UCM Desktop 1.1.0 is out: github.com/unisonweb/uc... - Tauri to Electron migration - Light mode colors in the Finder - Ensure a definition is scrolled to when opened - Hitting `shift+x` now closes all open definitions More on the Tauri to Electron migration in 🧵

A challenge we often hear from new Unison devs is around reading function signatures. Our syntax is common to ml-style languages (Haskell, Elm), but it can look intimidating when new to those langs. In this 🧵 I break down the syntax. First up, a function that is used to create an html div. 1/7

A lot of the incidental complexity of software can be traced back to people using something other than a real programming language to get computers to do a thing. More here: www.linkedin.com/posts/pchius...

Even though he's famous, I feel like if Mr. Beast's content vanished, a month later no one would even care, not even his superfans. It's garbage that's just been hyperoptimized to hijack your attention. Once you stop engaging, the spell is broken and you realize you're better off without it.

Imagine if for 1 year, everyone making movies, tv, books agreed not to make anything based on pre-existing franchises. And the money and creativity poured into the same 6 franchises could instead go to making new things. Even superfans of these franchises could survive a yr w/out another spinoff.

We're looking for design partners to work with us on a free POC to test this out and give feedback. If you've ever wanted to try prototyping Unison for work, this is the way. Scope for initial project could be just a few days, and we'd work with you to make it a success! unison.cloud/byoc

Coming soon: create Unison Cloud clusters in minutes on your own infra, anywhere. www.unison.cloud/byoc/ 🔐 All data stays with you. We don't see service requests or data in storage. ⚡️ Services deploy in seconds, service calls in 1 LOC, and more..

A foot of snow in New Orleans last week. Today: 75 degrees and sunny. Makes sense.

"Sorry, your game sold millions of copies but our projections said it should have sold at least fifteen trillion for shareholders to be satisfied, so we're going to have to fire all of you. Now watch the news unquestioningly report that your game was a commercial failure. Probably because of woke."

`Each` is one of more magical-seeming abilities in Unison, lets you write straight line code to express nondeterminism. Example - each [1,2,3] + 1000 Ends up as a lazy mapping over the list. share.unison-lang.org/@unison/base...

this is how it feels to reach 30 MILLION users!!!

It doesn't matter how old you are, buying snacks for a road trip should always look like an unsupervised 9 year old was given a $100.

It's good that there's a 25% tarriff on imported coffee now. This will incentivize people to purchase American coffee, grown in the New Jersey coffee forests

⭐ Every year folks try Unison for Advent of Code and write about it. It's a fitting celebration for a community that loves to share the joy of programming. We've collected many of the solutions in our latest blog post. They're good for learning, year-round.

🚲 Many of our Unison community members happen to live in the Netherlands!🌷 If you're a fan of Unison and you're also in the Netherlands, drop by our Discord and say hi! The Dutch Unison community organizes in-person meetups and we'd love to meet you. unison-lang.org/discord

It snowed 6-12 inches in New Orleans. The city hasn’t seen snow since 2004 (only a half inch) and has zero infra for snow removal! Everyone’s just waiting for snow to melt. Everything is shut down. School’s closed. Kids are having a blast, of course. ☃️

Late to the game on this one, but Project Hail Mary audiobook was very nicely done. Highly recommended! #booksky

I bought an impressionist painting of some flowers, but when I got back home the cat scratched it. Now I'm trying to sell it as a Clawed Monet.

Good morning & Happy New Year #morningsky

Over the holidays I read The Tainted Cup, a fantasy Sherlock Holmes style mystery with a bit of political intrigue and a pretty wild setting. Great fun start to finish and a nice escape, highly recommended! www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...

I was curious if you could design a system similar to Kafka but where "number of partitions" wasn't a thing at all (or at most, it's an external knob that's fully dynamic). This could be simpler to operate and program against. Some thoughts:

I just published a library to parse and validate TOML documents in @unison-lang.org: share.unison-lang.org/@etorreborre.... It was more complex than what I expected from a "simple" format.
