People looking to break out some nostalgia for the original while they wait can use the excellent engine rewrite reminiscence¹. The author also has a really cool JS implementation for the cutscenes² linked at the bottom of the main page. ¹

A discussion¹ of an earlier related post² from the same author brings up a lot of the — sometimes subtle — problems with relying on here documents/strings in shell scripts. ¹ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=298452

I've spent a little time wondering if it is acceptable to push emacs as a runtime lately. For example, I've convinced a few co-workers to use magit, and they're comfortable with it when using a shell wrapper to start emacs a

I've attended a few Haskell conferences over the years and the make up tends to be fairly evenly split between PL researchers, defence, aerospace, and finance. I recall the food stop after an event at Imperial where our table was twen

I'm one of those weird users who works in both, and I've also never really understood the need to pick a side. I initially used emacs for years, and now I've used both for years. I also don't pick a side in the tea and

Excellent, thanks! I'm purposely being careful too. Big backoff on any error, curl's --time-cond from git commit timestamp, etag where possible, etc. I'm not particularly concerned about an actual DoS'ing issue, more

Slightly tangential to this post, but related to the series. Have you had any pushback from the sources you've been scraping with actions? I can't imagine how lightly hitting GitHub from this action is a problem, but a few of the

Given developers testing against shells that implement the spec, and a solid spec, and a variety of implementations that correctly implement that spec then I'm in full agreement with you. However, the moment you add caveats to that de

Not to discourage the Show HN on your IMO excellent project, but I want to point to the non-Show HN discussion from the other day¹. A bunch of interesting comments, plus the expected diversions ;) ¹ https://news.ycombinator.co

Ick, you're right. I was thinking solely about the change with their version of the "2>&1" vs "2>& 1" case. Although making such an error in my example doesn't seem to invalidate my point. It

I think chubot presents a pretty good reasoning in his documentation for oil¹. Basically I think it comes down to there being a lot of problems with bash scripts, but the currently alternatives to bash just introduce a different set of pro

I think part of the problem is that we still don't have a standard /bin/sh even though there is a written standard. It feels fair to me to suggest that you can call dash the working standard on Linux, but you can't trus

The language looks really quite interesting. I could see myself using it for quick scripts. I think I'd prefer bash's noclobber behaviour to be the default redirection style. The explicitness of being forced to >| always feel

The section on the try operator¹ includes an example showing the syntactic sugar to reduce the verbosity. It does feel like it might be better to introduce it earlier on, as I was feeling the same way as you until I saw that. ¹ https:&#x2

Looks good! It would be nice if there wasn't an early exit when a matching directory is found in `def.config`. That way you could have multiple matches for a directory, and it would make simple stacking work for subdirectories too. T
