I mean yes, it’s a way to solve playing offline videos, but it doesn’t seem to stop there. I found that codecs for playing videos on Firefox are also missing

I could install Chrome as well or hack my way, but it makes me want to recommend the distro to beginners even less

I just installed fedora a couple of days ago and this happens to me too…

I guess I’ll try a different distro 🤷‍♂️ it was being a nice experience until I tried to play a video

I liked your comment myself, but I wished period was more normalized and not seeing as something “disgusting” or “embarrassing”

Yeah, for this reason null shouldn’t be part of any production code. If there’s the possibility of having a null value, you need to check every variable or returned value to be safe.

These monads tell the consumer of your functions to do something (a check for emptiness or wait for it to be ready, or iterate it) to access the value inside. In a safe language, if the value is not wrapped by a monad, then you should expect to access it without issues.

I kind of get why people don’t want to call them monads, since it sounds like a heavy term and more things to learn that are not strictly “necessary”, but the earlier you learn about their importance, the earlier you can use any of their benefits in your codebase.

I am with you. To me these are non-obvious details, just a bug waiting to silently happen in production.
