Molts votants del Trump volien algú que fes les coses tal com les diu, clar. Però això que fan ell i els altres dos és "teatro del bueno", que deia aquell. Avui volem pau (fent el que vol Rússia), l'endemà ens enfadem amb el Zelensky, i l'altre enretiren els ajuts a Ucraïna. Ja hi comptaven.

I still used Twitter, because the truth is there is so much content that is still missing here. Enough. I can't justify contributing to that platform's strength, even if insignificantly, as it is being misused, nor to its owner, due to his behavior.

I wrote a new article exploring how set-theoretic types (the foundation of Elixir's type system) could address how many statically typed languages do not allow libraries to evolve their data definitions in a backwards compatible manner: dashbit.co/blog/data-ev... - be warned, it is a long one.
Data evolution with set-theoretic types - Dashbit Blog
In this article we explore the challenges of data evolution in static typing and explore type safe solutions.
