We need Amdahl's law for limbs

Power law:

The number of people decrease as a power of the distance you travel away from popular spots

Goodhart's law: "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure"

You still lose the benefits of Affine Types in Rust though

It can be type safe and testable with free monads

That's why I love the Readex Pro font. It also has glyphs for Arabic and a lot more languages in the same file, so I can use one font file for everything.

You can also use jbang to run java scripts with dependencies

I'm trying to build a native postman alternative using Rust + Iced. I want it to use .http files as its collections and .env files as its environments. So that data is stored in plain text and easily editable by AI and usable by other apps like VSCode rest client.

Whenever I'm filling a long form on an official website, I feel like I'm racing against an invisible clock because of this session time out thing that happened to me countless times.

That's almost the same thing as parse don't validate: https://lexi-lambda.github.io/blog/2019/11/05/parse-don-t-va...

It’s portability for a price especially if you already have your own peripherals

I’m sure if Go had nullable types and/or sum types from the beginning, it’s have been much more popular

There was also purescript: https://github.com/andyarvanitis/purescript-native

I'm surprised nobody mentioned types or type systems as one of the best solutions for eliminating fear. Out of all the systems that worked on, the ones that were changed fearlessly were stuff written in Haskell and Purescript. That was before Rust became so popular. These systems were changed fearlessly and we had very minimal tests. The code reviews were much easier to perform as you don't tend to check if the code might throw exceptions but you just need to think about business logic.

These days I'd argue that Rust is at the same level of Haskell and Purescript in fearlessness.

Some languages that removes certain fears:

- Kotlin: removes the fear of null exceptions

- Go: removes the fear of forgetting about an error that this function throws

- Languages with ADT (Haskell, Rust ... etc): remove the fear of missing a case

Also don't forget about:

sleep: bed, mattress, pillow, sheets ... etc

workout: gym membership, bike, ... etc

food: organic, heirloom, natural ... etc

I'd claim that this is a logic that comes from rich, first world countries where you don't need to prioritize things in life much, as you can mostly afford everything. Poor people have to think thoroughly about everything they spend money on.

Why this non-sense in pricing?

- 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD is $1200

- 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD is $1500

This is much worse than Apple, and I thought MSFT was more sensible than that!

That’s the question worth asking imo. I was wondering how fast is the idiomatic Java solution

I'd love to find a workplace like that

What I noticed too for pushing the for loops down is that more functions start taking list of things instead of one thing. This makes it easier down the path when a requirement change and we need to handle multiple things instead of one thing with the same code logic. It decreases overall change in the codebase.

My battery with FF on a Macbook Pro with M2 still lasts less than the same device with Chrome. Hope this improves soon.

Ofc, Safari beats them both but I hate Safari's plugins system so I need a browser that doesn't need an AppleID to install plugins.

If you were taken a hostage by terrorists, the government is trying to free you, would you prefer them to:

- kill the terrorists and you OR

- stay with the terrorists until the government figures out a peaceful way to free you first before attempting to kill the terrorists?

Another Q: If you were living in a certain city, they found out that there are terrorists around your house, maybe they dug a tunnel close to you, would you prefer:

- the army carpet bombing the area?

- the army attempty by other means to get rid of the terrorists?

Have you read the linked page?

Adam and Moodley cite the marriage law as an example of how Arab Israelis "resemble in many ways 'Colored' and Indian South Africans".[237] They write: "Both Israeli Palestinians and Colored and Indian South Africans are restricted to second-class citizen status when another ethnic group monopolizes state power, treats the minorities as intrinsically suspect, and legally prohibits their access to land or allocates civil service positions or per capita expenditure on education differentially between dominant and minority citizens."

Do you have learning resources you are using?

The language and way of writing feels very weird. The concepts are simple genetics but for some reason I don’t get the idea of underlying type. Wish they used a more formal language

I'm wishing now for this to happen. At least for now tech companies are pricing things a bit more fairly

It's ridiculous to me that the most popular languages from the last 20 years or more are the ones that handicapped. They have `and` types but not `or`.

It sounds like a very basic logic tool that's needed for types.

Interesting, didn't think about closures in Python before. It seems that JS has the same behavior.

Java forces you to final copy the variable.

This comment seems offensive and feels like you associating radicalization with Islam
