Truly one of the underrated perks of adulthood is deliberately misusing current slang to annoy young people! Put that in your gyatt and vape it!

Man, you really can’t escape Hyrum’s Law ever! Now we have people depending on the iteration order being random!

I agree fully, but there’s more than that. It’s just bad marketing! Like, don’t conjure this image into people’s heads when thinking about your product! It seems like they care more about making some juvenile point about how offensive words

Nicely done! The multi-wprd identifiers with spaces in them is really freaking me out :)

I agree, very readable. One interesting thing: the sieve array does not have static bounds, the size of it is an argument. Presumably that means it’s stack-allocated dynamically a la ”alloca” (I doubt it’s heap-allocated, given there’s no f

If you truly believe this, there’s no reason you would want to add checksumming to SQLite either. Either the data you write can be corrupted or it can’t.

Honestly seems pretty reasonable to me. SQLite operates above the filesystem, and it seems to me the filesystem is the appropriate place to do this kind of error correction/detection. If you need this kind of durability of your data, w

It is really gorgeously written Haskell. I’ve only dabbled in Haskell, but you’re really shetting my appetite for digging in deeper.

Yep, the same, M1 Pro from 2021. It's remarkable how snappy it still feels years later, and I still virtually never hear the fan. The M-series of chips is a really remarkable achievement in hardware.

If it's a serious enough issue, GitHub staff can almost certainly still step in and manually restore all that stuff if needed.

More and more the last couple of years, I’ve started to realize that ”configuration languages” are just a bad idea. Please, for the love of all that is holy, just let us use a real programming language. For simple declarative configuration,

I'm very pessimistic this is ever going to work. Even if they get above the threshold with everyone still on board, I'm certain this is going to be challenged in court and overturned. Not that there's anything unconstitutiona

Yeah, this one is so weird. You've been able to do that forever in C, and virtually all big compilers have this keyword in C++ as well, just named __restrict. Why is it so hard to get into the standard, at least for pointers? I can ima

Yeah, fair, but the slots in Life are mapped to MIDI, so you can trigger them that way if you want, you don't have to use the built-in sequencer.

We were very happy to get that working as well as it did, the first time we've ever made an app (we're VERY much audio plugin people, not app developers). Worked really nicely in the end!

I think "every PR should be a single commit when merged" is a bit too dogmatic. If the PR is logically split up into bits of work that conceptually separate and that compile/run independently, then it makes sense to have thos

I wanna say that Abseil's hash function does something like this? It was a couple of years ago, but I remember tearing my hair out figuring out why hash tables passed from a C++ api to my tests were failing. Turns out, the tests and th

Very cool! This seems like an excellent backup utility as part of core SQLite. Great that you can still run write transactions on the origin while it’s in progress, i wonder what the guarantees are there for which in-progress transactions a

You don't actually need to have the "adjust priority of element" operation to implement Dijkstra or A-star. The standard description of the algorithm always include this, but it is not actually necessary: instead of adjusti
