Would you choose F# again? If you can - yes. But many companies won't let you. In that case using a popular language and pulling forward techniques to make it more succinct, robust, and performant is usually fine. F# in production -

I was curious if these articles about the DOGE website getting hacked were real or if someone just changed the HTML. But today as of 2025.02.14t1056 ET going to the website does seem to show an unexpected entry: https://doge.gov/workforce?orgId=7cd300eb-cf3f-47f5-90f1-9e66a8bc8d07

My biggest gripe with the Lenovo P1 Gen 7 is the trackpad. It seems overly sensitive - scrolling when I'm not trying to scroll or picking up my palm as an extra touch leading to unintentional 2 or 3 finger interactions.

I am confused how increased tarrifs could help the US economy. A tarrif is an Import Tax - the importer pays taxes to the US gov't on goods imported. This means: * Imports are more expensive * Production Costs goes up * Raise prices to remain profitable * Customer pays more

Why camelCase might be better than snake_case: * camelCase is easier to type (SHIFT + char easier than "_") * camelCase variables are shorter, maybe easier to read and type * Many langs prefer camelCase so may be more consistent

I know the whole DOGE initiative is to make things more efficient and they've been granted access to all "non-confidential" gov't computer systems. But it is a bit alarming to think that Musk and Aides may get access to / control of some of the most sensitive computer systems of the US Gov't.

The Lenovo P1 Gen 7 is a bit of a fingerprint magnet. A lot of this is due to the top being made of aluminum which is known to attract fingerprints (the black aluminum Macs have the same issue). On the one hand aluminum sounds and feels nice. But with regular use doesn't look great.
