I'm not super far in but I'm very happy with it so far. I recommend it very highly and am very skeptical of anyone recommending reading the dragon book without doing something more hands on like this first. Maybe that book is mor

The first couple chapters of crafting interpreters (free) cover lexing and parsing and precedence well and it's very readable and practical rather than theoretical.

I think prestudying vocab before doing more extensive reading is a great technique and I haven't seen it mentioned much. I've got a rough prototype of a tool for finding unknown words in text with european languages, but you'

I personally would strongly recommend going the rust route having spent a decent amount of time learning Haskell. I think youll spend more time working on real problems and learn more about low level programming, in addition to the code be

Loc (mine) is usually faster in my tests but doesn't handle comments that start in strings, so if there's something like x="/*" it can be way off, so I usually still point people at tokei. I need to try implementing

I'm into all those things including heavy dice and being choosy about my coffee mug. Also magic the gathering card sleeves and the choice of land art. And now that I think about it, everything physical I own really.

I thought I similar utilization in tokei on my machine. I copied the concurrency pattern straight from ripgrep. I'll have to take a look tomorrow. I assumed I was still bottlenecked on reads.

I just tried switching from mmaping everything in loc to always just reading all bytes in the file and it went from about a second to ~530ms on the linux kernel, with tokei at around 750ms. edit: ryzen 1700, 3.8gz, 8cores 16 threads, fedora

I don't know why this never occurred to me. Thanks for the idea. I've always exited i3 when I have the rare need for something from gnome I don't know how to do without the UI.

There's a world of difference between a proper conspiracy and thinking GMOs and powerful pesticides might not be a good idea. I don't avoid them but I don't think it's all that unlikely they'll turn out to have neg

That makes perfect sense to me and is my kind of thing, Mastodon seemed to be more on the pro censorship for people who identify as robots kind of thing.

I would view it as a fundamental parts of the system not to be flexed with. You're also never going to get back anything you give up. You could easily live through 50+ years of incrementally handing over bits and pieces of your right
