The only folks I ever here say "the right tool for the job" are Java devs. /s In all seriousness, people using non-mainstream languages are very attached to them. At least in my sa…

In my experience on Windows 10, localhost doesn't work all the time 127.0.0.1 like it does on MacOS or Linux.

Lazy evaluation is what's most commonly blamed for that, no?

I just walked away from an offer at a React shop in Manhattan for 200K TC. There's plenty of specialization available still.

I agree with that definition. Maybe lossy is the wrong word, but the transforms historically had gotchas. PPX and what not. Especially when converting between Reason syntax version…

`| ((Some (result))[@explicit_arity ]) -> Js.Array.forEach Js.log result` the explicit_arity being added in. I can't think of other examples at the moment.

I think the ReasonML parser and formatter have numerous issues that'll keep it from being adopted more widely. Especially with nested expressions, the inability to find mismatched …

Long ago, when I was at Amazon, we used Collaborative Filtering pretty heavily. It's great when there's a heavily sweetened path with lots of things ordered together or in a chain.…

In the US, maybe contractor/body shops are rarer around dev work? Mostly around the Department of Defense. My point was that employers' ability to pull in lots of short term employ…

> The power balance is so skewed in the direction of the employee in the software industry Maybe for the folks at the very top, the Rockstars of yore. Bloomberg ran this yesterday.…

https://github.com/fscheck/FsCheck is something I've used very briefly in the past. I did more work with this sort of thing in Scala. In my experience, you usually end up with much…

Both BuckleScript and PureScript use the someVar|0 trick.

As an American that took a substantial pay cut (taxes add to the pain) to get into Germany, this sounds about right for my experience. I came over mostly as a cultural thing, and s…

A shortage at the price companies are willing to pay, typically growing slower than inflation.

Does the article handle ethnically discriminatory hiring practices? Neither "Divers-" and "ethnic"show up in the article, and if it's like Boston's Chinatown, workers are overwhelm…

Boise, ID has the same problem with air quality (and it's also in the Mormon heartland). As a non-Mormon growing up in Southern Idaho, it's hard to argue the church isn't very infl…

What are ways companies skirt L1 laws? I always assumed offshoring was done through a country with the laxest visa laws possible.

A lot of the diversity data that companies have put together recently doesn't show the magnitude to which companies depend on non-citizen labor.

It would be nice if they focused on the JavaScript backend a little bit. There's issues like https://github.com/purescript/purescript/issues/2577 that show the serious performance …

I've ended up on a sidewalk turning with snow on the ground. If the sidewalks are the round kinds it seems like that'd be especially easy.

Reason's syntax is a little cleaner and it's easier to get up and running with.

I've heard them called Siren Servers.
