When I learned Haskell in college I was blown away by how laziness enables cool things like dealing with infinite lists or more performance even though the UX is exactly the same. (Apparently with Ruby there is the slight hint of adding the lazy method in between)

Later I found out laziness in the whole system by default leads to some difficult issues, which quite a few people seem to agree with. Simon Peyton Jones (Haskell co-creator) apparently has said "The next Haskell will be strict". (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14011943)

I have about 7 years of professional Laravel experience. I think it's quite slick! There is one aspect I haven't seen mentioned here that frustrates me: the community is quite eager to make new shiny things and forget about existing things. I feel the core framework doesn't get a lot of love anymore, and the same for some other packages. Something like Homestead got introduced as a huge thing, but got relatively quickly replaced with Sail and Valet it kind of seems. (Yes, they have a bit different corners, but I would say it doesn't justify a complete package) For authentication you have multiple packages that were introduced as the holy grail but now sit in an awkward spot with each other, and similar for frontend things packages.

Another small frustration for me is all the huge adjectives being used: - "Laravel Horizon provides a beautiful dashboard ... "

  - "Laravel Jetstream is a beautifully designed application... "

  - "Laravel Octane supercharges your application's performance..."

  - "Laravel Prompts is a PHP package for adding beautiful and user-friendly forms  ... "

  - "Laravel Reverb brings blazing-fast and scalable real-time WebSocket ..."

  - "Laravel Sanctum provides a featherweight authentication system ... "

  - "Laravel Telescope makes a wonderful companion ..."

  - "In other words, Valet is a blazing fast Laravel development environment ..."

I think it would we wise to do a bit of a cleanup and merging of official packages, and to not forget about the core framework. I think Symfony shows you can still do great additions even after many years like Targeted Value Resolvers [0]

You can see all the official packages clicking the "Ecosystem" button in the header of laravel.com

I'm wondering: IS there a way to get to that video from the linked tweet without being logged in? I could not figure it out.

Thank you for your service of providing the video.

Maybe it's the monday morning blues (can't seem to think), but how does this work for DOH/DOT?

I was curious about how an implementation for this would work and browsed the PR. Cool stuff, thanks for putting the effort in!

I noticed a very tiny typo which doesn't affect behaviour I think. https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/13257/files#r1464506...

In Europe there are a few options which let you pay with your bank account without a credit card. I tried to look up all the things Wise supports, found part of the list:

Trustly, Sofort, IDEAL

IDEAL is huge in the Netherlands for example.

I find it quite odd and funny that the author specifically mentions Google, and his script has a function `def google_it(query):` but then in the function he uses DuckDuckGo. Is the author ashamed, or does he expect people to not trust DDG?

I was curious about Mozilla's stance on the API. They have a GH issue for it: https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/677

but it's not finalized yet. View the very interesting dashboard here: https://mozilla.github.io/standards-positions/

I agree with my sibling comments, but want to add that nowhere does TS imply it has it's own stdlib or anything. If you type map, you know fully it's the JS map that's going to be executed. I don't think TS ever wants or could replace the JS stdlib.

Some people might not know this yet, the common idiom is to have the default value be None, and then start your function with checking if it's None and initializing to empty list.

This is very very similar to something developed by SIDN labs called "DNS Resolution Required", you can read the blog post here:

I thought it was from the React codebase, but it's differently named there: https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/b2ca3349c27b57b1e9462...

> WSL 2 will be available on all SKUs where WSL is currently available, including Windows 10 Home. > The newest version of WSL uses Hyper-V architecture to enable its virtualization. This architecture will be available in the 'Virtual Machine Platform' optional component. This optional component will be available on all SKUs.

I don't really grok this, does this mean Hyper-V will be available on Windows 10 Home? That's the only reason I am considering buying a pro license.

> we can create a mailbox via HTTP GET request to https://api.unverified.email/create

Shouldn't GETs be idempotent? (Sorry for not having feedback on the idea, skimming it it seems nice, though there is fierce competition as others have shown here)

Slightly offtopic: Why a git repo for a blog post? I guess there are some pro's: public history, PR's , but a blog has comments directly under the article for example. Forking is not expected. Ah well, extensive information anyway, good work :)
