I have an exactly opposite preference. Give me a big change to review. Going commit by commit or any imposed steps is not how I write code or how I understand code. If you did not approach it through literate programming, I just prefer all

You can just inspect merge commits, you can also just bisect over merge commits. Splitting work into multiple PRs is unnecessary ritual. I have never reasoned about git history or paid attention to most commit messages or found any of it us

> You aren't forced into using async/await everywhere all the time. this sounds like 'a misuse of the interface, a lesson in interface design', etc Exactly, async-await does not allow you to create correct interfaces.

by vjerancrnjak 1y ago
Async and threading are applied to similar problems, that's how I understood OP. `if (file_exists(f))` is misuse of the interface, a lesson in interface design, and a faulty pattern that's easy to repeat with async-await. > I d

I don't see how try-catch promotes single responsibility principle. I feel like this principle is just arbitrary. If I have Result<Error, Value> and I change the Error, I have to change all places that are using the Error type an

I replied directly to you. There are valid arguments as to why async-await sucks, even after you're deeply familiar with how it works. Even though it's just generators/coroutines beneath, async-await pollutes the code complet

by vjerancrnjak 1y ago
It's more about how the code ends up evolving. Async-await in JS is sometimes used to swallow exceptions. It's very often used to do 1 thing at a time when N things could be done instead. It serializes the execution a lot when it

Is there software that works without ECC RAM ? I think most popular databases just assume memory never corrupts .

It changes. Previously, I wouldn’t watch h264 videos that had wrong encoding settings (bad deblock, 2pass, bad crf). Now I don’t really care. When I cared, I cared about movies as well. It’s just the energy of caring. Now I don’t find movie

It must be the tokenizer. Figuring out words from an image is harder (edges, shapes, letters, words, ...), yet internal representations are more efficient. I always found it strange that tokens can't just be symbols but instead there&#

I like how Serbian is completely fine with Njujork or Majkl Ðekson. Phonemic orthography should win and destroy all spelling bees.

I guess we just need pipelining systems that batch. These patterns constantly appear yet we continue writing code step by step.

A recurring problem, somehow making it very easy to write code that deals with 1 thing from start. When time comes , somehow hard to write code that deals with N things. I wonder how different the code would look if it was just written to d

Exactly, sounds like misuse of unions. Although Python type hints are not expressive enough.

There’s no exponential improvement in go or chess agents, or car driving agents. Even tiny mouse racing. If there is, it would be such nice low hanging fruit. Maybe all of that happens all at once. I’d just be honest and say most of it is c

I understand your examples, but I'd say ASTs are rare and they're already a convenience, not a performance or efficiency choice. You're using ASTs because you'll be able to write other code quickly. For the wishlist and

Lenses: solve a problem elegantly (if you can hide the boilerplate) but inefficiently. A self caused problem by having extremely nested records. How did you get to a point where you have a structure that's hard to play with? Lenses are

by vjerancrnjak 1y ago
I felt similar with lenses. The problem lens solve is horrible. You don’t even want that problem. FP can be the pragmatic as well. You’re going to glue up monad transformers, use lenses like there’s no runtime cost, and compute whatever you

Flix does not have generic effects, yet it has generic traits. This hints that effects are not meant to deal with data variability. Effects are allowing variability of control flow. Abstracting `try/catch/finally` or `async/a

Any programming language with an effect system could do that as well. More recently discussed are OCaml's effect system, or Flix programming language.

Haven’t seen even something like opinionated frameworks work well with their initial abstractions. Even file interfaces in most programming languages don’t come with pipelining. Most are leaky abstraction. Most abstractions also deal with 1

There are many ways code can get simpler even with ifs. If you find yourself sprinkling ifs everywhere, try to lift them up, they’ll congregate at the same place eventually, so all of your variability is implemented and documented at a sing

They just have a pool that’s filled with bad candidates. They want to disable luck for them.

I would like a language where your call stack can't be bigger than two/three. You can call functions inside your function Main, but these function can't call any functions anymore (exception being flat helper functions define
