I'm on the more powerful the better side. So for me, Scala is the weakest type system I like working with.

Practically tho: aside from the issues you mention, the type checker for python would be a great aid for a broader range of developers than myself!

I don't think a powerful type system can be added to python effectively. Even more convinced of this after reading "minimize false positives".

Otoh, how strong of a type system is required for effective development? Probably what can be shoehorned into python tbh.

The budget required for some of these conspiracies is greater than, you know, just doing the thing.

Eg: moon landing. Faking everything that went into the space program would be way more expensive.

Sounds like they are developing win32 code. The resource id nonsense is very win32.

So yes: instant legacy code. Win32 is dead.

Yea i don't know what the above is on about. Social studies included civics and history.

Beyond All Reason is really interesting. There is a long history there! The engine was originally made to play Total Annihilation mods (or the full game? Not sure). That evolved over something like 15 years!

The end result though is not just a good open source game but a damn good RTS with an awesome scene. I <3 BAR.

Anyways, aside from fawning over BAR what's my point?

Plan for the long game: these projects can take a long time to gain traction.

That does constrain the optimizations to a profile determined prior to the end user. Which is hopefully the same but might not be. Shared code between applications also is a challenge.

I like to ask the posters like abo 3 "what is the role of the vice president?" They typically mhave no answer, make shit up, or propose things that are definitely not constitutional for a vice president. Then again, they want a dictator so the constitution has little to do with their reasoning.

Chaga? (programming.dev)
 

Never seen one that large if so

Part 0 of building a tetris game in Scala Native with GTK.

This covers the basics of setting up a nix development environment for scala native.

 

I'm using emacs + evil. With helm-mode. In the minibuffer / ex mode, if I type lsp then hit tab I see a list of completions as expected. If I type lsp- then tab the nothing happens. No completion list is shown. Nothing happens at all.

Strangely I thought this use to work but updating my packages one day broke this behavior.

Any ideas?

pixel fold review 6/10 (programming.dev)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Some great aspects coupled with a few terrible aspects makes for an average experience. Add in the price and pixel fold is only for enthusiast who really want a non-samsung foldable.

Take the form factor. For my large hands the size and shape both folded and unfolded is great. Almost comfortable to hold. If there wasn't such a strange weight distribution and odd placement of the buttons. The buttons are placed in the middle of an edge. Problem is that is typically where the edge of your hand would naturally be. You cannot hold the phone tightly because then the buttons would be pressed.

Speaking of which: the fingerprint reader. Power button fingerprint readers are a bad idea. Even with care this reader works probably 75% of the time. Hard to get your finger in the right position ; especially if there is a case.

The button placement is ok when you add on a ohsnap v3, however the weight distribution is bad. The issue seems to be the camera mass. The NSA level combination of sensors is really noticable. Not in a good way. The camera bump is awkward and the weight doubly so. Would likely feel a lot better with less cameras.

As for the cameras: they take pictures. I don't understand why anybody would want this for the cameras. They exist. They are heavy and weirdly shaped. Would be a better device without them. But hey, if you want an awkward camera I guess this would work.

Which brings me to the actual phone aspect. Uh. What can I sawly that is good about using this as an actual phone? There is Bluetooth so a microphone that works better than the tin can the phone comes with is possible. WiFi calling can, fortunately, be disabled .

The displays are bright and clear. I can use either on a bright day but the external display is definitely clearer. The internal display is shiny, very, very shiny. No way someone would intentionally make a screen this shiny. You could signal airplanes in case of emergencies I guess.

The software is truly a mixed bag. For the most part software works well with the different resolutions and layouts. Except google's software. The poor layout is really noticable in google's software. Either the entire screen is cramped with junk that leaves the usable area to small segment of the screen eg: google maps. Or most of the screen is effectively blank. Eg: gmail has over half the screen empty space. Non-google software works well.

Edit: reading over other reviews and some are even more negative on the software support. I really haven't had a negative experience overall. Maybe it's because of google's gmail being so wonky haha. Aside from those few examples, software support has been good. Most apps work well.

Battery life is ok. For my usage I haven't had troubles. Going a full day without a charge is unlikely if you use the main screen

Overall the Motorola RAZR is a better foldable. If you want a google phone and a large size, well this is the only real option. I wouldn't buy this again but I'm happy enough to use this as a daily driver.
