I've recently stumbled upon a post on Scala Contributors by Kit Langton describing how he managed to create the illusion of adding automatically derived (publicly visible) members to a companion of a class. Something that's no longer possible to achi...

some years ago it really was extremely hard. at least now there's finally some solid shops.

It really was amazing. The silence in the city was so refreshing.

So it's useless for sharing games the virtual cart thing. It says I have to be inside the same family wtv thing, so not good to share between friends.

Yes.

doge is a recent name for hydra.

it was a fun day.

Cashiers everywhere around here stopped to put things in the bags for at least 10 years now. I still remember the good times when the bags were carefully and properly put by them with all the items magically fitting. Good old times. Nowadays there's barely a difference between self checkout and using a human operated one. The main difference is that on self checkout I'm not rushed and can take my time to put the items how I want in the bags.


I still remember when it was the right. I just clicked whenever to try to find what I wanted. Still kind do it on now too, but it's not as bad as it once was in terms of organisation. Things have started to make sense.

With a ass like that, we can all beat it.

truest feeling ever.

One of the best improvements in my life. If I can muster the will to put things in and out.

"IDE for test automation, Aqua"
never heard of it.

It's obviously missing the status bar. I just saw that and on mine and went to the settings "Interface / Status & Location bars" and reenabled it.

If the government doesn't fall like it does here regularly 😮💨

And a big commitment. And people will look you weird if you try to give them back and say you don't want the deal anymore. You can't win.

This is why I keep telling people we are fucked by focusing in increasing military power in europe even if it appears and is obviously needed. We are going to put all the power at the hands of insane lunatics ready to wage war and put people in ovens.
It's happening in all countries in Europe. I think in mine we'll have elections next month or something like that and the extreme right is at 2nd or 3rd position ready to take first or will join hands with another to win. It was so close already last time. No matter how many crimes all their members do and show up in the news every week.
It's what the people want. Most people everywhere are ok and want homicidal narcissist and sociopathic people in charge of them.

Look at this person living the high life full of privileges where they can poop everyday regularly.

The hero we needed.

It would've been better if I was asked to live before it came to be... But gotta make the best of the shitty situation.

This is the fifty-fifth release in the Cats Effect 3.x lineage. It is fully binary compatible with every 3.x release and fully source-compatible with the 3.6.x lineage. Please note that we did brea...
«I'm happy to announce the release of Cats Effect 3.6.0! https://github.com/typelevel/cats-effect/releases/tag/v3.6.0
This was a gargantuan effort, and as I've previously mentioned (and discuss in the notes), it sets the stage for the future of CE's runtime with a series of almost entirely behind the scenes changes to the way that we handle asynchronous I/O and interacting with the kernel in the happy path. This not only opens the door to true multithreaded Scala Native support, but also a much higher performance ceiling on the JVM» quoted from @djspiewak mastodon post.
