Yo. I think you can have two different comma placements, depending on whether it is a large [golden grandma's teapot] or large, golden [grandma's teapot], e.g., whether large modifies grandma's teapot or golden grandma's teapot as a compound.

In this particular case, you might imagine a collection of golden grandma's teapots, one of which is large-sized, or a collection of grandma's teapots, one of which happens to be large and golden. A good rule that I saw is if you can put "and" in there, you can use a comma.

There is no comma elision rule for independent adjectives AFAIK, if the adjectives are independent (e.g. independently modify one noun), it is exactly the spot where you use a comma.

As a kid, I didn't know what "wholesome" means, but I was rooting for David Coulthard because he was it. :D

Q3 Spoiler 

Purple all around on the softs for the two Mercedes. I really can't wait for quali 🦖 Hoping for a real fight with Red Bull this season.

Also, I don't even waste time thinking about who's going to be the top of the mid-field, completely unpredictable.

A reminder that computing grew from toxicity and exclusivity: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luser

It feels so nice that we have genuinely helpful communities in the 21st century :3

Today I was dreaming of some weird:

1. Getting back to as rapid prototyping tool
2. Have well-typed `deft` macro / compiler extension for pure/mission critical subset of codebases.
3. Live coding as E-Sports.

Needless to say that I slept for 2 hours, woke up and went to write some code / blogs.

's "Comments of the Inner Chorus" is literal magick.

When I first heard it, in 2006, it was so fresh and wonderful, I still listen to it in awe.

I wish they kept making music this brave.

— Lol, look how ugly this cheatsheet is
— Why is it so ugly?
— It's made by GNU people...
— A bunch of pedos?

So @pola heard the news about RMS getting back to FSF. :D

People who say they like markdown never tried to implement it.

It's basically PDF.

Vettel is back, baby! Really hoping for a good performance this season to prove that toxic teams like don't boost the results with their shitty culture.

Can someone please explain the rules for serialisation?

I know the basics of punctuation in Russian, Latvian, and English, but I'm not entirely sure about these rules in English.

For example, if something has to be at the same time, but unrelatedly be

1. Complete
2. Composable
3. Correct

Should it be "this code is complete composable and correct" or "this code is complete, composable, and correct"?

Are there serialisation cases without the use of comma in English?

Using a functional distro (such as Guix, Nix) really reduces the amount of anxiety around "oh shit I gotta update all my computers asap due to the new security patches but what if something goes bad aaaaaaaahhhh"

Absolutely amazing post by Pete Corey titled "Minimum viable Phoenix": petecorey.com/blog/2019/05/20/

Absolutely in line with how I (and I think most people) learn. Very blackboard-esque.

PeerTube v3.1 is out!
Better transcoding features, more pleasant interfaces, possibility to easily subscribe to a remote account and... so many great features!

@jonn Agreed, Haskell is really cool and I use it for pretty much everything. I wish more people use it!

Build tools' scaffolding / bootstrapping is wrong for the same reason as showing slides is wrong.
It's not step-by-step and it instanteneously overwhelm humans.
Wizards with tree-like rollbacks are the way.

is an interesting and certainly a life-long learning experience.

For instance, today I understood `deriving via`, which I was pretty aggressively avoiding by figuring out how to implement it and then briefly reading the docs.

Now I can avoid writing boilerplate where it's applicable. 🎉

I'm also really not embarrassed to not know some extensions that people are very comfortable with. Not like I'm pro "ridiculously simple haskell" or whatever is the name of this very questionable movement. I just think that people should be productive with Haskell straight away and then, either learn from the community, or do their own research when they feel like they are doing too much typing (some pun intended).
