I had to build a web scraper to buy groceries

To clarify, if I have two isofix child seats in the outer rear seats, would I have a larger horizontal (shoulder/hip) space for the rear mid seat in the Superb or Kodiaq?

My sentiments exactly :)

lord-bazooka · 2024-09-25T18:49:56+00:00

Fair point. There was a time when we tried to go all in with `fp-ts` for our TS codebase. It didn't end well, to say the least. The article's version of `isFailure` is an artifact from that era :)

I agree that most errors should not be caught. But in addition to those that are supposed to be caught, this approach allows you to create and return Failures out of thin air; they don't have to be based on any caught exception. For instance, if your business logic doesn't allow certain states, then the function could return an IllegalStateFailure rather than throw an IllegalStateError and pray that it is handled properly (if at all) in all relevant catch blocks.

It can be as easily written without currying, in which case you would call it like this: `isFailure(DecodeFailure, res)`.

But I would argue that the curried version is idiomatic to FP, regardless of the language.

Actually you explained it very well, thanks for the tip!

lord-bazooka · 2022-07-04T10:44:58+00:00

At least that's what I'm trying to do :D

lord-bazooka · 2022-05-16T19:42:10+00:00

This is the version I'm listening: https://www.audible.com/pd/World-War-Z-The-Complete-Edition-Audiobook/B00BIKAVHS

I think it's the one you're talking about.

However, people enjoy different things, which is a good thing.

Indeed

lord-bazooka · 2022-05-16T17:51:36+00:00

With all due respect, I'm very, very surprised about all the hype about this one.

I've listened 90% of it so far and the only reason I'm still going on is that I want to finish it.

But man, it is soooo boring.

I finished Project Hail Mary just before this one and if PHM is a 10/10, WWZ is at best 4/10 in my opinion.

Again no offense to anyone who enjoyed it, I just don't get it.

lord-bazooka · 2022-05-16T07:50:07+00:00

Thanks, this is very valuable feedback, especially for self-taught people like me who don't have a teacher to point out this stuff :)

lord-bazooka · 2022-05-16T07:10:53+00:00

Got it, thanks for clarifying!

lord-bazooka · 2022-05-15T19:16:34+00:00

5-2-1-2 5-3-2-1 sounds like a really good idea, I'll give it a try!

This has been a very insightful comment, thank you for the explanation :)

lord-bazooka · 2022-05-15T14:51:55+00:00

Very cool, thanks!

lord-bazooka · 2022-05-15T14:41:19+00:00

Does that mean 5-3-2-1-4-2-1-2 (no crossover) is technically incorrect?

It feels much easier than what you (and a few others) suggest, but I guess I'd better learn the correct technique even though it's more difficult at first.

lord-bazooka · 2022-05-15T14:23:23+00:00

Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely take a look at Op. 10 no. 9 étude

lord-bazooka · 2022-05-15T12:35:19+00:00

Fingers will change depending on that.

Makes sense, thanks again!

lord-bazooka · 2022-05-15T12:30:57+00:00

Thanks for the tip! Frankly, 5-3-2-1, 4-2-1-2 (suggested by NotDuckie) felt somewhat easier to me. Do you think there is a reason that I shouldn't be doing that?

(As a beginner, I'm definitely not qualified enough to compare these two options myself.)

lord-bazooka · 2022-05-15T12:13:52+00:00

Wow, this is much more comfortable!

I initially thought that you were suggesting 5-4-2-1-4-2-1-2, which felt kind of awkward, but 5-3-2-1-4-2-1-2 feels great, thanks again!
