I've been using nushell for a couple of weeks and I'm finding it good enough for a daily driver. I was never much of a shell script person so I don't miss any bash-isms, on the contrary I find that I can easily perform some t

For what it's worth, Usada Pekora is a vtuber (a streamer who presents themselves as a mocapped anime/cartoon/3D avatar) who is never implied to be underage. Not that I'm defending whatever Automatic1111 does.

I love that one! I find it kind of amazing that it works at all with so many possible tiles and hands, though I guess them being in order helps a lot.

In Italy it's fairly common for people of the same sex to greet each other with two kisses on the cheeks or hug each other. Holding hands has become kind of taboo but I don't really see the behavior of the men in those picture as

I did acknowledge that they are orthogonal when I said that not every pure FP language has to be like that. Thanks for pointing out ZIO, I didn't know about it.

I have to agree with you as far as pure functional programming goes. I also don't like the Haskell approach of of overgeneralizing concepts just because you can; it's the FP equivalent of stuffing every design pattern you can into

I'm a fan of functional programming but I'm pretty sure this post would do a terrible job of convincing anyone to try FP out. There's a very bad pattern of replicating very specific language features and control flow structur

Isn't btdig also open source? I see a "fork me" button on the front page and it leads to a repo: https://github.com/btdigg-org/dhtcrawler2

It has an atmosphere and architectural style unlike any other Italian city. It's definitely one of my favorites, though I might be biased because I'm from one of the neighboring villages (and I'm probably gonna move in the ci

> How much work would it take in term of code rewriting? Probably a lot. Most of the operations on basic types like strings rely on C# methods rather than being implemented in the corresponding module like in OCaml (e.g. `String.split_on

This reminds me a lot of Conway's law: > Any organization that designs a system (defined broadly) will produce a design whose structure is a copy of the organization's communication structure. If we apply this law backwards, mi

For me the enjoyment fades only if the song itself is not very good to begin with; I start to notice the flaws and after a while I start to hate it and wonder why I even liked it in the first place. Good songs tend to pass the test of being

I suspect I have a similar problem with my WH-1000XM4, the wifi hotspot on my Pixel 4a. Whenever I was listening to music from my phone connected while also using it as a hotspot for the laptop I would start losing tons of packets and could

True, but then again Italian has regular pronunciation rules and "x" is always pronounced the same way as "cs", so even if "fuxia" is not a proper spelling it's a homophone and I wouldn't be surprised

The main problem is that the hooks provided by React by default are low-level primitives of an incremental computing DSL, and you need to have a very good understanding of both JavaScript and the semantics of this DSL to work with those pri

You can only dereference raw pointers from within an unsafe block so they're only useful inside unsafe blocks. IMO Unsafe Rust != Rust, unsafe is an extension to the language that is clearly separated from safe code, and using it essen
