If it could be repeated 49 times, that might start to add up a little

You’ve just given new meaning to the Bruno Mars song

Even Haskell is higher on the list than Go, which surprises me a lot

The connection is simply the hypocrisy of republicans who yell about AOC being underqualified, while being totally ok with someone actually completely unqualified.

That is just the tip of the iceberg:

This is exactly why it should throw an error, to make it incredibly obvious something isn’t working correctly so it can be fixed. Otherwise you have wrong logic leading to hard to notice and hard to debug problems in your code

Gabe Newell is not a video game developer

Yes famously all video game developers are billionaires

Of course they are made to cover costs and make money, but you can cover more costs for future games or ongoing development the game if more people are buying the game, even if it isn’t at full price

I would think it usually implies the opposite

Games on Steam are not usually recurring purchases, one person won’t buy the same product over and over like they need to for food. This means the market of people willing to pay the full price gets saturated over time.

Sales are a way to increase the market size by lowering the “barrier to entry” (price). Sometimes a price will be permanently lowered, however usually not because a temporary sale encourages people to buy now instead of later.

The hate and down votes are not for having an opinion on the language, they are for self-righteously proclaiming that opinion in inappropriate places. Someone sharing a cool project they made is not the place to start gatekeeping their choice of tech. That’s just being an asshole.

This is close, but as someone already said, an index into a list just means you are mutating the list.

Your stable “identifier” needs to be a function, ie. a reused design pattern. Compared to the list, this would be an index function which gets an element from an arbitrary list, meaning you don’t have to mutate your list anymore, you just build a new one which still works with your function.

This is why languages which avoid mutation and side effects are always (to my knowledge) functional languages.

Did Codeberg do something/take some stance to attract the attention of the far right? It feels like such an arbitrary target?

It also means that more people have to be willing to sell (or that if only a few sell, investors hold less power)

Of course everything a company does is in the best interest of the company. Even as simple as “let’s make excellent products with lifetime warrantees” benefits them by making people want to shop there.

But that doesn’t mean it isn’t a good thing when companies realise the customers best interest are also their best interest. We should encourage that, not scoff at it.

I know right, while reading it I kept thinking “I can totally see how people might start to believe these models are sentient”, it was fascinating, the way it was “thinking”

The second syntax isn’t actually enums at all, it’s closer to a union type definition. You can’t even define enum Colour = Red | Green | Blue using your second syntax.

Forth is fairly different AFAIK. If you want a “Forth style” language for general purpose, with more “batteries included”, try Factor! It’s a really nice language.

And the soundtrack is great too
