You can't rely on single studies to come up with conclusions, if you want to play that game you can literally prove or disprove anything you want to. The whole picture can and does look very different than any single study. Studies var

Yep. It's unfortunate how little people know about nutrition and think it's all BS. A bunch of quacks hijacked the entire industry and everyone somehow believed them

Salt and dietary cholesterol never went from definitely bad to mostly irrelevant. It's still definitely bad. I'm guessing what you had read are magazine articles and 'nutritionists' coming up with their own theories. If

You cited a magazine article. Just look at the recommendations that nutrition organizations give, WHO, etc, people that are experts in the field. If you think it's bs then there's not much I can do about that https://ww

This is just another one of those issues where a scientifically illiterate magazine/paper picks up some article to confuse people even more. It's just pop science, you can't rely on single studies, a lot of studies suck in te

A KISS replacement for react + redux. It comes in two flavors: - callbag-html + callbag-store or - callbag-element + declaredom + callbag-store if you're planning on using web components Benefits: - It uses morphdom for fast diffing, w

If you're getting shoulder and back pain from poor sitting habits, you should address that directly. Fix your posture, your spine should be slightly curved when you sit with your shoulders upright. You can also get a standing desk, and

This is false. There's plenty we know about nutrition. Special interest groups introduce doubt

It's not a blanket statement, that's exactly what daily standups are for. It's a micromanagement tool because they don't trust their employees. If you're stuck or blocked on something, you should talk to whoever you

If you're talking about purity then I'd agree with that, but I'm talking about haskell as a language. I'm definitely not a haskell beginner, and I know others who are definitely not beginners and they feel the same way.

Benefits of using haskell - Reduce programmer cognitive overload I don't know how he could honestly say that. Haskell is much more cognitively demanding than other languages from my experience A lot of the benefits he talks about he co

I've used BEM, atomic design and functional CSS. I actually like some kind of combination of all three. This is my 2c: The pros of functional CSS as a replacement for CSS/SASS variables: - You define your 'palette' up fr

I think passion matters. If you aren't going to be self-employed (most people), and you don't land some really great job (most people) then there will likely be a bunch of things that will suck about your job. If you have some i

Why do people think affirmative action is a good idea? It's not meritocratic. People should be judged based on their skill, not based on their gender, race, or ethnicity. We should be striving for a fair society, not equality of outcom

I don't know of any to be honest, and I would seriously just avoid all of them. Read the fantasy land spec (functions + laws and how it's implemented) instead, and ask questions on an FP channel if you're stuck or confused I&

If you're writing Haskell code you need to be able to understand Haskell libraries and other people's code. You definitely need to understand the type system and what monads are, unless you're main objective is to just write

Haskell is a much more complicated language than Ocaml: - Laziness can be hard to reason about for newcomers who have really only had experience with strictness - You have to learn a lot of concepts from category theory right off the bat, b

My 2 cents: I love functional programming, but sometimes imperative code is the right solution for something, like quicksort. I'm ok with imperative code as long as the mutable state doesn't 'leak out' into the rest of t

^ what yodsanklai said ^ Ocaml has declarative OO programming via it's module system. Typeclasses and Ocaml modules have equivalent expressive power, so you'd achieve that with typeclasses in Haskell. But Ocaml's type system

You're making the common mistake of not thinking through what it's like for the interviewee in that situation. People are notoriously bad at designing technical interviews because they think of it in the lens of what it looks like

I was born in what was then Yugoslavia (now North Macedonia). In order to get a good full perspective of this issue I think you have to talk to several Greeks and North Macedonians. This has been my perspective and experience: It's mos
