Unless you're working on a SOTA HFT application where you're optimising your latency by the nanosecond, I can't see modern .Net/F#/C# being a problem in production. Given that Bing[1] and Azure Active Directory[2] run on .Net Core/.Net 5, which are among the most used applications on the entire internet, the idea that a medium-large project cant use them is ridiculous. This isn't even just with modern .Net aswell, Microsoft Trill has been running trillions of operations a day on single machines since 2012 as a .Net library [3].

For vaccinations? Nope, too few people have been vaccinated. But the claim above was for <<lockdowns>>, for which we do have data.
> F# is only functional language supported by big corporation

It might be the only functional language developed “in house” at a major corporation, but it's not the only one supported by a big corporation, as Microsoft (under the GitHub name) is a leading sponsor of the new Haskell Foundation.
That's only because they waited to do so as a last-ditch effort after their market share cratered. At that point the cheaper alternatives were only purchased by the existing Mac faithful.
Is it me or do factories suddenly catch on fire or explode at the most inconvenient times? It's almost as if demand is controlled via a disaster.
The banks are just responding to government policy. To quote the article, the single family homeowners who think of rising property values as a birthright are the problem, along with politicians and regulators who cater to them. The banks are just an instrument.
depends on the scale of the operation. if you're a small time landlord, one bad set of tenants can easily wipe out several years worth of gains for all your properties. these types of landlords will often hold out for a while, passing over people who are willing to pay the market rent, until they find a tenant they trust not to trash the place.
For the privilege of continued access to a workforce that was educated by public schooling

For access to roads that are maintained by tax dollars

For environmental damages and other negative externalities that the tax payer has to pay to clean up

For an army and police system that allows the flow of commerce to continue without attacks and interruption

For a sovereign wealth fund if there is a surplus of tax revenue one year

For a court system so that corporations can continue to sue each other

To secure the population access to vaccines to reduce the spread of Covid and other diseases

To fund libraries that help the local population

To build sea ports and airports that provide the economy with better trade and transportation

These are some common things taxes are spent on but they are not reasons why corporations shouldn’t pay taxes on their free cash flow, revenue, or some other financial statement line item (FSLI) instead of their profit.
Most of those apps have a (totally gameable) ratings system based on other people’s action of liking you or not

I think the apps should allow users to be opt out of that (short of being completely regulated away) because most users dont think their match/not match choice is affecting that profile’s visibility to others

Even when you are aware of it, and game it to increase your own visibility, its a very toxic way to treat other people

Oh yeah, many profiles you liked are never seeing your profile to make a decision, in case you didn’t know
If not we'll have to write our own by duct taping multiple instances of DuckDB. :)
Oh, I don't mean to negate, but to amplify. There is definitely a huge problem with Uber not doing enough to ensure their drivers aren't breaking the law.
I've been doing that for years to generate static web pages from the D newsgroups:

It's got 20 years of content. No Javascript, just plain html.

It came in really handy when I wrote the history of the D programming language paper.
You report it could have been Sally or Billy
People keep trotting out a trophe of "SF has zillions of empty units" and time and time again, thats simply not accurate. They lump the greater bay area into SF, its apples and oranges in terms of an actual market. The vacant units in SF are not quantified into useful groups, when you dig in the vacancy rate of habitable dwellings is well under 1%

We gotta build.
He published under his real name early on.
The problem of entitled people re-interpreting facts to suit their worldview predates the internet by many millennia. Whether your penultimate "whataboutism" is more or less insightful than this ultimate observation is not an interesting question.
People who complain about 'make' because it uses tabs as significant whitespace.

Especially if they are Python programmers.
I'm not sure I follow. The parent commenter isn't pointing any fingers or saying it's your fault that you were sent to a chiropractor. Simply that it's a bad idea to go to one in general if you do have a choice.
I think you‘ll find a hundred other things more stressful than a messy environment. Fighting with the partner, illness of a relative, someone yelled at me on the street, I slept too little,...
>And I left my job. They were very nice about it, they were tentatively willing to try to make it work. But I just don't think I can do psychotherapy very well while I'm also a public figure, plus people were already calling them trying to get me fired and I didn't want to make them deal with more of that.

"Well crap now I'm a public figure because of this, I don't really have a choice if I want to do my job well in the future."

Using "forced" may be a little clumsy, but it's certainly directionally correct.
This. It sounds like they are fishing more than investing. It’s probably a junior VCs job to keep early startups warm.
If you have persistent brain fog go get your full bloodwork done and check your hormone levels. If anything is off, discuss it with your doctor and get it to an appropriate level.
It is and I can believe him saying that, but then so many things in that article are misrepresented and the hate by now for Balaji by the NYT big enough that I wouldn't be surprised if with context the next sentence is 'Of course, I actually wouldn't wish that even on my enemies' or something.
Drink a glass of water and seriously engage in a different activity for 20-30 minutes has worked very well for me.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"

That's the difference.

>strongly left-wing nature of America’s cultural institutions

America's cultural institutions are certainly strong and center-left, but not extremely left wing. You don't see Hollywood promoting kibbutzim or the abolition of commodities. The truth is way more boring: Rich people on the coasts are general pro-gay marriage or what have you, but don't try to build dense housing near them or raise their taxes.
It always gets me when someone rants about 'fragmentation' and then mentions Windows as if it isn't an example of it. It's the BEST example of it. They forget how many versions of Windows there are, and how hard it used to be to get programs to work on different hardware, even though Windows itself was the same exact version.
Instead of a new tool, most people need a new system. I can't understand why GTD is not anymore in fashion (at least in HN) once it is the most efficient system I ever used. Since I implemented GTD, my life changed and I not even thought of going back.

If you ever try GTD I recommend you this simple implementation: https://github.com/we-build-dreams/hamster-gtd
