No statement in this arena taken to an extreme stands to reason, including "without the lure of money and its power, we wouldn't do anything". I contribute to open source, as many others here do. Lots and lots of people contr

I wonder about the environmental impact of CPU cores churning away uselessly on so many machines so many times. Probably enough to power a home for a few years?

That would certainly work, I've got a rewrite of a WebExtension in progress that does the same thing. Depending upon what the likes of `Aff` compile down to, you may not even need a JS wrapper. If the compiled type signature is compati

The next step here may be recognising that just as you'd map a list, you can also map lots of other data structures, namely anything that's a functor (see: `fmap`). Have something nullable? Stick it inside `Maybe` and map it. Have

Not played anything very intensive yet, but Rocket League and Deep Rock Galactic, each via Proton, are performing way better than they were before, in line with what you'd expect moving from a 1070 to a 6800.

When I think of networks of friends and family I don't think that's the case. You'll need something approaching 50%+1.

6800 is already working fine on release mesa for me. Mightn't have been the case if stock wasn't buggered and I'd have gotten my hands on it a couple of months ago at launch, mind.

I never had crashes but, having switched from a 1070 (proprietary) to a 6800 (open) this week, the experience is far better. Things that were previously nigh-on impossible to get right, like fixing screen tearing, or freesync without bizarr

The vast majority of users don't care about the underlying encryption. That's a problem, in a sense, but the core problem here is the network effect. That it's the natural behaviour of people doesn't make it not a proble

I can't imagine that having good reliability.

You don't really need to be bought into fp-ts to use io-ts. Just create a helper function that morphs the native decode output, `Either<E, A>`, to something like `E | A` or `A | null`.

I think it makes sense to separate the notion of bangs, what a lot of people use DDG for, from that of a search engine. I think projects like my own (very primitive!) bangin are a step in the right direction here: https://github.

You'll potentially need to use merge if you're collaborating with others on feature branches.
74.
by samhh 6y ago
I think the most common usage of that - switching branches - could be replaced with `git switch` now. That leaves `git checkout` in the set of more advanced operations for more niche use cases. Same goes I think for `git restore` over `git

Everyone saying which app they prefer, and I'm wondering why you don't just use one of the many lightweight, FOSS CLI diffing tools that already exists.

It is, for example accessing an array or record doesn't unionise the returned value type with undefined, though this particular gaping hole of unsafety is being addressed in 4.1 with a new flag. Beyond that there's functions that

It's a bit high level in that the benefits aren't obvious until you buy into other functional concepts, but basically it's that Options can be layered i.e. Option<Option<string>> is possible. If you just use ordin

Author here. Yeah, I've found myself never really needing that functionality. I use bookmarks principally as time savers and secondarily as ephemeral reminders; I think the habit people have of stacking up bookmarks they'll never

That's one of my motivations for writing bangin. There are some sites I want to use bangs with which are either too niche or otherwise fall foul of DuckDuckGo's rules. https://github.com/samhh/bangin

Hello, author here. The idea came to me yesterday as I wanted to use a bang for ProtonDB. I didn't fancy waiting around for it to be added to DDG following submission, and that led me to ponder the other harms of this really useful fea

I've found 20:4 successful only as a means of preventing me from eating too much; prior to IF I'd habitually graze throughout the day. It's basically a diet where you don't have to think that much about what you eat (you

If I'm understanding you correctly, then fp-ts has the `constant` function to enable what you're describing in #1: fold(constant('my static fallback'), f)(x) What sucks about this, as much as it's my prefer

That's not an unreasonable concern but it does mean you're writing code targeting the lowest common denominator. That's not a decision free from negative consequences.

Elm's got questionable support; I wouldn't feel comfortable recommending that at work, it'd be irresponsible. PureScript I really like but it's a massive jump from JS/TS to PS/HS. All of these languages are har

TypeScript is really about type safety within the confines of your application. You can address the unsafety at the edges with something like io-ts.

I doubt much of this is parallelised. Would love to be wrong though!

I think number one can be handled with type classes. Usually if you want to pass in radically different structures there's some common underlying structure.
