The amount of typos in your post… cheers!

Related to the "blissful" feeling, an under emphasized criteria when choosing current tasks for engineers from a backlog of tasks is which feature are they more excited to work on …

This is the first thread ive commented on since trump was inaugurated and it’s sad to see HN has turned into Reddit. emotionally charged, bad faith assumptions at the smallest whif…

But the memories will live on in our hearts.

I didn’t say I was in favor of axing all govt positions and grants, dude.

The regulators ain’t regulating. That’s their main job, not innovation.

The federal govt can’t be the majority of technological innovation. If we’re lucky this vacuum will be filled by an even larger private sector innovation hub like Xerox park and be…

> I imagine the entire point of RTO mandates is to keep cities sustainable. The main important factor IMO is mentorship of junior talent. (I'm speaking for technical orgs) Viewing …

I think it's less capability and more the cost of goods. You can't compete with items that are half the cost to produce in east asia. Manufacturing was always going to move to wher…

I didn't use it 10 years ago but I've been using it for the last 4 years on mac and linux exclusively. Microsoft seems to be prioritizing "cloud" on all their developer products (r…

> string_of_int, int_of_string That didn't bother me so much because i speak spanish and can read french. OCaml is of french origin. `string_of_int` is a bad english translation—sh…

What do i even pay Vercel for?! gah

Wait, all the music I bought on bandcamp can disappear if the artist removes it from their public inventory?

I recently learned about buying Mp3s on Amazon. Most CD purchase pages have a "purchase options" and you can do Mp3s. I do that for mainstream things for my kids that aren't on ban…

ML (which is the precursor to OCaml/f#), pascal, basic, and sql use . If you consider that to be in that camp. I actually never thought of it that way. Interesting table here highl…

I just assumed it was an erlang thing since elixir and gleam both do it. Now it seems even more odd that erlang doesn’t do it but they both chose it.

One thing I dislike with erlang based languages (both gleam and elixir) is that they use “ ” for string concatenation. In F#, “ ” is the equivalent of “!=“. Postgres also uses for …

My main criticism of this article and the article it references is that it refers to Marc Andreessen as a “not-so-bright billionaire” who “doesn’t build shit”. Do people forgot tha…

I’ve been using f# in production for 4+ years and haven’t used windows in like 15 years. Speaking of LSP, the lsp standard is developed by Microsoft so naturally any dotnet languag…

A lot of major C# features were first implemented in F#. I think of it as a place for Microsoft engineers/researchers to be more experimental with novel features that still need to…

I use f# daily at my company and am actually glad that many dotnet api integrations use array buffers (e.g. a byte array for streaming) this forces me to optimize the f# code by th…

My biggest issue with GRPC is direct mapping of ip addresses in the config or at runtime. From the docs: "When sending a gRPC request, the client must determine the IP address of t…

I was a speaker at this years Figma Config (ends tomorrow) and we all had to use keynote since it has way better support for video and animations than goog. I’m sure that won’t be …

We use esp32-s3 at my company (smart speaker) but we don't don anything fancy. Can you explain this? Why use esp as a peripheral if you already have an ARM chip? We were considerin…

I agree with you on hardware but I'm not talking about hardware. I'm talking about UX. There is a huge difference between being iOS and being an app on iOS as far as access to the …
