This book is probably about a very different kind of ”engineering” than what you had in mind, but it’s been highly influential to my thinking: “The Social Construction of Reality: A Treatise in the Sociology of Knowledge.” Berger & Lu

Your point is a very important one. Do we check the interactions of a tentative drug molecule against every single molecular target in the body, and do we track what happens as a result of all those interactions? It’s quite common that a gr

From the comments here, I was expecting to find myself hopelessly out of date, and to end up with a migraine trying to parse through a mindnumbing list of changes. Turned out I was mistaken. > Me: oh, cool, they fixed so many tiny th

Great information & a good summary, thank you! If I’m looking to get more in-depth with the known mechanisms of locus coeruleus and episodic memory, would you be able to recommend any sources of yours? To try and tickle your interest, h

I do often share this sentiment, even if I’m not in agreement with your tone. But I’m curious — > Specific qualia have a higher cortical resonance, due to overarching reinforcement over time, and they are picked out. > The mor

Oh, this was a new one for me. In case you like narrow but Victor’s not your thing, I can enthusiastically point you towards Iosevka. (That’s also available in Victor’s comparison picker. Nice!)

I’m thinking your reference to composing red functions doesn’t seem congruent with your desire to discuss algebraic effects. Composing arbitrarily many red functions, or blue functions, is a solved problem. (I won’t mention the lingo knowin

The paper explicitly states that it’s about Functional Relational Programming, so that’s verifiably correct. I’m not sure if I can agree, though. > It actually doesnt have much to do with "reactive" programming model as we know

The author seems to be referencing a project of theirs with a Finnish name, so perhaps my intuition as a native Finnish speaker can help. In Finnish you’d likely pronounce pijul [pi-jul]. If I were to pronounce the word ”in English” startin

My personal take is that io-ts _is_ typescript’s aeson, but if you’re scared of the baggage it comes with then how about giving zod a try? https://github.com/vriad/zod

Thanks for the reply. So, careful application of mapped types and removing the ability to type a property as `foo: bar | undefined`. I understand this is desirable a lot of times especially if you can’t affect the format of what’s being par

Very strongly agreeing with this assessment and hoping Colin will come to agree. A zero-argument function is either a constant, or a side-effect. Given we don’t want a side-effect, exposing a constant instead of an effectful-looking functio

You mention creating object types with optional keys is cumbersome in io-ts. How is that solved in zod, exactly? What allows you to map `foo: union([bar, undefined])` to `foo?: bar | undefined` (note the question mark on the left hand side)

Appears to have goals similar to https://parceljs.org/ , except parcel is under active maintenance and development whereas the latest release on this one is from a year ago. Am I missing something important? :)

I guess this is an easy point of confusion. Are specific instances of functor algebras, then? (What about f-algebras?) What would be the more appropriate word for the category theoretical things the author is trying to refer to here, functo

This rarely gets a mention but totally deserves one: Iosevka[0], a programming font with great ligatures, multiple weights, and customizable character variants to tune it to your preferences. It’s more slender than most blocky monotypes whi
