A language that is functional from the ground up can be very beautiful, concise and a pleasure to program in. I agree with you though, that bolting functional programming onto Go will make it worse. Especially with the millions of lines of

> There is nothing preventing people from writing their own reduce() in their own utilities package, and I expect a thriving ecosystem of "even-more-functional-constructs" packages to spring up as soon as generics hit stable.

The idea of a bunch of right wing reactionaries using ultra crappy Web 2.0 project management software out of spite is actually rather amusing. There’s not enough of you guys to keep it alive though (not that you really did this).

Bluecheck Twitter we’re the only people using Basecamp in the first place. They just destroyed their core market.

Most companies do actually evaluate their vendors. Basecamp built a brand on “management” and just proved they’re maybe the worst in the industry at it. Only on HN are people supporting them. It’s a dead company walking.

The founder’s egomania and the customer name list. I’m not going to give a company run by people stupid enough to put a bullet in the head if their own startup, any money.

They’re not just hemorrhaging employees, they’re hemorrhaging customers too. I know I will never give them money. This looks like a fatal blow, not a place someone would want to work. I’m sure they’re hiring though so you could probably get

I would define the basics of survival as: * Basic groceries * Healthcare * Housing I don't think these things are easy to achieve but they seem like obvious goals to societal progress. If not, what are we even progressing towards? >

I pay taxes and I'd be super happy if my money went to support people in this country without jobs. It would lower crime and increase the quality of life for everyone living here. I could also be one of those people someday. Unfortunat

If workers refuse to go back into the office, then the corporations will have no option but to support WFH. I for one would never again work somewhere that didn't offer 100% WFH. It would be the first thing I asked about in a hiring in

I love working from home and would never work in an office again. I prefer the freedom of schedule, quietness and lack of constant surveillance from my bosses. It feels like the office was geared 100% for extroverts and finally introverts h

So are you saying that victims must win a court case to have their story believed but perpetrators should be taken at their word? If someone wants to clear their name, go to court and sue for slander. If it's two people's word aga

It's also a completely false argument since there's libel and slander laws. If the accused was innocent, they would simply sue the false accuser. That they don't says everything. The barrier and punishment for coming forward

Except there's no such thing as witchcraft but sexual harassment is very real. Victims have every right to speak up. Libel and slander laws are also real. If someone is actually making a false accusation, there's already legal way

I am aware. Community management is different from what is legally possible. Were a project owner start to act in a self-interested or malicious manner, then I think proudly and aggressively forking a project is a great idea. That's no

It just doesn't sound very friendly to the open source community. "If they won’t then we will." sounds harsh imho.

I feel like most engineers are pretty good at working remotely (c.f. all of open source). Managers however seem to have a very hard time adjusting. If I were to give some "best practices" for remote management, they would be: * Do

I don't see targeted search advertising as user friendly. A search engine should return the most valid results. As soon as you have sponsored results, there's a conflict of interest. What if the competitor to the neck pillow ad pe

Ah that's unfortunate, I didn't know they were gating content like that. It's still a pretty good deal though, certainly better than bundled cable, and most of the content on these stations is pretty evergreen.

It's not a rewriting of history though. It's all stuff that actually happened. It's just a more complete telling of history. The purpose of pointing this stuff out is so that it doesn't get duplicated. There should be no
