Collect the seven dollars and I'd
Buy a big prosthetic forehead
And wear it on my real head

"Why don't the characters in Finding Nemo have Australian accents?"

"They're fish!"

"Then shouldn't they have fish accents?"

@lucifargundam The ship from The Orville:

Doesn't the #Orville look like it's designed for shaving an armpit?

@FediFollows @karrot

@cy@mstdn.io This might be of interest to you.

Me: Has a problem.

Web: You're not the only one!

#unity3d: We fixed that in 2018.

Web: Uh, no you didn't.

"Especially those with respirators"? Huh? I thought an N95 mask WAS a respirator. Can anyone clarify?

@lumpley Crowded field? It's got nothing on "card games about Samoan fireknife dancing". 😆 🔥 🗡️ 🕺

@maridonkers Yes, you can declare the type. The question was about what happens if you don't; the rules have (slightly) changed since 2013.

@freemo That got me a short answer

https://stackoverflow.com/a/73861151/1435803

that includes a link to a much deeper rabbit hole than I care to explore.

It used to be the case in #Haskell that

:t 3

would give you

3 :: Num a => a

but

let x = 3
:t x

would give you

x :: Integer

because storing a value in variable forced the system to commit to a specific type.

Nowadays, though, the latter gives you

x :: Num a => a

What changed? I'm at a loss as to how to search the web for an answer to this one.
