No I think they sold him for parts.

This comment is answering post’s title more honestly than the author.

Less words too.

Illegal how? LinkedIn is no more official than fortnight.

It’s all perspective. It changed my perspective which changes confidence.

But I am at a profitable company, in a senior role. I’ve been at a handful of unicorns. I just turned down a faang 2 weeks ago after getting an offer.

I created a fake linkedin account a couple years ago using one of those AI face generators.

Made myself a Senior Director of Engineering at a major company with an impressive background.

I've had lots of recruiters reach out to me from most major companies and I've even had some conversations just for kicks.

The unexpected outcome... I swear doing this made me more confident.

I see so many FAANG recruiters wanting "me" to run a team that I don't even open the message because I'm decensitized. It gave me a glimpse into someone 10 years ahead of me. I've been meaning to make a compilation of my conversations.

> and people are gathering with friends and relatives inside private homes more frequently than before

We didn't learn our lesson from the war on drugs. When you make something completely off limits people will find a way to engage, but without any standards.

Meeting people in secret (mask free) is the new drugs.

Thanks. Plan is to add a few more delivery hubs but with drive-thru attached. The 2nd location is launching in the next month or 2. Not really planning on anything with the software. This is not my primary job so don't put a lot of time into it.

I have a cookie delivery company[1] that I started with my sister. It’s doing well but I personally only take out $50k/yr. completely supplemental to my main job.

I do a lot of F# these days. I haven’t owned a windows machine in a decade.

Yes. Typically interop is very straightforward. You look in the api docs and copy paste.

Example here is the String doc[1]. Way down you see all the methods. Some of the methods have overloads (multiple variants). Pretty straightforward here. (E.g. `"mystring".Contains("ring")`)

Where it gets more verbose and finicky is when the API takes a C# callback. Even more complex is if it’s asynchronous so it takes a C# callback as a Task.

An example being the `.Use` method for defining server middleware.[2]

To see how it’s done, here’s a gist I found.[3] Notice how the function for requestHandler is verbosely annotated with Func<> and RequestDelegate, etc.

Luckily this isn’t the norm, most APIs are less complicated. Even so, you write a wrapper (abstraction) around that complexity and only look at your wrapper. Which is why someone in this thread said to leave them in a dark corner.

Does interop with c# get easier?

Trying to figure out how to map to an overloaded C# callback (maybe hidden in an *.extension doc!) has wasted hours of my time.

F# (the ml family in general) is my favorite language right now but, man, the .net APIs are rough.

Lacking the same UX I’m used to in Node, Ruby, and Elixir.

Was trying to use F# at work for a backend service and got shut down.

Ended up using Typescript instead and it doesn't feel as clean.

> having custom fonts disabled (that is, fonts I don't have locally)

Safari prevents website from using local fonts. Only web fonts.

The thought is that a site could check which fonts work for you based on local fonts and use that towards your marketing thumbprint.

maybe free tier was never sustainable and was only a tactic to increase user volume and thus increase Heroku valuation towards an acquisition.

So Intel and AMD are capable of building a chip like this, but the ambitious size meant it was more economically feasible for Apple to build it themselves?

(Not a hardware guy)

As long as the animals are eaten then it's a lot better than factory farming IMO.

I think people would eat meat less regularly if they see the animals butchered.

This is how I write libraries but never formalized the tactic.

Basically create a readme with example of how to use the lib with explanation.

Then I design the library to match my design.

I see lots of libraries (especially in .net) that are missing that extra something as if they weren’t designed first.

.net core is old now as if this last month. Now it’s just .Net 5, which is faster still.

Also, these companies have MASSIVE sales forces (no pun intended). By acquiring a decent enterprise product and throwing teams of sales guys on it they can make a lot of money.

Returns aren’t as good if acquisition is high, like slack will be.

so your primary example of conservatives censoring is a board dedicated to discussing conservatism?

oh! i thought it was merely trying to create buzz but I didn't think about building up an email list. pretty smart.

> I'm no conspiracy theorist

hmm. we've been shamed out of questioning things due to that one label.

> but is it even remotely possible that this could be a prototype of the Xbox Series X

reminds me of Simpsons episode where they found angel bones but it was used as advertising for the grand opening of a new shopping mall

dog-eat-dog is the natural state. Some people like it, other think it's toxic.

I like to really explore innovative options so too fast of a pace can be annoying being at the bottom of the latter at a fast-paced company.

Exactly. It’s 2 sides where one romanticizes “the other” and one romanticizes “mine”. You can argue morality all you want but it’s a social construct in either direction.

yeah but WHAT is it compiling is my question. Does it compile OCaml dependencies or am I using Erlang deps?

So does this mean you are effectively writing OCaml-looking erlang? meaning, you are using Erlang libraries (not OCaml libs) to perform any IO or iterate over a list?

Where does OCaml end and Erlang begin?

You don’t NEED them. They are premature. I don’t technically need to compile my app in release-mode as a small startup.

one of my first checks for a dev font is typing "lst vs 1st" (list vs first).

In some the lowercase "l" looks almost the same as a 1 (one). Some will make the lower case "l" curved, but then some (like Iosevka) will remove the bottom bar for a one.

which is fine if there's not competition (e.g. internal software).

Add competition to the mix and "good enough" might put you in the ground.

Interactions are more than just about the software. It what separates Disney parks from Six Flags.

Yes I've been learning F# recently, and I definitely can tell all the .Net documentation was created by people who's job it was to create it. Not "good, polished" documentation.

Stark contrast to things like Elixir where there's a labor-of-love aspect to it.
