You want to avoid garbage collection because you think it is slow (it isn't). I want to avoid garbage collection because I don't know how to implement a world-class garbage collector. And I don't have time to learn. We are not the same.
Leng Jun's 2004 oil painting is considered by many experts to be 'the painting that surpassed the Mona Lisa' and one of the most hyperrealistic works ever created!
When you get protested by the Westboro Baptist haters, you respond with the truth of Jesus’ love. “God shows His love for us in this: that while we were still sinners, Christ died for the ungodly.”
Day 3 of learning EffectTS. This website is really nice for visualising the different methods in Effect. effect.kitlangton.com
I had some fun with @EffectTS_ today. I made some visual effects, if you will, written in Effect + React.
Hey, Scala CLI v1.8.4 is out! 🚀 And with it, the publish sub-command support for the new Sonatype Central Portal. You can publish to Maven Central with Scala CLI again! That, and some other fixes, updates and improvements: github.com/VirtusLab/scal…
Hey everyone! My dad, the great @RonPaul, will turn 90 on August 20. If you are one of the millions who admire him, please send a card or note to the following address: P.O. Box 1776 Lake Jackson, TX 77566 I know he would enjoy hearing from you!
Debanking is not a small problem indeed. It needs to be addressed by libertarians and free market conservatives at the theoretical level, which I will do in my next book on a libertarianism for the 21st century.
11/ This is not a small problem. Stripe handles more than a trillion dollars in payments every year. Millions of businesses rely on their tech. If they can put a “hold” on my money for no reason, they can do it to anyone. Is that the plan @patrickc?
I mean, yes, it took me to church, too, but this is a little on-the-nose.
Hans Zimmer’s Interstellar soundtrack being played in Cologne Cathedral.
Obviously, @BenStiller didn't get the memo.
Robert Eggers, director of The Witch (2015), says his number one tip for screenwriters is: never put a goat in your movie. "You can't train a goat, the goat was a fucking nightmare"
'water is transparent only within a very narrow band of the electromagnetic spectrum, so living organisms evolved sensitivity to that band, and that's what we now call "visible light". ' (found via HN)

2 days, and already living his best life.
Morning walk with a 2-day-old cute donkey.
"She's not my type": Hurtful. Global. Uninformative error message. "She's well-typed, but not in my context": Scope-sensitive, actionable, with stack trace.
A powerful combo: Effect RPC + TanStack Query. A year ago, during his internship with us, @ethanniser implemented (among a bunch of other amazing things!) an @EffectTS_ wrapper around @tan_stack Query. We haven't looked back since. It's handling queries and mutations in a fully…
Linear logic is simultaneously high level and low level. Which is why it's a good foundation for a programming language.
I see it like es2015 when it came out and you had to compile it to run it anywhere: it's just JS a few years down the road. Only JS has left the road and is looking for mushrooms between the bushes while TS is like "are you done yet? We should go!"
Remember clean crisp pixels in games? Pepperidge Farm remembers. #gamedev
Is there an even darker horseman that you can remember? 🤔
