"isomorphic in the structures they produce" That's a function: anything -> text. It doesn't mean anything. EDIT: Also, I typo'd Shall for Dhall. My bad.

Right, for explicitly recording a timestamp without having to refer to a historical time zone database it would seem to make a tiny bit of sense... but recording the actual time zone would work just as well for historical data and future

After learning some more about the practicalities of time/date throughout my career, it always seemed a bit odd to me to even support the +/- thing... but maybe I'm missing something. My reasoning is: If it's a timestamp

Floats? What does R=255.0, etc. mean when the other example has R=1.0? Precision has nothing to do with it, the scale isn't even defined... which was my point.

Java-the-language/JVM has picked up pace hugely in the last few years, but Java-the-ecosystem tends to lag quite severely. Not least because these systems tend to be entrenched systems that move quite a lot of money around... or are hi

The fact that X doesn't solve all security problems doesn't mean that X doesn't eliminate a whole class of problems. Memory safety problems are still a sizable proportion of the CVEs associated with C and C++ programs. > T

We can pretty much also conclude (given data on CVEs, etc.) that -- in practice -- programmers either aren't following that process or it doesn't have enough of an impact to actually get rid of memory errors of the kind Rust prote

How can you say that and not link it? https://ninja-muffin24.itch.io/funkin (Or so Google suggests) EDIT: The game seems to be super-loud by default and apparently I can't play any music games other than Guitar Hero. Y

I'm going to suggest a hypothetical. Let's ignore any personality test specifics just to generalize. Ok, so I have a candidate for a position, who shows +5% to "conscientiousness". What does that mean, practically, for m

It's worse than a waste of time. It's harmful.

Thank you for confirming my suspicions :).

I don't understand this. Why would it be sending queries and redoing on a replica and sending the WAL? Just sending the WAL would seem to be sufficient, or alternatively: sending queries would be redundant if you just send the WAL an

If you can live with non-Git then Pijul[0] seems quite promising both in terms of UX, but also power relative to git. (It's probably still quite rough around the edges right now, though, it's 1.0.0-alpha). There's also Fossil

Return 0 is different from using 0 in the rest of the function body.

The color ones are not (unambiguously) equivalent, you're ignoring bit depth and assuming 8-bit color values in one of them.

One of those is not like the other. Shall is an actual programming language -- designed purely for configuration.

IME people tend to just add stuff at the bottom. Doesn't help with ordered lists, though.

I have done this as well (with Nix rather than Guix, but it doesn't matter). You do run into some friction sometimes, e.g. the UI themes from your main distro not applying properly (because paths are all wrong). It does basically work,

Maybe this would be easier if you shared your definition of 'elegant'. > Haskell is the only one that I would call elegant on this list. But we were talking about modern. Haskell is 30 years old, I would not call that modern. A

Usually, yes, it appears. Maintainers of projects are generally pretty invested in getting their software into popular distros... and so they tend to follow the patterns that would allow that. (I mean, stuff like 'where do I put the bi

Yes. I programmed in Turbo Pascal and (later on) Delphi. I am not unfamiliar with these systems.

Definitely for most cases, yes... but 'data' is still an issue (if you care about the data). NixOS has an interesting mechnanism for separating "package" upgrades from "data" upgrades, tho, so that's a sli

That's actually not a terrible point :). I do remember WordPerfect (the DOS version) being absolutely incredible... in no small part because you could "reveal codes" (or whatever the name of that feature was). I helped my dad

I think the future is probably something more NixOS-like. Now, personally, I've tried it and found it a bit wanting UX-wise (and for really niche stuff), but for providing cutting edge and the ability to roll back safely I don't
