Advanced Linux users, which distribution do you run? Why?
Used ArchLinux for 6 years and eventually switched to Ubuntu. It just works most of the time and most of the things I require is bundled with the installation ISO. Most third-party bundles in .deb format which also usually just works.
joshsyn··on A Google Cloud support engineer solves a tough DNS case
Long-term solution - Use rust
joshsyn··on The dystopian world of software engineering interviews
I almost got into a role as a lead dev only to decline myself later. Their entire team had left for some reason and last developer wanted to leave too. No technical interviews, though lol.

Small companies aren’t that great either, when their main business isn’t tech

joshsyn··on C# Pattern Matching
I have been using F# since last year, haven't really looked back to C# since.

Unfortunately although we are a small community, it does feel like being last on Microsoft priority list.

Microsoft please listen to feedback of your F# users namely on fslang-suggestions and fslang-design repository.

My personal wish list for F# are type classes, HKTs, macros and GADTs.
