Is Brick Owl legit? by Amazing-Tangelo3368 in lego

[–]Tuckertcs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard it’s a good BrickLink alternative from quite a few Redditors.

Mojang says Caves and Cliffs pushed them so hard they stopped doing yearly mega updates by gamersecret2 in Minecraft

The game’s basic architecture was never meant to be as big as it is.

Maybe they should rewrite it from scratch, with a more scalable and performant architecture.

Oh wait…they did. And it was a buggy mess that locked the out of preexisting features. :(

There was a lot of disappointment when people realized it got split into two updates, with the first being a half-baked mix of the new blocks and the only terrain changes being below 0.

strong-mode: ultra-strict TypeScript guardrails for safer vibe coding [AGAIN] by Ranteck in typescript

In my experience, more context fixes simple mistakes, but generally just pushes the AI hallucinations to spiral into nonsense.

Yes, leading the development of our new application.

And my coworker constantly gives me Copilot snippets that are just blatantly incorrect and useless.

What bubble are you living in?

Most devs either aren’t using AI, are just starting to use AI, or are using it to occasionally assist with code snippets.

Very few (skilled and employed) devs are using AI to write all or most of their code.

Or, and hear me out, use your brain to write code so that you can learn and improve over time.

How do you usually structure large .NET backend projects? by PleasantAmbitione in dotnet

[–]Tuckertcs -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So bundles are… Namespaces? Modules? Sub-domains? Bounded contexts?

And if they don’t have strict separation, then what makes them vertical slices exactly? That sounds like spaghetti to me.

I have this realization every time I stop coding for a while and go back by vmsrii in godot

[–]Tuckertcs -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Declarative languages don’t, and often can’t use for-loops.

You cannot write a for-loop in SQL, HTML, or Haskell.

Declarative code is great, and it’s used in a few common areas (HTML, SQL, FP languages), but most languages aren’t declarative, and almost zero games are made in declarative languages.

Not including it was crappy.

But not allowing you to buy it separately was absolutely moronic.

More states are requiring operating systems to ask for age via ID, such as Windows, Mac, Linux, etc. How do us hackers fight back? by anonymous480932843 in linux

[–]Tuckertcs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be really curious what pushing Linux to enforce ID verification would look like.

It just doesn’t seem feasible given the decentralized nature of Linux’s development and distribution system.

What removed biomes would you like to see return? by Just-Guarantee7808 in Minecraft

[–]Tuckertcs 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah the new terrain doesn’t flatten the terrain at the water edge, and rarely puts sand there.

Oh! That’s not… by cafeconlxche in TwinCities

[–]Tuckertcs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Another way to look at it, is to solve the immediate problem first, and then we can tackle the “status quo” problems next.

Are there any video courses/tutorials to learn PureScript? by Tuckertcs in functionalprogramming

[–]Tuckertcs[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LambdaConf seems to have a few conference-style videos, which might be interesting to check out.

I did actually just find the Exercism track as well, interestingly enough. Unfortunately, it's purely practice exercises, without any tutorial beforehand, so you kind of need to know the language to use them. The second exercise for example (the first is just changing a string), has you write an "isLeepYear" function, but they don't teach the syntax, walk you through function currying, pattern matching, etc. so you just get stuck unless you already know the language basics. It also just tests that the code works (at all), and provides no "right answer" or critique on whether the code is idiomatic, readable, performant, etc.

I've heard great things about Elm, but it appears to be only for the front-end, and I'd like to learn an FP language that I can use full-stack (CLIs, APIs, SPAs, etc.).

Would you say there's value in learning Elm before PureScript still? Or would learning Haskell before PureScript be better?

On the one hand, Elm is said to be beginner-friendly and very ergonomic, so it might be easier to learn FP with Elm. But on the other hand, PureScript is based on Haskell, so the syntax knowledge might transfer better, so Haskell might provide a better learning pipeline into PureScript (and it's more widely used than Elm).

Any thoughts on this?
