Personally I just ignore them(Raising Steam and Snuff). There are too many inconsistencies with how Vimes and Lipwig are characterized in those books, that I can't see them as the same characters. I haven't started the Shepherd&#x

Could you elaborate what you mean when you say they broke the team?

You can't be as aggressive at removing functions in Java than in Rust though since it's dynamic dispatch (e.g., if you use toString once in your code, you need to keep all implementations of toString which are reachable even if us

The best reason to use Emacs is because it is _yours_ in a way no other software is. You can change practically every aspect of it; and crucially it's really, really easy like no other editor or program.

I've just wanted right click menus and second screens on Wayland for ages. My herd of yaks is only getting higher over time...

To be fair, mixing higher order functions with effects (exceptions) is really hard without changing the type system completely. At that point you're moving into novel encoding territory.

The Scala community is incredibly committed to stability; every open source maintainer I know of in that space checks for binary compatibility when releasing as well as cross-compiling for multiple targets (Node, Web, Native) and versions.

Also, Mavens metadata model is recursive. You want need a dependency? You're going to have to pull in the parent, which is probably an Uber pom. Take a look at your M2 cache, it's probably got a kubernetes pom even if you've

Yes, though hopefully it's been packaged up by the distro otherwise you'll end up having dependency problems if you compiled against a wrong libc or something else.

Monads have nothing to do with laziness and we're talking about the Result type anyway. OP is correct. If it has a bind, pure and map (which it does!) then for all intents it forms a monad. Now the fact is you can't _manipulate_ m

Correct me if I'm wrong but, you and others are saying that posting racial slurs, CP and gore for shock value are an integral part of the culture? I don't understand why it's important to be flamed at all by people who are an

Really? Would you not think that being anonymous, performative moral actions would be fewer than a social network which was tied to an actual identity? I don't understand why in your example, the point couldn't be made without spe

My intuition would expect the two to be correlated. All anecdotal evidence I've seen points to the language mattering a great deal since only those people who are enthusiastic about niche languages, tend to put more time in learning&#x

But what you call promptness is predictability from the PoV of the programmer, no? I don't think I've mentioned performance anywhere; thanks for the paper I'll take a look.

There is pyml for interopt but I've never used it.

GUIs are a PITA like in most languages. I think most people use something which binds to gtk (such as lablgtk) or Qt. For scientific computing there is Owl, but I haven't used it personally.

Vscode works since there is an LSP server.

It does give better performance predictability! Decrementing a refcount may either be a no-op or expensive but crucially the op can happen only during that particular call, nowhere else.

I usually code in more estoteric bits of tech and problems which I didn't expect ChatGPT to do well in but I tried it at work on a standard backend stack (Java, Ivy, Ant) and it was absolutely _terrible_. It kept making stuff up and th

My personal applications tend to use only monospaces fonts and stick to Latin characters so I can get away with glyph rendering and then a very simple layout algorithm so something like ab_glyph or freetype is enough and I don't need h

Rust does well on the text-shaping and glyph rendering, but the rest of the ecosystem is still massively geared towards Windows and game development. I am rooting for Vello to succeed!

Do you find AI to be good with art generation? I can't use any of the art in the projects that I do without extensive inefficient editing since the stuff it spits out isn't how a human would draw. It's good for concept browsi

Honestly, if it's a desktop application and you're not using heavy 3D graphics, why not use wgpu with Cairo? With some smart region tracking it should be plenty performant.

That's essentially Kant's argument as to why you should have universal morals (see the classic not lying to an axe murderer).
