I was wondering what happens if you skip the SNI bit and just rely on the Host header in the data. Does that work?

I get my X1 Extreme on Sunday -- had to order through a friend in the UK because the price in Thailand is nearly 2 times the UK one and in any case nobody has one. Been a big fan of the thinkpads for 20 years. All of them very solid machine

I think the closest you can get is something like: class odd {...}; class even {...}; std::variant<odd, even> p(int a) { if (a&1) return odd{a}; else return even{a}; } Now which of `even` or `

We're experimenting with Mermaid diagrams < https://mermaidjs.github.io/> in our source code. How does that come across?

What is the observable effect then? I can really only think of two: A particular performance characteristic, or that modifications of shared tails in lists are observable across lists. Is this latter that is the problem?

Lambdas have an un-utterable type, so the addition of a template like mechanism in their arguments is something the compiler can do behind the scenes and it all just works. Look for "generic" in this page < https://en

The auto there works like a templated function would (except it's anonymous as you'd expect from a lambda).

Ah, that's really interesting. This one only has a single namespace, but the one I simplified it from actually has two. I guess that makes that one a Lisp 2 :-)

Follow the link to the Gist < https://gist.github.com/KayEss/45a2e88675832228f57e2d598afc0... and your code editor should give you the comment folding you want.

Yeah, it's deliberately simplified in order to keep things short and sweet. Maybe I'll write some more posts that extend this into a real language and then these things will come out. I really wanted to show that core part of a pr

Part of the motivation for writing this up is to explain internally about a DSL used for testing web APIs, for example: < https://github.com/KayEss/fostgres/blob/master/Example/films... I expect w

The word "revolution" is probably the most deeply ironic one in the whole of the English language. You fight and die to overthrow the oppressor only to end up back where you started.

The thing I disliked about it is that the APIs were very ugly. We ended up building our own tool that allows for much nicer APIs to be built: < https://github.com/KayEss/fostgres>

With the instance types they're using the migration isn't really an option because the point of the i3 instances is the locally attached NVMe SSD disks where the database files are.

And then some idiots do a referendum and the state ends up voting itself out of the union?

That depends on the nature of the program. We use error and critical for server software. If there is a protocol violation on a particular connection, log an error and drop the connection, but otherwise continues. If the `accept` system cal

Useful when you have a lambda that needs to call itself, but the language doesn't bind the name until after the lambda is parsed (so you can't call by name). This happens in a few languages I think, C++ and C# for sure.

I've been playing around with a slightly different non-OO approach. The use of sum and product types taken more from functional programming. You can see some of the results here: < https://github.com/KayEss/AnimR

I don't think that is what the article is arguing for. There it would be more akin to "absolutely limited to" as they don't want anything outside of the examples. Unfortunately for them the examples are still open enough

Here in Bangkok the size of the (already legendary) traffic jams is certainly a great proxy for the economy as a whole.

And "an ewt" became "a newt", so it goes both ways.
