nix complains "error: cannot auto-call a function that has an argument without a default value ('stdenv')"?
Add on top of default.nix: with import {}; or simply run as nix-build '' (i. e. for nix-build complaining) or rather nix-build -E 'with import {}; callPackage ./default.nix {}' (or even import)
Let's explore the Yoneda lemma. You don't need to be an advanced Haskeller to understand this. In fact I claim you will understand the first section fine if you're comfortable with map/fmap and id.
I am not out to motivate it, but we will explore Yoneda at the level of terms and at the level of types.

What is the Strict Aliasing Rule and Why do we care?
(OR Type Punning, Undefined Behavior and Alignment, Oh My!)
What is strict aliasing? First we will describe what is aliasing and then we can learn what being strict about it means.
In C and C++ aliasing has to do with what expression types we are allowed to access stored values through. In both C and C++ the standard specifies which expression types are allowed to alias which types. The compiler and optimizer are allowed to assume we follow the aliasing rules strictly, hence the term strict aliasing rule. If we attempt to access a value using a type not allowed it is classified as undefined behavior(UB). Once we have undefined behavior all bets are off, the results of our program are no longer reliable.
Unfortunately with strict aliasing violations, we will often obtain the results we expect, leaving the possibility the a future version of a compiler with a new optimization will break code we th
This is a story about how I tried to use Go for scripting.
In this story, I’ll discuss the need for a Go script, how we would expect it to behave and the possible implementations; During the discussion I’ll deep dive to scripts, shells, and shebangs.
Finally, we’ll discuss solutions that will make Go scripts work.
Why Go is good for scripting?
While python and bash are popular scripting languages, C, C++ and Java are not used for scripts at all, and some languages are somewhere in between.
