In the US we often use the term interchangeably but internationally they are quite different.

How do you create an environment where everything is deterministic? Do they invoke every supported non deterministic function when creating the environment and rewrite those functions to return the values from the environment's creation time? Is there something more complex happening?

Is there a structured concurrency library being used to manage the chained promise calls and lazy evaluation (IE when the final promise result is actually awaited) of the chained functions?

If an await call is never added, would function calls continue to build up taking up more and more memory - I imagine the system would return an error and clear out the stack of calls before it became overwhelmed, what would these errors look like if they do indeed exist?

I think the identity element would be 1 for integers and multiplication, right?

0 would be the identity element for integers and addition.

The goal is to encode the information you learn while parsing your data into your type system. This unlocks so many capabilities: better error handling, making illegal states unrepresentable, better compiler checking, better autocompletion etc.

No affiliation but it caught my eye when the launched.

Admittedly it still feels abstract to me, but the value proposition of having every capability supported by an API (like AWS's methodology of having all services be API first) on top of an actually chartered bank seems perfectly fitted for the creation of banking services that are significantly easier for consumers to interact with and understand.

I'm curious to see what people build on top of it.

I imagine its how parents might feel when they go to help their children with math homework only to find the math is now totally different from when they were in school and their methods (while still valid) for solving problems are no longer accepted by the school and their child is annoyed by having to reconcile the two systems...

I get the, tailwind works well in a team and scales nicely and you just have to use it, mentality. I've experienced it.

I still prefer a plain style sheets that targets elements by a class or tag (especially since CSS supports nested selectors!).

There is an issue in managing stylesheets, and for that I really like how Remix/React Router manages CSS where CSS flies are defined and applied at the route level. Where that isn't enough or dynamic styles are too complex for a .css file:

    style={{...}}

CSS is so powerful, flexible, and extensible, tailwind feels like a limitation rather than an enhancement. I don't understand the continued appeal, but clearly many others do. I'm not sure why, but I am confident we'll all have moved on to something else in another 3 or 4 years too.

Awesome project and great work on it! Congrats on the launch :)

It seems the sideways arrows in the demo only appear for class based methods and not plain functions :(

Overall I love the idea and have wanted a graph visualization of a codebase showing every function call, who calls it, and who it is called by which this seems to do but for classes. Hope to see this working for functions as well soon! Great work.

Vim has

- normal mode which allows you to enter commands to manipulate text rather than just type characters in the file

- insert mode which allows you to enter text into a file

- replace mode which allows you to replace text

and a few others.

Most editors like vscode, sublime etc only have a single mode that they are always in IE insert mode. Modal editors have additional modes that allow for additional capabilities.

They are tax efficient since dividends are taxed before they can be reinvested (back into the same stock or any other investment) whereas stock buy backs allow the investor, rather than the company, to decide when to incur the taxes which would be incurred by selling the appreciated shares.

Financially they are equivalent.

The only real argument against either buy backs or dividends concerns if the company is better off pursing this return of investment to shareholders or investing the money back into the business to pursue growth. Finding the balance between these two is critical for every company.

I read almost exclusively fantasy and have always loved reading since I was young. Fantasy series are often trilogies or more with some being over 10 books long.

You go on adventures, read about relationships, interpersonal problems, power, team work, individualism, religion, and so much more. While it's mostly what I read, it's not all, but it keeps me reading.

My team has done a lot of work to lean into the tool IE well defined issues, epics, tickets, t shirt sizing for pointing via 1, 3, 5, etc.

There is lots that can be improved for sure.

With this system, my team, in addition to any one else at the company, is able to click into our JIRA board and get a very high level to a very low level understanding of what we are working on.

This allows for very clear reporting structures and ensures our goals are on track with those of the company's. This also makes outcomes more measureable which is exceptionally helpful for reviews.

At the end of the year or halfway through I can go in and say: I worked on these 4 epics that are part of these two Issues which serve company goals A, B, and C. I completed x% of the tickets for each of these epics, led this entire other epic which was completed on time etc etc.

Where we run into issues is when there is a ticket that has to move between boards. The ideal situation is we just move the ticket from board to board as needed but based on the user they may or may not have permissions and have to open a new ticket linking it to the previous one. Not ideal but that's up to us to resolve to make sure the right people have the right permissions.

We ignore all the analytics IE burn down and friends. Those are useless.

We considered Adaptive Cards, but ultimately decided against it in favor of our own schema especially since we already had platform specific UI libraries.

Why?

Adaptive cards proved inflexible for uses not part of its core capabilities.

Adaptive cards doesn't allow for interactive elements IE charts or graphs with tool tips.

Adaptive cards doesn't appear to be well maintained or supported for ongoing future needs.

There were some other reasons but they are fuzzy a couple of years after the fact. This was one of the most fun projects I've worked on, I had to write a mini parser which is always a fun exercise, and I think it had massive potential. Would have been a very cool project to ship to prod fully but it wasn't meant to be.
