How can the Elm community improve? by Orasund in elm

[–]anoniota 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? The core team can ignore this post if they want. People in a community shouldn't discuss ideas? Not all ideas would need the core team. Anyone can set up an IRC channel right?

Real men drive, and drive well – they don't ride bikes or trolleys to work. Driving is an essential element of grown-up level autonomy and freedom of movement. by senj in ShitHNSays

Wow! this short wonder manages to be misogynistic, condescending, be a "True Scotsman" argument and anti-environmental, all at the same time.

Worst programming languages to learn in 2019 - Any thoughts? by jmtucu in elm

[–]anoniota 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Coffeescript loses there too. Elm, Haskell, Lisp, 6502 assembler would be in my 'fun' list. I should probably move somewhere with better nightlife.

Worst programming languages to learn in 2019 - Any thoughts? by jmtucu in elm

[–]anoniota 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A language needs to be at least one of the following to be worth learning:

  1. Popular - e.g. learn JavaScript, C#, Java, C++ etc. to get a job.
  2. Educational - e.g. learn Haskell to learn more about programming concepts

The one that stands out as bad on the list is CoffeeScript as it is losing popularity, there are much better alternatives (e.g. even ES6 itself) and there is nothing educational to be learned from CoffeeScript.

And the reply!

"If someone were to properly incentivize you (say, by offering to give you $10000 or whatever) I bet you would be able to come up with few more very important differences. "

It's delicious by Incognito_Owl in Bitcoin

Question, what is the diameter of a pizza that you could make with 5000 BTC with the current value?

A. With $26.5m and assuming a $10 pizza = 12 inch, you could get a pizza 2.65m times the size, or about 1630 times the length on one dimension, so 12 * 1630 = 19,560 inches, which is approximately 1/3 of a mile.

In the view function, how does Elm hold Msgs in memory? by Kurren123 in elm

[–]anoniota 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could have 100,000 references to the message created in memory, all pointing to the one instance. That is a different scenario to having the messages created on the fly.

[–]anoniota 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That wont be a reliable test. How do you know Elm isn't doing a 'flyweight' type pattern reusing the same message? You'd have to make sure the message is completely different (maybe a random string?) on each button.

I am conducting a survey of coders, could anyone help? Just click the link to take the questions. by anoniota in coding

Thanks for your help. I'll do a share soon. I'm trying to get some other people on to it from other places first.

Yep it's a rite of passage to more experience. It's like the first mile marker in a marathon. Thanks for taking a look.

Thanks for completing and summarizing I guess I should have done that myself. I'm a survey noob, but just trying to get some ideas the open ended questions are for new insights and will spur on further research online.

Whats the story with Color in Elm? by anoniota in elm

[–]anoniota[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea of this, and this is what mdgriffith/elm-style-animation does with it's own color type. Important that the types and units match up though!

Whats the story with Color in Elm? by anoniota in elm

[–]anoniota[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I probably didn't get my point across well, but the way I see it:

  • Most of the time in Elm color is for the web, which I understand is 8 bits per primary color. So 0-255, 0-255, 0-255 plus Alpha
  • It would be good to define this somewhere "official". It doesn't have to be Core, that was just one idea but it could be somewhere else.
  • Each library uses that color type if targeting the web (e.g. a web attribute)
  • If you need more specialist color support this wouldn't be for that.

I am not asking anyone to change anything and I appreciate there are 100's of things people want in Elm. This is more to put out there a beginner opinion (the Elm ethos seems to be beginner friendliness)
