I don't want to be on any of Elon Musk's platforms if I can avoid it. So, I'm not going to use Twitter anymore.
Twitter friends, please reach out to me by email.

And while we're being mad at software, I know I've railed against this several times in the past - but fuck this very much.

If you are a Haskeller and #Hacktoberfest is your thing, I welcome contributions to:
* nix-tree: github.com/utdemir/nix-tr…
* hs-nix-template: github.com/utdemir/hs-nix…
* ghc-musl: github.com/utdemir/ghc-mu…
All have open issues of varying difficulty, and docs updates also welcome!

This is true for white-collar workers too. Even in tech, employers are aware of this and use it to force the talent to stay with them at a low-cost, blocking the employee's career development.
My biggest mistake when moving to NZ was choosing this kind of visa.
Ricardo Menéndez@RMarchNZ
Labour needs to stop employer bound work visas if it’s serious about ending migrant exploitation, rather than stacking more ambulances at the bottom of the cliff. Employer bound visas create modern slavery conditions, and give employers massive amounts of power over migrants.

@sanityinc @WonderProxy Thank you Steve, it was a fun one!
About English-only audience, one interesting thing I found out is that `ca-central-1` has better scores for the entire US than either of us-east/west regions.
But I do wonder if this changes once we include Britain, AU/NZ or ESL-speakers.

👀 Interesting article from @utdemir on choosing #cloud regions ☁️ for lower #latency. Featuring #ping data from WonderProxy!

@chrislpenner If you end up having to implement your own pager, `brick`'s "scrollable viewports" might come handy: #g:12" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">hackage.haskell.org/package/brick-…
I was using a "List" behind a "viewport" and it was lazy enough to only calculate list items when they become visible.
English
I figure one option would be to spin up `less` and dump entries to it via stdin as fast as I can while listening for the process to exit early so I can bail if needed
Alternatively I can build my own ANSI pager in Haskell which I can stream to, but that sounds like a lot of work.
English
Anyone know a good way to stream lazily to a pager in #Haskell?
I.e. I can produce a list of expensive things one at a time, I want to only produce them as the user scrolls to the "next" one in the terminal.
English
@MedVocab TIL "nostalgia" is the same, comes from Greek "return home" + "pain".
English
The -algia suffix refers to pain, as in neuralgia or myalgia.

@korayal My initial attempt at moving to Mac was similar to yours, which failed.
This time I'm also switching to more ecosystem-endorsed tools. VSCode/iTerm, minimal tiling, overall fewer CLI's. I'm often not even using Nix if you can believe it.
To me it's pretty snappy.
English
@utdemir Been using almost the same tooling on both MacOS and Linux side by side on a daily basis, and I hate the former. The UX is laggy and a lot slower.
Maybe that's because I'm trying to use the same set of tools like Alacritty+tmux+emacs with a TWM
What changed in your environment?

Linux is great. But as someone moving to Apple ecosystem after using Linux on everything for 10+ years, developing on a Mac is surprisingly pleasant.
I do think the desktop is much more polished than any Linux DE, and every language I tried works fine (admittedly they have to).
Adam Dymitruk@adymitruk
Linux is best for dev. The Macbook is just hype and status branding with a lot of problems. Sad to see so many programmers waste time and money on Apple.
English
@adymitruk 2 months ago.
I do know that it lack the flexibility of Linux, but I found that the time I gained by using Apple-endorsed tools is much more than time spent having to workaround a couple of minor quirks.
Of course, everyones mileage might differ depending on their use-case.
English
@utdemir Not for docker, filesystem, multi monitor and many other. Depends how long ago you used Linux.

@BartoszMilewski Proposal. People should only turn vegan when `sha256sum(their name, current date) < average lifespan of cows in days / 2**256` is satisfied. We go vegan at the same rate that cows get killed.
English
I just realized that if we all turned vegan overnight, it would be a death sentence for a billion cows and 33 billion chickens. Maybe we should implement a more gradual approach.
English
I worked on this! It was so much fun to implement. @FFmpeg’s filtergraph language is one of the most powerful DSL’s I’ve ever worked with, and also very pleasant to use. Such a great tool.

@_osa1 It doesn't :(. I was imagining the same thing a while ago, and actually even started writing it (and life got in the way later on): github.com/utdemir/midye
If I recall correctly, extraterm.org was the closest one.

@Profpatsch Reminds me of the Hitchhiker's quote:
> The Guide is definitive. Reality is frequently inaccurate.
English
@lemmster I find assertions pretty useful in this regard. They are almost like runtime-checked comments.
My Python code is usually filled with assertions which makes developing on the untyped language almost as productive as typed ones on small codebases.
English
What are programming languages that put comments front and center? No wonder nobody enjoys writing comments when comments are treated as second-class citizens in programming languages.
English
Is there any over-the-counter medication (that is not a painkiller) that has any real effect?
English
This seems particularly beneficial for Nix-based projects.

@kaijuTheSnack At least this is as far as my dislike goes: It is not "that's ok, I'll write a unit test".
It is rather "I thought hard but couldn't come up with something more reasonable, so I have to write a unit test". Almost like a punishment :)
English
This. Removing similar looking code is the job of a compression algorithm, not the programmer. There are different things that look the same, and similar things that may look different. Only the latter requires an abstraction.

If changing X should change Y in the same way, then X and Y should share code. If changing X should not change Y in the same way, then X and Y should not share code. Duplication can cause bugs in the first case and prevent bugs in the second. It's a tactic. DRY is misadvice.
