What the deuce is an "RPA"?

That already exists, and it is in fact called unspecified behavior. Order of function argument evaluation is unspecified, for instance.

> The interesting thing here is the Undefined Behavior (UB), well... actually two UBs, thanks to which there are three possible correct answers: 11, 12 and 13. No, if you invoke undefined behavior any result at all is possible.

Yeah I guess; I'm generally not a fan of solving a problem by adding another layer of shit on top.

Pyinfra is what ansible should have been. It's straight python rather than a janky mix of yaml, templates, and bolted-on control flow primitives.

"It's possible to write <lang-X> in <lang-Y>" is a common trope, but "It's possible to write <lang-X> in Rust" is painful and borderline impossible in my experience. I don't mean this as

Can you say more about the system? A lifetime ago I was really excited about gambit (and bigloo) but I never had the chance to work with them beyond messing around here and there after work.

Deadly Rooms of Death is criminally underrated and generally unknown. Journey to Rooted Hold is personally my DRoD of choice.

It works both ways: "Yeah, let me eat 100kg of beef per day instead of 500g of broccoli to get my Vitamin C." But anyway, legumes are much more efficient source of protein than beef. I don't understand why you decided to comp

I don't know, but I have noticed that the GPS in my watch (Garmin) seems to be better than the one in my phone.

Of course, I just have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that these people are complaining about ads everywhere and value the aesthetics of the tab bar over that.

Your point is that it's ok he's untrustworthy because lots of people in power are?

I don't know, I think it's pretty embarrassing that Teams is an electron (or whatever) app. The plot on native has been lost so badly that even the fucking company that makes the OS doesn't want to deal with it.

> Firefox is painful. What exactly is painful about Firefox? It's so painful that you'd rather go without an adblocker?

Pretty much matches my experience. Trying to sell something on Craig's list or whatever is pretty hit-or-miss, whether it's $5 or $500. But make it free, and people will bang down your door to try to get it. It could be a shoebox

My favorite part about the type annotations in python is that it steers you into a sane subset of the language. I feel like it's kind of telling that python is this super dynamic language but the type annotations aren't powerful e

Lyte2D is a game engine for 2D games with a very small and tight API. It's scripted in lua and it's easy to make tiny self contained executables for Windows, Mac, Linux and the web. It lives at https://lyte2d.com and t

Yeah I love it when people start defining their own operators all over the place and give them all inscrutable names. "Dude just use the eggplant parm operator: <<=-=>>"

Is your argument that it's now someone else's problem? That it must be paid, just by someone else? Thanks, I hate it.

They're sort of different things. I think of fabric as more of a remote shell, but pyinfra is exactly analogous to ansible.

by Boxxed 9mo ago
I don't have anything insightful to add but I do want to say that after years of ansible et al, pyinfra is an absolute breath of fresh air.
