Hi, thanks for answering :) > Collection expressions made the language more coherent. Instead of 7 different ways of doing things (some of which were genuinely not efficient), we g…

AFAIK it was a much more down-to-earth thing. The implementation of computation expressions in F# compiled down to lots of function objects that were not very GC-friendly. Or somet…

No, this is just a constructor call, it's purely syntax sugar for the new() way of doing it. > I'm also not sure that something not being intuitive or natural is necessarily a bad …

I guess I overdramatized the situation a bit :) It's a passionate topic for me; as somebody who has been using C# at work for 10 years now, I'm just not happy with the direction th…

Haha, yeah, maybe :) I would've loved an F# that found a way to improve on the performance issues, especially when using computation expressions. That and, either, a deeper integra…

I'm 100% on board with the [] syntax. I'm not on board with adding the syntax for passing arguments to the constructor within that syntax. I agree that = [] is perfectly fine synta…

Absolutely agree. Modern C# language design feels very much lacking in vision or direction. It's mostly a bunch of shiny-looking language features being bolted on, all in ways that…

Oof, that's disappointing to hear. Thanks though, that's actually quite interesting. I'm also thinking of keeping an android phone purely for auth purposes, separate from my main o…

Will eIDAS be the only way to identify yourself in cases where it's needed, or will we be able to user other mechanisms like the german ID card stuff or an entirely separate altern…

I'm not sure either. I've looked at this other document: https://bmi.usercontent.opencode.de/eudi-wallet/eidas-2.0-ar... It seems to imply that the already existing way of authenti…

Because there are other factors at play. No-till is mostly about sustainability of farming. Humans often don't optimize for the most sustainable option but for the option that's mo…

Oh, great to see this on HN! I found Filmulator a few years ago and used it for most of my raw photography (which, admittedly, isn't a lot) and found it amazing. Exactly what I wan…

> Reality is that most women buy based on looks and not practicality. I really had not heard before your comment any women complaining about small pockets. I've had the exact oppos…

> People have lost faith in us. That's a very powerful way to sum up what I've been feeling for a while. People did lose faith, and to be honest, I can't really blame them. From a …

The feds, absolutely. Still, there's a lot of other parties that should not have an easy way of accessing the data (if there is any - the joys of closed source implementations).

There's a difference between web technologies and "the web" as an amorphous philosophical construct. Web technologies, as you stated, are obviously doing just fine. I'd argue the l…

Sounds cool, I'll keep an eye on it :D

> Minecraft modding is also unofficial (you still don't have code or an API, you have to decompile! you do have datapacks but those can't do shit compared to proper modding) Not qu…

> long gone are the days of games with actual modding support I'll disagree here. Kerbal Space Program, Rimworld, Minecraft all have gigantic modding communities, just to name a fe…

There's cinny, which is a pretty polished Matrix client that is very, uh, inspired by Discord in its look, that might soon add voice rooms: https://github.com/cinnyapp/cinny/pull/2…

Yup, definite recommendation for Turing Complete. It looks nice, is really well done and very addictive. Also, it's on GOG ( https://www.gog.com/game/turing_complete ) which is alw…

Thanks, I'll take what I can get :D

Not a question, just wanted to say I'm a big fan of your blog and have been binge-reading it in recent times. I really enjoy the way you explain concepts like transistor types, dig…

Fancy. Think I'm gonna go with a traditional bridge for my usecase, but this looks pretty cool. Maybe I have some other uses for it for other applications. Thank you :)

I always assumed that the VPN connection is shared by many HTB users, so it seemed like a good idea to be a bit paranoid about the trustworthyness of a VM that is reachable by lots…
