@directhex I'm a weirdo who happens to use both emacs and vim. I dislike most "gui" editors though because they're different (not worse).
@directhex You need more of a neckbeard clearly :-) (I agree, vim is a nightmare, but so is almost every editor out there :-( )
@smescrater Brain hurts from flying internet spaceships all weekend. You?

@smescrater Not massively, no. Just more impressive than my nearly 8 year old PC can cope with.
Reminded of youtube.com/watch?v=IwPHy17I⦠today. Soo much fun
@cawhitworth Mostly I write such code in the (Either MyErrorKind) monad; 'fail' in that context is simply 'Left'. Not pretty, but works.
@cawhitworth i.e. I dislike that fail always takes a string, even if you might have a better more semantically useful way to report it.

@cawhitworth It's toy code: relax. Pretty much all reasonable monads which could fail cleanly do. I dislike it because it expects a string.
@cawhitworth fail is bad form *iff* you can't control what monad it's being called in. It's fine for Maybe and for Either fr.ex.

@diodesign I mostly access primary sites over IPv6 so my traffic goes nowhere near my ISP's "filters"
@diodesign Maybe they operate a whitelist rather than a blacklist. Easier to make sure you don't unblock something scary for the kiddies!

I think deciding to start Intermittent Fasting again during a bad-project-at-work phase was a "very not good" idea. :-(
@rjek I think you're wrong. I think the forks rule and the teaspoons are the downtrodden slave caste imported from foreign lands to work.
@smescrater You're not a famous footballer, so no. No bite! *thwaps smes on the nose with a rolled up newspaper*
@smescrater "...I think people would become tired of me drooling on them and demanding what theyβre eating" Naah why would we?

@dkscully From my position it's bloody weird that people do that at all. It is, however, as you say, horrific that it does happen.
@ThatMumboJumbo It was fun to hear "broken mumbo" from time to time :-)
