The PureScript 2022 Survey is LIVE! https://t.co/IydbOQJLLs. From PureScript pro to PureScript newb to "I've never heard of PureScript", this survey's for you. Please fill it out!!

@norootcause IMO upstream and downstream is about data flow, not call directions. A is downstream of B assuming the data flows back through A.

Test Driven Development (TDD) is defined as

1. Write a failing test
2. Write the minimum code that passes the test
3. Refactor, keeping all tests passing.

What are the alternative methods?

Well, that's a complicated question. Alternative to *what*?

#TDD

@adironduck I got the Redox from Falbatech for this exact reason - my hands are small and the Redox is a bit more compact (and has slightly fewer unnecessary keys overall). I might go even more minimalist in the Minidox or Iris direction next, but the Redox has been great despite small hands

Most devs never rise beyond misrepresentation, and actually condescend to prove, to discuss, to argue. How different from the temper of the true thought leader, with his frank, fearless statements, his superb irresponsibility, his healthy, natural disdain of proof of any kind!

@luotojesse @Nordea_FI Danske Bank's Android app would be alright if they would just name it, I don't know, "Danske Bank" - for some bizarre reason they assume that they are the only bank a user will ever use (the "Mobiilipankki" app) so I can never find the app.

@SamiHonkonen Flexcil is pretty nice for reading PDFs and scribbling notes on them.

The web was accidentally built to enable a default of "allow tracking everywhere without user consent". Naturally FB and others took advantage and even feel entitled to it now... despite no public discussion or informed consent. But there's nothing innate about that default.

@cvlad Will take a look at this, I love this format for getting feedback.

@thomasmarsh @puffnfresh @devoncestes @GabrielG439 Or, if this response actually does suffice for the purpose of this argument, then I suggest giving PureScript a try (or Haskell, which would work similarly).

[Nicholas Kariniemi @nkariniemi]

@thomasmarsh @puffnfresh @devoncestes @GabrielG439 Of course you could rewrite the example to accidentally multiply instead of accidentally subtracting. And I think it's trivial to come up with examples like this for any type system you could come up with (which makes the argument a bit empty as a single-tweet argument).

[Nicholas Kariniemi @nkariniemi]

@BartoszMilewski This would be huge. Some game environments have this, and it's just a question of conferencing adopting those modes (or being held in a game)

This tweet made me wonder: if we actually printed the dependencies of a "hello world" create-react-app app, how tall would the stack of paper be? Let's calculate. https://t.co/ENtKbtNdFL

[Nicholas Kariniemi @nkariniemi]

@Dreat_ In most cases it's straightforward. Some cases might require more understanding of how PureScript works. I wrote a bit about it here: https://t.co/K2eXI0ZxzD (though some details are out of date).

[Nicholas Kariniemi @nkariniemi]

@mhjort Miro is pretty nice for this

[Nicholas Kariniemi @nkariniemi]

@dmjio @paf31 @jamesdbrock @tweagio I've been working on this, and it feels like it's coming together nicely: https://t.co/xCQmAjleFt

I just released v0.3.0 of Payload, an HTTP server and client library for PureScript. It has a few interesting ideas that I hope make it easy to write simple, solid, type-safe PureScript servers and clients. Give it a look and let me know what you think! https://t.co/xCQmAjleFt
