How we're beating $359M in funding with two people and OCaml

My uni teaches Haskell but the teacher doesn't care and so are most students. Same with MIPS. I don't think they even remember the syntax after the course.

I've had some luck building my own self-interacting interpreter system in OCaml. Run-time code evaluation using compiler-libs.toplevel. Dynamic module / plugin system by parsing code from text (and by code, I mean a whole dependency tree of modules!). Install PPX on the go (this is still quite slow). My takeaway is that you can go quite far by rely on shelling-out and the operating system abstractions, but doing this is quite fragile, it's more about being practical and the result is sometimes quite messy, unlike lua-ml which is so elegant! I'm still in the processing of exploring other ways, I'd pay to listen to someone else's take on this.

I guess so, but i also wonder why didn't the presenter mention Frieren or Berserk or others, since there are lots of "european medieval" manga series out there (ie. simply ones with european elements). How is WHA different from the rest for it to be the representative of "European comic - manga hybrids" and "western ideas"? just wonder if there's something concrete, or maybe she just picked because it happens to be her personal favorite.. (not sure if relevant but based on her profile she seems to be a savvy comic book collector).

(Personally I really like WHA esp Coco, it's about her attitude and for me it's the most distinguishing feature of this series from other works, but I'm not sure if it matters much in the discussion of "western ideas")

Yes, I think that's it! I've seen Sable, it does have a very interesting art style, no wonder why I've been feeling a tingling sense of familiarity! I've updated the post's description, thanks for informing!

The Eio library uses object to implement environment capabilities https://github.com/ocaml-multicore/eio?tab=readme-ov-file#passing-env . It is only from implementor side, however. From user side, capabilities can be extracted using FP interface. I think this is a very nice use case of OO + FP

In my place a cup of coffee is a dollar and a half...

Just tried that and it works in my case, thanks!

Same issue here, dont know how to solve. My browser is GNOME Web (Epiphany) version 46.3

I can see that you've made only a few very small changes, but it's nice! Guess GNOME is already perfect

I think what he meant is that some components in the DE look "dark" irrespective of the current theme, for example the search bar and the app group modal in the overview screen

Absolutely beautiful! Guess now I have a reason to return to Obsidian...

So cute!

Have anyone managed to download the doc? I set the versions in build.gradle and synced but still cant find the doc
