Yeah, 'int is iterable' triggered "oh that's cute!" immediately followed by "... and the exact sort of cute I often find irresistably tempting myself and then regret later." My current thing in progress ha

Separate from anything else, I'm ... concerned ... at the idea of ints being iterable, because it seems like something I'd be much more likely to invoke accidentally than intentionally and then wonder wtf my program was doing. I&#

I don't know the platform and would -guess- that this won't actually help, but it's sufficiently fascinating I thought I'd share anyway: https://trout.me.uk/lisp/vlist.pdf (roughly "stitching t

Eh? Of course it is, that's exactly why I want to see the system replaced. What does this have to do with my agreeing with you that approval voting wouldn't confuse people?

The deposit system in the UK seems to work fine for us. It's not enough (£500 currently) to be a meaningful expense to any candidate actually trying to win, but it's enough friction for 'fun' campaigns that we get enough

Fond though I am of ranked choice conceptually, there are a lot of people I would not enjoy (nor be particularly successful at) talking through voting under such a system. Given especially US multi-race ballots, I find it a lot harder to se

libpq normally connects to a unix socket by being given 'localhost' as the hostname or no hostname at all. IIRC it'll also accept a path -as- a hostname but I'm guessing from your phrasing the field validation won't

If you want to see something truly fascinating, take apart https://logtalk.org/ - it implements an OO system for prolog which gives you all sorts of advantages (the least of which being a not-terrible way of getting namespa

I've been eyeing https://neutralino.js.org/ since if I'm going to make the app render right on browsers then relying on the same code via webviews likely isn't (much) more portability effort.

Without expressing an opinion on Flutter as such, it's worth remembering that Google is a big enough organisation that even -some- internal apps being built using it is quite a commitment, and it not having spread further internally co

Sorry for the silly question, I found the standardDevReloader stuff, hadn't realised it was built in. Not what I was hoping for since I want per-library reloading, but for the goals of mininext that's probably overkill anyway.

Sure. This was wrt "when using bun" - i.e. somebody else might prefer to just whack web-dev-server into place as a lightweight option for them. mininext is a neat idea and I plan to read through the code (do you have a preferred &

My general answer to this is to make sure whatever thing I'm building understands Pg COPY TSV syntax - specified by https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-copy.html under 'text format' - and ex

I may be wrong here but I think https://modern-web.dev/docs/dev-server/overview/ could do server-with-HMR for a Bun .js tree? (unsure how you'd handle .ts there, sorry, still caffeinating)

Native as in "if you import a .ts file it Just Works" I'm afraid. Roughly it strips the TS type syntax and hands the result off to JavaScriptCore - so it's not 'native' in the sense you might have been hoping f

by mst 2y ago
bun is a completely separate piece of code - it uses JavaScriptCore rather than v8, there's no 'wrapper' involved. I strongly suspect that what you saw was from running a script with a #! line that specifies node, because bun

Yep, with exactly the same semantics as perl5's 25+ years old 'my' - foreach my $x (@input) { push @callbacks, sub { $x }; } works how you'd expect. I was spoiled by this and driven nuts by function level sc

The key thing (as I understand it) is that each process naturally has a relatively small private set of data, so Erlang can use a stop-the-process semispace copying collection strategy and it's fast enough to work out fine. Since nothi

I said "can still be" because, yes, it's a trade-off. I guess if you're trying to give a rule of thumb to juniors, "always have an auto-inc key in case you've misjudged whether the natural key is a good idea&qu

Using a surrogate UUID for communicating with the outside world is often very useful. This is true for an internal PK that's an auto-inc id as well as for natural keys, though. Using a natural PK -inside- your own database can still be

It's in the annoying category where it can be used as a slur but also gets used as not-a-slur, including but not limited to by the people it describes. Locally (north west england) people generally use "traveller" as a desc

postgraphile does look like it'll handle basic cases pretty nicely but I've gone through the docs and didn't find anything like an explanation of what SQL queries it ends up mapping to - do you happen to know if there's

Seems like at that point exposing each query as an OpenAPI endpoint would achieve pretty much the same thing. Then again having GraphQL as the definition for them is probably still not bad, I'll just have to write something that conver

WiredTiger was kinda Mongo's InnoDB and has made "your data will actually still be there later" rather more true than it used to be. I think the key thing is that people using MySQL were having trouble with deep data and foun

Given there's both client and server code available for JS that seems like a perfectly reasonable place to start experimenting with it. The python community tends to be less neophilic than JS (often to its advantage) so I wouldn't
