> The fact that the Rust project resists standardizing too early — which could lead to being stuck with a bad design — is in my opinion one of its virtues. I think the same way, and was enthusiastic of async Rust at the beginning, but ri

IMO it is, and usually the benefits of async Rust aren't that great for simple projects. To me the biggest annoyances is fractured nature of async libraries, you have to choose runtime and then the libraries. Tokio or async-std? They a

I use Goaccess too for simple things, but I've found that it's not really suitable if you want to compare stats of different months or years, or look into specific week. This is because goaccess aggregates reports to single HTML f

I tried that too, but couldn't stick to it, I don't remember why. Maybe I should try again.

I have Ergodox Ez, it looks like this one is slightly updated version. Pinky row is lowered (which I think is an advantage, I have wondered for a long time why the pinky row is too high in EZ.). It has Bluetooth which I would prefer. It has

Backups is of course required. I was talking about Ransomware which also enters your password database and steals the passwords in order to do more harm. With YubiKey you can make the GPG private key on offline machine and upload it to Yubi

Using single file for single password entry is very good idea. It's far better than any tools that opens the whole password database at once (KeePass, LastPass, Bitwarden etc). Reason is that you can use e.g. YubiKey to unlock individu

Interesting to find this here, if someone else haven't followed Python3, there is also NamedTuple which for all purposes is like immutable record: from typing import NamedTuple class Coord(NamedTuple): x: int

I know, I still use Windows for the time being. However there are still cases where it isn't as good as batch programs. Like Windows' task scheduler, you can't add PowerShell script to task scheduler without command prompt ap

PowerShell grew up in Windows world, and largely has stayed there. If you are not Windows sysadmin, there is high likelihood you have never ended up on a server with PowerShell installed. I have ~200 server credentials in my password manage

These days though having single woff2 file goes far enough. I have noticed that these auto-optimizing fonts are usually more headache than worth it. E.g. many time fonts from Adobe's TypeKit has different baseline in Google Chrome and

I have four G604 mouses. On three of them middle button broke about 6 - 9 months in use. I got two mouses "for free", as I was not required to send the old ones back and they just sent me new ones from warranty. It's remarkab

Given that VSCode is built in TypeScript, and it existed primarily for JS/TS in the beginning this is expected. You don't get whole lot of more from JetBrains/Fleet in that case. Usually though JetBrains' editor is used

The hate should be directed at SQL builder part of most ORMs. Which gets complicated pretty quickly, and it's like learning a new language when SQL works usually much better. If you write your SQL, and some tool, like code generation,

In WordPress the string concatenation in SQL is normal, even on the very first example: $results = $wpdb->get_results( "SELECT * FROM {$wpdb->prefix}options WHERE option_id = 1", OBJECT ); This is because the databa

Sysadmin of four campuses sounds like a job that requires more than one sysadmin. Being a sysadmin is pretty much like herding the sheep, it's 24/7 job. Something breaks in christmas eve, you have to fix it. Something breaks in th

Would it be possible to mimick dynamic types just be renaming subsequent references? E.g. foo = "test string" print(foo) foo = 5 print(foo) Would compile as: foo = "test string" print(foo)

I agree 100%. So much so, that I think every professional language should have it. Every tab, newline and space one has to do manually is lost effort. It still amazes me that C# doesn't have good opinionated formatter. It has lot of

Since we are talking about C# and F# here, I wish F# was completely transformable to C# and backwards. Currently the F# has some pains in .NET ecosystem. The new C# Source Generators can't work in F# because they generate C# code. F# d

What kind of problems? Technical problems, to get it running at all? Or some taste related things. I'm more worried I don't like the font rendering because I'm so used to ClearType, even though I can run Windows 2x mode as I

Yeah I was a bit sloppy when I wrote my answer. With GraphQL you can mimick tagged unions by giving each branch an object type. I actully wrote just few days ago about how cool it would be if TypeScript-like language too had tags: https:&#

by Ciantic 5y ago
That's right. This is about the language too, if Go doesn't have pattern matching, using sum types (or tagged unions) is a bit gnarly. This is the reason for instance in C# Hot Chocolate GraphQL library the newly proposed return t

I don't know do you follow C# these days, but they have source generators now. [1] Only rule is that it can't modify existing code, but add more. This way they won't break the intellisense etc. But you probably want hygienic

You are not the only one. But even if you find a library for YAML AST transformations for your language. What ever other language uses your YAML probably doesn't have it. E.g. I tried exactly the same thing, and it was quiet difficult
