Yes! I thought of equating it with famously bad real-world poetry but it felt mean. I feel ashamed that I didn’t think of vogon poetry.

Windows has always had its own versioning conventions: historically it was a one-digit major and a two-digit minor, so windows 2.1 was 2.10 in full (its predecessor was 2.03, and it was followed by 2.11), and NT 3.5 was followed by NT 3.51.

That's a hypothesis amongst others, but it's just that, with essentially no hard evidence backing it up. And there's counter-evidence (if mostly circumstantial) in that the first known knitted artefacts are from centuries lat

It’s always going to be anecdotal. I reckon a mid size RV (say upper class B) will have 1500-2000W of solar capacity, if it’s really boxy. It’s going to have the aerodynamics of a brick. Meaning you’ll be lucky to get 1mi/kwh at highwa

That and sales, especially the old ones with dailies, you'd see a game at 90% off and you'd go "uh that looks fine I can swing $2 for it" but might never actually get around to playing it.

Python’s NewType is, confusingly, a very different thing: it’s a compile-time-only subtype of the original, rather than a Haskell-style newtype (which is an entirely separate type from its source).

by masklinn 1y ago
It’s more like adding a runtime handle to the struct. Modulo that I’m not sure any langage with a sync/async split has an “async” runtime built entirely out of sync operations. So a library can’t take a runtime for a caller and get wha

by masklinn 1y ago
You can call an async function from a function that is not async by passing in a global runtime (/ event loop). As a trivial example the main entry point in rust is never async. How’d you suppose you’d bootstrap the runtime that you’d

TFA looks things up by key, and allows pulling a subset of the dict.

No no, do forget about it: like += for lists, |= mutates “the dict”, which often makes for awkward bugs. And like += over list.extend, |= over dict.update is very little gain, and restricts legal locations (augmented assignments are stateme
