Either monad, perhaps the worst named monad:

@_Felipe Default arguments in python are "fun" that way, try having empty list as a default argument that gets modified and see what happens.

[Marcus Vesterlund @mzarcus]

Hot take: If someone says their code is opinionated, its a euphemism for inflexible code with lock in effect.

@stojg Highly recommend to leave the mouse alone and install i3-gaps instead.

[Marcus Vesterlund @mzarcus]

@stojg It could have been worse, you could have been typing ipconfig :) https://t.co/nstfVabXgG

@bernhardsson The things does not only require better docs, but a track record of being maintained for some time and dealing with bug fixes in a timely manner. Better maintaining my own code than having to fork an maintain someone else’s.

There are 4 behaviors that kill a partnership, team, or culture.

Understanding them has saved me millions of dollars.

Here’s what they are (and how you can avoid them):

@SebAaltonen Not having access to Mac at the moment, but perhaps typing `pbpaste | pbcopy` into a terminal would work?

[Marcus Vesterlund @mzarcus]

@_Felipe Don’t forget about upper_bound!

[Marcus Vesterlund @mzarcus]

@_Felipe I have been defaulting to Fantasque Sans Mono for quite some time now.

@bernhardsson It would not be as bad if the buildtimes where a lot shorter. Build times can be optimized for, but it requires effort. I believe tracking build time as carefully as code coverage would help incentivise developers to optimize for faster builds.

@volothamp Not sure of this is a pro or con argument for xml, but with xml you can code anything: https://t.co/7vrIVR4IkE

@rogueops @_Felipe I remember preferring pure Win32 API. I remember the MFC overuse of macros, like this: https://t.co/nJrJ908irF

Science, I love it! https://t.co/nO8h2X0I7q

[Marcus Vesterlund @mzarcus]

Can we think without using language? https://t.co/TmeowQ8nwy Of course we can! I'm surprised it has taken science this long to figure out something I know I do every day.

[Marcus Vesterlund @mzarcus]

@rogueops @_Felipe You joke now, but it was the sad reality for many developers back in the day.

[Marcus Vesterlund @mzarcus]

@_Felipe We should all use terminal based apps instead. They tend to be much more efficient, and we should think of the environment.

[Marcus Vesterlund @mzarcus]

@_Felipe Have you tried using TLA+? It’s supposed to be used to make a blueprint of the program you intend to write so you can test and verify the design.
