    ID verified printing out of a new boarding pass is the back up. Or cut out the middle man and just check ID, then let them on.

    More charitable is that the user thought it would do X and it ended up doing Y. They may have even been happy with X even, if they knew that was going to happen, because the whole …

    The difference here is you are not throwing a match for outside money. You are actually doing something in your interest and probably not against the rules (??) so you are just pla…

    Australia "what countries have you been to and when" is fun, if you have traveled a bit. I thought being to Tunisia during arab spring and China and Russia might be issues! Overall…

    You don't have to use type inference everywhere. But I don't think this is a problem in practice for whatever reason. Haskell does have a lot of "big scary type error, wtf" type pr…

    Interesting gap in the market. You need someone who is price conscious enough to forgo the cloud. Either because they are spending millions and want to be spending 100,000 or they …

    In Haskell it is easy. If you "forget" the last argument to a function, you get returned a function where you can provide that later on. A bit like saying "you can fill this in lat…

    Almost as if an astronaut can come, do their thing in a whirlwind and leave for another company 2 years later, while the remaining plebs have to figure it all out.

    If you have just got your first job, this is what the old era was like, when the Federal Reserve was going brrrrr. You just quit and find another job, do the leetcode, get 4 offers…

    Yeah I am imagining a command line tool, such is the bulk he would need to deal with. The speed that would give you, plus the ability to pipe into grep/sed etc. would be very usefu…

    I agree. I thought "I should be the kinda person who loves AI". While doing some courses was super interesting. Waiting around while the computer does a load of computation, a very…

    On Windows it is hellish trying to copy across files like this due to weird permissions issues that crop up. A weird trick that has worked for me is .zip the files you want to copy…

    But I am paid by the hour. I make more money if we do the multi year project :-). That big fancy project needs someone to lead it, eh :-). Now I am up a level on the old CV.

    Easiest way is a DB entry / Environment Variable / Config that turns a feature on and off, some central class/object that reads it and is a source of truth and a bunch of "if" stat…

    Yeah I am more laughing that once encoded in JSON as { "p": 2256, "dp": 2 } you are using 2 floating point numbers. But JSON, and indeed JS wasn't designed.
