What the fuck they are spending all this millions on? Who's the recipient?

@aeveltstra Don't know about powershell, but SPJ had his hand in adding lambdas to Excel.

It's not who did it first, it's who did it right.

Groups will be rolling out to select :pixelfed: instances next week, and will be available for all pixelfed instances after we conclude federation compatibility testing!

@maltimore Is this just a lack of time or some deficiency in learning materials?

@boilingsteam Good. Previous AMD offerings were a bit on a weak side TBH.

@qnm @cwebber There are two problems with content or site blocking:
- When it blocks things it wasn't intended to block
- When it blocks things it was intended to block

@Seirdy @dl @cwebber@octodon.social @emily And this is what you get for collectively jumping onto literally a remote-code-execution platform known as HTML5.

@deavmi @Hyolobrika@mstdn.io It's amazing, but not unique to Haskell. Pattern matching is going mainstream now and you can have laziness if you need it.
Purity, on the other hand is mostly unattainable in other platforms.

@Hyolobrika@mstdn.io @deavmi Does it have purity? Pattern-matching, while nice, is superficial. Even laziness is questionable.

SPJ on writing a Great Grant Proposal 

> Ask lots of people to help you improve your proposal. Give it to your colleagues, your friends, your spouse, your dog, and listen to what they say. If they misunderstand what you were trying to say, don’t say “you misunderstood me”; instead rewrite it so it can’t be misunderstood. If they don’t immediately see the value of what you want to achieve, rewrite it until they do.

@excellion@bitcoinhackers.org How do you power the thing? How do you prevent instant vaporization of anything exhaust-side?

Idle thought:

The English plural of "virus" is "viruses".

The Latin plural of "virus" would be "virūs", because it isn't second-declension, it's fourth - except that in Latin "virus" is a singulare tantum: it has no plural. "viri" is the plural of "vir", meaning "man". "Virii" is the plural of Virius, a family name.

Just so you know.
