How do objects removing branching from an algorithm? It may not be there as an if-statement, but (unless I'm missing something) you'll still conceptually have a branch.

Getting a whole team to try out static typing on a language that they already know is far easier than getting a whole team to learn an entirely new language.

I'm fairly sure (but admittedly not certain) that captcha uses non-cookie and non-account based methods for identifying users, so I don't those methods would work.

As far as I'm aware they're not changing anything about which shells are installed or which executable /bin/sh points to they're just changing the default login shell for a new user, so nothing should have to chan

The point is that apple don't want to update bash because they don't want to ship software that uses GPLv3 but they also don't want to keep shipping a decade old version of bash as the default shell, they aren't doing

To be honest I feel like this is throwing the baby out with the bathwater somewhat. If you're writing a script for a system without bash you'll almost certainly know it, so you might as well just put bash in your shebang. I spent

So what about the "and similar approaches" part of your comment? The author seems to have only minor issues with Poetry (for example) and I agree with him, it fixes or provides simple workarounds for all the major pain points of P

How would you check them at compile time without using dependent types (at least it doesn't look to me like these are dependent types)?

Why would a set have to be a tree? In fact would expect trees to be the less common way to implement sets (I would expect hash tables to be more common).

That's fair, but in practical terms how often are you going to come across a problem like this when you're values aren't hashable? Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but I feel like the kind of types that aren't h

My rule has always been that if you're going to write a single line if-statement it should actually be a single line if-statement, i.e. no line break between the condition and the curly bracket.

To be fair it's not really worth setting up a blog just for a single post, and OP probably didn't know about things like threadreaderapp.
