I gave up on proptest and did this, too. What I miss is: Shrinking, deterministic replay.

Amazing survey. Big fan of property testing. A particularly big fan of Hedgehog. I tried writing a Hedgehog-inspired library in Rust and realized how complex the underlying domain is. For example, the RNG is "splittable" [1][2] wh

I’ve used Terraform modules for my personal infrastructure to keep things separated. They work fine for that. Maybe if you work at a shop where you repeat the same thing, thinking of a module hierarchy that allows reuse makes a lot of sense

I've tried to use ChatGPT to answer programming questions where I need either a library reference and/or an example. I find that ChatGPT isn't better than looking up the library reference, but that sometimes it's faster

When I took Abstract Algebra 1, I had to sit in the front row because I was too cheap to buy glasses. I learned about commutators from a guy on the front row who was really good at Rubik's cubes. Concrete examples relatable to your hob

If I were to eventually buy a non-Tesla, getting one with actual buttons would not be on the “thank gods I’m finally free from this!” list. Windshield wipers where “auto” actually works. Not having the car system (music, AC, etc.) turn off

I have FastMail. What I can’t get everywhere is: - Webmail - Mobile app I moved away from Gmail, and it felt like a feature loss. But after enough years, Gmail feels bloated.

There's nothing stale about sitting in a Tesla. For most other EVs, it still feels like you're sitting in a car. The main reason I'd consider something other than a Tesla today: - What's the maximum range - How muc

The way I've seen the dot-com bubble portrayed as bigger is: It was more likely that someone would throw money at your idea back then if it ended with ".com" than it is for someone to fund your idea today that ends with &quot

This fits even more with the Wikipedia definition of BSL. Just call it what it is, there are no feel-good points for advertising it as something it isn't. People are ambivalent about BSL licenses because of the way companies use them t

Their instinct is to stay put, which means they don't run when the tractor comes. A drone flies over the field, maps where the fawns are staying put, sends a message to automated tractors to reroute. This is probably the most "fee

Yeah, I think that might well be why I stick to finger counting, so I don’t accidentally count the offset as the first step.
