With her app Smash, Kesha can be whoever she wants – even a tech CEO

techcrunch.com Amanda Silberling 2025-07-20 13:00:00

Kesha – yes, brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack Kesha – is now a startup founder. But if you think her journey from raunchy pop star to CEO is unexpected, then you haven’t been paying attention. Kesha has always embraced contradictions. She exploded onto the pop scene in 2010 with irreverent ear candy like “Blah Blah Blah” and “TiK ToK,” stylizing her name with a dollar sign despite throwing shade at the egregious wealth of Hollywood. She didn’t let people dismiss her as a one-dimensional, gl

Row Polymorphic Programming

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-07-17 01:50:31

Sometimes, especially when dealing with business logic, we have to deal with data that comes in from the real world, or elsewhere, naturally very messily typed, leading to nasty type signatures and messes of macros or code generation to build data structures from a schema. Row polymorphism can help us by abstracting over the fields contained in a record type in the type signature, letting us define records based on data, concatenate records together, and define functions that are generic across

Nothing’s Headphone 1 Copied the AirPods Max’s Dumbest Accessory, and Now I Actually Need One

Apple’s AirPods Max are iconic for lots of reasons. Firstly, it’s Apple, so they have just a teensy bit of name-brand recognition. Secondly, there’s the sound—Apple’s over-ear headphones might look a little boring, but they sound consistently great. Good enough to actually make a $550 price tag work. There’s also a third iconic aspect, though this one may be notable for the wrong reasons. If you guessed the “iBra” carrying case, congratulations, you win a free ticket to tech nerd jail. As iconi
