mutantmell @mutantmell.net · 28/09/2026I wish I could buy my meat/fish frozen, fish is often delivered to grocery frozen (and meat products increasingly so), and I’d just like to buy the food in a way that ensures it’s fresher. Plus cooking from frozen often works fine for proteins. 080

mutantmell @mutantmell.net · 25/09/2026I'm doing my part here (I think I got a trend started at the office of espresso over ice) 010
mutantmell @mutantmell.net · 25/09/2026I'd judge them positively, that's the sort of free-spirited thinking we need 020
mutantmell @mutantmell.net · 25/09/2026Oh that just seems categorically wrong not to include that show 120
mutantmell @mutantmell.net · 25/09/2026I would offer a response but that would require the brain, the Original Sin of the animal kingdom 010
mutantmell @mutantmell.net · 24/09/2026I mean, there’s plans and there’s Plans™️. hope it’s the former and not the latter. 110

mutantmell @mutantmell.net · 23/09/2026I don’t know if it’s just a Seattle thing or not, but I have some friends who are in similar situations and they really don’t want to rock the status quo 0101
mutantmell @mutantmell.net · 23/09/2026Like naively this could just insert two coerces (`coerce . f . coerce`) but a lot more ergonomically and with better error messages? 000
mutantmell @mutantmell.net · 23/09/2026I wonder how hard it would be to apply the DerivingVia machinery to functions, so you could do something like `sort @(via (Down Int)) [1, 2, 3, 4]` or `fold @(via (Sum Int)) [5, 6, 7, 8]` That would be a lot nicer than pulling in lens machinery just for `ala` 100
mutantmell @mutantmell.net · 22/09/2026It’s basically been just a straight linear trend in disapproval, the start of the Iran War is barely even a blip 050
mutantmell @mutantmell.net · 22/09/2026But yeah I’m in favor of extending “personhood” to a large chunk of the animal kingdom 030
mutantmell @mutantmell.net · 22/09/2026I understand your position, but I have been Targeted From Birth to be mosquito food and I have no sympathy for them, or the massive welts they leave behind. 140
mutantmell @mutantmell.net · 22/09/2026What’s nice about this direction is if the record types are structural but not nominal, so you can basically treat them as constraints for the type of configuration needed without imposing a specific data type. I’ve always wanted something like this for a SQL library. 010
mutantmell @mutantmell.net · 22/09/2026My first learned functional programming language was SML and it shows, lol stackoverflow.com/a/54867207stackoverflow.comUsing records as function arguments in SMLThe one subject in SML which does not get much attention is 'records'. I was wondering how to handle records in functions (as an argument or returented value). I know we can use the # operator in ... 120
mutantmell @mutantmell.net · 22/09/2026Yeah this is basically the local maxima. I’ve wanted anonymous records in Haskell for a while because then you could write sigs like this: runServer :: { port :: Int , timeout :: Int — … } -> (Request -> IO Response) -> IO () Get the advantages of both argument lists and currying. 110

mutantmell @mutantmell.net · 14/09/2026I like how “Getting angry at strangers on the internet” and “Embracing boredom and destimulating” are at about the same levels of goodness 091
mutantmell @mutantmell.net · 11/09/2026yeah strong agreement here. it's also super clunky, wanting weirdly precise movement with a miserably-bad camera 121
