Highly doubt? We’re in the midst of the biggest cultural clash in the US since the civil war, where the midwest is flanked on both sides of the country by liberal states/cities. There’s no question that developer isn’t doing this only

They should just make it look like a tornado, honestly. Then it makes more sense. “We’re constantly bombarded with tornados in OK, and this serves as a monument and reminder of the seriousness of that,” said developer, now actually making a

Maybe it’s an intentional “middle finger” to the other US cities. Why else would you choose OKC for the tallest skyscraper? Literal dick measuring contest.

Looks like there’s an update https://dpldocs.info/this-week-in-d/Blog.Posted_2024_01_08.h... and they’ve gotten some interest. Personally, I think it’d have been more fun if they named it ‘Died’ — you get the benefits

That answered my question. Chuck Norris is a martial artist that had an acting career. He got a second wind of fame when he became a meme… Chuck Norris Facts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Norris_facts

All of Citus is AGPL, so either MSFT bought it like that, or it made it like that. Either way, embracing the AGPL was not on my MSFT bingo card.

How far we’ve come for MSFT to have a project (Citus, which Hydra forks from) released under the AGPL.

You can definitely implement language features poorly and in hard to maintain, “against the grain” ways in most languages. Lots of languages support multiple ways, sometimes, of doing so!

We went in a circle. The article does this. The parent comment says “use sum types.” I said “most languages don’t have direct support” and now you’re repeating the article.

My favorite recent channel is called “Boring Sailing,” which the algorithm served up, but has very few subscribers. It’s actually—truly—been boring to watch, at times, but you have to root for him! “Wilding sailing,” on the other hand, is a

Just what we need, more kooks on Wavestorms in the water! (Explanation for non-surf adjacent folks: kook is a “n00b” and Wavestorm is a brand of foam boards that you used to be able to buy at Costco for $99 or whatever. Forget the fact that

I work with people who write “scripts” in Go. Pretty sure these terms were once important—a program was assembled. A script was a set of things you’d otherwise do by hand (eg run these 30 commands). “Scripting languages” that created more a

Why do you believe Reddit (or Twitter) knows less about its users? Users on Reddit literally self select into interest groups by visiting, (and with 100% confidence) subscribing to a subreddit. Someone not interested in surfing is not going

Ugh. I meant `;` is unquote-splicing, which is an operator within a quasiquote. Sorry for my brain fart.

by apgwoz 3y ago
None of these options lift the `;` into something I have to parse as code, not documentation, so you’re all good! :)
