  • Beyond Lambdas: Raising the Abstraction Level of Functional Code

    Jump

  • Yes and no. I find short lambdas easier to read. In lisp you have flet, labels, which allows you to name the elements without introducing external functions.

    But of course there are cases where the proposed is useful, e.g. for reuse. I can imagine applyModifiers could be called in more than one place.

    Anyway, upvoted because it's an interesting discussion.

  • [Solved] Any opensource, themed CV generators out there?

    Jump

  • Since it was a while ago I've forgotten, but I think it didn't interpret the stylesheets correctly. I should probably recheck, because it may have been fixed.

  • Similarly to Onno, I write everything in markdown first, and convert using pandoc. Then I use weasyprint to take the resulting HTML with CSS applied on it, and generate a PDF from all that.

    The result is quite nice, and this system has served me for more thant 15 years. A friend working in HR shared that it does stand out, compared to most submissions.

    Here's a fragment of Makefile to summarize the concept:

     
        
docname=2026

all:
	pandoc -t html5 ${docname}.md -o ${docname}.html
	weasyprint -s ${docname}.css ${docname}.html ${docname}.pdf

  • Favorite open source game?

  • Oh it's on Android? Nice.

  • Favorite open source game?

  • Haven't played Unciv, how does it compare to Freeciv? If I see correctly, Freeciv is much closer to the original game, while Unciv tries to add some more "fun" features?

  • Oh man, this brings back memories. Used to play it in multiplayer with a couple of friends a lot at some point. Very well crafted, balanced game. The graphics are beautiful.

  • Selfhosted birthday calendar for the whole family?

    Jump

  • I'm sorry yeah, not sure which calendar program it was, then. Perhaps it was Davx5 + another calendar program. I tried a few, and several had issues with full-day events. (the events themselves seemed fine in the ical)

  • Selfhosted birthday calendar for the whole family?

    Jump

  • Been using Radicale for a few months now, I'm really happy with it. Granted, it's not the fastest with large scale updates (which don't seem to be OP's use case). On Android I settled on One Calendar. Tried a few other apps, including DAVx5, which had issues, I think with full day events showing wrong.

  • You go outside. You see this. What's your reaction?

    Jump

  • I thought the same before I saw the plates. It's everyday reality here 🥲

  • Which programming language had the best visualisation support?

    Jump

  • Svg support is also native, which is great for certain applications.

  • What if remote working, not AI, is to blame for weak junior hiring?

    Jump

  • We jad a junior to train while we all WFH, but he was a very receptive and smart guy, so it was kind of easy. The last stage of code review, we would go through all changes together in a meeting. I would explain the reasons something may be a bad idea (e.g. harder to maintain later on). Other things were also handled in meetings, so i didn't feel it too different from what I'd do in the office, such as designs/whiteboarding.

    This does require enough capacity from seniors, though.

    In short, it can work, though some people may prefer face to face contact, and the organization/availability has to allow for some hand holding.

  • Spring gyuvech (vegan)

    Jump

  • Oh yes, forgot to mention that. I don't like okra, but it is very popular in this recipe.

  • Simple margherita from scratch

    Jump

  • I don't really have the space for an extra oven (unless my wife wins over and throws away the air fryer). My friend got a wood fired furnace at his house, and the pizzas were sublime.

  • You are correct, thanks. Fixed.

  • These simple meals are so hearty. I love spring!

  • I was recently gifted a knife sharpener, so it's easier to be more precise when cutting.

    Where is API tooling lacking ?

    Jump

  • In emacs, there is http mode, and you can have http code blocks straight in an org mode document, it's amazing. And it works with the overall org babel system, so variables can come from other blocks, potentially in different languages.

  • Lini Wants to Be the Portable Workstation Developers Actually Carry

    Jump

  • I agree in principle, but shit happens, e.g. scheduling conflicts. In smaller organizations, sometimes it's the only way to unblock the team.

    Anyway, I could think of also checking out my personal servers.
