The summary of the post says that lambdas/procedures/etc. are another type outside of composition and inheritance. I’ve always thought of lambdas as composition though. You’re assigning a function just as you would any other data,

Thanks for the link! I read through it and agree with most of your points, especially the parts about presence and separation of tasks. I personally liked the intellectual aspect of it, though I also agree that the emotional component shoul

Showing my age here, but this reminds me of knex. You would get different models but you could make whatever you wanted out of the parts. It was a great creative toy back in the day. I just took a look online and they’re still selling kits.

I put down $50 to reserve one. I grew up with an old car that I tinkered with endlessly. Mostly because it was simple enough for me to get my head around! This car reminds me of that time. I'm hoping that they go with a lot of "of

Do you have a doc or article that describes more about this? I’ve worked with relational algebra before but I’ve never heard it described with an API before. Are the responses all table based? I suppose you could wrap all calls with a SQL s

Yep! I haven't read the article, but the core issue that DevOps is trying to solve is the old division between coding and deployment/ops. Back in the day you would have one team writing code, and another team managing the infrastr

We can replace some of the engineers income with company equity ie: shares of the company. This way we don't have to take out as large loans, but we have to give up a certain percentage of the company. This can be done via share transf
