Hi there. There are lots of phrases/patterns that Claude always uses when writing and it was very frustrating with 3.5. I can see with 3.7 those persist. Is there any way for me to contact you and show those so you can hopefully address them?

Firefox 84.0 6 years ago

Additionally we'll ship an accelerated rendering pipeline for Linux/GNOME/X11 users for the first time, ever!

Same as the others. Using antergos/manjaro as my daily driver on different machines ( PC/laptop/server ) for 4+ years now, and I am more than happy. I used ubuntu, xubuntu, elementary, mint and others before. Once I found antergos I stayed with arch-based distros.

Quick releases of new software is amazing. I've had very few issues and when they are appear it's usually solved within hours. I love the rolling updates, and the wiki is really helpful and easy to read/navigate most of the time.

Elm 0.19.1 7 years ago

I just think that those "negative" points are misleading. It's fine to be new to something and explore it, but don't write negative comments before you get a good grasp of the pros and cons.

has given the Elm community a bad reputation

The Elm community is actually very welcoming. Not sure where you read about that reputation. I was also struggling a lot when I started, and the slack channel is extremely helpful. So you can go there, ask those questions and see if the above are true or not.

Not sure how to address them in a more constructive way.

Elm 0.19.1 7 years ago

The language doesn't have component composition

Of course it does. Exactly like React.

It's complicated to implement routing and to build a Single Page Application.

not really. It's part of the core libraries in 0.19. Probably simpler than the "react-router" alternative I suppose.

It's a pain to parse JSON

Probably for a beginner. But once you learn it once, it's trivial to handle most JSON cases.

Elm avoids HTML

The opposite, the libraries are almost 1-to-1 mapping to HTML elements, so it's as close as it gets.

I think it's too academical and not really practical for serious projects.

Most definitely not the case.

Been working with Elm on so many projects the last 2-3 years. I don't think any other js-based framework can reach the benefits that Elm brings. Correct, readable and sane code at scale. And, like others said, makes front-end coding enjoyable and confident.

JS is a scripting language, good for small and quick scripts. Shouldn't be used for anything more than a few hundred LOC.

So sad to read this.

Been using antergos on my pc and laptop for couple of years now, best distro I've used.

Is manjaro now the only alternative for a simple arch setup?

Most of the world runs on patrongage, or 'clientism' as you call it.

It's not black and white, for sure. I lived in Greece until my 27, I had the unfortunate idea to even invest and open a business in Greece, and then I left and worked in Germany and UK for the next 6 years as a software engineer. Yes, the difference is immense. Cannot emphasize it enough. I'd never go back if things remain as they are.

You're welcome to go live and work in Greece, then tell me if "clientelism" is the same everywhere.

Clearly, an illiterate person is not going to be the Director of whatever, but someone who is intelligent, a good communicator and politically suave can go very far.

You're in for a big surprise...

She wants to abolish Greek clientelism. Although every politician has promised this since taking office, none has succeeded. For centuries, the Greek administration was little more than an excuse for legal nepotism. Clientelism was the functional principle of society. Its roots reach into the Ottoman era, when clan leaders represented the Greeks to the Ottoman authorities, and they have continued to this day. Jobs in the administration served as a reward. Relationships were more important than skills for filling official positions.

That's Greece in a nutshell right there. Skills were never relevant, and still aren't. It's all about who you know, and what political leverage you have. The results are there for all to see. I left Greece 6 years ago, and unfortunately whenever I visit, nothing seems to change.

No one claimed it's perfect and bug free. But let's compare it to any js stack with thousands of libraries in the project's `node_modules` directory, written by thousands different contributors. That's what Elm is replacing.

Agreed.

But the main thing to check first is : are there many bugs? Struggling to find any. On the other hand in js...

I suppose it's more of a perception thing. We are used in js-based projects to have a lot of bugs as a given, so plenty of updates is a good thing.

Why is the pace of releases an important metric for using a programming language?

Focus on code quality, and maintenance simplicity.

If anything, being able to use the same version for x years and having it be consistently better than any JS library/framework I used, means that the work done is of high quality.

Maybe you should watch Evan's talks from various Elm conferences ( search on youtube, for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGlzRt-FYto ) He addresses that concern that some people have, and why it has the pace it has.

As I understand it, it's better to do things right and take as long as it needs, rather than hurry and ship fancy things just to ship them.

Elm is perfectly production ready as is, and beats any JS stack for me. Both in code quality and maintenance cost.

I'm about to get a new laptop. I had an MBP for 4 years now. I just ordered the Razer Blade 15. DELL's XPS 15 is also a very good choice, although the blade has a bit more recent hardware. Both are upgradable. You can add RAM or SSD if you want. Both run linux just fine.

I just meant the interpretation of the data is not fair if you say "not many practical applications are made with Haskell, so it's not a practical language".

So yes, collect the data of "how many practical applications are there in X language", but also collect the data that show why X language is picked, and the results ( quality, bugs, maintainability, etc ) That's very hard to do though.

movie-monad is my daily video player now. https://github.com/lettier/movie-monad

Still, I don't think it's a "fair" question, because the main reason there are not many practical applications written in Haskell, is because companies prefer dynamic scripting languages. They do that to "get things done" or in other words, ship fast a product full of bugs.

Just yesterday a friend was showing me the video where his white Mercedes was stolen in London in the exact same way! I guess someone made good sales on those relay boxes...

i3wm is indeed amazing.

Good article. Just turned the dwm off at the win7 machine at work, and it's like a free hardware upgrade! Everything is more responsive.
