You can't rely on single studies to come up with conclusions, if you want to play that game you can literally prove or disprove anything you want to. The whole picture can and does…

Yep. It's unfortunate how little people know about nutrition and think it's all BS. A bunch of quacks hijacked the entire industry and everyone somehow believed them

Salt and dietary cholesterol never went from definitely bad to mostly irrelevant. It's still definitely bad. I'm guessing what you had read are magazine articles and 'nutritionists…

I found this really nice explanation of hopf fibrations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXDQsmL-8Us

You cited a magazine article. Just look at the recommendations that nutrition organizations give, WHO, etc, people that are experts in the field. If you think it's bs then there's …

This is just another one of those issues where a scientifically illiterate magazine/paper picks up some article to confuse people even more. It's just pop science, you can't rely o…

A KISS replacement for react + redux. It comes in two flavors: - callbag-html + callbag-store or - callbag-element + declaredom + callbag-store if you're planning on using web comp…

If you're getting shoulder and back pain from poor sitting habits, you should address that directly. Fix your posture, your spine should be slightly curved when you sit with your s…

This is false. There's plenty we know about nutrition. Special interest groups introduce doubt

It's not a blanket statement, that's exactly what daily standups are for. It's a micromanagement tool because they don't trust their employees. If you're stuck or blocked on someth…

If you're talking about purity then I'd agree with that, but I'm talking about haskell as a language. I'm definitely not a haskell beginner, and I know others who are definitely no…

Benefits of using haskell - Reduce programmer cognitive overload I don't know how he could honestly say that. Haskell is much more cognitively demanding than other languages from m…

I've used BEM, atomic design and functional CSS. I actually like some kind of combination of all three. This is my 2c: The pros of functional CSS as a replacement for CSS/SASS vari…

I think passion matters. If you aren't going to be self-employed (most people), and you don't land some really great job (most people) then there will likely be a bunch of things t…

Right? Entrpeneurship is great, but we don't know what those alternative paths would've given us

- It shows you jumped around too much, and there is just way too much irrelevant information Agreed, some of those could be dropped. But some of those are internships or short cont…

Why do people think affirmative action is a good idea? It's not meritocratic. People should be judged based on their skill, not based on their gender, race, or ethnicity. We should…

See my answer to pouta

I don't know of any to be honest, and I would seriously just avoid all of them. Read the fantasy land spec (functions + laws and how it's implemented) instead, and ask questions on…

If you're writing Haskell code you need to be able to understand Haskell libraries and other people's code. You definitely need to understand the type system and what monads are, u…

Haskell is a much more complicated language than Ocaml: - Laziness can be hard to reason about for newcomers who have really only had experience with strictness - You have to learn…

My 2 cents: I love functional programming, but sometimes imperative code is the right solution for something, like quicksort. I'm ok with imperative code as long as the mutable sta…

> Does anybody else think functional programming is just one end of the either/or fallacy? Maybe a trap for contemplative people? > The ultimate goal of software is to build someth…

^ what yodsanklai said ^ Ocaml has declarative OO programming via it's module system. Typeclasses and Ocaml modules have equivalent expressive power, so you'd achieve that with typ…

You're making the common mistake of not thinking through what it's like for the interviewee in that situation. People are notoriously bad at designing technical interviews because …
