The pilot must have played this shot before, because they clearly took the lie into account ..

I would love to get a letter neatly printed on each knuckle in Times New Roman font.

Anyone know how Kilmar pulled it off? Did he shove his hand in a laser-printer or something? Is he a brave/mad/genius ?

Wild .. I was reading it recently, and was kind of surprised how well it spoke to present day matters

Of the two stances, I feel that the unbiased anti-immigrant bias occupies the higher moral ground.

I guess the others scratched that itch by "beating the Bishop".

We've been blessed this winter with frequent American Kestrel sightings. They're beautiful from any angle, but I'm especially fond of capturing them in flight! 🥰🥰🥰 #Kestrel #CentralPark #birding

That's one chonky lookin' sparrow hawk!

What are they eating in your neck of the woods?

From what I could find, their wingspan is between 20" and 24".

They're the smallest falcon in North America .. and the only one that intentionally hovers as part of their hunting strategy.

They're also, imo, the most striking looking raptor in North America .. and that's saying something.

It's deeper than that. The image below is a simple illustration of how careful use of algebraic data types, combined with static type checking, can help ensure semantic correctness while writing the code.

Imagine these benefits in a large system, with vastly more complex, interdependent types.

3/ It takes away the biggest fear w/ refactoring, which is that structural changes cascade, and they are hard for a human to keep track of. But if structural relationships are clearly captured in the type system, the machine can easily check for consistency, and dev can work at a conceptual level

2/ If you make the best possible use of the type system, there's a fairly close correspondence between type correctness and "semantic correctness". So you can fearlessly refactor, and let type checking do most of the heavy lifting .. once you eliminate all static type errors, it often "just works"

1/ It has an extremely expressive type system, and static type checking.

Changing how things are structured basically involves changing types. TS's static type checking finds everything that is impacted by the change. Note that tweaking those dependent structures often has a ripple effect.

Agree .. I tend to think of refactoring as "structural rearrangement". If a lot of "parts" are "in the wrong place", the changes could be significant.

As an aside, this is where Typescript stands out from the crowd. I have done massive refactorings in TS, and gotten them right the first time.

Yeah, I don't think that most people realize that nearly all land mammals, by mass, are either humans or something that will be eaten by a human.

Only 4% of land mammals, by mass, are wild.

70% of all birds, by mass, are poultry.

Wildlife is basically a rounding error in terms of biomass.
