lisardo··on Dungeons and Dragons rolls the dice with new rules about identity
That really doesn’t matter. What really matter is they fixed Ranger and Paladin is no longer MAD.
lisardo··on Show HN: "Interactive" Italian Poetry for English Speakers
I love this project!
lisardo··on DJI Virtual Flight (iOS) has been broken for five months
Apple did the breaking change from their side. I don't think DJI is to blame.
lisardo··on ‘I just assumed it would happen’: the unspoken grief of childless men
I learned this lesson the hard way.
lisardo··on Intel financialized and lost leadership in semiconductor fabrication (2021)
Is there a source / blog post with rough explanation what you mean? I'm really curious.
lisardo··on Show HN: I open sourced a game I just released on Steam, written in Lua
Go Adonaac!
lisardo··on Egypt prepares to start move to new capital, away from the chaos of Cairo
Brazil undertook a similar project and moved the capital from Rio de Janeiro to Brasilia in 1960. This was a big mistake. Brasilia is like giant robot very far away from the people and with no connection with society. Brasilia has the highest income per capita in Brazil and it doesn't produce anything. Rio Janeiro, the old capital, was left with no alternative and has been decaying ever since.
lisardo··on Creating a Signal account
Great UX analysis.
lisardo··on Ask HN: What Lived Up to the Hype?
This one. Zelda Breath of the Wild has the best meta review ever given to game. It's worth buying a Nintendo switch for this game alone.
lisardo··on A former Uber engineer's disaster story
> annealing algorithm in the release build to reorder

This is a damn cool use of simulated annealing.

lisardo··on TSMC and Graphcore Prepare for AI Acceleration on 3nm
That was really instructive. Thank you for sharing.
lisardo··on Scientists who never won a Nobel Prize
It's missing Carlos Chagas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_Prize_controversies#1921
lisardo··on I open sourced my game along with a tutorial on how to make it using Lua
Go Adonaac! It's nice to read about you on the internet from time to time! - Lisardo
lisardo··on Hong Kong: books by pro-democracy activists disappear from library shelves
"Dort wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man auch am Ende Menschen." - Wherever they burn books, in the end will also burn human beings. Heinrich Heine
lisardo··on Nicomachean Ethics
I read this book during law school. The conclusions are nice, but the book writing is obtuse.
lisardo··on Ask HN: Germany vs. Canada for Tech Jobs?
70-80k is salary for senior in Berlin.
lisardo··on SwiftUI
It’s nice to finally see a FRP framework for iOS like React/Elm. MVC must die already.
lisardo··on Ask HN: What are good resources for life advice?
I see Jordan Pererson gets downvoted here, but recommend all critic to read “12 rules for life” themselves. This book helped me a lot.
lisardo··on Ask HN: Why doesn't a time travel debugger exist yet for JavaScript?
I use in Elm 0.19 and it works just fine. Maybe it’s some JavaScript port?
lisardo··on Ask HN: Anyone Using Elm in Production?
Yes, we're using in production in http://getsurance.de and it has been great.

About nested module, they are not necessary at all. Check "The life of a file" by Evan Czaplicki - create a new file if Model/Update gets too big, there is no need for upfront component partitioning.

I watched all streams listed in the comments, but I liked the most GM Jerry: https://www.twitch.tv/chessnetwork
lisardo··on Facebook Says Hackers Stole Detailed Personal Data from 14M People
I'm among the hacked people. I'm feeling so disappointed.
lisardo··on Show HN: Kontext – Learn new words by watching movies in a foreign language
Care to explain what is Fluent Forever approach and how do I download their app?
lisardo··on Is Haskell the right language for teaching functional programming principles?
I learned FP using Racket. It was a good experience, but the parenthesis were really annoying. It makes you feel stupid.

I believe Elm would be better choice. It would allow to get a visual result easily (html), there is a clear convention about code formatting and the compiler errors are really friendly.

lisardo··on Google is paying Apple billions per year to remain on the iPhone
This is a great insight, thank you! Do you have some source of information to dig further?
lisardo··on Ask HN: Is Telegram better than WhatsApp?
yes
lisardo··on Ask HN: Is there a sane alternative to Angular and React?
I talk about my experience. I deployed Elm to production in several projects for the biggest group fitness company in the US.

It's incredible. Compiler errors are incredible. No undefined bullshit. It's purely functional, so the code you need to understand at the same time is always gonna be inside 20 lines. And you can use it with javascript if you want too.

You will learn a lot using a pure functional programming language. Programming is about transforming data, so even if I go back to any OO language I learned that state can cause several problems.

lisardo··on Katana – Modern Swift framework for creating iOS apps, inspired by React/Redux
That is one of the most common complaints about iOS.

Unidirectional data flow greatly reduce complexity because you don't to reason about several places making changes of the state.

I'm programming Elm after 3 years of iOS and, man, it's great. The amount of code I'm reasoning about is always contained in a in single vim window. It's something that can be done in iOS, but it would require very high discipline. In Elm it came naturally.

lisardo··on Katana – Modern Swift framework for creating iOS apps, inspired by React/Redux
What are the normal iOS conventions?

MVC pattern in iOS usually creates Massive View Controllers that are really hard to maintain and test.
