Not really, the empty list, None, and False are distinct values in Python. In [1]: [] is None Out[1]: False In [2]: [] is False Out[2]: False In [3]: [] == False Out[3]: False In [4]: [] == None Out[4]:

Plus, this gets a lot worse when that sharing to your parent was a mistake. Now you've got the 'wrong' order of elements in the UI, and every further mis-tap just reinforces the wrongness.

Given that it's an Electron app, is there a chance that we could get a Linux build at some point in the future? Great work by the way!

Not really, there are plenty of poly folk who are married, and polyamory isn't restricted to hookups.

by s_kilk 8y ago
This seems to be restricted to users who are not marked as married or in a relationship, which excludes a whole swathe of people who are poly or variously non-monogamous. Pretty disappointing, given this restriction isn't there on othe

The whole death-worshipper thing in this fable is so deeply flawed that's its fatal to the whole argument. The author frames the "death worshipper" as wrong because the dragon is an obviously artificial threat that came along

At work we have two endpoints on every service, `/status` and `/health-check`. The former is basically a "return true" endpoint, which can tell you if the service is alive and reachable. The latter will usually do someth

That's good to hear. If you don't mind elaborating, which version of ember did you start with? Follow on: can you comment on how ember has improved since then? I'm particularly interested in improvements to performance and er

(as someone who doesn't use ember) This release looks cool, and I like the general vibe of careful development and clear messaging. Is anyone here using Ember on big projects? How's it working out? I tried ember, maybe 6 or 7 year

I'm curious, given Godels incompleteness theory, isn't it impossible to have both soundness and completeness in the same language?

I'm a big fan of Elixir, but the community gravitation toward Elm has always struck me as a bit weird. The two languages have nothing in common beyond both being functional, and it kinda feels like someone posted a "Elixir and Elm
