    (Clearly this topic is trivial. Everything I have said is 50% in jest and 50% burning passion for my favourite condiment. I actually appreciate 's article if only that it gave me the excuse to spend part of an evening researching and writing a little about mayonnaise.)

    As the Dutch would say... this is *lulkoek*. Literally translated *dick cookie*, aka bullshit. So, America may be turning it's back on this fine condiment, but you shan't be missed. May you enjoy your "identity condiments" while I enjoy these fries and 'drown em in that shit'.

    I interviewed John Backus shortly before his death. He told me his work in functional programming languages failed, and would likely always fail, because it was easy to do hard things but incredibly difficult to do simple things.

    The history of open source is practically a religion. For right or wrong, this was bound to strike a nerve with some. GitHub itself as a massive company controlling so much in the space already irked the folks most irked by this outcome.

    Tonight's topic (as voted on by the people) is... GitHub + Microsoft Let's start with a couple questions: Why do people have such strongly held views on this subject? Do YOU have a strong opinion on the acquisition?

    TIL listening to a podcast about TypeScript before you go to sleep results in you dreaming that your crying baby is the ts-server complaining about a type error.

    I think the main issue with Jest is that it's built around the idea of a large monolithic project with 1000s of tests. Working with a large suite of tests you can sacrifice some start up speed for performance benefits later.
