It's good to see websites acknowledging the grim irony that you need cookies to remember users' cookie preference. I'm surprised that there isn't a microformat specification for this yet. If one browser enabled users to blanket hide all of these I think others would follow.

I'm a huge fan of Swift's 'Error Handling Rationale' design document: https://github.com/swiftlang/swift/blob/9315673c003875158852579bd1f33480cdec5461/docs/ErrorHandlingRationale.md#fundamentals It carefully defines terminology and compares with other languages, so you can understand Swift's position and preference in the design space.

I don't understand the preference in ML family to use currying so enthusiastically. Eg in the signature of a sort function, I prefer (a,a)->Ord as the comparator function signature, vs a->a->Ord. It's easier to distinguish inputs and outputs. Are there upsides I'm missing?

I have a preference for *complete* code examples, even if they're longer. Ideally we'd have better web tools to hide imports/boilerplate.
