I’d think autonomous killing machines wouldn’t have a humanoid shape, as it would be optimized for efficient lethality and not things like grasping external tools and all-terrain movement that is calorically efficient and biomechanically sustainable.

What does it take to emigrate there?

Consider the shell itself to be “the IDE”

Everything is interoperable, extensible, scriptable, and more. CLI tools are designed to run fast/instant, have keyboard shortcuts for everything, and be deeply customizable. The openness and variety cannot be overstated, Google “CLI file explorer” and you’ll easily find at least 10. Nobody has the same exact setup because it gets molded to match how your brain works. Go for popular tools, niche setups, or both.

Graphical IDEs could also run fast/instant and have keyboard shortcuts for everything, but their users don’t demand it. If you wished the file explorer/git integration/debugger/etc worked a bit differently, there might be a plugin, if you’re lucky. Many operations can only be invoked manually via sequence of dialog boxes or mouse clicks or both.

Then you’ve used one without knowing, because somewhere between the ORM you used and the database was SQL, and that SQL was put together by the ORM’s query builder

If by “raw dog SQL” you mean dynamically concatenating strings (conditionally, interpolating runtime values), that’s literally a query builder, albeit a janky SQL-injectable one.

What do you mean? SQL query builders exist in pretty much every lang

I dunno, I remember it more like, “hey computer, make a LARP/natural wonder/cozy space/sing & dance number for my real humanoid (and android) friends and I to enjoy together”. When computer manifestations got regarded as worthy of personhood, it was either some exceptional case, or the story was about the character’s delusion.

Isn’t functional stuff closely related to type theory & type systems in all langs? In that sense, it’s prevented whole classes of bugs from ever getting to prod in the first place.

Best code is no code at all

Every line of code by Claude Code, eh?

Do you have a version with type annotations, perhaps in a gist?

Then seems like they may have chosen these platforms because they’re not accessible and thus not threatening, in a malicious compliance way

Although, giving them the benefit of doubt, perhaps they wanted a low blast radius for their first integration rollout, which is considered good engineering practice.

That’s not “a fix”, that’s called “a practical workaround” which is used in the real world all the time.

What aspects of coding?

Turing Tumble is a marble run puzzle game that’s Turing complete, i.e. in the abstract sense, it can compute anything a computer could. It implements bit flippers, logic gates, and memory using falling marbles and levers. Completely mechanical and very tactile.

For textual programming, check out Hedy, a language designed for the classroom. It stands out vs others like Scratch or Snap because Hedy is gradual. A presentation by its creator

A very practical and tangible walkthrough

Yeah, that explanation is missing the critical point of generically applying external functions through flat_map/bind

I think this is a good explanation: https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/rop/

In the short term, I would:

isVibrating = waveformParameters != null // may have just started
if (isVibrating) {
    waveformParameters.Shape = WaveformShape.Square;
    widget.UpdateWaveformParameters(waveformParameters);
}

In the longer term, unless there’s a good reason not to, I’d nudge the implementation towards having the code read more like:

widget.update(waveformParameters);

In practical terms, “monad” means “chainable”.

Classier than listing every program individually?

I mean… Isn’t that?

It’s “~~beat~ [guess] the hash [with distributed gamified brute force]”

This is when the argument can be reduced to absurdity, e.g. banning the Bible for the sexual imagery in it. Ban absolutely anything and everything even remotely objectionable to anyone (there are people with feet fetishes, ban all feet, and thus also all shoes), so there’s no Internet at all.

If you worked a shitty job that only earned $1 a day after accounting for work-related expenses (e.g. transportation, professional equipment, taxes, etc), it would be profitable, but not worth your time.
