While laudable, this seems significantly harder to implement than banning advertising. Not that either are particularly feasible policies but this one seems harder.
https://www.hillelwayne.com/post/graph-types/ gives an interesting take on why we don't see a graph type as a primitive on more programming languages. Essentially boils down to graphs being very vague and depending on the topology of your graphs you are going to want different implementations for reasonable efficiency.
I like this. Testing the browser extension now and pretty happy with it (after tweaking so returning to a tab has a grace period). I was using StayFocused, which is okay, but too tempting to just disable it (and annoying if I need to access a blocked site for work purposes).
Java Streams and Kotlin Sequences provide similar iterator capabilities. Iterators are great for this lazy performance but can sometimes be difficult to debug. Especially if you are nesting many iterators, then extracting the underlying collection can be complicated. But necessary in many workflows.
Excited to hear about Hardcover! I like StoryGraph but the lack of API frustrates me - I want to be able to sync back to my general notes store (Obsidian). Hopefully Hardcover works better with that.
>Debug information tends to be large and linking it slows down linking quite considerably. If you’re like many developers and you generally use println for debugging and rarely or never use an actual debugger, then this is wasted time.
Interesting. Is this true? In my work (java/kotlin, primarily in app code on a server, occasional postgres or frontend js/react stuff), I'm almost always reaching for a debugger as an enormously more powerful tool than println debugging. My tests are essentially the println, and if they fail for any interesting reason I'll want the debugger.
What are some of the challenges involved with international hiring in a remote environment? I work at a fully remote startup with ~200 employees. We hire from a couple dozen countries but I know there are fairly significant barriers whenever we add a new one. What are some of those challenges? Are they getting more streamlined?
