America’s fall off from having the world’s greatest medical minds running its health services to this, needs to be studied.

Anyway, I am off to sleep now. Ciao for now and hopefully this week I get to publish my app in the app stores!

7. Even if you wanted to abuse Haskell's lazily evaluated lists to build infinite structures with it, you likely still used a stream library anyway for performance and ergonomics. I haven't done much with streams in F# but `seq {}` was my introduction to that so far.

6. F# pipelines flow left-to-right: `x |> f |> g`. Haskell hides a similar operator (`&`) in the cupboard and nobody uses it (except me), but the F# version seems more natural to me.

5. F# has no typeclasses, no coherence or instance resolution, but it does have interfaces and statically resolved type parameters which can scoot a little closer to this. #haskell wins this round.

4. F# gives you Haskell-style partial application, until you touch overloaded .NET methods. Functions behave; methods sulk.

3. F#'s records are how the universe intended records to be. Haskell can sit this round out. #fsharp

2. F# gives you 'a option, which feels like Maybe. Then .NET drops null into your lap anyway. Pattern matching on null works, but it feels like you’re breaking the seal on something toxic.

Not unlike Scala on JVM.

A few things I have learned the last week while building an app using F#:

1. 🚨 F# won’t save you from missing pattern cases. Haskell treats non-exhaustive matches as warnings; F# treats them as a suggestion. Turn on --warnaserror+25 if you want the compiler to act like it cares.

Should introducing a pervasive type as `string | undefined` that isn't just describing existing APIs in the wild in JS land be punishable by death?

Asking for a friend.

I can't imagine how many children the DoJ's Epstein files show Trump violated if Whiskey Leaks is taking us to war against Venezuela.

Mortgage fraud is something the Pulte family is known to be guilty of. Bill Pulte, Trump's director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, has been involved in investigations into alleged mortgage fraud, targeting political opponents of Trump. Pulte's actions constitute political weaponization.

Do you think MAGA believes one of Epstein's victims sat around for hours with Trump talking about tariffs in Epstein's apartment? Is that why they are so quiet today?

A vivid red and pink aurora borealis arching dramatically across a dark sky, with faint stars visible through the ethereal glow. The celestial display illuminates the silhouette of a single-story house with a garage, nestled among bare trees and branches that frame the top and sides of the image. A basketball hoop is faintly visible on the left, near the house.

Aurora borealis lit up our skies yesterday.

Stated with no judgement. It just is.

Notion is like the macOS user's version of emacs orgmode.

The fact that the Trump admin first reaction to people peacefully exercising their rights is to launch federal investigations against citizens to intimidate them is exactly why we were out there.

#NoKings protest chant:
No ICE, No K-K-K,
No racist, fascist U-S-A

No Kings

South Korea: #NoKings! Thousands of people came to show support to the US democracy!

This is a blatant attempt to silence and isolate us. He’s stopping the trains, closing the freeways and firing live rounds into California. We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced. #NoKings

#NoKings ad for Dubuque, Iowa 🤣🔥

“NO KINGS” is more than a slogan; it’s the foundation that the United States of America was built upon. We wouldn't be a country if the founding fathers didn't believe that.

As such, the people peacefully protesting today in the streets across the country love the premise of this country.

No hate.

Spitting Image show plots return to TV after 23 years The satirical puppet show plans to target global figures such as Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.

As a tween/teen, this show had me in stitches. Spitting Image is savage, unrelenting satire that skewers politicians, celebrities, and anyone else caught in the public’s crosshairs. It exposes the absurdities and hypocrisy of the world around us.

I have never heard of the "Hate American Rally" that the Trump sycophants are talking about.

However, I have heard of the #NoKings rally for this Saturday which is for Americans who believe that there should never be any absolute monarchies or dictators in the USA. Ever.

Hope that clarifies.

I'm against fascism which makes me antifascist. I am not part of a terrorist organization but I'll call fascism when I see it.

I see fascism in the current regime of the United States led by Trump. These are the terrorists and enemies of the people. The call is coming from inside the [White] house.

Private jet adorned with faux gold plated on dark blue background frilly design with "Qatar's bitch" written on the side with the same faux gold plated paint.

We should assume now that every tech bro who came out to say last year that Kamala Harris was a threat to democracy and Trump was the only way to save the country are fascists. They wanted a civil war and we know some believe in slavery. They have fuck-you money and they keep nodding. Incriminating.

Call me Aunt Tifa.
