I've developed myself a minimal alternative at https://meetup.events when I was not allowed to run my Elm Study Group at meetup.com. It doesn't even have means to create events yet, but if you're interested in dev

Yes, frustration of people going through previous versions is definitely a thing! Let's recall not only the infamous drop of JS FFI (for Ports), but also things like ditching custom operators. Let's see how >0.19 will go.

by k_bx 7y ago
Why exactly? Elm 0.19 is out on August 2018, and the only thing that's expected is 0.19.1 which barely changes anything (doesn't break any api). Seems like 0.19 is quite settled at this point.

I wonder how hard would it be to reuse the iPad as external monitor for the rPi..

Yeah, tell that to all my friends who had to leave the Crimea. "Voting" after the Russian armed forces had been brought is not significant.

I just stopped using languages that require a "framework" or "development server" with monster json/yaml configurations to run a web server. In Haskell, a change from http to https is switching from warp.run to warp

Is generating localhost certs and then accepting them in your browser once is that hard? openssl genrsa -out key.pem 2048 openssl req -new -key key.pem -out certificate.csr openssl x509 -req -in certificate.csr -signkey key.pem -out certifi

I wonder, can it in theory be plugged in iPad and use it as a power source and external monitor somehow ? That would finally make iPad able of running Linux. I'd be able to practice my Agda on it, for example.

File named TAGS generated from hasktags (in case of Haskell) that gives you an easy way to "jump to definition" from Emacs or other editors. Good way to navigate codebases even if you don't know how to build them.

I disagree about lens. My new projects don't use them in main code-base and it was a great decision: - TAGS work like a charm to access field definitions - compile times are ok Of course, if library's API needs lens, they're

Thanks! Also, just checked, Ubuntu's United Kingdom locale uses Metric system actually, no idea why was I thinking it'd be Imperial before.

Great idea, and I'd be more interested in EU English Locale. I'm Ukrainian, and whenever I choose to have an English UI, I have a problem because U.S. and GB are using a non-metric system. Canadian locale works, but it would be ni

Tremendous effort on a very complicated piece of software. I wish Firefox would also catch up on less complicated but needed so greatly features which are present in other browsers, like filling out credit card info and autocomplete=email i

Good point! Let's not forget that, unlike the old days, it's kind of a standard to require redundancy and load-balancing from day 1, so not fitting machine's RAM hurts even more.

Yeah, but it would essentially still be more of a "string id" rather than a URL, e.g. you can just make your ID to look like "person-12345" and "pet-52435" without tying it to URL. Showing as valid URL can be a

Well, HTML is one example of general-purpose UI framework that's separate from JavaScript in a way that lets you replace JS with something else. Why can't something similar be done for Flutter components? There's an example o

I wish Google would develop protocols instead of frameworks, and only then put Dart (and others) on top. This way people would be able to choose their language on top, e.g. I'd love to use Elm, for one. No runtime errors, no mutability

Web Components are an ideal complement to pure statically typed languages like Elm, where it's a bit of a hassle to implement simple, isolated components. An example would be: a text paragraph which has "read more" button, wh
