Not at all unusual - though I think of it as more common in Judaism, where the cultural heritage is much more important than the religion for many people.

Just another person here saying that this is indeed what friends are for, and isn't manipulative in whatever negative sense usually applies - in case enough people saying it will eventually convince the monkey brain. Consider reading _

Unrelated soundbite by Peter Norvig: "Design patterns are bug reports against your programming language.".

Git submodules are indeed a thing, and they're even supported by the `git` CLI, but I'm not sure I would go so far as to say that they're a first-class feature of Git :P

Have you tried VS2022, which is basically a complete rewrite? In my limited experience, it's dramatically better than VS2019.

F# allows you to put DUs on the stack, with `[<Stack>]`, for what it's worth.

ahem Have you considered F#, which could hardly be accused of being enterprisey?

I feel like this is supposed to be an insult, but I really don't know what the difference is between "someone wants me to do something for them" and "someone wants me to do something for them in a shop". There are p

I found Hofstadter's _Le Ton beau de Marot_ fascinating, and also almost nobody has even heard of it!

Use the asynchronous channel to set up a synchronous channel over a medium that's actually designed for it, then!

I'm regularly on a support rota as first-line triage for things which have just started going wrong. I need to be interrupted for important things, but I would strongly prefer not to be interrupted for unimportant things, because und

If you just want a synchronous conversation per se, ask a #social channel if anyone's around for a real-time chat. If you want to have a specific synchronous conversation with someone (one-off or regularly), schedule it; this is what c

Not sure what your question means. One presumes that the EU's goal here is the obvious one, namely to make trade increasingly harder for Russia until they stop invading other countries. To "impose a sanction" in this context

In my (rather limited) experience, the poor specification of Pulumi's libraries is almost entirely down to the fact that they are exposing equally poorly specified functionality from cloud providers.

Once you've got a reliable portable clock, you can synchronise lots of them in the same place and then move them. Harrison had done this by 1750 (with clocks that supposedly drifted by only a few seconds per day, even after sea travel)

The installer is absolutely first rate, but I would strongly recommend asking for help at discourse.nixos.org as soon as you start getting stuck (which will definitely happen, probably rather early).

Nickel Is Coming! https://github.com/tweag/nickel , e.g. https://github.com/tweag/nickel/blob/master/examples/polymor... . Looks really exciting to me!

Yes. (Docs at https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/new-cli/nix3... .) Although it won't "throw it away" in the sense of uninstalling it; it's just that when you exit th

I'm sure you already know this, but GP probably doesn't: I love https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_lifting for very many reasons. 1. "Stellar husbandry". That phrase alone is worth the price of admi

Try explaining semiconductors to an Ancient Roman - they'd have exactly the same objection! You can't understand the words until you understand the objects they're describing, and you can't get that understanding just by

I claim that "wolf-fencing" appears to be Haskell-specific for the same reason that "monad" does a good job of appearing to be Haskell-specific. It's because the Haskell community is uniquely very ready to adopt

They did know how to pronounce letters of their alphabet, though. "O-micron", as opposed to "O-mega".

That's like saying "just use Typescript" when anyone complains about Javascript. The world is drowning in Javascript; it is work to migrate any given instance of Javascript; we are not drowning in labour; so it won't get

This makes sense for semantic reasons though. If you accidentally return a `number` when you returned a `string` in some earlier branch, Typescript will happily unify them and now your function silently returns `string | number`. The lintin

Guess what - the world is in fact full of such toolchains, many of which are in very widespread use!
