Or dynamic typing?

Elm, Haskell, fsharp, automotive enthusiasm, bicycle motocross.
Because FP is hard, and because it's easier to get 1000 Python monkeys to shit out half-baked garbage than it is to get 10 Haskell developers to agree on a set of blessed language extensions.
But when you get it right, your shit stops chewing a hole in itself in prod, and you can sleep at night and leave Slack alerts off over the weekend.
It's fine. Y'all can have your half-baked tire fires. "Industrial success" is a broken metric for "whether or not something is going to create real value for your product". We'll just keep shipping. And sleeping.
Nice summary of the last twenty years of the automotive industry's progress.
Future apps that I have plans for will need to take advantage of hardware-specific features; I see this as a foot in the door.
But if I can't get it in, I'll just market the webapp and pivot my strategy for future products.
Does anyone have a good link to a guide for dealing with the App Store reviewers' capriciousness? Or is it simply a roll of the dice, no matter how closely one follows the Apple documentation?
Oh, I always forget about this.
It's not necessary when you only ever ride singlespeed bikes... just wrap your chain around the rings and let the first few cranks do all the hard work!
But if you have a derailleur and whatnot... yeah, don't skip this step!
Wax fills in all of the voids between the bushings, roller pins, etc - so it physically prevents dirt from getting into your chain. And since there's no oil to cause the dirt to stick to your drivetrain, your gears don't wear down as quickly (as oil / grease + dust is abrasive; each rotation wears the chain and rings down ever so slightly).
Degrease your bicycle chain with kerosene or some other solvent, and submerge it in molten paraffin for 20 minutes.
I have been doing this to my bike chains for almost a decade now, and it makes a big difference.
Whenever someone starts to talk about their own problems and shortcomings, and then tries to get _you_ to agree that those shortcomings aren't really _their fault_, be careful; not only are you being lied to by them, but they are also being lied to by them.
And if they get _you_ to concur, then the defense against change has succeeded. The status quo remains untouched.
If this lady ever starts swimming more often, it won't be because a bunch of other people agreed with her idea that discipline is the enemy; it will be because she found some.
Those of us who love this language and want to see it succeed are highly invested in creating more Elm jobs.
Jobs pop up in the #jobs channel pretty often in the Elm Slack. I interviewed for several before finding the perfect fit.
This is awesome. Thank you for building it.
There is... _so much Texas_ that isn't Austin or Houston or DFW or San Antonio.
A lot of it's really great, too. I miss Texas.
That's great advice if you're 18 years old; but some things are worth the risk.
If you're not all in, you're not in at all. While this certainly applies to work in some cases, it applies as much as again if you want to start a family.
Modern relationships are a hell because everyone has their eye on the door at all times - ready to bolt at a moment's notice if something goes wrong, or if something better comes along.
You'll never have a family of your own with that mindset; it's a problem that causes itself.
It's a system for semantic variable naming.
I wrote about it a few months ago:

Seems a bit like pointing out that running `sudo rm -rfv /` will let you watch your shell eat your whole system a file at a time.
I could be wildly wrong here, though, and I'm interested in some clarification.
The structure and exposition of his arguments is what makes the text particularly engrossing, and I am loath to try to summarize what is best experienced within its intended context.
But I'll give you some copied paste from Wikipedia to get you started:
> McLuhan's insight was that a medium affects the society in which it plays a role not by the content delivered over the medium, but by the characteristics of the medium itself.
And I really mean it; if you're the sort that has an interest in figuring out how things work, which is clearly the case here - you will find it effortless and fascinating reading.
