The density of that code is just insanely high. In most language that single fmap line would likely be at least 5 lines of code with lots of variable names to aid in understanding. The map rewrite traversal and actual "compiler" l

How about you try your best to explain all of it? What exactly is that you understand here? What does Optics.rewriteOf do? What's the purpose of Lint.useToMap? How about D.subExpressions ? How does that composition work with the loop f

Ok, lets be specific. Lets write a comment to explain this function: https://github.com/dhall-lang/dhall-haskell/blob/master/dhal...

I love Dhall, but I think Optionals might not be a good fit for a configuration language, especially one that has to deal with Kubernetes A Dhall joke (those that write a lot of it will get it): Some foo walks into Some bar and asks the bar

This is still easier with Kubernetes than with other tools. Installing e.g. fluentd and Kibana is again a configuration / chart which you apply to the cluster. For monitoring and visualization again you have an operator / chart th

Lack of standardization is the primary reason we have this problem in the JS ecosystem. "Productive" ecosystems (e.g. Rails, Elixir) usually have one central framework that provides the standard basics. Libraries, tools and other

We have a new OS, but its novel enough that it isn't recognized as one.

I think you may be off by an order of magnitude.

I'll give you an example of what I mean. Let's look at the manual on variables, found at this URL: https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/variables/ . Variables are shown at the top of the scre

Ok, you made some excellent points.

Are you saying we had systems for spreading rummors that were just as efficient and sophisticated as today's, 40 years ago? I'm not sure I have the right words to explain what kind of environment I mean. A platform such as twitter

Yep, I've seen Gleam and I absolutely love the idea, although it seems like its super early stage still. Should play with it a bit more.

The ironic thing here is that the main reason you've seen that kind of claim is because social media tends to spread the most outrageous / novel / radical kinds of speech (in turn further causing radicalization among the reci

Yeah, I'd prefer engagement instead. Thought on these things must be refined, and we should probably do it fast because the knee-jerk solution (censorship) is taking over really fast.

Precisely, and this is genuinely scary. At the time, there was no sophisticated evolutionary environment that spreads "information" at lightning speed with a fitness function tuned for "engagement" and bad ideas still fo

I'm not even suggesting restrictions to free speech. All I am suggesting is that speech can be incredibly harmful in ways we haven't realized yet. I posted the evidence, I can post a paper too if you like https://www.sc

Social media is an environment for spreading brain viruses. Here is how it works (with Twitter as an example, even without an algorithmic timeline): A person tweets something. They have N followers A subset of those followers may see the tw

Its the same problem as the yellow press, and we'll probably arrive the same solution (people learning to completely ignore random bullshit they read on social media)

It is more powerful because it reaches more people - and furthermore it has exponential amplifiers (social networks) that encourage the most pathological kinds of it. Read this thread, and then multiply this approximate scenario by a milli

Here is an example on what speech on social media did over the past couple of years: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1458881015917678594.html and this is unfortunately not an isolated case.

Speech inspires action. There is a lot of legally allowed action that can still cause plenty of harm, and speech can stimulate that action. I don't have a solution, but we can't pretend that speech isn't much more powerful in

Elixir (and Phoenix) are truly amazing. I only wish there was a typesystem / spec system better (stricter) than Dialyzer. Or perhaps I am doing something wrong but I couldn't get it to be as strict - if there is a way i'd lov

The UI looks great but the UX is terrible

a) The text explains how its not broken b) Its not difficult if you use a library that ensures this is done correctly. Otherwise yes, secure auth is difficult, just like its difficult anywhere else.

GraphQL itself is not a trap, but its easy to fall into the "object graph modelling" trap with it. You probably shouldn't do that unless you have a lot of resources to spend on it. I think "Graph" in the name is wha

I always felt the opposite was odd. Server side rendering felt like an odd hack due to the limitations of the platform. Imagine all you had was a PDF reader - then it would make sense to construct an application by building PDF files which
