Depending on your usage, you may not need a separate app. Jetbrains[0], Visual Studio[1] and VSCode[2] have support for http files.

The vscore one is a plugin from some random person, to be called built in

Insert xkcd 2347 here.

Last time I checked, they don’t support the exact same format in each product.

Thus, we stick with hurl.

QA seems to stick to robot framework instead. Some use Bruno.

TIL about .http files. Thank you :)

Converted a bunch stuff just laying in my shell history into actual actionable files finally :D

A lot of organizations have very large suites of postman collections that serve as API documentation, regression and QA testing… they often heavily rely on the postman Javascript libraries and have custom code embedded directly in the collection.

In our case, some non-devs use http apis too, notably QA. Bruno currently fills that role.

For anyone wanting to follow C#'s progress on sum types and exhaustive pattern matching, you can follow/participate in the proposal[1].

Your second paragraph sounds like you're describing Avalonia. Avalonia has AOT, compile-time binding errors and cross-platform support. Maybe there have been some updates since you last tried it? I'm not very familiar with Avalonia or WPF though so maybe there's more to it than that.

Thanks, yes I'll probably have to give it another try some day. I might be confusing Avalonia and Uno, but I think I first attempted it a couple years ago, and then again last year. I remember spending a whole weekend trying to get it running but wasn't having success. Also, I was a bit turned off by how heavy the development environment was. I had to download and install a tool, then that installed more build tools and packages, and then there was also a "recommended" VS Code extension. With WPF, I've gotten used to writing XAML without a designer, so I can get by with just VSCode, the C# extension, and the .NET CLI.

In the dotnet world, SQLx is more analogous to F# type providers like FSharp.Data.SqlClient , SQLProvider or Rezoom.SQL.

There are very few F# specific features used in the book. I imagine you could follow along pretty easily with any other functional language. You can easily use F# for the book and then apply the lessons learned to another language when you're done too. It mainly shows how to use sum types, product types and function composition to implement DDD.

I'm not sure what tendencies you're referring to though. F# has been around for 20 years and has only gotten better over time.

> ^ Has C# projects on github. Don't think that statement is true.

Why?

Make note of the privacy policy[1]. Some users may not like the data they collect.

> Information Collected from Children: As detailed in Section 3.C, we collect voice audio during calls, call log information, and utilize the Parent-provided contact list in relation to the Child's use of the Tin Can Device. We may also collect device identifiers and technical usage data related to the Service.

Yeah, this was buried under a section about "child users". I don't know how that's legal in a two-party consent state.

> C. Information Related to Child Users (Collected via the Service):

> Voice Audio Data: Audio data transmitted during calls made or received on the Tin Can Device.

Between this, and the civil and possibly regulatory liability of having 911 not necessarily work, this company might end up blowing their runway and more on lawyers.

It also says,

> This includes the real-time transmission of voice packets necessary for the call to function. If voicemail features are implemented, this includes recorded voicemail greetings and messages.

So maybe it is “collecting” the data only in these limited capacities? (which seem necessary for the thing to function)

They do not state that it is exclusively collected for those purposes, only that those purposes is included. As written, they'd be in line with their policy to collect that data for any purpose (including those listed).

Yeah, I was thinking that too, but I’m not sure how the law works. They might only not say it’s only those reasons as a CYA. And I wouldn’t be surprised if other recording was otherwise illegal without explicit consent, especially for minors. So I’m not saying it isn’t recording everything, I’m just not sure that it it’s.

It's really frustrating now that for every product/service, we have to go through the privacy policy carefully, especially when they're being written in increasingly generic verbiage. We pay for the product/service upfront or as a subscription, then a subscription for additional features, and on top of all that, agree to sell all our data and souls too. And Tech does all this blindly while gaslighting itself that "it's making the world a better place."

In a similar vein, I had Western Digital Raptors striped in my gaming PC in the mid 2000s. I remember just how amazed I was after moving to SSDs.

Real Programmers use ed. https://xkcd.com/378/

Of course. Ed is the standard text editor. https://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/ed-msg.en.html

Here's the language proposal for those that are interested.
