I'm just a guy begging apple to bring back the the display on the set-timer screen that says what time the timer will go off... don't make me do time math in my head, that's the hardest kind of math! The worst is that it's still on the timer screen, just not when you set it!

Fixed that for you

…not like that! This should go down in textbooks next as “masterful engagement farming” and “peak trolling” 😂

Shamelessly crowd sourcing ideas for a talk. What are some less commonly available features in programming languages and libraries that you think are valuable? Possible examples: sum types, structural typing, monkey patching Bad features welcome too 😀

Well, it was about time to clean up remake of Parallel Processing (Danimal/Armcannon & Chris Penner) so I could play my own level again. 😅 But here it is, reworked and polished! I just can't believe this level will be soon 5 years old... #JustShapesAndBeats youtu.be/2OGxEmnB3M8

Now who’s going to do the interpretive art piece of building one and actually moving it around the corner?

Dmitrii Kovanikov I’ve tried (what feels like) every approach under the sun and this is what I’ve settled on whenever I have the choice to. In my view ORMs make the trivial stuff easier at the cost of making complex stuff more difficult. And that’s not a trade off I want to make.

Anyone have a good FM synthesis playlist?

Did you know that #Unison Share is a full-featured code-repository and collaboration platform that *doesn't have a single unit test*? Here's how that works: chrispenner.ca/posts/transcri… (*spoiler*: it's great!)

New blog post! #Haskell is built on a foundation of Monads, but are they really the optimal way to sequence effects or should we keep looking for something better? What's the big deal with Applicatives and Selective Applicatives? Read on! chrispenner.ca/posts/expressi…

In 1983, a Pixar engineer pulled off one of the craziest C hacks ever. He merged a switch and a do-while loop just to make code faster. It looked illegal. It wasn’t. It’s called Duff’s Device.

Don't get too hung up on #Monads, there are other ways to sequence effects; including Arrows; and they provide even better static analysis! Let me know what you think :) #Haskell chrispenner.ca/posts/arrow-ef…

📽️ Here's a quick video for anyone just getting started with Unison. The gist of it: install the UCM, create a scratch file in the right place, and have fun programming! youtu.be/13Dooyjg6dc?ut…

I collected my thoughts on why mutexes suck; and what we can do about it. chrispenner.ca/posts/mutexes #STM #concurrency #parallelism #mutexes #Haskell
