Maybe this is Dirigiblocks.

The show has an excellent sci-fi mystery at the core of it that keeps me going. It feels thoroughly designed in a way many television mysteries don’t, especially long running ones.

The #relatable office antics angle is certainly important towards the sci-fi mystery being told, but it’s definitely oversold IMO. Almost as if the main thing people liked about Twin Peaks were the romance subplots.

rot13 hint, pretty involved hint that doesn't literally say the answer but is one step away

10 was difficult in a different way than the prior puzzles, and honestly was a little chilling once I figured it out. Good luck, I'm sure you can get it!

I love the 38” 1600p format so much, it’s both wide and tall while still feeling like it’s a single monitor. I’ve heard though from friends in the industry that it’s not long for this world :(

In the US anyway, they're legally required to give you your prescription (SPH, CYL, prism, etc). However, PD and other ocular measurements aren't classified as part of a prescription.

I don't have a ton of Xcode experience, but from what I've touched, while it does feel good to use in terms of a "native" experience, as an IDE it feels lacking. Even basic things like the text editing experience feels limited compared to other IDEs (e.g. why is there still no auto-formatting built in? why can't I duplicate a line without having to use pseudo-Emacs movements?)

That's cool, didn't know that Apple didn't try to somehow shoehorn threads into SMS (like they currently do extremely poorly with tapbacks and stickers)

You only see the colors on messages you send. OP is implying that you wouldn’t know what “color” the conversation is unless you’re actively replying to the spammer.

What about Rust? Rust doesn’t go as in-depth as Haskell when it comes to modeling effects in the type system, but it still has a relatively complex type system on top of dealing with the borrow checker (which is almost as joked about as Monads at this point). Even with that difficulty, Rust seems to be a lot more successful than Haskell, and has existed for far less time.

If it’s because Rust is still mostly imperative, then you could look to Clojure or even Scala—less complicated when it comes to types, but also (usually) much less imperative. Both I feel are more popular than Haskell.
