technicals aside, as they are now resolved or being resolved in one manner or another, i would really like an understanding of precisely where the breakdown in communication occurred. i have thus far heard conflicting reports that indicate

sure. the reason i put a line break between return type and function name in c-likes is `grep ^fname`. but i seriously wish greppability wasn't important. the extensive line-orientedness of unix tools really puts a damper on the wh

damn, nostalgia hit. i installed this as a kid when it was called mousepath, and the sight of the result was definitely part responsible for my amateur interest in graphics. on the topic of graphic design, everything about the landing page

can vouch for the detsys installer, and anecdotally, the resulting nix install seems more resilient across os updates. on a similar note, nix-darwin is a must-have. the typical nix-env stuff you see in introductions to nix on non-nixos syst

was wondering when this guy would drop a video on nix. pleasantly surprised by the result, although i do find it funny that he had to go well over the usual 100 seconds. that's nix for you. one benefit that doesn't get much lipser

getting a machine to do that sort of real-time spatial reasoning may well be harder than getting it to tell you the meaning of life or whatever. brains are inextricable from the evolution of directed locomotion. several species of sessile t

heads up: it's under one of those BSL-esque weirdo licenses [1] parameterised on seats and, get this, a seat is defined as a single CPU core (if you are not an individual). so don't get any ideas about running it on more than 5 ma

it eschews attribution, making it just about the closest thing to a public-domain dedication that still retains the appropriate verbiage to hold up to legal scrutiny

cute little language; this must have been pretty slick for those with a shell to a unix box wanting to put together a graph in 1984, considering there was rather little if any typesetting like that on PCs of the day one fun thing of note is

i met the subject matter on the article's terms and made it quite explicit that an image can be impressive but unsubstantial entirely orthogonal to whether or not it is the result of diffusion. obviously it's nuts that you can coo

ada has some things that rust doesn't. a lot of them (bounded numbers, pre/post conditions) are really good but do not present a case for writing the category of program rust targets. nor the other way round, really. when the dust

i wasn't talking about adding syscalls to the round trip of array access, i was talking about controlling a running system or speaking a protocol. for the canonical example, i refer you to http://man.cat-v.org/plan_9&#x

mousing is profoundly good if you let it into your life as a programmer, but for me it had the knock-on effect of making programming at a desktop unappealing. i find the ergonomics of alternating between mouse and keyboard that much better

let's momentarily set aside the irony of reading kahneman and some pop-sci behavioural economics, then smooshing them together in sequence because they are thematically connected by “system 1/system 2”, to ultimately arrive at a p
