That's what you get for choosing react. Many ways to do the same, many alternative packages. Extra complexity layers to just bind rest json to a control. Good CV booster though.

That’s basically any front-end framework though.

So far Boeing killed far more passengers and pilots.

I'm very much on SpaceX's side of things, but that's a bullshit comparison.

Maybe in the scaly Python-bubble.

No, they deserve to be punished. Is there counselling for rapists?

Oh yes. Those clever psychologists even invented a counselling system that increased the rate of reoffending from 8% to 10%:

Edit: Obviously I would be in favour of counselling that decreased the rate of reoffending.

There should be. Society would be the better for it.

So right-wing that he paid his taxes in Sweden.

Notch is litteraly throwing around the n-word and other really awful shit, what point are you even trying to make?

What point are you trying to make?

Throwing around the n-word makes him a bigot, not right-wing.

He's also embraced some of the deepest of right-wing craziness, Q, and was often parroting right-wing talking points with bonus homo- and trans-phobic tweets salted around.

I would expect to get paid more though and that is not happening (except niche places). Same story with F# and Scala. Not worth it.

Scala software engineers are some of the best paid out there.

What are the examples? There is no requirement for specific domain experience?

Well, I was hired into dev at a quant finance shop (you may draw your own inferences about pay), using F#, with no experience of quant finance.

Niche. Wouldn't be surprised if it's G-Research or Jane Street or one of those very few places.

Could you give an example of something that's not niche? If quant finance is niche, it's quite a big niche.

I don't know whether this is true or not, but either way, working with Haskell makes my job more enjoyable than if I was writing some other language anyway.

You always end up buying more than one, despite their extreme durability.

Its the Bike Number Rule:

The correct number of bikes to own is n+1 .While the minimum number of bikes one should own is three, the correct number is n+1 , where n is the number of bikes currently owned.

I was just thinking this fad reminds me of the fixie fad from a few years back.

At least you don't have to wear lycra to use them - unless you want to :-)

Same with camera lenses, windsurfing sails, etc.

Once you start looking at keyboards, you end up searching for the perfect one. I ended up with three...

This appeared on Reddit after I brought my first one. And while I had a good chuckle at myself, I haven't purchased another one in the year or so that has since passed.

Then you should've bought a surface RT cause that hits both marks... /s

In all seriousness, I don't trust Microsoft that they could pull together a proper app ecosystem were they to run one. Even the amount of native x64 apps is dwindling these days since most software released these days are either mobile apps (android/ios) or Web applications.

I was at Microsoft working with them trying to populate their Windows store and windows phone stores with apps and it was an enormously expensive operation and even despite the millions they poured in to just make their platforms attractive, it fell short.

Windows phone wasn't ready, but I liked it nonetheless and I felt that they were going in the right direction. But they didn't manage to attract any of the bigger companies to produce first party applications or if they did, they were paid for a period of time after which they were deprecated.

If Microsoft doesn't go where the masses are, nobody will buy their stuff as they get vendor locked into a barren ecosystem. That's why I'm glad that they decided to go with android, they get to produce their (in my opinion) beautiful and exciting hardware without making their customers fear for the future of their devices.

Yeah, but the "bad" party is lying now.

"Free" because the product is you!
