I believe you (other than tests being specifications, they are examples at best). But that doesn't change the fact that TDD looks more adopted in untyped languages, and that deserv…

I'm a Haskell bro and I love testing. You misunderstand me, though. All I say is that maybe _some_ of those tests deliver value by just making sure that code even runs, which is ot…

But they chose a solution (if I understand correctly), where tenant ID is not in the signature of functions that use it, either.

Thanks. This does sound like a state machine, though, but the devil is probably in the details. Yes, here Haskell is probably a bad choice, and something where direct memory manipu…

One exception for me about >>=, is instead of this: thing case thing of writing this: getThing >>= \case Not so much because it is less code, but fewer variables to name.

I do AoC in SQL, I wish it was true. With Postgres, you have lots of regex/string manipulation functions that make it easy. For me, the biggest problem was memory. Recursive CTEs a…

That makes no sense to me. If this coder has to access array by index twenty times a day, then he is going to remember it, eventually, no? If is it rare that he has to do it, then …

This news is about conscription they do twice a year, regardless of the war.

To be fair if your config is just a structure with strings then you declare your types only once, too. Minus the codegen, but also minus the editor integration. I'm not hating on P…

Oh, I didn't comment on the Pkl, just on the status quo. My bad for not making that clear. "Enough" is the keyword here, time will tell I guess.

It's nice, but it comes at a cost. For example, every user of toml forever will have to put strings in quotes. Why? Because having other types creates ambiguity, that is resolved b…

My take on this is that there is not obvious reason not to, but it just so happens that typed configuration languages are not rich enough and not integrated enough to be that usefu…

Yes, it's like the difference between adding a task in Jira vs in some todo.txt file. Slowness of the interface aside, you just have to do the whole ceremony for some simple don't …

Thanks, that might be just what I'm looking for!

We should ask them instead to modify the existing INI file. I bet most would do just fine.

I have seen this post on HN before and I wasn't received very well AFAIR. But I can't help agreeing with its main point: so much complexity to support a few basic data types that a…

I feel like natural joins simplify writing queries, but not exactly reading them (especially if you are not familiar with the database). IMO a good compromise is the USING clause, …
