If you feel that strongly about it, why not write the issue description yourself?

It doesn't force that, but it gives them an out. They can type "fix: frobnicator bug" and think they've written a good commit message because it meets the standard.

It required reading comprehension skills. It is simply a fact that most commits are small - that is the nature of that kind of project. I looked at the commit history. It still takes a lot of work and it is valuable, but it has very differe

How does typing “fix:” or “feat:” get you a step closer to being thoughtful?
335.
by jeremyjh 5mo ago
Exactly. People latch onto these perfunctory standards because it’s easier than understanding and clearly communicating the work they’ve done.

Thanks for your work on nixpkgs but I think that shapes your perspective quite a lot - its a very different project from Ladybird. Not to belittle your contributions there but the majority of commits there are a few lines of code and much o

Yes, I have lost faith in some open source project maintainers that are doing this. There is an open source platform we've used for years at work (we use the paid Enterprise version of it) that introduced some pretty grotesque security

Qualia are the inside view of sensory data and reward signals. Think about it from an evolutionary perspective: Animals that step into a lava flow or forest fire don't reproduce. Eventually some evolve the ability to detect intense hea

Yes, and this is going to hurt everyone. If everyone knows that you can skate through a college degree without doing any work, it is not going to have much value as a credential.

So you prefer language communities where libraries have a constant stream of fixes, new breaking change releases every six months and entirely new framework ecosystems ascending every three years?

Elixir predates set-theoretic types. Simon Marlow took a solid crack at typed Erlang 30+ years ago and couldn’t make it work and preserve what Erlang is. 9 years later Success Typings was published and Dialyzer happened. Not the best, but f

I can’t swear I’ve never seen that claim - but I can’t remember seeing it if I ever did and certainly it would be a tiny minority position. The actual con arguments are basically “it is nice but has costs, maybe those don’t all get a good r

I think GP means it is more vulnerable now.

Its not just one issue they mishandled. It is a pattern. I think this makes sense if you believe long-term security requires leadership change at MSRC. https://doublepulsar.com/microsofts-stance-on-zero-day-explo...

Its even better to have a government pension that sends checks to your address as long as you are alive.

Why would you pay 10s of thousands of dollars to get a credential everyone knows is meaningless? The first ChatGPT grads are just now entering the workforce. I have a son entering his junior year of high school. Who knows if a degree will b

I've been both types on and off and on for my whole career. At times, very engrossed in the technology itself - but I got started because I needed tools for my job that didn't exist so I learned how to build them. I've also d

No. It says the direct payments created other funding gaps that caused further delays that added costs, but provides no information about what those were, much less any evidence that they are due only to this lawsuit.

Wouldn't you expect to see that reflected in outcomes? TFA mentions that the only studied country with more avoidable mortality than the US was Mexico. If you aren't seeing it, maybe its not as big a problem as all the people who

Uber sold dollars for $0.75 until their competition was destroyed, and then they raised their prices.

Right, they have no knowledge and yet they can get shit done that is good enough for many use cases. That is precisely the point.

No, they are saying that the frameworks and tools discussed in TFA have made it look coherent. For the most part we have not worried about compatibility for a decade. All abstractions leak a bit but in practice it holds up quite well, well

That is not the only reason to have an IO monad. PureScript and Idris are both strict languages that still reify IO effects. Its still useful to know which functions are pure.

by jeremyjh 5mo ago
You should try actually doing some Haskell programming. There are some anti-patterns but the RIO pattern is very coherent and flexible. One IO base monad, one readerT that holds an IORef that gives you access to every other effect you need.

There is still time man. Read a book. The public libraries are still free, thanks to liberals.

Why is the number of software engineers a limiting factor? I think what matters is the number of people who want custom software. Or cheap customer service. Or cheap financial analysis. Or cheap...

There are certainly domains where AI is not so effective, but at this point I would agree that at least in terms of web development if you can't get effective results from agents at this point it is a skill issue. That skill can be lea
