"Trust" is (or at least can be) an emotion.

Yeah, none of the study results I've seen have been strong. I don't trust them all that much. I prefer snake_case and believe it probably is mildly more readable than camelCase. The underscore comes closer to space-delimited words

I think something akin to literate programming is a huge win for heavily-maintained tools. The trick is that most tools aren't heavily used at all, and thus the large amount of time it takes to build in a more literate style winds up b

There is at least one study that supports snake case being more readable: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?reload=tru...

As one who has worked on ancient servers: Yes, installing updated third-party tools is very unlikely to happen. Installing updates to your own tools is likely a regular occurrence. So, your development style evolves to fit those constraints

What about evolution guarantees there was no conscious designer? We write genetic algorithms and use machine learning to build things. If you believe in a Simulator or a God (and in many ways they're indistinguishable beliefs), either

Yes. If we do in fact construct androids that are functionally indistinguishable from humans, it's solid circumstantial evidence for the materialist view (though not a pure slam dunk, per the p-zombie concept). Until something like t

I'd have said those are very, very similar things, if not I fact the same. Granted, code requires far more details than many conceptual explanations, but it is still one.

I've used a few of the different git diff algorithms and still have had problems like these.

That's certainly a good point. Languages usually change slowly, though, so once a good baseline grammar is in place, maintenance is unlikely to be a huge load. Furthermore, with tools like tree-sitter and the language server protocol,

by NateEag 5y ago
This tool is built on tree-sitter ( https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/ ), so presumably it doesn't need to maintain parsers at all. I've thought before this is how diffing should be done, and speculated

Not i3 - the energy consumption of running three large monitors.

That's interesting. Thanks for the info!

Only tangentially related, I'm personally intrigued by redo, but have never had a good justification for trying it out. It looks eminently reasonable to me, and Avery Pennarun plus DJB sounds like a majorly winning team to me. https:&

You're welcome! (And that should have read "later sequels", not "player sequels". Smartphones.)

Interesting. Thank you very much for sharing your journey!

Were you religious before you joined the Orthodox Church? What inspired you to join it?

You can't change the likelihood of the event, but you can change the likelihood of your survival. New Zealand will probably not be hit in an exchange. It would be a safer place to live in event of nuclear war.

The Hedge Knight does a wonderful job of contrasting Dunk's pure, steadfast insistence on doing what's right and upholding a knight's duty no matter the cost with the selfish meaningless insanity of the political machinations

Non-violent Communication, by Marshall Rosenberg. It taught me so much about how to empathize with someone and genuinely listen to what they're saying. It's a bunch of very straightforward advice that I would never have gotten to

Yeah, precisely. As that website I linked says, if the email looks suspicious but is technically valid, ask them "Are you sure you didn't mean this?", but let them choose what they put in. However, if the address as given is

Debounce can be very personal - exactly how you push the keys has a significant impact on bouncy/chatter your keys are. It's not just about the mechanisms. I have an ErgoDox EZ as my daily driver, and have occasionally had some de
