`uv.lock` pins exact versions (and hashes) of your dependencies.

Yes, and he is discussing how `uv lock` updates the contents of that file

General Topology is valuable, especially for the filter perspective; so are some of the Algebra volumes.

I know that `git rebase` changes the committer date while keeping the author date the same, so I'm assuming something similar happened here. For example, many of the early commits have this committer date with varying author dates:

    $ git show --format=fuller 3dafc8f5de6ffe46fb223a75a46a6bd848b6daf8
    commit 3dafc8f5de6ffe46fb223a75a46a6bd848b6daf8

GitHub uses the committer date for its history, which is annoying if you rebase frequently; I like to run a non-interactive `git rebase` with `--commmiter-date-is-author-date` in such cases.

let me guess: you haven't read the article, have you?

He’s built up an impressive amount of clout over a short period of time, mostly by interviewing interesting guests on his podcast while not boring listeners to death (unlike a certain other interviewer with high-caliber guests that shall remain nameless).

What's the meaning of life though, and why is it love?

I agree that “/usr/sbin directory becomes a symlink to bin” can be confusing for new users, but I don’t think it’s wrong: I interpret this statement as saying that /usr/sbin is going to be a relative symlink with target bin, which would indeed make it resolve to /usr/bin.

Recent versions of F# can stop on individual function applications in an expression like

    x
    |> f a
    |> g b
    …

(search for "pipeline debugging" on < https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/whats-new-in-fsharp-6/>).

In my experience, these are more common than strict point-free style anyway.

It's a joke.

I assume they're talking about code like

    x
    |> f a
    |> g b
    …

… where everything after the first |> is essentially in point-free style.
