I always felt like go channels were more of a clever solution than a good one. Goroutines are a pleasure to work with though.

Using document.addEventListener means it will work even if the DOM is updated without having to add new event listeners. If I'm not expecting the DOM to change I would be more incl…

I don't recall the exact numbers but I had a very similar experience, scoring very highly on spatial reasoning almost to the detriment of everything else. I remember a close friend…

I imagine the red blood was very noticeable on the white snow. I might be wrong though.

I assume you're referring to Kowloon Walled City?

I'm not sure that's entirely true in the UK. The Polish plumber taking British jobs is a fairly common trope in far-right discourse. I believe this is prevalent across Western Euro…

You can also use anonymous functions if you find the module syntax a little terse or clunky for shell scripting. double = fn a -> add.(a, a) end double.(4) It starts to look a bit …

Would Be Nice Ifs, maybe?

It was already fairly popular in the UK prior to being acquired by Facebook.

I live in a smaller city in the UK so my experience is likely much different from those living in larger cities. I never wear a helmet when riding a bike and used to commute daily.…

> 2. Any advice about automatic whitespace/indentation handling with Emacs? I use prettier-mode and editorconfig-mode. Everything is formatted on save so works well for me.

There's an inherent difficulty in making difficult things easy. I think we're more likely to improve the ergonomics of writing software rather than make it easier for others to tra…

I really wish the GraphQL alias syntax supported something like: query { users { email: contact.email } }

Interesting. I do the same thing in Elixir where I'll attach an iex session to a Phoenix application so I can interrogate modules and APIs as I'm building them out. I'm slightly di…

Is there a simple way to get code I write in a lisp REPL back into my editor? That's the part missing for me and why I usually only use interactive shells (REPL or otherwise) for t…

I've found a fairly workable solution is to have an origin for the API in CloudFront and a behaviour to route /api/* to that origin. Saves any CORS headaches. Obviously this won't …

Quite the opposite :) My preference would be to rely on pattern matching (unification) in the function head: def transform_data([_|[]]) do: [] I just wanted an example of using gua…

You're right, they're not really "early returns" but for me at least they are often in similar fashion to the "early exit" pattern in the article: def transform_data(raw_data) when…

I'm currently writing a lot of Elixir where early returns are a feature of the language ( https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/Kernel.html#module-guards ). I also write a lot of JS and tend t…
