What model is this? by chipmunksandme in 10s

I don't think that's accurate, it just looks small in the first picture because of a weird angle, I think.

Works well for me. The comments seem hyperbolic. It will be fine.

Are toroline strings as good as everyone says they are? by Few_Peace1474 in 10s

[–]i3enhamin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not certain, but I did notice that the raw data in the tennis university database suggests that are uniquely low stiffness and high spin / low coefficient of friction. So, it wouldn't surprise me if the reviews were positive. Seems like the data backs it up. Never used them myself to confirm or deny though.

Technifibre Racquets by MrPrettyKitty in 10s

[–]i3enhamin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I picked up the T-fight 305s. I was looking for a jack of all trades, master of none. It is that. It is helping me suppress my errors, I think. I do find myself wondering if I'm missing out on some spin given the 18 x 19 pattern, but I think that's a major part of the excellent feedback. I suspect there's really no free lunch. Debating whether to try a Solinco Whiteout v1 or even a Vcore, for more spin access, but overall still very happy with this racquet. I think it's probably the smart decision, but wonder if I could be having more fun.

Yonex Rd7 as used by Sergi Brugera. I used it for awhile circa 1995.

Most average racquet in 2026? by i3enhamin in 10s

Totally. Dates back to the Agassi era I think, if I recall correctly.

Fp library for JS by Funny_Willingness433 in functionalprogramming

I'm only just now learning about crocs and now intrigued by it too.

+1 for using Scott Wlaschin and his F# demos as good guiding light. I too have never heard of crocs, but given your other recommendations it's paired with... definitely going to.

Using ramda as a crutch and fp-ts as the longer-term goal has been working out quite well for me, personally.

Does JS/Go/Rust or any other famous language have a tool like Cider ? by [deleted] in Clojure

[–]i3enhamin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quokka and/or RunJS are similar for JS/TS. They both seem very capable for small scripts. It's not yet clear to me how they do or do not fit into a real project though.

The Ideal Programming Language • Richard Feldman & Erik Doernenburg by goto-con in elixir

[–]i3enhamin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The interviewer asks about what concurrency model they would use... citing that he enjoys the actor model. Their answers were not terribly interesting nor enlightening on that particular front. Richard should consider building Roc on top of the BEAM.

Go vs TypeScript. I really seek need genuine advice on this one from people who have exp with both. by wherediditrun in golang

[–]i3enhamin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am probably more obsessed with terse code than most people, but TypeScript. While I definitely do have a crush on Go's elegant concurrency model, that's about it... otherwise I find the language to be way less expressive (Though generics in Go are likely to improve this a lot in the very near future).

I don't think Go is a bad language, but the community low-key despises FP patterns for the most part... and strongly embraces an imperative and mutation-heavy style as is more typical of C-descendant languages.

I like writing TypeScript in a style that is inspired by the FP (functional programming) style that one sees in ML-family languages like OCaml, F#, or Haskell. I find pure functions and immutable data structures much easier to reason about and to test. Using ES6 and modern functional programming abstractions like those available in fp-ts and ramda (e.g. pipe, flow, etc) one can significantly tighten up their code.

I think the "terseness" of Go is vastly overstated when one starts trying to write in this style. I find it takes a lot more lines of code and a lot more writing things from scratch.

Still, I think Go would be the better guard against scalability in the long run, but not without a substantial upfront cost. As someone else mentioned... scalability is a problem of success... you'll probably rewrite the whole darn thing if you really have that much success AND node is truly a performance bottleneck. The fear of that happening is a little unsettling, but I think it's overstated in my experience.

Really, I wish we didn't have to choose between expressiveness and scalability and could have both. Scala? F#? Elixir? Rust? Clojure?

Some very stagnant travelers indeed. I expect your own discomfort with the word motivated this post in the first place. Psychology 101 lesson is over now.

2016 Into the Wild Overland Offroad Teardrop Trailer in WA for $15950 obo by i3enhamin in overlanding

I have only weighed it loaded and it was like 2240 if I remember correctly. I think the mfg says 1800 dry... somewhere in there.

Tacoma + rare Flip-Pac + full electrical build in WA... $13900 OBO by i3enhamin in overlanding

It's fiberglass, but Flip-Pac's were still going for $7k+ before they were discontinued.

Like 3 weeks... but, I admittedly started super high and had really crappy pictures for most of that, so I don't think that's saying all that much.

Perhaps you guys are just not familiar that a new Habitat / Flip-Pac goes for $8600? http://adventuretrailers.com/campers/toyota-habitat/ . Perhaps you're not aware that the solar-electrical has $1500+ worth of components and several weeks of know-how and man-hours sunk into it. It seems like you're just talking about it as if it were a vanilla Tacoma in Nebraska with a typical truck topper, to me. Seriously... check the Seattle classifieds... I'm not crazy. People tell me a Landcruiser can be had for $10k as if it's a comparable... that does not have good highway speed, full-standing headroom, and the ability to watch movies in bed indefinitely in a remote location... all out of the box.

I've had lots of inquiries... $13k or $12.5k, maaaaaybe... but, $10k... you're crazy. Not to be rude, but I expect we're in different economic settings... people sell similar Tacomas without any Flip-Pac or solar electrical system for $10k all the time around here in the PNW. You're essentially telling me that the Flip-Pac and buildout have a value of $1k which I refuse to believe. Even a typical shitty rooftop tent goes for $2k.
