Yeah, I really can't stand every vscode has done to the ecosystem for settings. JSON as a storage format for config is entirely fine, but it's a truly awful UX for changing things. But they're successful and it's easy

tbh if you think a serialized string bypasses anything in a proof-oriented language... I think that just means you haven't used one before. stringly-typed code is no less safe than strict types in these systems, though it's genera

Seems like this would probably be solved if github returned a patch file formatted like `git show` provides, specifically with the commit message indented? I do see that `git format-patch` doesn't do this indentation though. In any ca

Niche values: fair! You can't just scan memory looking for 0000000000... (... for some types at least) But if a debugger can show you all values of type X, and the compiler defines null-y values of X, surely there's some way? Th

I think the hope for 2 is that those programmers would be forced into inaction by the language safety, rather than being allowed to cause problems. I don't really think that works either, because there's endless ways to add compli

"You have 400 megabytes of zeros in <this type>" is probably a pretty easy heuristic to add.

Small, pithy quotes vs dozens of paragraphs are rather different things. It does not surprise me in the least that a machine can produce excellent small quotes. Markov chains have been production some fantastic stuff for decades, for exampl

"There's a small corner where they're just as bad! Checkmate!" I totally agree that should be swappable, but what is your point? Apple doesn't even allow installing stuff outside their store in most places, and had

tbh "trait" feels like a very problematic name for that type, for this kind of educational purpose - `trait` is already an established concept and keyword: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch10-02-traits.html I

Indeed, not like today, where we're closer to the metal and have as few abstractions as possible. Maybe we'll be able to use high level languages again after this RAM shortage passes.

It's sad, but they should've compulsively hit save after every few letters - it's documented very clearly on page 404 of the manual. It's a real shame that such things couldn't be done automatically until recently,

This is more than half of my code reviews (when functionally correct). It works pretty well, when you can trust that the person doing the changes won't accidentally (or otherwise) slip in behavioral changes. Like half just got merged a

I think it's fairly safe to say there's a measurable difference - fructose generally (afaict) has noticeably lower insulin responses compared to glucose. Though it's still very minor compared to the total change vs none of co

The HFCS stuff always feels weird to me. Like sure, there's glycemic index impact, it is measurably different, etc... but I feel like people don't realize that "high" fructose is different only by a few percent from tabl

That kinda fits, yeah - I hadn't thought of that description before. But like bad, nasty rum.

At this point I think it almost definitely is "most" in USA at least, going by volume/count/shelf-space. Like >90% of energy drinks use at least one (normal red bull is a rare exception), and diet sodas typically ha

Aspartame has a pretty strong, weird metallic flavor to it, and a lot of the sugar alcohols taste... idk, like a belch after a slightly sweet chemical cocktail? Some taste... airy, or dusty, like an absence of flavor, like there's a ga

It seems less likely that they'll find it before you're bitten by it if you intentionally race against them by choosing newest all the time, yea?

So... three incidents today, all of them ~1h or longer, and everything's green for the day with "no recorded downtime". These don't really look any different than past incidents which have red bars on their respective da

Which is something like 2/3rds successful in my experience (I use this daily), and requires tons of fiddling to get things looking even mostly reasonable (lots of misalignments and funky padding otherwise). And lots of applications don

Yeah, it locked up on me every couple months or so. Very glad to see it gone (as the primary ESC + F-row input). I also would not mind it in addition to regular keys, there are some great interactions in there. But it's an extremely

Honestly I'd expect that to be SIGNIFICANTLY easier to waterproof than a laundry machine. Partly because laundry is sometimes done warm, and warm softens materials (like gaskets), but mostly because laundry has surfactants that conside
