That doesn't change much, I guess. Still very little power usage compared to an actual turned on machine.


If we start with the reasonable assumption that "being malicious" !== "hacking a bank account", then the answer to your question does not matter at all.


There are some "demos" on the homepage, although I don't think they do a very good job of demonstrating the app.

Klack is an interesting concept, but a really wish there was like a 15 minute real demo or something to really get a feel for what's like. I'm also reluctant of paying for it just to try it out.


Doesn't run with proton for me.


For those who are interested, there's also lots of classes about FP from Bartosz Milewski for free on YT.


I find those awfully long, very sparse, and not much bang (solid content) for the bucks (time spent).

Two great funcprog resources that I know of are:

1. Functional Programming in Haskell by Graham Hutton [0]

2. OCaml Programming: Correct + Efficient + Beautiful [1]

How is that not true for JS given node?


It's technically true, but JS/HTML is different from Node. JS/HTML is interfacing through the browser's DOM, while Node interfaces with the operating system itself.


But you specified JS/HTML, that's through the browser, and it doesn't have APIs for interacting with the OS as a normal language runtime does. JS on Node is about the same as PHP in this regard.


The goal is to build better AI to make more money.


And a lifetime(thus not really an early retirement).


Retiring by 35 is very possible on programmer salaries assuming you start young with minimal debt, and avoid major financial disasters.

It comes down to questions like, am I willing to forgo ever eating out, buying expensive toys, down to AC etc. The issue for most people is extremely early retirement isn’t actually worth major sacrifices when another X years can raise your standard of living significantly.

Unfortunately, retirement isn’t that great when you don’t have money or friends to enjoy it with. The trick IMO isn’t about early retirement it’s avoiding the traps that force you into working a job you dislike.


Depends on how much you save. I'm aiming for the option of retirement at 50. For most of the world, that's a very early retirement age. Anything before 65 can essentially be considered early retirement. You don't need to be 35 to call it early retirement.


Depends really on how high the salary is. I think you have to work out what is important to you, and what in one's life is just gratuitious consumption and can thus be eliminated.


>So changing a column name or type, for example, is pretty easy to refactor, which may not be true for SQL queries and may take significant testing.

You can also get that with raw sql on the right ecosystem. I once developed a simple application using hasql and hasql-th(on Haskell). Very close to raw sql strings but with type checking at compile time. Feels like you're driving a lambo.


I'll have to check that out. Languages I use don't have that type of tooling that I'm aware of :)

Have used Haskell before, but... far from extensively!


Or even worst: when you cannot switch out of it but you're not smart to package proprietary software that's not available in the repositories.
