Just speculating, but I suspect Apple are releasing this because Jony Ive and OpenAI are working on something similar.

Elixir concurrency feels like magic with async_stream https://elixir.hexdocs.pm/Task.html#async_stream/5-options

  [
    "https://httpbin.org/delay/1",
    "https://httpbin.org/delay/2",
    "https://httpbin.org/delay/3"
  ]
  |> Task.async_stream(
    &Req.get!/1,
    max_concurrency: 3,
    ordered: true,
    timeout: to_timeout(second: 2)
  )
  |> Enum.to_list()

WhatsApp status could also work

I remember reading that in early versions of Python there was no built in True and False. Each user would implement this themselves as

True = 1

False = 0

then later these got added to the language. In Python 2 you could still reassign and swap them so that 'if False' was actually true!

True, False = False, True

Python 3 you could no longer reassign them.

I stopped my 1Password subscription last year and started using Apple Passwords. The user experience is great if you switch to Safari with fingerprint login.

My favourite is this disclaimer in the question. lol

When visiting Ayers Rock in Australia I stayed in Alice Springs. While I was there I learnt that Alice Springs exists because it was a repeater station for a telegraph line that stretched from Southern Australia all the way to London. There would be people listening to morse code, and tapping it out again to the next repeater station. Blew my mind that there was a wire that went all the way to London from Australia!

Can anyone recommend a native macOS app with a calendar like this that supports .ics calendars?

Bitcoin doesn't take into account that humans are forgetful.

If you forget your bank card pin code they would post you a new card and pin, if you phone them up. I've done this a couple times in the past pre-smartphone banks.

If you forget your bitcoin password you are never getting access back.

Does Elixir have any footguns like this? As it is immutable I don't think any of these are possible.

If you imported from Safari/Chrome in the onboarding. Go to Settings -> Personalization -> Browser Memories.

It has summarized my browsing habits and interests. Very impressive.

I did a speed awareness course as I got caught speeding and was told if there are lamp posts the speed limit is 30mph unless stated otherwise.

Crunchbang was such a good distro! I ran linux for about seven years. Ubuntu and then Crunchbang. Had my 2012 MacBook Pro dual boot into Crunchbang. Battery life was awful. It had no automatic fan control, so the laptop got so hot I could barely touch it. I ended up writing a bash script to manually control the fans using function keys https://gist.github.com/nwjlyons/b29ee6f7e26595f55a2a

As cool as it was, I can't be bothered with any of that these days. Just give me a Macbook Pro, as I know it will work and have amazing battery life!

Golang will panic with a runtime error index out of range if you index out of bounds. There doesn't seem to be a nice built in way to do `arr.get(3)` like in Rust.

    slice := []int{1, 2, 3}
    i := slice[3]
    fmt.Println(i)

Curious to know what people are building where you need to optimise like this? eg Struct Field Alignment https://goperf.dev/01-common-patterns/fields-alignment/#avoi...

> really hard to cultivate a community of people who have a deep love for something, but for some reason can't see what is actually wrong with it that drives ppl away

Elm is another example

wow.

You still need to be careful, as this won't catch panics from go routines launched from your http handler.

I looked at the Apple watch but choose Garmin as it has a physical button to start and stop my run. I don't know if this is still the case but with the Apple watch I think you have to tap the touch screen. Takes too long, especially when every second counts on a 400m lap round the track :-P

Cognitive load example in Go. It is common to give variables single letter names. Now you have to build up a mapping in your head that for example `a` means `Auction`. You could skip this mapping if you just named the variable `auction`.

Yep, Django's on_delete behaviour being implemented in Python instead of SQL has caught me out a few times over the years.

I often do `on_delete=models.DO_NOTHING, db_constraint=False` and add the on delete cascade constraint manually to the migration file. https://stackoverflow.com/a/78668897/288424

Same goes for `default. Prior to `db_default` I'd often edit the migration file and set the default in SQL.

I much prefer Elixir's Ecto now.

I recently started learning Swift and Swift UI and was surprised at how complicated the language is. Especially regarding reactive instance variables. eg. @observableObject. Didn't understand it. There are like five different ways to do it. Ended up playing whack a mole until it worked.

    get_in(x.a)

better example would be nested.

    get_in(x.a.b.c)

Nice feature in this release is the addition of `get_in/1` which works with structs. eg. `get_in(struct.foo.bar)`

If `foo` returns `nil`, accessing `bar` won't raise.

Here is the roadmap https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/main/gradual-set-theoretic-types.h...

The next milestone will include a mechanism for defining typed structs.
