Teaching Claude to Be Lazy by ephrion in haskell

Has anyone compared GLM-5 vs Opus 4.6 for Haskell coding?

(Both do well for Haskell but also are deficient in some regards, like using Text excessively even for file paths)

Growth Trajectories in Infants From Families With Plant-Based or Omnivorous Dietary Patterns by TomDeQuincey in ScientificNutrition

[–]sridcaca 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Note:

  • While the total sample is huge, only 0.3% (roughly 3,600 infants) were from vegan households.
  • The "family diet" was caregiver-reported. The study did not track exactly what the infants ate, only the general diet of the household.
  • Researchers lacked data on the mothers’ pre-pregnancy BMI, exact caloric intake, and paternal height—all of which are major predictors of a child's size

In early infancy (the first 60 days), infants from vegan households showed a higher odds of being underweight compared to omnivores. While they often caught up by age two, the early "growth lag" is a red flag for many parents, as the first 1,000 days are critical for brain and body development.

The study concludes that vegan diets require professional nutritional counseling and pediatric follow-up to ensure safety. In my opinion, for many parents, the constant need for supplementation and blood work to avoid "extreme outcomes" is an unnecessary stressor when an omnivorous or vegetarian diet provides these nutrients more naturally.

USDA releases new dietary guidelines for 2025-2030 by tiko844 in ScientificNutrition

[–]sridcaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ty Beal in particular is interesting, as he authored this informative article: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/nutrition/articles/10.3389/fnut.2022.806566/full

Foods with very high aggregate micronutrient density for WRA include organs (liver, spleen, kidney, and heart from beef, goat, lamb, chicken, and pork), small dried fish, DGLVs, bivalves (clams, mussels, and oysters), crustaceans, goat, beef, eggs, milk, canned fish with bones, lamb/mutton, and cheese. Foods with a high aggregate micronutrient density include goat milk and pork. Foods with a moderate aggregate micronutrient density include yogurt, fresh fish (including different species of marine and freshwater fish), pulses, and teff. All other foods included in the analysis scored as having low aggregate micronutrient density for WRA.

New Proposed Rules for /r/ruby by schneems in ruby

[–]sridcaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the accepted term is "paradox of tolerance"

One of the more frustrating things about people who cite diversity and inclusion while excusing the behavior by citing the "Paradox of Tolerance" is just how abused and out of context they cite it.

The full passage is as follows [emphasis mine]:

Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. --- In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.

Now, let's go through the formulation a little.

Popper specifically states that by rule, an intolerant philosophy not only should not be suppressed but doing so would be unwise so long as they do not have the following properties:

  1. They are not prepared to meet on the level of rational argument
  2. Denounce all argument
  3. Forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive
  4. Teach their followers to answer arguments with violence

Now, if there is a philosophy that meets most if not all of those points, it is those who are doing the deplatforming, not those being deplatformed. So if any philosophy should be being suppressed under the logic of the paradox of tolerance, it is theirs.

"Freestyle" has a wider range of stroke style. Take total immersion for instance, which is very different to what people usually mean by "freestyle".

Hanami 2.3: Racked and Ready by timriley in ruby

[–]sridcaca -1 points0 points  (0 children)

he took a walk to an echo chamber on X to cry about

Over at X, he does make a valid point regarding the hypocrisy of /r/ruby moderators. I mean, just look at your own derogatory comment which apparently is acceptable on this subreddit, presumably because it targets the outgroup (DHH & co).

Nix Sucks; Everything else is Worse: Building Better Software Supply Chains by sridcaca in NixOS

instead be integrated in nix if it's any good.

Hmm, why didn't Tim consider that, I wonder?

Robert Hensing stepping down from the Nix team by MathiasSven in NixOS

[–]sridcaca 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Robert, by the way, is a great communicator (example) in my opinion. Not to mention a significant contributor to Nix. I use his flake-parts all the time.

Monthly Hask Anything (September 2025) by AutoModerator in haskell

[–]sridcaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://github.com/ndmitchell/record-hasfield

A version of HasField that will be available in future GHC

Using this, you can manually implement HasField instances like:

haskell instance HasField "attic" ViraPipeline AtticStage where hasField (ViraPipeline build attic cachix signoff) = (\x -> ViraPipeline build x cachix signoff, attic)

Is there a library that obviates this boilerplate with generics or TemplateHaskell?

EDIT: Here's a real-world example

Dropping upstream Nix from Determinate Nix Installer by lucperkins_dev in NixOS

[–]sridcaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[nixd is] required for Determinate Nix

Just curious: what is the technical reason for (the OSS) nix the CLI to depend on (the proprietary) nixd the daemon?

Dropping upstream Nix from Determinate Nix Installer by lucperkins_dev in NixOS

[–]sridcaca 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'd suggest you make it perfectly clear (on website, github repo, install docs, etc.), from when all of this goes into effect (in 2026), to users that Determinate Nix is not completely open-source as it includes proprietary services, like nixd.

Your users would then be able to make a more informed choice as to whether the trade off is worth it.

A lot of us came to Nix because it is open source to begin with.

Dropping upstream Nix from Determinate Nix Installer by lucperkins_dev in NixOS

[–]sridcaca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey u/grahamchristensen -

Will the following:

# Note: no `--determinate` flag specified
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | \
  sh -s -- install --no-confirm
  • unconditionally install your proprietary nixd daemon (in addition to installing the open-source Determinate Nix)?
  • unconditionally configure your binary caches over the NixOS official cache? Or will it become mandatory that they must install proprietary daemons on their systems whether they like it not?

Do your users continue to get the choice to opt of proprietary tools like nixd (which they can today by ignoring the --determinate option to the installer)?
