Exuma··on Unlimited Kagi searches for $10 per month
It is a low wage... it is literally $5 less than minimum wage.

And also, nothing I said literally changes at all, whether its $7, 10, or $12.

It's less about money and more about the mental energy required to distill such a granular view of money/value. $3 is basically the same as $10, or even $50. Even when I slept on the floor of an office building and made $10/hr I never thought like that. It is madness to me. Spend that energy thinking how to make $10 more, which is incredibly easy, far far easier than the mental energy micromanaging single dollars.

I'm very glad that my value scale doesnt concern itself with the difference between $3 and $10, I can't imagine going through day to day like that with that level of granularity. That is literally less than the price of a single pizza. A single potato at the store is probably $3

EDIT: I just signed up for Kagi. Youre out of your mind if this isnt worth $10, holy crap this is awesome. The amount of configurations and settings is out of this world. Unless you use google 5 times per month this far exceeds its cost.

Exuma··on Lead poisoning causes more death, IQ loss than thought: study
The lead acetate thing is fun to research, I went down that rabbit hole once, not because I'd ever do it but I like watching other people do it. It is called "the dip" and theres tons of videos saying DONT DO THIS but then showing you how to do it, haha. It turns bright blue or purple, I can't remember... but it's very colorful. Reminds me of the good old days of emerald green which was made of arsenic in the 1920s.

Its not gone... pretty much every single person that shoots guns need to be aware of this. Of course gun people don't care about their health and they think with their 45 ug/dL lead level that youre "overreacting"...

D-Lead is a very good company for deleading that i use obsessively, when shooting

I once called them and talked to an engineer about lead for like 1.5 hours. I think it really surprised him someone was so interested and he was happy to share.

I use vue, so I’m assuming that is the “signals approach”. I use pinia btw

Can you explain how all 3 state mechanisms you mentioned, and how they are different ?

One thing I always wonder is how people throughout history, on famous historic codebases etc, can indent things.... 90% the way, and then out of dozes of things correct there will be 3 things that are painfully off. Man, just indent them all the way if youre going to do it halfway

Ive seen this in dennis richie code, doom code, etc

Am i the only person who sees these things stand out like a sore thumb? It would drive me mad. They either all have to be not aligned, or aligned, but not 90%

Oooooo... that makes perfect sense.

> That works because the Get monad builds up a description of steps to perform, so is purely declarative.

AWESOME way to put it. Thank you...

Is what they have achieved really that ... magical, that it needs to be a closed source project? I don't know much about python, but I suspect if someone watches the demo the methodology behind what they're doing is probably clear no? I don't understand the purpose of close sourcing it unless there really is some kind of moat.
Exuma··on Snake-fury – a challenge for Haskell beginners
Can you give an example of the full picture to someone who doesnt know haskell? The only functional language I'm familiar with is elixir.

I tried learning about them for fun but couldn't see many examples unless I know all of the weird haskell syntax.

The core basis that I gathered of functors is that they're like anything which is "mappable", the key part being it can be any type, and not something like a list or array. So maybe you have an object data type, and you create a custom function which makes it mappable.

The basis of monads was a functor that returns another functor, and the example I saw was a "stream". Elixir does have streams, and this "makes sense" but I wasn't super satisfied with that answer as I highly doubt all this talk of making it hard to understand is about streams.

Is there an actual example that exists where you can present the different ways to solve it? Ie... you have X data structure, and you want to get Y parts out of it while transforming Z at the same time. Method 1: no monads, Method 2: monads, or something like that?

Exuma··on Making sense of React Server Components
How do devs generally feel about Vue 3?

So far it seems really amazing even for the most complex apps. I’ve built 5 nontrivial apps with 2 being 2+ year projects

I haven’t found a “ceiling” yet

Exuma··on Making sense of React Server Components
I still think one way data flow is profound for complex frontend UIs. The idea of making something as complex as Facebook ad manager without it sounds true nightmare level

I personally love vue and single page templates (I hate jsx)

SSR is stil a good option i think for complex apps

Exuma··on Show HN: Puck – Open-source visual editor for React
The problem with that one is I want to completely avoid parsing/rendering HTML. That creates huge headaches when you want to create some kind of "component" but then once the html is rendered, it cant be re-parsed into its original state without adding a bunch of junk to it, like helper classes etc. It's just very brittle for what I want to do
Exuma··on Show HN: Puck – Open-source visual editor for React
This was what I said previously, which I'm assuming plasmic doesnt do:

> Does it allow embedding in an actual app? Thats the problem I have with these is they all require some weird form of going to their domain. I need the editor (AND the rendered page) to be 100% on my own domain. I wish they had some editor as an open source library and id just pay to have an API key or something

I'm assuming you researched a lot of other DND libraries when building. Did any stand out to you that were better than the rest? IE supporting nested structures, and looked to be programmed well. In my research I found about 8-10 of them and just thought... ugh, I will do this later, to decide between them
