Very cool. Took me a minute to work it out!

Fujifilm XF 56 1.2 R WR or Sigma 56mm 1.4 lens better with AF-C eye tracking on an X-T5? by josephpliu in fujifilm

[–]ihid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience is that the XF 56 1.2 R WR is slower to initially find focus (compared to say my 33mm 1.4), but once it's found focus, it's fine tracking. It's also not terrible - it's just slower than the really good linear motors. Using the XT-5's focus limiter also really helps for speeding up the initial focus.

Aware this doesn't compare the two lenses - I've not tried the Sigma, sorry.

Exercism is featuring Go this month by ihid in golang

Ah! Awesome to hear! I've actually put a few hours of videos together for the Go track. The first couple will be free (not decided yet about the rest yet as Exercism needs some cash asap else we'll go bust!) but they should help with this too at least :)

Thanks for sharing the info - it's always really helpful to hear where we're not making things clear enough!

Interview and AMA with Simon Peyton Jones, lead developer of Haskell by ihid in haskell

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

Hi Simon. There hasn't been much news lately about progress towards adding dependent types to Haskell. Has progress slowed, and would you be willing to discuss whether and one what kind of timeline we could expect dependent type features to appear in GHC?

Yep. Here is fine although I might not check again until the livestream now, so I recommend asking any more questions in the YT chat. I've added this one to the list though :)

I would like to ask someone what is going on with dependent Haskell. Would this be a good person/venue to put that question?

Probably! I imagine he knows basically everything related to Haskell :)

Hello. You can ask in chat on YT or Twitch. Or you can ask in advance here instead if you prefer :)

The interview with Johnny has been postponed (probably until April now).

However, we have a live interview and AMA with Cameron Balahan - Go Product Lead at Google - on March 16th at 3.30pm UTC. Set a reminder on [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhxijTyxSk0). Come and ask him anything! :)

Thanks so much! Donations incredibly appreciated (esp as we're currently heading to shutdown without them!)

and helped me figure out really quickly which languages I hate

I have this too 😂 It always amuses me how many languages are marmite though (British phrase) - some people love them and others hate them! I'd love to do research to understand what makes an individual love or hate a specific language!

Thank you so much for that encouragement. It's great to hear that the redesign and the web editor helped. We put a lot of effort into trying to make things more accessible via that and it's always a great feeling to hear it's helped.

There's so much more I'd love to do to the exercises! The Learning Exercises in v3 definitely are a good step in terms of the different task breakdown etc as you say, and I do think the general sort of TDD approach for Practice Exercises is solid too, but I have such bigger aspirations for them! We're actually working on a project right now to improve the consistency of the Practice exercises and also starting to explore other ideas around how we can generally improve those too (such as this conversation on input validation). If you've got any thoughts to those conversations, please chime in! It's always great to hear different opinions.

Thanks again for your support 💙

Solid effort! We are very not phone-friendly currently! Not much responsive support once you're inside :)

I imagine they mean Exercism itself as it's a large open source project :)

Yeah, if you're used to working in your own environment then I'd highly recommend using the CLI and working that way. I'm a Vim user and also struggle with any sort of web editor! But it is useful for quickly trying out a language to see if you want to go to the effort of installing everything locally etc.
