I have a brick house and a basement, and I have no radon mitigation system, and I live in an area where radon is generally a concern (southeast Michigan.) Over the last couple years I've had some AirThings sensors collecting data. Last

Yes, this is all true. However, this approach has more downsides than just nil and cumbersome syntax imo. It takes more memory and pointer-chasing than "proper" sum types would require, and while you can "seal" the type,

Basically, anything that makes it possible to do an Etiher/Result type blows the whole damn thing up. It calls everything into question, e.g. whether multiple returns really makes sense. It's kind of a shame, because I would reall

Maybe, but I think focusing on concurrency is the wrong idea. I think Go + sum types could be good. Maybe . But, honestly, it's hard to say for sure. First-order effects are great: we have sum types and can use them to model problems.

Lack of sum types is probably one of the worst things about working in Go, and I think it is a much bigger problem than the lack of generics ever was. Sadly, though, I don't think you can really just bolt sum types onto an already comp

I think SVG filters are actually all raster effects, which is why WebRender supposedly can accelerate SVG filters... though if it does, I seem to be hitting cases that force it to fall back. Maybe it doesn't like SMIL animations.

I've noticed this too. That said, it's not really terribly unusual to actually just receive someone else's mail. I've gotten mail that was meant to go to my neighbors a number of times. So I reckon that an issue like t

I have played around with using SVG effects as they are stunningly powerful, but I wouldn't recommend deploying them for too much: even though apparently Firefox does some level of GPU acceleration for SVG filter graphs, in practice

Well, do you think this is a good state of affairs? On one hand, phones are pretty accessible devices, on the other hand there are many aspects of phones that are objectively pretty terrible for consumers (talking about cost and difficulty

That's not even true. You can use typical Linux software inside of a chroot, like with Termux.

I used to have one, but I don't anymore and personally I think if they ever force everyone onto new reddit I will probably just not follow reddit.com links anymore (or use a proxy that is less annoying, if those prove reliable enough.)

I don't actually use Reddit or Twitter, but I sometimes come across NSFW posts from links. I've found that old.reddit.com seems to allow you to bypass the filter(s) without needing an account. For Twitter, I tend to use the xcan

I played with it for a few seconds. As someone mentioned here, you have to go to opencut.app/projects to actually see the actual application. Most features are still just TODO, but you can at least overlay text onto video. The interf

Honestly, how many projects with "Code of Conducts" actually use or follow them? Maybe if you're a big CNCF project or something like that, but the average GitHub project just adds one because GitHub told them to. If they wer

Even though I can fathom a world where AI tools could somehow lead to reduced head count, I think this is the only reasonable interpretation right now. After all, tech companies have been beating the "downsizing due to AI" drum fo

I literally can't be as gentle as professionals are for this exact reason. That's why I'm glad most of these things are pretty robust. I have had trouble in the past because of this, usually not with small electronics. I bust

OK good point. Let's see what Amazon describes the selling point of AWS Lambda is in the original press release from 2014; in fact, so early that it's actually not even the final draft[1]. Surely it will mention something about de

It's funny how you added that part even though Amazon's own description continues in a completely different way that doesn't emphasize this at all . That's not a mistake on Amazon's part; it's not that they fo

Oh my god! This could go on forever. Having a guy named Steve manage your servers is not "serverless" by my definition, because it's not about you personally having to manage the server, it's about anyone personally

The term "serverless" is a generic PaaS marketing term to refer to managed services where you don't have to manage a server to use them, e.g. "Amazon Aurora Serverless". If you're managing CGI scripts on a tr
