> If you look upthread, there was a mention of F# unit types. And the syntax is `3<unit>` not `3 * unit` - 1 is a scalar - 1m is a quantity - 2 * 1m "casts" 2 to a meter, but really this is just multiplying a quantity b

Since when `((1 m) m)` is a valid mathematical expression? You cannot have a unit on its own without a scalar value. It makes no sense.

Since 1min could be 61 seconds[1], yes? But assuming your comment is not a joke. You probably want to convert minutes to seconds in order to work with the same units, then add the scalar parts together. That's how you deal with differe

> 1 * time.Second * time.Second semantically reads to me as 1 second. Which is wrong, 1s * 1s = 1s². For example, the force of gravity is expressed in m/s² and describe an acceleration (m/s / s, aka a change of velocity pe

Yes, thank you for the precisions, this just make my point stronger: int64/float are very ill-suited to represent such values. And it's especially true for time units. For example, "how many seconds is one month?" does n

Do you have a link to this utility?

by linkdd 5y ago
What they're suggesting is that `time.Duration` should not be an int64. 1 second * 1 second = 1 second² 1 meter * 1 meter = 1 meter² 1 meter / 1 second = 1 m/s Those are not user errors, those are physical values.

Wait until you see people saying "exceptions are glorified goto". Basically, every statement of the form "X is broken and harmful" either don't understand X, or have read it somewhere else without giving a second th

Yes pointers are hard to get right. No, depicting it as "broken and harmful" is not ok, even with good faith reading.

Once compiled to assembly, every data is accessed via pointers. Every data structure is represented with pointers. Almost everything is a pointer. According to you, all softwares are broken and harmful? Programming languages can provide a s

This should be the default. On Linux, packages should provide the SELiunx (or whatever) rules they need, and the user should accept them or not install the package (just like permissions on Android/iOS apps). On Windows, the applicatio

Awesome library and a very good README. I usually suck at choosing colors and rely a lot on https://coolors.co/ Your library will complete my toolset to create some good looking UIs :)

The main point of the Option type (and Result) is not because it panics when you call `unwrap`. It's about all the operations you can chain with it: - and_then - ok_or_else - map - ... This allows you to chain computations

I would use Vue3 (with Pinia, vue-router and typescript). There is also the Quasar framework based on those tools which provide many components out of the box.
