Right, the wild thing for me is when you mutate `i` in the loop body. So at the same time `i` is scoped to the iteration so that you can capture it, but also mutating it affects the loop-scoped `i` that is incremented between iterations and

Seems like a pragmatic decision where the breakyness of the change is mitigated by the module versioning thing. Old code gets the old behavior, code written in newly created or updated modules gets the new behavior. Everybody is happy, comp

by ben0x539 3y ago
But isn't it completely wild that the `for (let i =`... version works like that? What does the loop 'desugar' into if written as a while-loop?

by ben0x539 3y ago
Yeah I don't think it's so much "we explicitly rely on this behavior, how dare you change this" as "somewhere in our mountains of maintenance-mode code that haven't seen the sun shine through an editor window i

I assume that if compiling with 1.22 or later, you still get all the benefits from that version like other new features, bug fixes or perf improvements, just not this particular change.

Of course they're smart enough to have a proper inode-based filesystem. They're probably just not smart enough to swap out the file system their customers are using without their customers getting mad at them.

How is it more acceptable because it's a combination of two things? Lots of objectionable outcomes are a combination of multiple factors!

I like the feeling of hanging out with likeminded people or friends and showing each other the cool stuff we're working on. Asking for (or receiving!) even nominal amounts of money makes it a completely different kind of interaction an

Ah, I didn't think of it at all, I was only thinking about a hypothetical responsibility of whoever is in charge of the git repository, not the extra github flavoring.

Are there legal reason the information has to be kept in the Github repo? Maybe the Rust foundation could keep it in a PDF on some office computer somewhere.

by ben0x539 3y ago
Of course it's technically feasible. You do the filter-branch thing and then you force-push. Sure, it would be very inconvenient for everybody who has a clone of the repo, but I don't think that's a convincing argument to a

On unixy systems, they put a restriction into Nethack to limit the game's "wizard mode" (the fuck-around mode where you can't die and just create all kinds of stuff out of thin air, etc) to the unix user with the usern

I wonder how fast you could get at typing everything onehanded with some modifier key that mirrors the keyboard. Right hand is probably more useful there.

I think go loggers have tried to move away from passing log entries as maps for performance reasons.

Yeah, not falling for that, clearly an attempt to drastically lower the entropy of people's correct horse battery staple passphrases.

When AI was 20 years away, people seemed more optimistic about it than now when its inevitable transformative societal impact is seemingly right around the corner, are you sure this is the kind of example they were going for?

I figure someone is going to come along who's excited about adapting the dishwasher for their own use cases, since they also don't want to do dishes. Maybe they'll even have it support their social circle's use cases so

I'm 200% convinced there are plenty of people out there who could easily be nerdsniped into building an open source dishwasher! Hackers get up to all kinds of stuff that doesn't seem traditionally fun!

Whoa, I've been having opinions about error handling and result types and checked exceptions for like years and I never considered that Java couldn't be "properly" polymorphic over checked exception types. Thanks for poi
