   I think I have aphantasia, and there's two interesting things about this to me. One, I couldn't tell you what sound a ball makes when it bounces on a table. I've never thought about absence of other senses but, thinking about

   This is interesting because they've apparently made a couple thousand dollars reporting things to other companies. Is it just a case of a broken clock being right twice a day? Seems like a terrible use of everyone's time and money

   Wow, thank you (and the other person that pointed this out to me). That's madness.

   You and someone else pointed this out. I only use GitHub-org actions, and I just thought that surely there would be a "one version to rule them all" type rule.. how else can you audit things? I've never seen anything recommen

    Aren't GitHub action "packages" designate by a single major version? Something like checkout@v4, for example. I thought that that designated a single release as v4 which will not be updated? I'm quite possibly wrong, sin

    This isn't new - Thompson warned us 40 years ago (and I believe others before him) in his Reflections on Trusting Trust paper. It's something I've been thinking about lately because I was diving into a lot of discussion from

    It's always been shocking to me that the way people run CI/CD is just listing a random repository on GitHub. I know they're auditable and you pin versions, but it's crazy to me that the recommended way to ssh to a server

    As a preamble, the discussion of versioning is difficult since it's abstract; this is difficult to discuss in general. > You should never reuse the revisions. If you launch a major version, then it means you only support r5 onwards.

    I forgot to mention, the typical situation for these things for added elements is to add `_ex` or the like, which is not a great solution. You can see this in various places in Erlang, especially around erl_interface and related aspects. On

    Some initial concerns when thinking about this: - Understanding how it expands the surface area of both the API and discussion of a struct (and thus also libraries and dependencies of the librar{y,ies}). Now you don't need to ask someo

    I think the history, causes, and goals here are getting a bit wobbly. Ryan has been outspoken about what he thinks he did wrong with Node and why he decided to make Deno. I'm obviously not him, so I can't speak much about all of t

    I did make a mistake. Thanks for pointing that out. However, the point that deno is npm compatible is still true, contrary to what you originally said.

    Neat. But for a relevant query, try searching for "npm" instead. 0 issues listed. Further, in the `deno_npm` repo for npm resolving by the deno cli, there are two open issues. One is a feature request, and the other is not clearly

    I'm not making any statement about LLMs here, but the counterpoint to this is that you don't need to make what film critics would overwhelmingly call a "good" movie. You need to make things that make money. I can imagine

    I agree with sulam, in that I think they're roughly equally nice to work with. Not as powerful as Erlang/Elixir, but more capable than Python. There's a decent discussion from a few years ago on hn, as well: https:/&#x2

    I think I'd call this destructuring, as opposed to patterns and matches, and Python still does it, just not in the function head. I do wish they went the opposite direction and made the feature better instead of keeping it as a weird a

    Erlang, Elixir, Swift, Rust, Python, probably some others. That list is roughly in order of how capable and useful the pattern matching is in each of those languages. Erlang was originally written in Prolog. Also, I definitely agree it&#x27
