You model your logic/domain as data using immutable values, and write functions that act on that data. There are a few good things that come from this design decision. It means you can avoid getting into the situation where half your l

Something about putting business logic in a type system irks me more than someone building another compiler or database in Haskell. Business logic relies so much on run-time values that (IMO) using data and predicates is a better fit.

It's probably me but I can never seem to get Zulipchat to work for basic things like pulling up the history of #jobs.

Salaries being literally dictated by geographical market rates is the opposite of socialism.

The behaviour as described doesn't sound toxic unless they're using it to bully and are persisting after having discussed it. Your communication styles don't match and you need to handle it like any other inter-personal probl

The modern workplace for an employee is really not designed to incentivize above average productivity. I don't claim to be an anything-X developer but I find my productivity runs in cycles. In the circumstances I've turned out hig

Maybe they don't want to force their users to download several MB of framework libraries in order to use their website. DOM manipulation is perfectly fine for interacting with styled documents, the web's forté. If your website amo

List all the open source dependencies you use at work or at home. Start by checking out the one that turns up the most often and work your way down from there.

The earliest use of the term in the DSM is "Attention Deficit Disorder (with and without Hyperactivity)". You're clearly working from your own colloquial definitions and applying the contents of a single blog post to an anecd

It does exactly what the documentation says it does: "Creates and interns or locates a global var with the name of symbol and a namespace of the value of the current namespace ( ns )."

Your comment is inaccurate in the extreme. You don't understand the basics of the diagnosis, so please don't attempt to apply them across the internet.

Same in the UK. Especially annoying if I search for a book to buy and only .com's appear in the results.

Static types enforced by a compiler catch more bugs in logic that can be encoded in the type system at build time . How costly are these bugs? It probably depends on context. For a business app/SaaS, is the compiler going to prevent y

During my university studies, a few classmates decided to edit a Wikipedia page for a niche technique in our field - changing the article to state it was invented by a rather boisterous member of our group. The year following our graduation

According to the Stack Overflow Developer Survey[0] your intuition is wrong. C, C++, Java devs are paid less than average and F#, Clojure, Elixir devs above average. COBOL and Haskell didn't rank in the survey. I 100% agree most engine

The UK already has a well known system of coordinates called the British National Grid (BNG). You'd be hard pressed to find a map printed in the last ~80 years that doesn't have BNG coordinates in it. Replacing it with a new propr

What properties do you think make modern JavaScript a good language, rather than a (now, finally) barely passable language being actively ruined by its own ecosystem?
