Could you elaborate on that? What does 'flatMappable' mean in this context?

I was fully expecting a radio station in Tamil Nadu, but this one's in Sri Lanka. I know there's a lot of Tamil people in Sri Lanka, but that's still pretty interesting!

A very well-written piece. The section on funding open source is as relevant as it's ever been, and I don't think we've learnt much since last year. As the proportion of younger engineers contributing to open-source decreases

Not the parent, but: Neither. While colonialism didn't _create_ generational poverty, the systemic genocides of the British were new. Colonial policy of prioritizing exports directly led to the deaths of millions. That's a fact. A

Work code: vscode, slack, teams, browser. These are always open. Outlook if I want to check my mail. Personal code: Vim (more recently, zed) and a browser.

As someone who recently started their first internship, I really needed to read this. I've already been on the receiving end of this, and it helps to know that it wasn't a personal insult. The bullet points at the end seem very us
