Something something exception that proves the rule? I'm not familiar with QNX other than knowing that it is a an RTOS... which I imagine imposes some constraints that complicate things quite a lot?

I'd like to point out that the YT comments have some good (weird for YT, I know!) clarifications and questions about bits where she did go a bit fast or skip over things, e.g. the non-commutativity of products (in general) and such. Gr

Not just that, but the scaling problems with threads are usually massively overstated. It's true that thread switching has quite a bit more overhead, but it's been optimized a lot since the bad old days of 15+ years ago. (Plus,

Oh, how I wish we could get an RFC for that instead.

If you mean The Hacker's Diet, then yes. It's just a way of doing CICO and weight tracking (+ smoothing to avoid demotivating wild fluctuations), so yes.

Abilities are typed effects, effectively. At least, that's how I understand it. (In a less jokey way: Abilities should be thought of as capabilities, and capabilities are what enable you to do I/O, read from a DB, etc. So they are

Simon PJ glares :) For those not in the know, Simon Peyton Jones is one of the originators of Haskell, and sort-of-but-not-quite BDFL of Haskell... and he uses Comic Sans for all his presentations because it filters out people who will comp

That's true up to a point, but digital media really is different from analog media which cannot be updated dynamically. That's the difference, I think. (And, yes, more and more people are putting away the phone because they re

The newspaper at least... stops once you've read it -- so that's what an hour (or whatever) gone of your day. That's a major difference, at least.

Several test frameworks implement Law Testing which will test your instances for lawfulness as long as you can generate instances of your data structures. E.g. https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hedgehog-classes . So

Green is not rusty enough. Is Green even a memory safe language? (The whole arc of DHMIS is crazy... but similar for the Spooooons.)

Electron apps interface with Electron-the-platform (and have no direct knowledge of Wayland) so it doesn't seem to make much sense to single that out?

For most applications it's usually enough that the toolkit (GTK, Qt, whatever) supports it. However, Firefox probably does some stuff 'outside' what GTK provides, so it needs to implement those bits itself. I'm guessing
