Completely off-topic, but thank you for your work on AwesomeWM, together with all other contributors! It is a fantastic piece of software and I always use it on all my Linux installs. About maintaining wikis, that is indeed a problem. In ad

You set your OS' system theme to Dark, and the browser should pass this information on to websites.

I suppose it's a VM if it has some sort of isolation from the actual machine (for example, a virtual/bounded memory space, among other things).

Basically, VR as a platform requires a completely different input system if you want to make anything but the most basic game. Game engines by themselves fit very well with digital (buttons) and analog (sticks, triggers) inputs, but none ha

Unity currently does not even have a stable solution for multiplayer. The existing one (UNET) works but is slated for obsolecence by a new solution, but that is still very early in development, so you have to reach for third-party tools to

You're right, because Godot's GUI tooling is incredibly beyond anything Unity offers (and I say that as someone who primarily uses Unity). Unity's GUI solutions so far are plagued by terrible performance on the common usage s

Well, the Haxe compiler is written in OCaml! But yes, I do agree that the ML family is pretty barren, at least in terms of publicly-available software. It is, perhaps, the "functional programming" of functional programming! (as in

Kinda agree. I use Airtable as the CMS for my personal website, and it's actually pretty quick to whip up pages with Gatsby (or whatever floats your boat in terms of SSG), then throw it onto some hosting and tada! I even made some webh

Printed maps are printed _somewhere_, and have to follow that where's laws. Naturally, a (for example) US-printed map can draw foreign disputed borders as disputed or either side's. Now, if that same map was to be distributed in o

Way to get overly salty. ML is not just Haskell, there is OCaml and F# as other notable dialects. (and to a much more limited extent, Rust, which borrows a few features but is otherwise more traditionally C-like) The language family lends i

I have found good success with React + RxJS, in fact. They have some overlap, but with the benefit of interop outside React, and Rx is excellent at both message-passing-style events, as well as general-purpose "data binding". And

You have a looser definition of "to use" than me. Let's agree to disagree.

I am in no way the whole crowd, but having used both legacy AngularJS, React, and Angular 4+ in production for medium-sized apps, this is my main takeaway: The mental model for React is much simpler than Angular's. In React, There are

A monetary compensation was never requested, only shared rights to the TLD. AMZN was the one trying to throw materials at the issue to make it go away.

I'm still learning, but from what I gather, there's a) less of a need to deserialize things into specific concrete classes in functional languages b) it seems to be idiomatic to convert data yourself if you need custom conversions

Yes, which is where types like `Optional` come in. If you make a language where null doesn't exist by default, but still provide a standard way of indicating non-presence, you get the advantage of compile-time correctness checking. Als

You're right, sorry for breaking the format. Hopefully a mod can fix it since I'm not able to edit the post anymore. I picked that article just because it is a very concise explanation, a bit more proper for sharing, than the offi

Yes, but it is comparatively easier getting say, the result of an API's GET and pasting into a file as a sample, than manually tweaking types. At least when you're starting out or if it's a small F# program. You could even us

In financial terms, we are sure that each are paid at least 4.4k USD/mo, based on their Patreon goals. If that is the right compensation is subjective, I'm not familiar with the market rates for that level of experience.
