I agree with that definition. Maybe lossy is the wrong word, but the transforms historically had gotchas. PPX and what not. Especially when converting between Reason syntax version upgrades and the more stable OCaml syntax (locked to OCaml

`| ((Some (result))[@explicit_arity ]) -> Js.Array.forEach Js.log result` the explicit_arity being added in. I can't think of other examples at the moment.

I think the ReasonML parser and formatter have numerous issues that'll keep it from being adopted more widely. Especially with nested expressions, the inability to find mismatched parens and braces ultimately turned my team's expe

Long ago, when I was at Amazon, we used Collaborative Filtering pretty heavily. It's great when there's a heavily sweetened path with lots of things ordered together or in a chain. It's horrible for moderately popular items t

In the US, maybe contractor/body shops are rarer around dev work? Mostly around the Department of Defense. My point was that employers' ability to pull in lots of short term employees weakens their negotiating power. At least in G

https://github.com/fscheck/FsCheck is something I've used very briefly in the past. I did more work with this sort of thing in Scala. In my experience, you usually end up with much more coverage than you want or n

As an American that took a substantial pay cut (taxes add to the pain) to get into Germany, this sounds about right for my experience. I came over mostly as a cultural thing, and salary was less of a concern. I work with a few Canadians as

Does the article handle ethnically discriminatory hiring practices? Neither "Divers-" and "ethnic"show up in the article, and if it's like Boston's Chinatown, workers are overwhelmingly Chinese.

Boise, ID has the same problem with air quality (and it's also in the Mormon heartland). As a non-Mormon growing up in Southern Idaho, it's hard to argue the church isn't very influential politically and also good at social w

It would be nice if they focused on the JavaScript backend a little bit. There's issues like https://github.com/purescript/purescript/issues/2577 that show the serious performance issues the language has
