Slightly offtopic: the author says the background of https://hisham.hm/htop/ shows live statistics, that's not the case as far as I can tell, just 4 pre-recorded images shown successively. Ontopic: Quite impressiv

The test files are coupled tightly to the implementation. He says it himself that when he wants to restructure things new tests have to be generated. It seems clumsy, but I don't have strong negative feelings on it.

This is common in Haskell as well using `newtype`. You can have type aliases like type A = B but you can use the following function with a B: f :: A -> _ whereas newtype EscapedString = EscapedString String f' ::

How php is handled by Homebrew has changed last year. Now you do brew install php@7.1 It was my understanding that if you wanted in your PATH you just did `brew link --force php@7.1`. That's not possible anymore? (Since MacOS provides

To some extent this sounds like Spotify. I have been told it's basically Iframes stitched together, and each frame is owned by a team [0] , I do think Spotify has some better auth communication though. 0: https://www.quora.c

Previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12380671 There were some high profile sites affected by this by the way, I think it was Instagram where it actually went wrong.

Interesting read! It however does not shock me. That episode is, with your context, as much about truth for them (radiolab, living in US and trying to understand how they could produce chemical weapons) as about the truth of the Hmong. What

If I understand it correctly it's actually from 1992. As for Applescript: how precise can we get with it actually? I think when applications use native toolkits Applescript can figure quite much out on its own, but with custom elements

I have a bad memory, so I would not remember this happening. Do you have an example? Also: why would they do that? If they already have the footage, and it is 'impressive' (for the trailer), why NOT put it in the movie?

Does anyone know why such a "joke proposal" (as stated by the author itself) was chosen for pretty significant projects like pip and cargo? (edit: I tried to say it began as something small and personal) (Well, I guess there&#x27

They certainly introduce nice concepts in TypeScript, I love how they can seem to fit it all in so fast, there's lots of tricky edge-cases. Dependently typed languages like Agda and Coq can do the conditional types, as typelevel comput

For what it's worth, I also seem to have sqlserver installed because of Visual Studio, but I have no SQLEXPRESS process (checked in services.msc). Perhaps they did change how this works by default since 2016/03/08
