you can type check this in static languages too if the type system supports structural typing [0]

This is really cool, the missing functionality that I haven't added to https://supportpage.io/ yet :p

Usually I’ve seen it defined as that the intended effect happens at most once. e.g. see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Idempotent

I wrote something similar a while ago https://github.com/agrafix/grabcite — I was surprised how far you could get with just heuristics. The nice thing is that many academic papers are also available with their LaTeX source which avoids a lot of the structure guessing from PDFs.

Hmm did they release their April 1 joke too early by mistake?

New comment by agrafix in "Filling the Void of a Physical Whiteboard"

agrafix — Tue, 22 Dec 2020 16:13:02 +0000

Shameless plug: I’ve built https://board.new to help with ad-hoc collaborative whiteboarding. One thing I’ve found using more sophisticated tools was that folks spent too much time making it look nice vs discussing the content. Hence this tool that doesn’t distract with that.

That said, mermaid looks pretty nice —- going to try that out for my design documents once settled on an approach.

That’s cool — I’ve built something similar in the past: https://github.com/typed-wire/typed-wire

Shameless plug: we built https://board.new with “hold shift to draw” which makes drawing with a mouse much easier.

It's certainly related -- not sure what kinds if specialisation the new ruby JIT does.

I think it's possible, mostly didn't go down that route to keep things as simple as possible at first.

New comment by agrafix in "Ask HN: What collaborative whiteboard are you using?"

agrafix — Fri, 22 May 2020 23:09:18 +0000

We noticed that most whiteboarding apps out there over-focused on perfect diagrams, so a lot of time in meetings is lost due to rearranging boxes and arrows. Hence, we built https://letsboard.co - a very simple collaborative whiteboarding tool and are using it daily now.

New comment by agrafix in "Parsing JSON is a Minefield"

agrafix — Mon, 23 Apr 2018 00:46:00 +0000

One of the things that has bitten me before was the maximum allowed nesting depth - this was different in two implementations, so one rejected the payload while the other one parsed it fine :(

This motivated me to hack together a Haskell implementation, but with a little better error handling :) https://github.com/agrafix/micro-lisp
