@ewolff Both hard-core OOP and hard-core FP can get pretty dense. But I would argue that with a lightweight variant of FP (let's not mention monads) you can easier write decent code than with limited upstanding of OOP.
@ewolff easier to understand when learning / writing or when reading? I guess you meant the latter.
I personally like functional code for it’s purity and testability and try to use it wherever I can also in languages that are mostly known for OOP.
When it’s about complete applications written only with pure FP, I find it harder to understand, TBH. But maybe my brain is already wired in an OOP style…
Assuming you've already heard the big famous ones...
The Varangian Way by Turisas is a (surprisingly historically accurate!) concept album about Viking/Byzantine history that really deserved to be a full rock opera.
The Chronicle of the Black Sword by Hawkwind also doesn't get the credit that it ought to (but that might be just my general feeling as a Hawkwind fan).
a major problem of suburbia is that it has functionally pushed all of the vast open spaces for creative labor far far beyond the city to the point of inaccessibility to all but the most privileged city dwellers and suburbanites
this should not be seen as a luxury, it's an essential thing for people to be able to exist as indepedent tradesfolk. we should strive to build cities that enable people to be independent and exist outside of capitalist wage labor
you can do some of this in hackerspaces, but they're often so constrained in space that there are fundamental limits to what can be done, and they're few and far between. larger spaces are expensive and often outside a hackerspace's budget
I just heard a 25-year-old on a podcast say “Growing up, we didn’t have a TV…” and after a brief pause he finished the sentence in a way that made me feel every bit of the twice his age that I am, “in the car, like the rich kids did, we just had one of those portable DVD players.”
@jessamyn@overholt my mom was SO into seatbelts because in like 1950 she got thrown into the front seat by a very hard stop (no accident, avoided an accident, but still could’ve seriously injured or killed her and she carried that memory)
The only thing I need now in order to have the PERFECT #Linux battlestation is a decent GPU.
Holy shit, what I have missed #KDE Plasma. The cozy eyecandy just makes me happy.
:opensuse: Tumbleweed makes me feel at home again, it is almost giving me the same feeling that I had as a 9 year old kid, installing Suse.
Never thought that I would feel this happy about a computer ever again
@selea@joacim de var väl typ:
10 PRINT "JAG HETER NICKLAS"
20 GOTO 10
Lärde mig alfabetet via VIC20 och kunde läsa när jag började skolan tack vare den. Minns att jag var irriterad på alla i klassen som stakade sig fram ;)
Good morning to readers, Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.
Ukrainian clothes are undergoing a modern resurgence.
In the face of Russian aggression, designers like Anastasia preserve Ukrainian heritage through items like embroidered blazers, and traditional bags called taystras.
@timkmak My family still has traditional Ukrainian clothing and religious art that we’ve managed to hold onto since before the Russian Revolution. We still have a brass menorah dating back to when Ukraine was still part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
@hacks4pancakes Unfortunately, most cons currently out of reach for reasons this year. Maybe next year, if I have the opportunity, I'll have to catch it.
I still think it could make a good comedy panel at a hacker con, maybe as part of evening entertainment.
@hacks4pancakes Re retirement home - one of the bits of world-building I liked in “Hench” is the idea of superhero retirement homes and mention of how incredibly dangerous they might be. (Powers + dementia == bad!)
SwiftUI noob question: I understand why my ViewModel is being initialized twice, but why is it not being deinitialized?
It's created, then a second later when appState.show is changed, the view is recomputed, and view, and its ViewModel, are created anew. Cool! But why is the old one not deinitialized? What's holding onto it?
It’s surprising how many animals can act weirdly human. From territorial chimps to extroverted orcas, Live Science points us to 32 such animals that demonstrate humanlike behavior. https://flip.it/WyuSD1 #Science#Animals#Humans
@ScienceDesk@Hawaii humans are animals too and all of us arose on the same planet, with many of the same instincts and behaviors. we just forget about that most of the time. it would be super weird if we didnt share behaviors.
@johnnyprofane1@actuallyautistic@actuallyadhd I quite like it, especially the purple one. Purple also seems like a great color for something weird-themed. I love lizards, but only spotted the lizard on a second look - but that was fine.
What itches me is that the 'o' in 'of' seems to be smaller in size than the 'f' or somehow not aligned.
Druck auf Israels Premier: Netanyahu zwischen den Fronten
Auf der einen Seite Forderungen nach einem Plan für eine Nachkriegsordnung, auf der anderen Seite unnachgiebige rechte Minister, die von Diplomatie nichts halten: In Israel wächst der Druck auf Premier Netanyahu - nicht nur auf der Straße. Von B. Meier. Von B. Meier
@tagesschau Deren Plan war und vermutlich ist weiterhin alle in Gaza auszulöschen und das Land dann zu besiedeln. Das mit dem Besiedeln machen die rechten Anhänger schon in Westjordanland oft und gerne genug
