Ansible is a different tool than Nix. It's been specifically designed to fit your exact use case. If ansible works for you and your team, there's no reason to drop it. I've never h…

For hobby, I use functional languages, and I find the techniques are the important bits to remember. Most modern languages let you easily stand on functional programming theory. Yo…

I've bookmarked your project years ago to attempt implementing webrtc fully in a niche programming language. But I think I may have vastly underrated how difficult this is. Have yo…

Ironically these days you might have a better chance making a living from playing video games compared to any physical activity.

To fly a plane with 300+ passengers you still only need 2-3 pilots. That has remained consistent with the invention of autopilot. While we might still need a few human engineer exp…

Why not go full functional programming at that point? If the main issue with FP has been accessibility, then it should really take off now.

What if there is simply nothing that can be done? I don't mean to sound defeatist, but what if there are some things that truly are like pandora's box. We can't put the lid back on…

What about Elm? I think most people could grasp the elm architecture in an afternoon. To me this MVU style is pretty much perfect for UI. I think a lot of the time React appears co…

The ease in which you can get away with these tactics ad infinitum is starting to make me a pessimist. It feels like it takes almost an entire population of unified people, that ar…

That's extremely difficult. I just don't assume something is impossible because it hasn't been done yet. Especially when there is an active battle to undermine and destroy such ide…

I feel like you're fighting the fallacy of "the rich" being collectively blamed for every problem, by giving them credit for everything instead. We know that none of the goods you …

Tried Mise?

It's quite odd to me that Nix or something similar like Mise isn't completely ubiquitous in software. I feel like I went from having issues with build dependencies to having that a…

Yea this seems like a super power I thought only functional languages had. I have to make time to learn some Rust

Ha learned something

Appreciate it, that makes a lot of sense. I feel like I've been trained to favor immutability so much in every language that I sometimes forget about these things.

Yep Rust approach won. Pretty much every new language is adopting Result style errors and it's been adapted to plenty of existing languages. It's a product of functional programmin…

I'm not sure that nobody thinks of this. We just have a finite amount of time. Usually with a solid approach, you get solid performance. Fixing a performance related bug rarely whe…

I'm interested in what scenarios you don't get this same feeling when writing TS code? I of course agree with Ruby, JS, and Python.

I'm sure most would stay at valve if they could. The just do so much contract work, and I'm sure a stable job at intel is better pay, benefits and stability.

F# seems really awesome. Used it briefly for an internal tool. Are you at a startup working with it?

Highly disagree. The commissary on most military bases are awesome. Spent most of my life going there with my parents. Not sure where you heard they were bad. Never got that impres…

I stopped using eza and lsd in favor of aliasing nushell's ls command. I guess it's not worth the entire dependency of nushell if you don't see yourself ever dabbling with it in ot…

The biggest benefit is multiple cursors. The helix and kakoune multiple cursor implementation are probably the best in any editor. It just goes hand in hand with selection first.

My work setup is simply too complex and uses too many plugins to work in Helix as of now. For all personal work and just quick text editing I use Helix. If I could use Helix for ev…
