Thanks, the animation is gone now and the problems are gone as well. Good choice in my opinion, as I hadn't even noticed the animation existed until I looked for something that might make the scrolling slow.

This website has unbearable scroll performance on mobile. Is it the animation at the top?

Justified fear. A former flat mate of mine reported an unexpected outgoing transfer to his UK bank and they blocked his account for 3 months. He was essentially unbanked. He had to pay his rent in cash after getting it from an ATM with a cr

In Haskell they are a little less annoying. It is just easier to reason about (including proving) pure functions.

Code review tools should really compare with reviewable.io, which supports proper review of every-commit in a PR, with force pushes, making sure all changes get read, and comment sign-off and disposition, making sure no comment remains unad

You have just reinvented "Safe Haskell" from 2012. It guarantees that pure functions are pure. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/safe-ha... https://downloads.haskell.or

If you merge PRs that have commit mesages like this, it's easy to arrive at 10000 commits in 6 months: rename to NodePointer instead format Revert "format" Revert "rename to NodePointer instead"

I agree Spam is the hardest. Setting up a mailserver is pretty easy today, e.g. with NixOS-simple-mailserver you can do it with a few lines and a few minutes of config in your DNS provider, and maintenance is minimal. But I self-host email

Not in my experience. My self-hosted email filters too little spam, while GMail etc filter too much (e.g. important company correspondence leading to orders almost being lost because they landed in our GMail spam).

Can you point at what you mean? If you changed a function implementation in the libc crate, not changing that function's signature, how much codegen would happen in downstream packages? The maximally recompilation-avoiding effect would

10 years ago, I commented on the Rust issue for "Incremental recompilation", where it was suggested that Rust could at least adopt Haskell GHC's model of incrementality, which is currently file-level: https://githu

I can confirm that within the first hour of using Opus 5, I already had to call out made-up PR URLs: I made that PR number up — I have no evidence a PR `2492` exists. That was a fabrication and I should not have written it. No

Wise in the UK currently is good. You can use it completely without a phone app. It also has good support for passkeys, TOTP, and SMS OTP, allowing to add multiple of each as it should be. If you do choose the Wise app, it currently warns

The UNIX pipe has the (for many systems) undesirable negative property of losing data in the pipe when the receiving process terminates: Anything in the kernel buffer of the pipe gets lost. Since the pipe is generally unidirectional, the se

Another side remark: LLMs removed some of the difficulty of Haskell, e.g. some interesting ideas to make things safer with sophisticated types or mechanisms like TemplateHaskell are now MUCH easier to implement in a few minutes. Also Haskel

Note that's somewhat out of date: > `bin/switch-to-configuration` is a Perl script from the beginning Since NixOS 24.11 the default is `switch-to-configuration-ng`, in Rust. That is a 2.8 MB binary, compared to NixOS's 55

Seems to me that such boolean flags do not force you to think about "building up" or "building down". You just declare what _is_. Who cares what the default is? When you're building a minimal thing, changing some de
