Very nice. Now I want to build a language server. If only I had anything to build it for.

I never understood why Apple discontinued 3D Touch. I agree that it was a very nice typing experience.

Singing is one of the few things that I suspect may not be just learned. Sure, you can improve a little, but not go from complete trash to someone you would actually tolerate hearing sing. I think our anatomies constrain us much more than f

Same for Portuguese. Some of them were quite easy to read out loud, but every word started with a `b`. That's not a tongue twister.

That was a little confusing to me as well. English is not my native language, so maybe I just didn't understand the nuance.

I had the same exact experience with an Indian contractor. I requested that he used git instead of Shopify CLI for his changes to a store's theme. He acknowledged my request but kept using the CLI. I once again asked him to use git and

Love the concept, but I couldn't figure out how to play. I can't hit the ball back even though I'm typing the right word. I keep getting a hint that says that I should type the return word and press enter, which I do, but not

photopea.com is entirely written in JavaScript and as far as I know, it doesn't use any fancy JS framework.

I was very susprised to not be the first to enter a quotation by Nelson Rodrigues. Nice.

I have the same feeling riding the TGV in France. When another train passes in the opposite direction, the pressure in the interior of the cabin even changes. Not sure if it lowers or raises, but I can definitely feel it in my ears.

Is the prime minister typing out official documents himself?

I thought planes had insane redundancy exactly so stuff like that don´t happen. How can a bit flip cause the system that controls altitude to malfunction like that?

Unfortunately the answer to that is the Discord server of whatever technology I'm working with. Communities are now separated each in their silo on Discord, far away from the public internet, where nothing can be indexed.

And by that description, I assume it's never going to be ready for primetime.

Really cool project. To be honest, I think I don't fully understand the concept of a content addressed language. Initially I thought this was another BEAM language, but it seems to run on its own VM. How does Unison compare to BEAM lan

I have the exact same feeling. Turning 30 was like flipping a switch for me. Since then, I've even felt like I've become more intelligent, especially in math. It's like everything suddenly clicked. I struggled with math throu

What do you mean? You can already do loopless! Just send events recursively. AKA functional functionless architecture.

This is awesome! I've been looking for something to use as my calendar app. I just moved from macOS to Linux. On macOS I used the default calendar app. Because I still have an iOS device, I'd like to sync iCloud events with my co

You can use WhatsApp on a browser. If you have Chromium installed, you can even "install" WhatsApp as a PWA.

I had the same feeling when I lived in Porto and later visited San Francisco. The two cities have so much in common: similar temperatures, they're both famous for their bridges (Porto actually has several), the fog that rolls in regula

I know that not too long ago there was a "bridge", which was a bunch of boats aligned from one margin to the other. Not sure if this counts as a bridge.

I was wondering the same thing about the road crossing the Douro between present-day Vila Nova de Gaia and Porto. Was there a bridge there during Roman times? Interestingly, it would be right where the Luiz I Bridge is now.

From your comment, I'm assuming you're mostly familiar with interpreted languages. Chances are that you know JS/TS. If that's the case, I suggest that you give Go a go. The learning curve is way softer than Rust's a

Maybe they could just initially launch v3.1 instead of a v3.0. They would still be technically correct.

I mean, we've had RUN_DOOM for many years now, so why not?

I'm a native Portuguese speaker. Here, when people are first starting to learn programming, it's very common for them to write code in Portuguese. For example, they would write this simple age verification algorithm: int verif

Not everyone knows Rust, but JavaScript is widely known. A library that delivers Rust-level performance without requiring developers to learn anything new would likely be very popular. That being said, if you need Rust performance, it'
