> I had to read this a few times to understand that this isn’t saying that Pocketlang is not written in Wren

I had to read that a few times to understand what I think is an unintentional double negative on your part.

I know right? And a monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors. What's the problem?

Rather than replying back, this person edited their inane comment, so my comment above is now totally out of context. This is the kind of person we're dealing with.

Oh, you have your own interests at heart. Thanks for clarifying. I'll definitely trust the conspiracy theories now.

Who should I believe? The career hedge fund trader? Or randos spouting conspiracy theories? I can't decide.

TIL. I had never heard that until now (I'm American). Seems to be a British idiom?

"Being an asshole is an essential part of the riding thrill." Fixed that for you.

> You figure they would get the idea when I return an ungodly expensive machine and tell them this is the reason.

You would hope so, but behemoths like Apple just don't care and don't have to. I'm guessing it would take thousands of returns before it even made a blip on their radar.

Yep. Sadly, they are very out of touch. As recently as a year ago, Guido hadn't even heard of Poetry: https://twitter.com/gvanrossum/status/1227126706089021440

That's because he lacks empathy. (Only someone lacking empathy would accuse someone who accused someone else of lacking empathy of doing so due to lack of empathy.)

Cannot upvote this enough. Cognito is the absolute worst solution you could choose.

This looks great. If you added support for easy/integrated static site hosting, this would be a compelling alternative to Vercel and Netlify. Any plans for that?

> taking a similar place to sex ed

That's a great analogy, and sadly why I don't think these classes will help as much as we'd like.

The places where they are needed the most are the places that are going to alter the content of the classes to fit their agenda. Just look at sex ed classes in strongly conservative areas.

You can also report them to /dev/null, it will have the same effect.

Imagine replying to a post based on a huge dataset, saying it's "not really data", then countering with an opinion based on a personal anecdote.

Has anyone here used Taiko? The link above makes it sound pretty good.

Same here. My take away from these replies is that I'm not missing anything by sticking with uBlock.

Can you say more? I’m a happy uBlock user — what am I missing by not using Brave?

Wanting to be respected by their community is a political position?

Are banks auditable? (Yes.) Do they have paper backups of everything? (Not that I'm aware of.) What's the difference? Honest question.

At least Reddit is usually up so you can read its content. (The site hosting this post is currently down.)

How did they not name this Dine?!

Watch out for misinformation on all sides. This film tries to use bicycles to make a point and gets it completely wrong. See https://twitter.com/peteyreplies/status/1306186884683567104.

I think something might be off in your mental model of python coroutines. They work via cooperative multitasking. Atomic operations aren't really necessary or relevant in such a system where you are in complete control of all yield points (i.e., calls to `await`).

If you read the full blog post, the author solves the problem without setdefault, and without having to cancel any futures.

dict.setdefault doesn’t solve the problem that he’s using the lock for (atomicity is not the problem).

> a large body of evidence suggests that having static types for both safety and documentation is a big win

Citation needed. A review of studies on static vs. dynamic languages concluded "most studies find very small effects, if any". https://danluu.com/empirical-pl/
