I've always loved this project, I've used it a lot for making my scripts into internal tools for everyone in the team, even non-technical staff

> people using them feel more productive but take longer than using GUIs I hope that this isn't the case for me poking around in vim, using ctags etc. But sadly it may be true.

That's really interesting, I didn't think you'd be able to spot nests from the shore like that

Oh 100%, I was responding to the parent who's response was 'No'. Even if you have 100% ban on strcpy and z-strings you're forced to use them in certain cases (like argv), and I was pointing out that sometimes we engage w

That's amazing thanks for sharing it

That's really surprising that they could survive with such a small range! How are they counted during their migration?

Well in an interview I guess something like "Of course we shouldn't allow C-strings in general outside of syscalls and argv, but for the purpose of the exercise...." And now you've shown that you know what you're ta

SQLite now has a machine-generated bug forum(sqlite.org)

Interestingly, sqlite has had many AI-generated bug reports, so Dr Hipp has created a forum only for those reports. As one of the most-tested codebases out there, I'm surprised to find something like 50 reports, and most of them look r

I find it very quiet and calm compared to when I'm near scuba divers - I can often hear them from 50+m away. I've never tried scuba myself though, so I can't directly compare them

A fun read until the got banned!

Do you know why they did this? I wonder if they worked out that the advertising space was more valuable than retiring the service, or some other reason

Interesting! I suppose my thought is that once you scale up to running a team of recruiters you end up incentivising behaviours like 'build a list of CVs', 'pattern-match on keywords' and other pointless nonsense. I have

This was a really fun read. I loved the retelling of the explosion of new discoveries - "A consistent pattern in the new era of discovery has been that some bizarre microbe is discovered living in a preposterous environment like a hydr

On the competence question I find my own experience frustrating. I can be very competent in certain areas, and barely functional in others. I've also thought about taking on technical recruiting because it's done so poorly (at lea

Ah I should have put that on my list, I've done a lot of standup paddle boarding and kayaking on the harbour, and I can highly recommend it. Places like Balmoral are ideal for it because it's very calm and there's a lot to se

Thankyou! I'll add them to my list

I have a car, actually I have briefly visited Mount Annan for lunch, but I should go back and spend some time there. Thanks for the other recommendations!

I live in Sydney, does anyone have any recommendations on things I should do? Things I'd like to try - * Visiting the tank stream (I believe there are tours) * The Greater Sydney Bike Trail * Walking from Manly to Bondi (80km along the

I smiled my way through this entire thing. It's trivial and pointless, but what's the point of interstellar travel if we can't have a decent cup of coffee?

There's a couple of examples in the repo [0] eg <ul :loop="$page.subpages()"> <li href="$loop.it.link()" :text="$loop.it.title"></li> </ul> Which allows you to

Annoyingly I actually think '\r\n' is the correct line ending here - advance the paper and return the carriage, but I suppose unix took the simpler implementation which makes looping over characters, words (split by ' ')

I really like this idea because I like a lot about C (simple, little-to-no runtime) and a lot about go (multiple returns, explicit error checking, defer, struct tags, interfaces), but I like very little about C++, which people often suggest

I always enjoy reading about minimal languages and what they offer. In this case Kristoff has designed a small language that must define a single expression (no loops or variables etc). It reminds me a little bit of jq

Strangely enough I tried using vi mode for readline and hated it even though I use them constantly in vim. I just hated having to switch modes on my terminal

Often I see that there's a new feature, and I'm interested in it, but my options are do the demo now, or hide it. But I want to do it later! I'm admittedly terrible at operating GUIs, so maybe it's just a me issue
