heck yes

Based on everything I know about Taco Bell not having ever the opportunity to eat there, it seems to me that it's mainly just that it's so greasy. Nothing has so far managed to convince me otherwise.

I can't avoid making up a conspiracy theory that QuickCheck library presently exists as an advert for QuviQ AB and this perhaps goes even further for the Erlang version. Good enough to become somewhat well-known and whet your appetite and then when you get serious, you need to bring consults in.

I was only testing simple mathematical properties (semigroup/monoid/group/Abelian group laws and involutivity) where generator specificity doesn't matter that much. The properties are so general that if a fault was discovered, it would taint a function for all inputs, even accidentally correct.

The one upshot of the whole shebang was that I got to reimplement some stuff as groups and I could just feel the power rushing through my veins ad hoc 'negation' functions into invert ones. Actually now I looked more into the docs and noticed that Haskell also has Abelian groups as a type class and I added them too to my types.

(It would be really nice if there was something that could automatize writing tests for common typeclasses. I have two types that have instances of semigroups, monoids, groups and Abelian groups and doing tests like I did means that testing their properties and a direct consequence of one took 14 tests which is kind of gross when you could write generic code.)

for what little its worth ive had an easier time using stack with haskell instead of cabal, but only because the book i was learning from used it. but googling for solutions to haskell problems has gotten more difficult now that there's two competing toolchains

I tried out Stack because there's some Emacs tooling around that, but the tooling was quite brittle which soured me a bit on that. There seems to be some amount of Stack related drama in the Haskell community and some people I've learned from have a strong distaste for Stack in favor of Cabal. I'm not in a place to know enough to switch and the problem wasn't really Cabal related. Rather it was, in the small, that the solution involved Template Haskell and sequencing IO actions both of which I haven't done before and, in the large, that no-one has bothered to write documentation or a tutorial on the bird's eye view of things. Or what a best practices could be, I'm not Haskell literate to just see what popular packages are doing.

It's definitely the main downside of all sports metaphors that interest in any given sport is widely variable

The reverse would keep pets well fed though

And if you then stumble upon Medusa, kids...

that's how this happened.

this was always such a shit meme, but honestly Ugandan Knuckles has overtaken it in how it annoys me. Also the meme shits on Wakaliwood, which is actually some amazing film making if you're ask my opinion. Want everything be covered in lava? They'll make it happen, even if it doesn't quite work out. Everyone in an Ugandan village knows kungfu? Well yes, though they might lampshade it.

Also all the '& Knuckles' memeing I've done, I regret it so much now, has Heaven abandoned me????

you can die from cat bites so be safe

I think that interfaces can be many and that's perhaps not the issue, even if the command line interface is clunky and more tuned to the particularities of Linus brain folds than anything else. Magit in Emacs is pretty great and I like it and there's no shortage of other GUIs for Git. But I feel like the basic model could be more, say, principled or elegant. I find it somewhat ludicrous that this book is 456 pages long.

This isn't just Git either, I really feel that a lot of utility software for coding has tons of usability issues and quite often it's not like the innards are any better.

After I had read this piece, I clicked on the author's name and was sorely disappointed that this was his only piece on Kotaku. Honestly I'll agree with a fellow commenter over at Polygon comment section: the best piece I've ever read on Polygon and basically set all the noodling around I've done in video games in a new perspective.

Honestly impressed, didn't know that could be done.

Git is still kinda gross

I'm eagerly waiting for a beautiful future system

The upside is that the design looks pretty kickass.

There's like a pretty long history of technological servants being feminine in one respect or another have these people never seen old scifi? It's hasn't ever been terribly #woke.

that's pretty cool if I had been more into anime it def could have been my avatar
