If you want to give it a try - I created a template repo, you just need Nix (and Docker, for those poor langs that are not yet available in Nix - you know who you are! ;)) Good luck!! github.com/lambda-mike/ao…

Ok, folks! I'm ready! Last week, I finished my quest of solving #AdventOfCode 2020 using 25 different programming languages - I feel sufficiently warmed up! AoC 2023 - I'm waiting for you!! :D

For those who think the TIOBE Index is a big deal: #JuliaLang entered TIOBE top 20! They also did a nice and pretty accurate Julia summary (hilarious note: "... less expensive than Matlab"): > Julia has hit the TIOBE index top 20. This is the first time in history! Born about 13 years ago, Julia is a really young programming language. So what makes Julia unique? Why does it deserve this top 20 position? Julia is especially used in the data science and mathematical computation world. But we already have got top 20 contenders in this field such as Python, R and MATLAB. So why then Julia? Well, Julia is faster than Python, more suitable to write large systems in it than R and less expensive than Matlab. So, speed, scalability and being open source make Julia an attractive alternative. On the other hand, Julia requires more programming skills than the other 3 languages mentioned, so it is really interesting to see whether it can keep its position between the "big boys". -- Paul Jansen, CEO TIOBE Software tiobe.com/tiobe-index/

So, we've done something over the last few months. It is my pleasure to announce Effectful Technologies Inc (effectful.co) a company fully dedicated to @EffectTS_ and it's ecosystem. Deeply honored to have such an amazing team! Stay tuned for more updates.

Learning @EffectTS_ takes time and you will not like many of the things at first. That's inevitable for a library that has 30+ modules and 1000s of functions. Learning @EffectTS_ will save you years of productivity if not decades, and anyone who knows it can confirm.

Our Effect community has recently surpassed 1000 members on Discord! 🚀🎉 discord.gg/effect-ts Spread the word & invite others to our growing Effect community! Let's continue making a difference together! #TypeScript

Friends, I need you to retweet or attend. As a community, we are struggling. We need to build our women in compilers and tools community. We need your help!

TypeScript is JavaScript that scales, Effect is TypeScript that scales

The folks from @EffectTS_ team churning out top-notch documentation around functional programming in TypeScript land! 🤩 The documentation grows at a pace faster than a dwarven mine! ⛏️💨 #TypeScript #FunctionalProgramming

Functional Programming is hard. But learning it doesn't have to be. You don't need to be a mathematician. And no, you don't need to start with Haskell. Here's a crash course and a list of resources for how to get started in FP with Typescript: 🧵👇

So creators of both libraries @GiulioCanti and @MichaelArnaldi joined forces to unify "effect-ts/effect" and "fp-ts" into effect's ecosystem. The new ecosystem is still under development and is moving really fast. ⚡️ This is going to be huge for js community !!

Great having these educational sessions in the community! This one was a #nix overview and generated a lot of interest 💯

@yunex989 @TutanotaTeam @iAnonymous3000 @StandardNotes @Bitwarden @firefox @signalapp @AnonAddy @RaivoOTP @enteio @2FAS_com @Bitwarden supports TOTP flawlessly in their paid plans, which I use and recommend wholeheartedly <3

Happy #DataPrivacyDay! 🥳 Here are some privacy-first apps frequently recommended by the Tutanota community. What are your favorite apps to quit #BigTech? #DataProtection #Encryption #Security #Privacy @Bitwarden @firefox @signalapp @StandardNotes @AnonAddy

Glad to say I've put in a proposal to @pragprog to co-author a book about #Nix, #NixOS and #DevOps with @toxicnaan The working title is "The Art of Working Deterministically" 📖 #functionalprogramming

When people are hurting, our first instinct is to change their feelings. What often helps them more is validating their feelings. Sharing your perspective is less comforting than showing you understand their perspective. Emotions need to be recognized before they're regulated.

Confident parents raise confident kids. 10 traits of confident parents:

I believe the opposite is also true: Anxious parents raise anxious kids. I want my kids to be sure of who they are and unafraid to take risks. And I know that starts with me. So I looked to other parents I admire and began taking notes. These are the traits I observed:

Confident parents check their fear: Fear is the # 1 battle for parents. We're wired to protect our kids. But fear-based parenting produces fear-full kids. Confident parents don't let fear run the show. Fear is an input to examine, Not a force that dictates their decisions.

TypeScript Turns Ten Today! 🎂🥳 We're humbled and grateful for our community and all that you've done! We wouldn't be here without you, and you've made these past 10 years amazing! devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/ten…
