Why are there ads all over the place for public mobile then?

It is weird that they were redirecting their customers to Koodo when they stopped offering a certain favorable plan.

What if it’s a function of age, rather than amount of tech we’re exposed to?

For example, I feel younger people are able to focus for longer periods of time on reading long form texts, and an older person may benefit more from finding specific sections from a longer work that they may find interesting or useful that they can read.

As you age there is much more repetition in things than you are consuming. Maybe it’s not bad to be filtering out certain repetitions while hopefully not filtering out things that go against any personal biases.

Furthermore, the books I’m interested in reading now I feel require more time, maybe even a year or two, whereas when I was younger I was really interested in reading massive amounts just for the sake of it.

Does f# have a good repl?

What ml style language has the closest thing approaching a lisp style repl?

I'm still wrapping my head around macros, but I have been able to come up with a couple use cases that I quickly realized were already covered by existing macros, the most recent one being a less flexible -> macro.

Anyways, I kept reading places that lisp macros and c macros were completely distinct, which seems untrue after a couple years of trying clojure.

I read another comment on hacker news today that referred to a type of regulation that is actually accountability.

Perhaps if we were able to classify regulation further it would be easier to analyze the tradeoffs of certain regulations rather than saying all regulation is bad or all regulation is good.

Well put.

It is a good point I hadn't considered that public cryptocurrencies are not fully fungible. I.e. It may be socially unacceptable to accept money from certain known people.

Yeah, sounds like a cool project!

Depends if the leaders even care what 3 junior devs think.
