This explains a lot of why he's so threatened by this random POC. He's projecting onto the author the exact thing that he did.

I don't know why you're being downvoted. Decentralization is effective at limiting the effectiveness of misinformation. It's more difficult to impersonate a legitimate user in a smaller community.

Mostly propaganda; there's been a lot of scaremongering about long waitlists and "death panels" in countries with universal healthcare. And then on the political side it's just straight up corruption

You can do pseudo inline styles by just putting a <style> tag after the element which will let you use those. I think the argument is that tailwind isn't _conceptually_ different than inline styles even if there are a few minor t

The only really shocking part of this is that Artifactory is vulnerable to this. I expect developers to be lazy about build security because I've seen it over and over again at multiple companies, but Artifactory's whole purpose i

Making Haskell strict-by-default would also break the rewrite engine which is the core of Haskell's high performance with functional combinators. The whole haskell project is about allowing programmers to write code that is declarative

Email fills a different niche than secure messaging protocols though. Email has come to be used much like mail, including for legal purposes. Non-repudiation is actually a useful feature for a lot of those use-cases. Obviously the conflatio

So in the example where you're constructing HTML, you would never use strings to represent your HTML. So your template might look something like ``` P(Text(someUserText), I(someItalicized)) ``` This is essentially how React.js works; y

I used @dataclass in almost every python project I work on. It's one of the most valuable additions to the language I can think of.

The update syntax is actually more of a `.copy` method, than a property update since it returns a new object. It's actually quite nice in that respect since it's easy to update multiple fields: e{lbl = val, lbl2 = val2}

There's no real reason you can't have sum types in a relational database, this just goes back to our current crop of RDBMSs being quite old and predating the current emphasis on strong typing. I suspect a modern relational datab

This is just a difference between named and anonymous types, really. This is very similar to named functions vs lambda functions, both provide the same exact functionality but avoiding superfluous identifiers makes programming more ergonomi

This is just complaining about naming at this point. An "extension" must necessarily be extending the language with something . That something is a feature. When the GHC devs add a new feature to the language, they put it behind

Haskell doesn't have any more language extensions than other languages of its age, the only difference is that they're explicitly called out. When Python adds new string formatters or generators or async, they're just in the

Ah yes, the old "poor people just aren't as smart" myth. It's definitely their fault for not investing smartly and not the fact that they live paycheck to paycheck. Increasing inequality has nothing to do with the fact t

What's interesting is that GHC absolutely supports this already. If you manually link your projects you can use multiple versions of the same library in your project. Cabal doesn't support multiple versions of the same library.

The complaint about records is interesting because there aren't that many major languages that actually do records well. For a language of its age, it actually does records rather well. People sometimes forget that Haskell is older tha

If you're talking about the fact that you have to unbox the Maybe, that's not really related to type inference or static types but how "null" values are represented in the language. If you're talking about exhaustiv

I've deployed flow extensively and the biggest difference is that flow is horribly buggy (lots of false negatives) while typescript is mature. In theory flow's type system is stronger but it's so unreliable that 99% of the ti
