Not to get off on a tangent, but I thought the Mandalorian sucked. I have no desire to see any more of it. Felt like a Disney fluff piece. After reading The Expanse, I just expected more out of a space opera.

Yup The Expanse like Firefly is going to ruin the fluff scifi genre. I really do miss scifi with a bit of grit.

For grit I watch "Battlestar Gallactica" I wish I had the time to read "The Expanse" recommended by snorkie[^] via The Lounge[^] I don't mind fluff too much Am looking forward to "The Orville" I even watch "Younger" But who doesn't like a Spaghetti Space Western

I thought I'd confuse people by posting a simple one so they would hunt for a more complicated solution.
Anyway - you are up tomorrow!

You certainly confused me with "flip one off" never heard of that one

You've not heard of "flipping someone off" or "Giving him the bird"?
I'm surprised.

No not heard of either, it might stem from the fact that I don't watch telly

Been learning F# through the MS F# reference source but it seems very contradictory in some areas and devoid of meaningful explanation in others. I found the F# foundation site which has some good reference material but I was curious if anyone here has a good book recommendation from their list or elsewhere? I'm the type that wants to know exactly what something does and why it's useful, not just told to use x in situation y, and unfortunately in my experience a lot of tutorial-type books tend to avoid those more difficult questions.
For example, I'd love to figure out why type Class6<'T when 'T : (member Property1: int)>=class end is used as a legal example of a generic in the MS F# reference source when that same documentation says member constraints can only be used with statically resolved type parameters, not normal generics. Or why structs are even a thing in F# considering struct records accomplish all of the same things, PLUS they play nice with type inference in situations like pattern matching where normal structs require a when clause.

The same reason you have byref s and other "strange" things... interoperability with .NET ecosystem and to obey CLS/CTS.

Yea, I'll have to dig deeper into this because it seems like struct records are just a strictly better version of a basic struct. You can still use the IsByRefLikeAttribute too. It probably will end up being some edge-case interoperability like you mentioned

As for a book, I doubt you'll find one that go into more bizarre language details. I read Expert F# [Apress] and Programming F# [O’Reilly]. I enjoyed the second one better, but seems like there are no newer editions which would cover more recent versions of the language.

I'll check those out, thanks! It doesn't really bother me if the book is a bit outdated as long as it's good. I can always go through release notes to see what changed

I suppose you already found this excellent site: https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/
It not only covers the language, but also many concepts.
I read big parts of it when I was commuting by train (in Belgium that gives you sometimes more time than you planned )

I hope you read the 'railway oriented programming' parts on the train...

I did, it gave me a bitter-sweet taste

The two F# books I have (which seem pretty good) are Essential F# and Domain Modeling Made Functional, which is by the same gut (Scott Wlaschin) who's produced the F# for Fun and Profit website mentioned elsewhere.
As for the bits of jankiness where F# and .NET collide...well, when you friction weld a functional first language like OCaml with an OOP first VM as in .NET, you get some mess at the boundary...

I wasn't aware F# was based on OCaml (never used it but heard about it). Looked up the syntax and yea, I definitely see the inspiration.

I was reading this great article[^] on CP and it got me thinking:
Isn't SDLC and Agile rather orthogonal, even in opposition with each other?
And I suppose DevOps is sort of one piece of both, but possibly also in conflict with both?
What do you think? Are these "cult-ologies" compatible with each other?
|
|
|
|

I suppose Agile is a series of Micro-SDLCs.
DevOps is a meaningless buzzword.
