In this blog post, Florian Verdonck discusses a new feature in F# that aims to improve the performance of type-checking during project compilation. Currently, type-checking is done sequentially, which can be time-consuming. The new feature, called Graph-Based Checking, allows for parallel type-checking of files, even without signature files. The post explains how the feature works […]
This Substack post is inspired by the work of Sir David MacKay, who used engineering and math to evaluate if Britain could power itself from renewables. In his book ‘Sustainable energy – without the hot air,’ he concluded that renewable energy alone was insufficient and advocated for nuclear and carbon capture and storage. However, recent […]
