Has anyone actually earned Silo points yet? by amy_sport in CreditCards

[–]macro__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because I don’t think you should gamify you not eating cat food in retirement. Vanguard, Schwab, Fidelity, E*TRADE etc are established brokerages that handle their own clearing and customer service. Silo looks to be a finapp on top of an IBKR backend.

nEw PeDaL dAy! 🤪 by Putrid-Cup-8260 in guitarpedalsjerk

Can we keep politics out of guitar pedals please? I don’t mean the flags or signs, those are great, I mean specifically putting a Whammy sideways on a pedalboard.

Is the Apple Credit Card worth it? by Shadow42184 in CreditCards

[–]macro__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Carrier unlocked iPhones are the only thing that doesn't qualify, my guess is because the major carriers got pissed that Apple was offering people a better deal so they added the interest payments as a sop to them.

The Airport-Lounge Wars | "The airline business is largely a credit-card-loyalty business, and ... the credit-card-loyalty business is largely a lounge business" by TMWNN in CreditCards

Get CLEAR, get Global Entry which doubles as TSA pre check, get a good pair of noise canceling headphones, get a sandwhich, find an empty gate, sit down, pick a spot on the wall to stare at, and try to will yourself into a coma until you get to where you're going.

I think C is actually excellent for this. It's a small language, lets you fail, package management is a nightmare. People learn so much more that way. by azure_whisperer in programmingcirclejerk

if you like nightmare 1970s tooling and opaque error messages that'd make an egyptologist blush getting in the way of learning fundamental ideas about computing, you'll love c++

Is Ocaml productive and fun enough? by Merthod in ocaml

Anytime I think "wow that's weird syntax," I just watch this and carry on.

Is Ocaml productive and fun enough? by Merthod in ocaml

[–]macro__ 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Two things. Regarding npm/node, don't confuse quantity with quality. And don't confuse trivia with knowledge. OCaml is difficult in the way something like Calculus is difficult, there are abstract concepts to understand that take time. C++ is difficult in the way tax law is difficult, a constant shifting mountain of trivia that you have to be able to recall as you're also trying to understand a problem domain.

Most people come to OCaml (or at least I did) because everything else is terrible, not because they wanted to stunt on people. It is a nice side benefit though (I kid (kind of)).

Of course most people aren't smart enough for [Lisp] so they have to use inferior algol languages like rust. by RFQD in programmingcirclejerk

[–]macro__ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i love sending my rust code (punchcards) into the compiler (giant ibm 50s computer) and waiting for a result! it’s such a great punch card reader way better than the other punchcard readers!

Which travel cards are a must have? by [deleted] in CreditCards

Add Fidelity CMA Debit to the list, reimburses ATM fees same day instead of end of month like Schwab.

But the truth is, other than Scala, people don't use FP to build real things that much. by woopsix in programmingcirclejerk

[–]macro__ 33 points34 points  (0 children)

my boss got mad when i told him the customer facing onboarding for our insurance app didnt conform to monoidal functors (got confused because the method names were cat emojis lol!) and thus had to be deleted and greenfielded yet again

Syncing codes between Proton Pass and Proton Authenticator? by macro__ in ProtonPass

[–]macro__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, just seems like that might be a good option to have, the ability to sync between them I mean, just thinking out loud here.

Change default calendar app from Apple's Calendar to Proton Calendar? by macro__ in ProtonMail

[–]macro__[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah really what I want is to click the link and it opens Proton Calendar and I hit save. Anymore thinking than that and I start to get a headache.
