Nah, the thread is about people redoing the whole car , adding airbags, swapping out the carburetor, installing power steering, and maybe throwing in a new stereo and a paint job. sed vs. sd, for example https://github.com/

I read it as an attempt to be a little cheeky, or at least tongue-in-cheeky. Teasingly applying a mildly unflattering term to the behavior the writer actually thinks is good.

This is interesting; I have a very different perception. In my experience the last few chapters are the ones where the author has decided they're done with their main premise and has gone out on a limb (which often breaks under them).

Hmm, I guess that's possible, but it seems a little strange given this website is attached to a GitHub repo for what seems to be a real (albeit also weird) programming language. The langauge pitch page was posted earlier: https:/

The headline may or may not be true, but this essay is a bizarre mishmash of superficialities and non sequiturs, with a dash of "anyone could rewrite it better" thrown in.

Personally I find that for every feature that works out of the box there's two others that don't do what I want the way I want it. So I like my tools to be hackable. This does take time, and I admit I'm not always on the righ

Semantic is pretty cool. The advantage that Treesitter has (shared with LSP servers) is that it's client-agnostic. So while no one besides fellow Emacs users are going to hack on the Semantic parser for a given language, Treesitter can

Right, Treesitter just gives the client program a syntax tree; it will be up to Neovim to map that to editing commands. (And the fidelity will depend on the quality of the specific language's Treesitter parser.)

If you are interested in continuing to use emacs, I'd suggest using the profiler to investigate. There's a good demo/depiction of doing that here: https://www.murilopereira.com/how-to-open-a-file-in-emacs&#x2F

This was a great read! It's not material to the point, but I think there's a small typo on line 12 of the second "Finishing the example" snippet: it looks like let instructions = gather args should be let

Prolog might also belong on that list as another "weird" paradigm to explore.

Technology could help out here, though. It would be nice for there to also be an explicit switch in device settings allowing the user to choose whether the GPS data should be included when the camera takes a photo. This would be separate fr

Tomatoes and tobacco are actually reasonably closely related already: same Family, Solanaceae. (I wouldn't be surprised if that fact inspired the episode.) They might even be cross-breedable as is.

This is oversimplifying in the opposite direction in my opinion. The important thing is not the letters, it's how they manifest -- the way they're interpreted as instructions. So the objection is to taking a paragraph of Ulysses

I would assume gas stations will start adding waiting room space, like you see in tire shops, car washes, etc. Of course they might do even better to add a more coffee shop kind of thing, so they can also sell you a muffin or something whil

You might be unaware that it's not spelling out individual words letter by letter. It's closer to a "pictographic" language (likely there's a better term, please correct me) where a sign will stand for a concept, an

As a thought experiment we could consider whether the legal specifications would be necessary if this awareness of situational and widespread ability differences was more established in our culture. What if all doors, everywhere, were easil

You're still not going to look right, though. You will have the "wrong" shoes, or you'll keep them so long from thrift that they'll go out of fashion. Your one set of nice clothes is precious to you in a way that th

Speaking as someone who has come to my tech career later in life (and after another career), this is absolutely correct. All industries have their problems: software is no exception, there are things that could be better. There are bad days

Absolutely, and this has a flip side: when you try to articulate the actual harm, sometimes you realize there isn't one. And then you can learn to calibrate your own perspective about what's truly a problem as opposed to just a
