Grip strength is an indicator for overall fitness since it will improve from a range of activities, weightlifting being an obvious one but even something like cycling will have an improved grip compared to someone who doesn’t do anything. Improving your grip strength specifically won’t really improve your performance or overall fitness though (unless you are into rock climbing!)

I wouldn’t recommend revery to anyone yet, although it is really promising it isn’t anywhere near ready yet.

Imagine if the temperature dropped to -5c for a week in Bagdad.

The people who live in these areas aren’t used to this kind of consistent extreme heat, especially considering how humid it will be.

Northern India is actually experiencing a heat wave too https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Indian_heat_wave

Don’t the existing and new apis have type definitions?

Why do you feel left out?

phish.ing phis.hing phishi.ng etc

Can you give an example of what you mean by this?

That’s the kind of thing you would use “if” for right?

I can see how this might be possible but does it actually work like this in practice?

Is your k here representing “take k . sort”?

If you are running a sort them you will need to compare each of the elements at least once which will mean you have to evaluate the whole list right?

Sorting has to operate on the entire input, how is laziness an advantage here?

I wasn’t endorsing the essay or advocating for these hyper growth vc fuelled businesses, just pointing out that this checklist doesn’t apply to the kinds of businesses you were talking about if you accept this (common?) distinction between ‘startups’ and other kinds of new businesses.

Whenever you see “startup” on hacker news, people are almost always referring to the aim for massive VC funding, exponential growth, get big or die trying types of companies.

Paul Graham wrote an essay which differentiated startups from other new businesses based solely on growth:

> I basically called her a crank

That doesn’t help.

The people that get swept up in these movements have been called similar in the past and if anything it strengthens their resolve when they finally do find that group of likeminded people.

Why would you expect the ocaml one to be shorter?

It mentions that this is almost entirely due to interface files on ocaml’s part. They unfortunately introduce a fair amount of duplication.

I find it surprising they had anyone stood in the direction javelins would be thrown.

You could fetch and cache data into local storage to prevent re-fetching. Depending on how you are set up you could have both apps loaded at once and display one or the other (perhaps lazily loafing the one you don’t need upfront)

There is no fee. Having prime gives you the perk of 5% cash back but you don’t need it to get a card.

Ocaml is getting something similar to ‘do’ syntax very soon (but for applicatives too!):

We are not warming the earth slowly. We are heating the planet faster than it has been heated for as far back as we can measure.

Rising sea levels will not only cause trillions in immediate damage, they will displace huge population centres.

That will lead to poverty and ultimately war.

10 minutes?

A strategy I have used is: - only lint the files that have changed - only apply lint rules that can be auto-fixed

This usually takes less than a second (short enough that you can't really tell the difference) and the developer doesn't have to do anything .

I have been pretty interested in ReasonML / Ocaml lately, these puzzles are a great oppertunity to get to grips with the basics of a language.

Maybe you will be interested in a library I wrote:

https://github.com/Dean177/jest-to-match-shape-of

I had the same issue, types don't mean anything if they don't align with the data that your app is consuming. My solution was that matcher combined with some integration tests.

Submit a PR, the author will definately see it.

I like having touch id and the brightness / volume sliders and do miss those on my non-touchbar laptop, but thats all i use it for.

It has a generous free tier.

It’s kind of dishonest to share that without also adding that the patient died of a lung infection.

Why was that a dealbreaker for you?

No imagination required, there is such a visualisation in the article.

That seems a little bit extreme, why not just open the issue?
