We are living in instant messenger hell (petermolnar.net)

I had to install WhatsApp, because some friends are refusing to communicate in any other way, which made me realise how tired and disillusioned I am when I have to face yet another instant messenger network – at least, with some work, Pidgin can still connect to more or less everything and anything.

Gotta love that series on Sword STEM.

Slow is slow and fast is fast. And don’t let anyone tell you otherwise by Sean FranklinSean Franklin

“Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.”
This adage is used to illustrate the fact that speed is gained through efficient movements, rather than just trying to use as much force as possible. And in a lot of ways it is true.
Most of the increases in speed we realize are not from an increase in the ra…

Mentions fp-ts library for typed functional programming.

Pattern matching and type safety in TypeScript by Michal ZaleckiMichal Zalecki (LogRocket Blog)

I think it’s fair to say that most programmers understand type safety as a feature of the programming language which eliminates the type errors.
