@g_lebec I'm hoping we finally get digital backends for old manual cameras.

If the recent surge of polaroids is any indication physical media is having a bit of a renaissance.

@gin_n_jelly There's real ownership implications.

Still reeling over his sudden departure. I loved him since I was 14. Sadly, he couldn’t influence my primitive skills on guitar - but my hair style was all his. I fucking loved him!!!! JEFF!!!

@KarelGardas Fair point. I'm glad they work for you.

@deech Haskell/Rust vs Tcl/C is not only about safety but also about productivity and easy/comfortable code writing IMHO.

SQLite is incredibly dangerous because it makes me believe it's possible for me to write good software in Tcl and C.

@kmett @ChShersh @kotlin Thanks, sorry I didn't remember. It's been years.

@deech @ChShersh @kotlin That was actually covered later on in the monoidal parsing talk, IIRC.

When I was working at the @kotlin dev team, I remember it was a single person's full-time job to work on the design for multiline strings + interpolation. That's why I'm convinced that QuasiQuotes in #Haskell is the way to go. The design space is too big to bake it into GHC 🥧

@KarelGardas Build times, ease of deployment and design flexibility are as important to me as safety so not necessarily.

@deech Well, well, only if you are confident that you are as good as Dr. Hipp. Are you? And even if you are, then well, isn't it a waste of precious resources to write in C/Tcl when you can write in Rust/Haskell?

@ChShersh @kotlin @kmett Line comments seem ok. What's the problem?

@deech @kotlin @kmett I remember reading various blog posts on why block comments are bad (e.g. the one below). But still, line comments have their pitfalls too. It bothers me there's no good solution 😞 futhark-lang.org/blog/2017-10-1…

@kmett @ChShersh @kotlin If you take on layout blocks aren't you back to the complexity of parsing yaml?

@deech @ChShersh @kotlin If you have layout blocks (which can be parsed in that framework) then multiline comments or multiline strings can be tweaked to fit in that framework.

Per my last inshallah,

@lbseale_hs Aren't they also regulated? And in the US you need a pile of engineering certifications to practice.

So how to chemical companies handle this issue? The smart ones eat their vegetables. They pay their upfront costs. Their leadership understands that blowing up the plant costs more than maintenance. Eventually, managers of huge software systems will learn the same lesson.

The recent, public and huge software failures at remind me of a favorite topic: the parallels between software and the chemical industry I started my career at a chemical company, where I stayed for a short time but learned a lot about safety
