Did you read the entire comment? The core idea of functional programming is pure functions (given the same outputs, the output is always the same). Nix applies that to building systems.

Does this mean that every time the user types something, they have to wait a roundtrip from the server for completion? Wouldn't this make this useless for average-to-fast typers? Htmx sounds like a lovely idea, but doesn't it intr

Because it's a 50-year old convention, and there doesn't seem to be a compelling reason for ignoring it. The language then uses `is` for equality, including numbers. It's just weird, especially given they're using old-fa

Ruff is amazing. I recommend turning on the [I]import rules as a replacement of isort and running `ruff check --fix`. Run it with black for best results. It also has a very good LSP that complements pyright in my neovim setup. There's

IME, 1440p at 27" looks really bad if you're used to 4K at 150% (effectively 1440p). I had to buy a new monitor and went with a 1440p to save money, but returned it and got the 4K. It's significantly better.

Rust restricts what you can do when it can't reason about your code. Some developers don't like those restrictions and feel like they're "fighting the borrow checker". Others don't think it's worth it and
