Broken clocks and all that…
Plutus, Haskell, Nix, Purescript, Swift/Kotlin. laser-focused on FP: formality, purity, and totality; repulsed by pragmatic, unsafe, “move fast and break things” approaches

Broken clocks and all that…
Much like the fediverse, we’re very early on that technology. We’re waiting for the network effect to take hold in both areas. Once it does, things will improve significantly, IMO.
Amen. I’d love to see Home Assistant start using it. I’m not holding out hope, though, because the guy behind Home Assistant is actively hostile.
RISC-V is an open instruction set, which should be what the Pi foundation (if their open source mission is to be taken at face value) would be switching to if they weren’t just a way for Broadcom to push their chips on the maker community under the guise of open source.
RISC-V, an open-source instruction set architecture (ISA), has been making waves in the world of computer architecture. “RISC-V” stands for Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) and the “V” represents the fifth version of the RISC architecture. Unlike proprietary architectures such as ARM and x86, RISC-V is an open standard, allowing anyone to implement it without the need for licensing fees. This openness has led to a surge in interest and adoption across various industries, making RISC-V a key player in the evolving landscape of computing. At its core, an instruction set architecture defines the interface between software and hardware, dictating how a processor executes instructions. RISC-V follows the principles of RISC, emphasizing simplicity and efficiency in instruction execution. This simplicity facilitates easier chip design, reduces complexity, and allows for more straightforward optimization of hardware and software interactions. This stands in contrast to Complex Instruction Set Computing (CISC) architectures, which have more elaborate and versatile instructions, often resulting in more complex hardware designs. The open nature of RISC-V is one of its most significant strengths. The ISA is maintained by the RISC-V Foundation, a non-profit organization that oversees its development and evolution. The RISC-V Foundation owns, maintains, and publishes the RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture (ISA), an open standard for processor design. The RISC-V Foundation was founded in 2015 and comprises more than 200 members from various sectors of the industry and academia.
They’ve been declining for years. It’s time the community ditched them for RISC-V machines.
Who the fuck cares?
Wanted to perhaps introduce you to using nix along with direnv and flakes to make your dependencies declarative rather than determined by factors beyond your control.
In my bash scripts, I often create a .envrc file that points to my flake and sits alongside the bash file. Then, when I navigate into the directory of the script/project, I can make direnv and nix automatically load all dependencies (which virtually guarantees them eliminating the need to check for them).
Looks to be heavily influenced by Unison. Personally, if this language can be a lightweight Haskell that has Unison-like features and can be used anywhere I’d have used Purescript, I’m really excited to see this gain popularity because Purescript has had major issues lately and I’m looking for something that can offer similar features without that headache.
Midi bytecode gets my vote.
He’ll only have himself to blame WHEN he loses in November.
FTFY
Corecursive is an amazing podcast about software engineering that transcends the genre, IMO.
My favorite episode is an interview with Philip Wadler, the most eloquent intellectual in the world of computation by a mile.
I’d definitely be interested.
I did something like this a while back when I attempted to create an official Cardano dev/Stake Pool operator machine. I ended up realizing that a whole config is too personal to try an standardize but parts of my shared configs DID help other Cardano devs and Stake pool operators get a rock-solid Cardano dev/SPO setup that could be cloned into a myraid of different types of machines and configs.
In contrast with the rest of this thread, this post clearly gave you exactly the out you were looking for. You seem like an incompetent middle manager looking for an excuse to fire this person. I’m so glad I don’t have to work for sociopaths like you.
Maybe they should move the capital back to Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya which was the capital of Siam for a few centuries. It was purposely placed with rising waters in mind.
Jumping ship for what?
It’s the right way to build an OS, IMO.
I’m totally committed to flakes as the right way to do dependencies after Docker got everyone doing it wrong.
I thought we all agreed on NixOS? ;)
It helps them ignore actually doing good things for their constituents. Identity politics is what fascists use to work voters into a frenzy to manipulate them into voting for them in order to sneak extreme corporatism into office.
