a guy yesterday told me an adorable story about how a lot of friends have died in crashes on harleys and now he rides a little honda he'd have been ashamed to be seen on in his youth

I really can't stand the sentiment that people should never be donating labor to a commercial project. I don't mind helping out at the farmers market; their businesses help me, they're irreplaceable, and I know they're not making very much money. We need to remember that small businesses exist, and not give them the same combative spirit that we owe to big business.

I dislike non-commercial creative commons licenses because they fail to distinguish commerce that sustains a family from commerce that grotesquely accumulates excess capital, which are just totally different things.

If your war on big tech is causing you to adopt Bioshock-style "who should own the sweat of a man's brow" rhetoric then maybe you've lost the thread

Well hot damn, exceptions in GHC 9.10 are going to be fancy as hell https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/master/proposals/0330-exception-backtraces.rst

> During discussions on a previous iteration of this proposal, various community members mentioned that they were using dynamically-typed annotations on exceptions in their own code-bases to great effect. One such library, annotated-exception, served as the inspiration for the annotation notion proposed above and could likely be largely superceded by ExceptionAnnotation.

Faint aurora here, first time I've seen it at all so still pretty cool.

Favorite sky phenomenon I've ever seen was light pillars, five years ago.

It's interesting, an automatic watch - it doesn't just accommodate, it depends on you. If you don't wear it, it dies

@sanityinc SRPH31, I like it, definitely going to have to swap in a more comfortable band

Another example of "offensive" being the only language people seem to have to talk about problems anymore. It isn't the Apple "Crush" ad that's wrong! It's upsetting because it's an accurate depiction of the change we're seeing. These objects are disappearing and cheap electronic substitutes are the reason.

chris__martin,

The ad may have been a misstep from their perspective but I'm glad they gave us this fantastic artistic depiction of the device paradigm.

@chris__martin@functional.cafe avatar

I'm not sure it even is a misstep, though. I'm reminded of the very beginning of Mad Men where Don realizes that his job isn't to convince the public that they should keep smoking despite its problems; it's just to convince smokers they should buy his brand instead of the other one. "People love smoking." Likewise Apple isn't responsible for the device paradigm, nor is it at risk of thirst for device diminishing. Apple has to make its name synonymous with the trend and it wouldn't do them much good to try to convince us that the trend isn't horrible.

The role of cussing in the home is to help establish a register that distinguishes angry criticism from loving criticism. The children make mistakes, but the computer fucks up.

People mock significant whitespace when it's Python but not when it's Haskell? Show some courage why don't you

I'm curious if people who think they should be able to un-donate work from Stack Overflow feel the same about Wikipedia. Or like if somebody gives you a software patch do you want them to later be able to tell you to stop using it?

chris__martin,
@chris__martin@functional.cafe avatar

I realized some years ago that I should stop writing for SO but it never occurred to me to think that I could somehow take back the past. Can't you just accept that you made a mistake, have regrets, want to do better in the future?

I realize that nobody read the legal terms when they signed up but, like, the idea that when you contribute a bit of text to a big collaborative project you're providing it under a revocable license is not even a reasonable guess, every legally or informally

After years of not understanding Haskell arrow syntax, I found one great use case and now I'm in love

A neat thing about Nix is that tests are derivations just like packages are, so they benefit from the same caching infrastructure. When you run 'nix flake check' often the only thing that happens is you receive an assertion (perhaps from a remote builder) that the checks pass. You do not have to re-run tests that somebody else has already run.

Civil disobedience is irrelevant, Thorough is in the high school canon because his contribution to industrial capitalism is asserting that one should not be anchored to a place. A mobile workforce that doesn't grow food requires everybody to hate their hometown, to move based on where employers want resources and not develop other connections

IMO the most compelling reason to grow past the terms "unit" and "integration" for testing is that the levels of testing worth distinguishing are application-specific and usually more numerous than two.

Paying attention to appropriate classifications for tests is about balancing coverage and budget at each phase and across all phases
