You model your logic/domain as data using immutable values, and write functions that act on that data. There are a few good things that come from this design decision. It means you…

Something about putting business logic in a type system irks me more than someone building another compiler or database in Haskell. Business logic relies so much on run-time values…

It's probably me but I can never seem to get Zulipchat to work for basic things like pulling up the history of #jobs.

whoosh :-)

Salaries being literally dictated by geographical market rates is the opposite of socialism.

List all the open source dependencies you use at work or at home. Start by checking out the one that turns up the most often and work your way down from there.

Sounds like a dialect of ML!

The earliest use of the term in the DSM is "Attention Deficit Disorder (with and without Hyperactivity)". You're clearly working from your own colloquial definitions and applying t…

It does exactly what the documentation says it does: "Creates and interns or locates a global var with the name of symbol and a namespace of the value of the current namespace ( ns…

Your comment is inaccurate in the extreme. You don't understand the basics of the diagnosis, so please don't attempt to apply them across the internet.

Same in the UK. Especially annoying if I search for a book to buy and only .com's appear in the results.

Static types enforced by a compiler catch more bugs in logic that can be encoded in the type system at build time . How costly are these bugs? It probably depends on context. For a…

During my university studies, a few classmates decided to edit a Wikipedia page for a niche technique in our field - changing the article to state it was invented by a rather boist…

That's a great suggestion. I'll start the wiki!

How could a business think about charging money for a service?! I won't be falling for it again.

Designing Data-Intensive Applications by Martin Kleppman. It's the other half of software engineering as far as I'm concerned.
