I would say it's pretty common to talk to strangers on the train in England. I could just be the "Northerner terrifying Londoners by saying Hello" though. I do know not to start a conversation with a stranger on the tube.

I always felt like go channels were more of a clever solution than a good one. Goroutines are a pleasure to work with though.

Using document.addEventListener means it will work even if the DOM is updated without having to add new event listeners. If I'm not expecting the DOM to change I would be more inclined to do something like: document.querySelectorAl

I don't recall the exact numbers but I had a very similar experience, scoring very highly on spatial reasoning almost to the detriment of everything else. I remember a close friend getting frustrated administering a working memory test

I imagine the red blood was very noticeable on the white snow. I might be wrong though.

I assume you're referring to Kowloon Walled City?

I'm not sure that's entirely true in the UK. The Polish plumber taking British jobs is a fairly common trope in far-right discourse. I believe this is prevalent across Western Europe in general.

You can also use anonymous functions if you find the module syntax a little terse or clunky for shell scripting. double = fn a -> add.(a, a) end double.(4) It starts to look a bit like a weird untyped OCaml / F# if you

It was already fairly popular in the UK prior to being acquired by Facebook.

I live in a smaller city in the UK so my experience is likely much different from those living in larger cities. I never wear a helmet when riding a bike and used to commute daily. I've never had an accident involving traffic and have

> 2. Any advice about automatic whitespace/indentation handling with Emacs? I use prettier-mode and editorconfig-mode. Everything is formatted on save so works well for me.

There's an inherent difficulty in making difficult things easy. I think we're more likely to improve the ergonomics of writing software rather than make it easier for others to translate business logic into code. I like to think t

I really wish the GraphQL alias syntax supported something like: query { users { email: contact.email } }

Interesting. I do the same thing in Elixir where I'll attach an iex session to a Phoenix application so I can interrogate modules and APIs as I'm building them out. I'm slightly disappointed that it's already something I

Is there a simple way to get code I write in a lisp REPL back into my editor? That's the part missing for me and why I usually only use interactive shells (REPL or otherwise) for testing APIs or small pieces of code. I can't imagi

I've found a fairly workable solution is to have an origin for the API in CloudFront and a behaviour to route /api/* to that origin. Saves any CORS headaches. Obviously this won't work in all cases.

Quite the opposite :) My preference would be to rely on pattern matching (unification) in the function head: def transform_data([_|[]]) do: [] I just wanted an example of using guard clauses. It does depend on the actual code thoug

You're right, they're not really "early returns" but for me at least they are often in similar fashion to the "early exit" pattern in the article: def transform_data(raw_data) when length(raw_data) == 1,

I'm currently writing a lot of Elixir where early returns are a feature of the language ( https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/Kernel.html#module-guards ). I also write a lot of JS and tend to use guard clauses fairly liberall
