@tpolecat This is SO cool, thanks for sharing! Neat to see how many different problems all need to be solved well to make it work. 🔭

Wow cbc has a low bandwidth website and it’s so good. Loads nearly instantly, no ads, no images. Lovely.

This is so exciting. Typelevel in your JVM, your NodeJS, your browser, and now your bare metal!

[typelevel.scala @typelevel]

Several Typelevel projects have recently been published for Scala Native 🤩🎉😻 Read about what this means and how it works in a new blog post from @armanbilge

There’s also something to be said about covering the same idea from many different angles and with many examples. This is well covered in the Monad Tutorial Fallacy https://t.co/NiPoMGwJBA

[Andrew Valencik @Valencik]

Preamble to the section on classifying different trees: “To describe these differences precisely, the use of a certain number of special terms is unavoidable.”

This is the kind of honesty we should use in monad tutorials.

State management is hard yo, systems that can minimize how much state exists between deployments are so much nicer to work with.

Early career advice I took to heart: make state someone else’s problem.

[Erik Bernhardsson @bernhardsson]

My mental model for how I ship code used to be “I’m going to get this feature working locally and in unit/integration tests” but these days I think of it as “I need to get production from state A to state B in the least risky way”

[Andrew Valencik @Valencik]

Really excited to help the community that has helped me so much already!

@sam_spills @mat4nier Oh this seems very cool.

Yeah I bet Bryan and I would dig this.

[Andrew Valencik @Valencik]

@tpolecat I would pay money for this

[Andrew Valencik @Valencik]

@gregtomney quad up and join us

github copilot is incredible. it just sells code other people wrote, but because it's an "AI" it is apparently allowed to launder that code without it being a "derivative work". lol. lmao. what an amazing grift.

[Andrew Valencik @Valencik]

@mat4nier Please forgive my ignorance, what’s happening here?

[Andrew Valencik @Valencik]

@sam_spills It’s kind of surprising how bad the faces are. Kinda looks like flank steak though, so that’s a win

[Andrew Valencik @Valencik]

Y’all remember port 19 though? You open telnet with black background and green font in the school library and turn that Chargen stream into hacker credentials.

[Adam Rosien @arosien]

@rossabaker port 79 ✊

[Andrew Valencik @Valencik]

@davenpcm But definitely go for something fully split. It’s a game changer for should pain/tension.

[Andrew Valencik @Valencik]

@davenpcm Really like my ergodox. I’d probably grab a moonlander now if I was getting a new one.

[Andrew Valencik @Valencik]

@tpolecat My kinda party

@mat4nier Having nice appliances is the most compelling part of home ownership.

@ericpeters @tpolecat I don’t have great photos sadly. All I have is a 2011 potato-phone era photo: “apparatus.png”
