One can only speculate as there are only two other single-letter .com's (q.com and z.com) and there won't be others [1] . Wiki article says "GMO Internet, Inc. purchased Z.com for nearly $6.8 million from Nissan, who previously used it for the Nissan Z series cars." [2] For comparison, asking price for b.org or r.org are $500k but .org's typically command less than .com's.

It is useful to differentiate this, though. Consider a datatype of map with values of type T. The function to return value for a key returns None when the key is not in the map, but what if the key is in the map, but the actual value is None? IIRC Lisp has a workaround but it requires special code to handle maps that can have None as values.

As the other posters have said, it (automatically flattening the Maybe monad) is non-composable and should be considered a bad language design, like it was a bad idea to automatically flatten lists in Perl.

How many different places have you had tap water? The tap water in SoCal, west Texas, Seattle, and Hawaii all have distinctive tastes. Or have you tried distilled or R/O water?
This is also an interesting/insightful comment.
But again, Tarot (and especially Astrology: you cannot really change when you were born) do not encourage self analysis and especially any attempt to change your own mental models/way to do things.

Hugo Pratt, author of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corto_Maltese - hinted at this in one of stories about the character.
Allegedly Corto met some sort of Gypsy palm reader when he was just a teen. The Gypsy checked his palm and told him his life line was short, so he would die very young.
His reaction: he took out a knife and cut his own palm to make the line longer.

The latter part is usually missing when you use Tarot, Astrology etc.

There is also a desire to know "what will happen to me", but I think that divinatory magic can help even if you are 100% rational: http://www.pa-mar.net/Lifestyle/I-Ching.html

> is very intelligent but she's really into this stuff.

I was working on an astrology widget for a portal site, and read every advice in it every sign for months at lengths.

None of the advice were ever highly impacting, nor seemed to have a chance to bring problematic results. At best it felt like a nice way to get some variety into someone's life ("wear something green today to improve your luck")

In that light, I feel caring about astrology could be just another hobby, it's pretty innocuous.

I wanted to put this to bed so I pulled some stats.

It turns out it's shades of Grey.

According to the BLM the average wage for the mining industry in the US is $21 an hour. According to the stats linked to below there are several industries above Mining as far S average wage, some significantly so. But at the same time mining is way above the service and accommodations industry, which is dead last on this data. Which I think was your point. Mining shouldn't be compared to the accommodations industry as far as average wage and technical skill are concerned. Just because both come in below the top 5 or so doesn't mean they're all at the bottom.

I don't know. Why does a language model do anything?

The "test" was a print statement, not a unit test. There wasn't a failure message. It had to read the output and compare it to the expected value I gave it.

It claimed it got a different result. I guess it didn't really read the result because it strongly expected something else?

If you use an assertEquals() that loudly complains, maybe it's less likely to do this? I haven't seen it ignore stack traces.

> Primary-file mode's advantages are that the driver can do incremental compilation by only running frontends for files that it thinks are out of date, as well as running multiple frontend jobs in parallel, making use of multiple cores. Its disadvantage is that each frontend job has to read all the source files in the module before focusing on its primary-files of interest, which means that a portion of the frontend job's work is being done quadratically in the number of jobs. Usually this portion is relatively small and fast, but because it's quadratic, it can easily go wrong. The addition of batch mode was specifically to eliminate this quadratic increase in early work.

One example that would improve the above: replace module imports with file specific imports, including within the module itself. You could also make a case for operator overloading and there are probably a bunch of candidates a swift compiler engineer could tell you that would be small but significant like that.

I’m really not trying to argue in bad faith. Many conversations about “free” social services ignore real capital and human cost of the proposal as if it doesn’t exist. Why stop at education when basic needs like food, water, and shelter could all be “free”? The cost of residential water in CA, for example, is about an ⅛th of the education budget.

In the case of covered education for foster kids, I’m conflicted. I’m in favor of providing anyone placed in the foster care system resources to offset their hardship. I would support non-profits that showed they could efficiently direct funding to programs to help foster kids go to college. I would wager there is research that shows positive economic and social impact by sending foster kids to college that outweighs the cost and significantly reduces the risk of foster to prison. But that’s my choice and don’t think everyone else should be forced to have the same convictions.

While not perfect, Arizona exposes this somewhat by offering tax credits for contributions to non-profits in certain categories (aid for working poor, tuition assistance, foster/adoption, public schools). I’m still forced to cover the cost of social programs, but minimally I get have some agency in choosing organizations that align with my philosophy in those domains and aren’t kicking back a slice of that money to politicians.

> The more interesting claim, which this blog post doesn't address, is that dynamic typing plus unit testing lets you produce working programs faster

My feeling is that this is correct, but with a caveat big enough to drive a truck through: for often very different definitions of "working".

