Well, that's definitely a sweet-spot, but as a by-product of that, Rust is still a well-thought through language with a strong and logical type system, some very useful features for expressing domain models, etc. and a model of memory

The -ing part of a place name is Saxon, from memory, something like "ingas" meaning "people of". So, People of Dork, literally, and whatever became Dork (a person/place/event) is probably lost to historical mem

Almost due south of Dorking, down the road in Horsham. The small town was the first thing I thought of on seeing this title. I'd imagine this area actually has a fair few HNers, as it's in the tech catchment area for London, Readi

Serde is very strong indeed (although not the easiest to understand, this would have been useful when I implemented a Serde library for [de]serialising with the AWS DynamoDB AttributeValue format). That said, I've always had a slight p

Sigh. No. It's not just about one incidence of some mistakenly pedantic comments, as has been made clear by many, many people. It's a pattern of behaviour over years combined with no interest in listening to other people or accept

I spent quite a lot of time writing Typescript using Fluture and a few other libraries a while ago. Coming from a functional background, combinators + futures actually feels quite natural to me, so I looked at the examples of the "bad&

Ok, I see you've added some text in terms of "Buy your copy to read more" which is a start (although it's probably too far from the email capture for people to associate them, and it doesn't stand out from the rest

Just a quick supportive comment on this - it's a really nice piece of writing, introducing a topic which tends to cause people to glaze over, and doing it in a very approachable and easy to pick up way - and that takes some skill and e

Yes, you could potentially do something like that. A cache is only in essence "I keep a local store, if someone asks for something which is already in the local store, I give them that - if not, I go and get it, put it in the local sto

Yup, also annoyed by the dark pattern. To add insult to injury, below $20, it removes the option to pay with a card, and only allows bitcoin - interesting approach to tax, perhaps! Whatever the reason, I don't use bitcoin, and even if

I... get where you're coming from here, but I'm not sure I'm going to agree. Sure, yes, to some extent you can go all the way to Descartes and believe nothing but your own existence. But back to those works in C minor - there

It's not really a difference of opinion though is it? Whether the day is nice or not is a matter of opinion. Whether this is a tasty meal is a matter of opinion. Whether anyone else wrote works in C minor is a matter of fact - or not,

So, as a UK resident, I'm torn here. On the one hand, many people would absolutely benefit from these things. It is appalling in our society how many people suffer from something as ostensibly simple as severe loneliness, which can cau

From a relatively short glance, I don't see any mention of what problem this is trying to solve. Data interchange? Storage? Consumption/production? I see some excitingly magical looking type "inference" happening though.

Hey, it's ok, you can both be wrong :) 1979/80 would both put you in Gen X as a birth year ('61-'81, although Harvard for some reason thinks '64-'84 - either way, bad luck, Coupland novel it is).

It doesn't have that flaw! But that's probably partly because it doesn't have typeclasses, so Foldable/Traversable aren't possible in the same way...

I'm not saying they're the same thing - I'm pointing out that as risk increases, you add safety features. Drivers in certain situations (racing, for example) do wear helmets, as the risk is now judged to be sufficient. A 10mp

Yes, madness. Given expected likelihood/severity of potential accidents, one seems more worthwhile than the other. In situations where the risks are raised for some reason, you will find that people do wear helmets. I will never, for e

In which case yes, just a very misinformed original author. Shattering, cracking, etc. are all known, planned features of a helmet impact - anything which can absorb energy in the helmet and not the head is a good thing (with some obvious c

Also, (can't read the article but assuming some kind of context), even if the styro compressed rather than shattering - that's still energy being used for something which isn't cracking your skull. It still seems like it woul

I hope you don't get downvoted, those seems like reasonable questions. I'm part of the F# community I guess, so I suppose I could try and answer! I'm not sure the F# community is the same as the broader .NET community. I thin

Oh yes, exactly! That was the note I was referring to obliquely. They're right, in a technical sense, but "wrong" (subjectively in some cases) when it comes to designing tools that work with URI Templates... It's absolut

Hah, and in the week after I wrote parsers, renderers etc. for URI Templates... Anyway, they're cool, but I wish to <deity of choice> that they were actually reversible. They so nearly are, but they buggered it up with Level 4

Impressive, that took three days last time. [Apologies in advance, I have read the FAQ, I am aware of the meta-culture regarding one-liners, but I failed to restrain myself anyway. My profuse apologies to anyone upset or offended.]

My first thought on this was "wow, that name couldn't clash any more with the ethos of ind.ie". I would hope they'd think about changing it, as it's really a bit insensitive at the least.

It's always great to hear about people finding it and liking it! Even better is that, in a meaningful way, it's not "a MS language" really now - it's fully open source, probably the best thing to happen to F# this y
