Right but one of the main benefits of a REPL productivity wise is being able to do stuff with your active record models in rails, so this was always a barrier in crystal.

ICR basically doesn't work the way you would expect it too. Every time you add a line, it re-runs all previous lines, making it quite hard to do REPL-like stuff when some of those lines do something external like DB commands, especiall

I strongly believe that we are just meat machines, and you could re-construct your exact consciousness in a machine and, with proper technology, have no idea whether you are real or in a simulation, for example. Way back when I was an under

If there isn't anything generally available that doesn't have telemetry, then productivity software w/o telemetry isn't a solved task. If you accept LibreOffice and the like, then it's a solved task but you'll

Sounds like it would create jobs too, that's a plus not a minus lol

Early 20th centruy industrialists also had to deal with the looming threat of anti-trust regulations. These days it's almost a joke. There is no trust-busting anymore. The monopolies control foreign and domestic policy through massive

Yeah we are waiting on accountant to finish taxes (which are on extension) for 2021 so we can submit and get a statement of good standing with RI so we can renew our registration. Mail forwarding failed to forward our annual statement docum

Mercury rejected our LLC when we applied there yesterday so not sure where to go now (and no idea why we were rejected). Is there any reason not to go with Bluevine?

by sam0x17 4y ago
Edit: very disappointed to see Mercury denied my LLC as well. I guess they don't care about small businesses either?

AKA they lose money on smaller customers to customer support requests and most likely wire transfer fees since they offer wire tranfers for free. They almost definitely lost money on my LLC I bet they only made $5 in interest after a year a

I love CloudFlare workers EXCEPT the ridiculous limit they place on outgoing web requests. It makes doing something like writing a distributed web scraper or crawler impractical, so poo poo on them.

That's such a "think of the children!" argument. Yes I was there for that thread and it was sad when it happened, but such is life. Privacy is more important than whatever this is.

very untrue. It is well documented that income equality is more extreme now (by an order of magnitude) than it was at any point in recorded human history. The inequality is something like 100x that of french revolution times where terms lik

A much more reasonable proposal would simply be to ensure that billionaires actually pay the ~25%-35% everyone else pays and to put a $ cap on itemized deductions so that billionaires find it vanishingly difficult to write off 100% of their

Anything is better than the 8% they pay now

So I take it when they say "constant time" for things like SIKE, they aren't sleeping for X milliseconds, but are just using some operation that is thought to be effectively constant time, hence this vulnerability? What is th

not if it doesn't have equailty defined. Then you have to define it. Oh, and it's an AST node someone at X company wrote and there are 100+ node types. Have fun! In crystal there is a reasonable data-based default hash implementat

The main thing that irked me though is I had to spend a whole day doing a simple "take this complex object and use it as a hash key" in an idiomatic way other than just cheating and using the stringified version of the object as t

The fact that it's a bunch of top level functions also makes me think of PHP from the early 00s, only I was able to do more with things then tbh. Just feels super archaic.

by sam0x17 4y ago
Another big area that is lacking is Go makes it so hard if you want to use something other than a primitive as a hash key (Rust is guilty of this as well, mind you). This is something that should come out of the box in any modern language i
