This idea is hilarious. If only every function was given a sound so you could hear a cacophony of mistakes every time it was run. Imagine a programmer Bach, someone who could somehow weave a beautiful rhythm into their standard library function calls.

I have no issues on Firefox. Check your settings and plug-ins perhaps?

Your definition is a bit too One True Scotsman of the meatball world for my taste.

Larger Swedish meatballs are not uncommon in restaurants (and frankly neither is garlic). Kenji's video and recipe uses a lot of nutmeg and even says they are normally eaten with potatoes and lingonberry sauce. Not sure how much more 'Swedish' you can eat your meatballs.

These are great! Any fiction work that you have enjoyed?

What are your go to book recommendations? No topic in particular.

Also! Just want to add that your work is really inspiring. I look forward to your videos more than any other. Cheers!

His recent(ish) video showing an Xray time-lapse is one of if not the most visually interesting thing I have seen https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=j-FHbHoiwNk

Tom7 is brilliant for anyone that hasn't seen him before. His Reverse Emulation video (https://youtu.be/ar9WRwCiSr0) and Weird Chess Algorithms (https://youtu.be/DpXy041BIlA) are a must watch. His dead pan delivery coupled with the ridiculous amount of effort he puts into things that don't _really_ matter is honestly inspiring.

Big thing libraries also have is books that haven't been digitized. There are so many great works that simply cannot be found online.

I got the same impression. I find it strangely reminiscent of a sponsored reddit advertisement.

>These aren't ironclad rules, but they are each a piece of gathered advice that hold some truth in some context.

This is spot on. There is a time and a place for these "laws" which is sometimes forgotten. Don't be dogmatic about following them. They will be detrimental to a team following them blindly.

>> And finally, any configuration that is needed would need to be simple settings that can be configured via a GUI, with configuration via shell there only for those who want it.

>Difficult to tell what's fully meant here, but since both Mac and Windows fail spectacularly at this requirement too, I imagine it's probably not actually that big of a deal.

Not OP, but I use MacOS, Windows, and Linux (Debian & Fedora based) frequently. While finding how to configure obscure things is not intuitive for any OS, Linux faces the frustrating problem that different distributions require different solutions. Thus, Linux doesn't get the luxury of an answer that consistently works on all distributions and desktop environments. Mac and Windows can get pretty ugly (cough especially Windows), but I find that solutions are much quicker to find online comparatively. This doesn't even touch on the pains of NVIDIA graphics cards on Linux, but I digress.

I agree with your general point about avoiding centralized data, but StackExchange definitely stands as unique since all of its posts are in the creative commons. Due to that, I think SE is one of the few bastions for sharing knowledge since it doesn't own its users answers.

Not saying that SE is the end all be all of QA forums, just that it's a much better centralized system than you are giving it credit.

Thanks for writing this, I was going to skip over this initially because the presentation style and its length. This talk was well worth watching.

100% agree with this. Read, model, then break it to find any incorrect assumptions you have made.

Another thing I haven't seen in this thread yet is that it just takes time. It takes time to grasp a system, and if it is a big project especially, you will probably still not understand everything after a few weeks.

This blog reminds me of something John Carmack calls architecture astronauts. It talks about "glue" / connectors integrated with a programming language, which at a high level, sounds really nice. But I am skeptical of how well one could implement it in practice. Interoperating is far from standardized and I definitely want concrete examples illustrating what "Architecture Oriented" is in code and not theory. I hope there is a part two for this.

Fair enough. My experience with reviews has been they are quick quality checks, and at least for teams I have been on, were beneficial. I can see how they could become more of a ritual process than a beneficial one though, especially after seeing some other comments in the thread.

I'm curious to know how does your team avoid shooting itself in the foot with unreviewed code? As in, is there some process that keeps unmaintainable elements from sneaking in?

Coming back to my comment having finished the article in full.

I wonder how the author's code base will develop using a weekly reflection on the code committed instead of PRs. I'm not sure how well their process will handle someone's poor design decisions. My experience has been that poor decisions tend to stay in code once they are there, and especially as more things become dependent on those decisions. Not that reviews will catch everything, but that second set of eyes can go a long way.

This new to me as well. I am very curious what situations people are in where they don't/can't wait for a PR into master.

If you reading this do this, I'd be interested in hearing what the benefit of pushing to master is for you. Is it purely for velocity? And if so why is velocity that important?

They talk about that project in the video.

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing the poster image. Curious, how did people find your website before?

Not sure where you are getting the connection to GPT-3, but I think that sentiment around dismissing quality of Google results and the web at large are pretty common among HN users.

I think it is just harder to find fun / small websites and forums than it used to be. A lot of communities are moving to platforms like discord which are not discoverable or able to be navigated easily from a web browser. As for small websites and blogs, I think they still exist, they just seemed to get passed around less often than news articles. I bet that is in part because there are simply less small websites and blogs to be shared than the sheer volume of news articles that come out every hour.

Did anyone else find this article lacking? I was hoping to learn a bit more about real world examples of functional programming, but all this really did was state some high level ideas of what you could benefit by using a functional programming language like F#.

It is still not clear to me what the advantages of using a functional language like F# vs writing C# code that avoids side effects and mutating objects in functions. If anyone could share any articles or books on the subject, I would really appreciate it.

>A tabletop game is limited to (essentially) what you can make with cardboard and flavour text.

Maybe for board games. But for tabletop rpgs, I think it's different.

Games like Dungeons & Dragons are limited more by what you can describe with language and reasonably bookkeep without slowing down the pace of play.

Just made an account to say this. I am really impressed by your projects. I first found out about pdm after writing a small plugin for marko (which is amazing by the way) and checking out your github profile. I find what you write to be really well thought out and approachable.
