@ask_aubry I'm Bengali and there is no way in hell you can add CINNAMON of all things to white-coloured Bengali desserts like roshgolla, firni, or any others. Those things have very gentle, specific flavours that would be OBLITERATED by cinnamon.

@ohmypy @adamwathan Look. C claims to solve a number of problems. All of these problems can be solved without C, by using pure Assembly and a sensible approach to working with registers and interrupts. So why use C?.

@jmcconnell70 @tinytempah235 @your_juannonly @jaymart222 @75opinionated Yeah, we know slumlords would happily let people live in dumps, you don't have to tell us. This is why regulations are needed to force LLs to keep their properties up to code.

But that's quite literally the point though.
pls ignore the fact that we forgot to return early on err. it's just a mistake, that's not the point.

Why don't fulltime employed software devs produce polished software like Ghostty in their personal time? Is it because Mitchell Hashimoto is cracked? Or could it be because time and energy are limited after work and personal lives? What could it be, I wonder.

@FrauW_Inklusion @SpiritofLenin Her family continues to be allowed to remain 'royalty' and figureheads of the state in exchange for never once lifting a finger or speaking out against Britain's Government no matter how blatant their crimes. They made that choice every day for decades. Hope that clarifies.

@BK62085930 @NikMarzz @jaymart222 @smokinglamps Short term thinking that predictably ends up with the mess they are currently in, with capitalized investments in maintenance the unit would have been usable and rentable today. Instead they are going to take a massive loss on it now.

OCaml is like the 80% of the Rust language that you really like, without that last 20% that just fries your brain.

A bit smarter version:. function rm () {. for f in "$@". do. mv -f "$f" "/tmp/$f". done.}. This moves even non-empty directories.

This is not idiomatic in TypeScript, don't do this. At a certain point you have to ask how the language wants to be used and use it like that. In Go and Rust it's pretty clear they want errors to be values and so that's what you do there. When in Rome etc.
Here's my favourite method for getting Go/Zig/Rust-like errors in TS. It's by returning custom errors from functions. - Shows right in the return type.- Easy checking with instanceof.- No deps required

@GitHubPolicy Like we say in software dev (and you’ll find in your tech blogs about any production incident): an incident never happens because of just one person. It happens because of the systems and processes that allowed it to happen. Firing the HR person is the equivalent of firing the+.

@crimpy13 @daumkeziah Firstly, where did you get the impression that I think it’s racist? I think it’s extremely poor etiquette to treat minority cultures as buffet lunches one can just pick and choose from. Just shows thoughtlessness about what minorities have to put up with in the west about culture.

Little-known advantage of OCaml: even if hackers leak your code, no one will understand it anyway, so security is pretty much airtight!.

@GitHubPolicy +guy who accidentally wipes the production database, instead of examining what systems and processes allowed one person to wipe the production database. It’s a collective responsibility.

@Girlsville @nytimesbusiness It's illegal to fire people for trying to unionize. So of course Google is firing them for 'security breaches'. This needs to be tested in court. My hope is that they're made to pay punitive damages for trying to circumvent the law so blatantly.

While it's interesting that Jane Street uses OCaml, I think it's more interesting that a pretty significant portion of all United States stock market liquidity is driven by OCaml code. That's a lot of money.

. @reasonml protip: in VSCode, set:.": ["bsb"].This turns off Merlin error reporting and turns on bsb error reporting (more accurate). Bonus: runs bsb on every save so you don’t need ‘bsb -w’ any more—just webpack etc. in your terminal.

@mSanterre -You can easily forget to return it and you don't find out until runtime and hitting that code path where something inexplicably gets stuck or the wrong thing happens.-You couldn't make that mistake in any language which used a result type and exhaustive pattern matching.

There's a good reason why I keep saying that OCaml may an FP language but is Unix at heart: it's full of little historical tidbits like 'Oh the creator of OCaml wrote the first implementation of multithreading for Linux'.
