Heh, I was actually alluding to C++ with the pattern matching thing. Std::variant<> is actually a bona fide sum type, but using it is horrendous because of the lack of pattern matching. You can use the the "cppreference overloade

Yes, but it's also much more likely to result in a run-time failure. I'm not talking about memory safety here -- just the fact that Rust has (Algebraic Data)/Sum Types[1]. Of course these kind of "want" pattern ma

It was an incredible comedic performance. (By his co-stars too, btw, but he carried a lot of the film, I felt.). Also an overall very funny movie. I'm not sure exactly how much of Graham Norton is scripted, but he's had at least

This actually sounds very close to my personal preference -- I just configure Quod Libet to only show full path and the "search everything" functionality lets me just search for the album name and have everything match + Ctrl+A +

No idea what Audacious is doing for you (never used it), but I find that Quod Libet is somewhat in the WinAMP tradition (IIRC) in that it's pretty simple: It has a "library", "queue" and you can basically configure

Disclaimer: I'm not a historian nor a philosopher, though I do wonder (I like to think, at least) deeply about these things. I've also only just read the first two (three?) chapters so far, so this may be way to soon to opine. Sti

It may, but if your customer can't tolerate/afford 5-10 minutes of downtime you're already into "big league" territory. I could see a case if you're rolling out gradually, but with only 3-5 machines you're

That's a really good observation and I agree. I sometimes have to pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming when I see that there are actually pretty affordable machines with these insane amounts of RAM. (I think the first machin

It's a really bizarre situation that BitTorrent is actually the most convenient consumption mechanism if you want a lot of diverse, specific or old content. All you have to do is be behind the "new releases" by a month or t

I may be a bit of an old fart, but this is the exact reasoning behind my decision to never go with "distributed X" if there's a "single-machine X" where you can just vertically scale. If you can afford 3-5 machines&

I don't think that's what the poster meant. I think it was probably more along the lines of how you experience e.g. 'light' vs. what it actually is : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjHJ7FmV0M4 (T

I'm not sure about whether this particular problem has anything to do with fat jars, but there a couple of really big annoyances with fat jars which have bitten me occasionally: * If you flatten the classpath completely when building t

Fat jars are evil, but there's no need for Docker: Just collect the dependency jars in a lib/ (or whatever) folder and explicitly give them on the classpath when running the 'java' executable. We use the sbt 'pack&#

AFAIUI: "Void -> a" means that the function cannot be called , because there no way to conjure a Void value. In Haskell, you can do it by (ab)using 'undefined', but that's kind of cheating. However, if you'