In a language with a strong type system, I can usually get something working (correctly!) fairly quickly with very few (and sometimes no) unit tests at all. In a dynamically-typed language, or one with a weak type system, unit tests quickly become essential to avoid simple errors that end up causing abnormal execution termination.

> without having to wrestle a type system for things you don't care about (e.g. malformed input leading to crashes when parsing machine-generated, standardised inputs, as is the case for three of the test programs

I've found that it's quite often that someone thinks a particular condition can't be triggered, when in fact it can be. Data gets corrupted, through coding errors, bad data entry, and many other things. And when you really do know that something can't ever happen (or have decided that the right thing to do is to terminate in that case anyway), most statically-typed languages have escape hatches, like `Option.unwrap()` in Rust.

> keeping in mind that, in Python, a crash due to a type error produces an orderly, if surprising, program exit rather than, for example, memory corruption

Most statically-typed languages out there will also abort cleanly if you do manage to trigger a type error. Languages like C & C++ are the exception here, not the rule. (Not to mention a type error is much much much less likely in a statically-typed language, so this is kinda a weird comparison.)

It's either supposed to be 'subscribe' or there's a whole word missing.
I believe that "modern" astrology takes in account the location of birth (latitude and longitude).
Of course if you go back to more traditional texts (European or Middle Eastern) they did not really have any concept of this, but on the other hand they were making charts and predictions for people of their own area so it was not a big deal. For them.

There is some runtime complexity here though.

With both enums and sum types, if you want to differentiate the types at runtime, you need to include a discriminant in order to be able to do that. Enums include that discriminant explicitly (that's what the `Token::Identifier(...)`/`Token::Number(...)` part represents). The memory layout for, say, a base identifier can consist only of the necessary fields for that identifies, but when it gets wrapped it will get an extra field that identifies which variant of the en it is.

With sum types you have two options:

* You always include a type tag directly in the representation (so a base identifier always has an extra byte or so of information with it). This is typically used in dynamic languages where the types are known at runtime anyway. I believe it's also the case in Java and I suspect other VM-based languages are similar.
* You dynamically generate the enums at compile time (so a base identifier doesn't have a tag, but if it's used in a `Identifier | Number` union, then a tag for that specific union gets added in).

The problem with the first is that it adds unnecessary runtime cost, because now every instance of any type has extra information in it that probably isn't needed. The problem with the second is that the creation and unwrapping of enum values becomes implicit, and you'll probably need to juggle your discriminants around more. Say I gave a function of type Identifier | Number -> Boolean | Identifier | Number, then should the discriminants for the Identifier and Number cases stay the same? Or do we need to add extra code to munge the input discriminants into output discriminants? In the first case, this adds a lot of complexity to the compiler (and may not in the general case be possible), in the second case we have runtime performance issues.

This is, I think, the point that the previous poster was getting at. If you have implicit discriminators, this will have an implicit runtime cost that may not always be easy (or possible) to avoid. That is the value of explicitly wrapping types in enums - the runtime cost can be minimised, and the developer is always aware of where that runtime cost appears.
(As an atheist who found The God Delusion to be one of the most important books I've ever read, as it gave me a solid framework of arguing in what I already considered to be true)

It's okay to read more digestible books, and not serious academic studies. In fact it's more than okay -- in order to understand an academic study you likely need to do a lot of reading on the topic before hand. A pop sci/culture book is very self contained. I can assure you that very few people in the world can read The Genealogy of Morals and understand much of it without having read a significant amount of philosophy before.

Personally, I read Thus Spoke Zarathustra before reading The God Delusion. I can't remember much of the Nietzsche book, but The God Delusion's arguments are forever etched into my brain. It doesn't matter if I didn't get the Russell's teapot argument from a primary source, it matters that I got it.

Have you ever used a language with a good implementation of sum types?

> and then with TypeScript's flow analysis I can easily determine when it's safe to call properties on a value

The problem isn't calling methods on null or undefined. The problem is when the value is null or undefined, but not for the reason you think (e.g. you think your code set it to null, but actually the generic code you called came back with null: T), and so you mix up the semantics.
Find an old flatbed HPGL-compatible one, from ~1985-2000. You may have to wait for one to show up near you, you may need a USB to serial (DB9) adapter [1], and you may have to jury-rig a pen holder if official pens are no longer available, but the cost will be a few 10s of dollars. Look for one with manuals and pens if possible. Graphtec, Roland, and HP are good brands.

Plotters are really fun, and HPGL is easy to generate with code.

Because you don't have to build a feature in your own software that

- stores the templates

- selectively runs campaigns and tracks open rates etc

- create campaigns, see how many users are in there, have a safeguard before you hit "send"

- actually a nice interface.

Let's assume the "open my database to the internet" is not a dealbreaker, then this tool gets your development cost of 1-8 weeks (depends on how big the code base is) down to a 19 USD / m. Depending on where you hire / how much your time is, your opportunity cost of several thousand dollars for the feature are now much smaller.
