Hi, thanks for answering :) > Collection expressions made the language more coherent. Instead of 7 different ways of doing things (some of which were genuinely not efficient), we gave one uniform way of doing it. I see your point on thi

AFAIK it was a much more down-to-earth thing. The implementation of computation expressions in F# compiled down to lots of function objects that were not very GC-friendly. Or something like that. To be honest, I never looked that deeply at

No, this is just a constructor call, it's purely syntax sugar for the new() way of doing it. > I'm also not sure that something not being intuitive or natural is necessarily a bad thing in of itself. You state it as if it'

I guess I overdramatized the situation a bit :) It's a passionate topic for me; as somebody who has been using C# at work for 10 years now, I'm just not happy with the direction the language has been taking. You're right, it&

Haha, yeah, maybe :) I would've loved an F# that found a way to improve on the performance issues, especially when using computation expressions. That and, either, a deeper integration of .NETs native OOP subtyping, or some form of OCa

I'm 100% on board with the [] syntax. I'm not on board with adding the syntax for passing arguments to the constructor within that syntax. I agree that = [] is perfectly fine syntax. But I would definitely argue that: [with(capaci

Absolutely agree. Modern C# language design feels very much lacking in vision or direction. It's mostly a bunch of shiny-looking language features being bolted on, all in ways that make the language massively more complex. Just look at

Oof, that's disappointing to hear. Thanks though, that's actually quite interesting. I'm also thinking of keeping an android phone purely for auth purposes, separate from my main one. The world's most overengineered (and

Will eIDAS be the only way to identify yourself in cases where it's needed, or will we be able to user other mechanisms like the german ID card stuff or an entirely separate alternative? Or to put it another way, is a smartphone requir

I'm not sure either. I've looked at this other document: https://bmi.usercontent.opencode.de/eudi-wallet/eidas-2.0-ar... It seems to imply that the already existing way of authenticating via eID, which is the

Because there are other factors at play. No-till is mostly about sustainability of farming. Humans often don't optimize for the most sustainable option but for the option that's most profitable (or perceived to be most profitable)

Oh, great to see this on HN! I found Filmulator a few years ago and used it for most of my raw photography (which, admittedly, isn't a lot) and found it amazing. Exactly what I wanted. Streamlined, easy to get into, fun. And I really l

There's a difference between web technologies and "the web" as an amorphous philosophical construct. Web technologies, as you stated, are obviously doing just fine. I'd argue the latter isn't. To be more specific, t

Yup, definite recommendation for Turing Complete. It looks nice, is really well done and very addictive. Also, it's on GOG ( https://www.gog.com/game/turing_complete ) which is always nice.

Not a question, just wanted to say I'm a big fan of your blog and have been binge-reading it in recent times. I really enjoy the way you explain concepts like transistor types, digital logic and chip design in a way that even somebody

Fancy. Think I'm gonna go with a traditional bridge for my usecase, but this looks pretty cool. Maybe I have some other uses for it for other applications. Thank you :)

I always assumed that the VPN connection is shared by many HTB users, so it seemed like a good idea to be a bit paranoid about the trustworthyness of a VM that is reachable by lots of users that may want to mess around. Maybe I was wrong ab

Alternatively, just let people mod their games as they please. I see your point and you're not wrong, but people have different priorities and playing video games is a hugely subjective experience anyway. Yes, adding a sentence or two
