C doesn't make anything inconvenient, that's its major appeal. Some things are convenient by design, yes, but it's not trying to prevent you from doing anything. That's a feature.

Yeah, well, as stated: software written by humans will have bugs. The real danger with Rust is the cult like delusion that's not the case for them.

Oh, very much likewise, but there's always two sides to a coin.

Yeah, but the reason I gave it up was that the world moved on, and it hasn't stopped since. I'm still considering maybe getting a beefed up version at some point; but there are so many options floating around out there, very confu

That would be a question of definitions :) It's mostly addition by now, rare that something disappears or changes significantly. No prod use by anyone afaik.

Still waiting for proof; but yeah, so I've heard.

Agreed, the explanation for why this is standard procedure never made much sense to me. I just know it feels really shitty on the receiving end.

To an awful lot of people work is food and roof over their heads, and they're lucky if they can manage even that.

I would recommend actually learning something valuable rather than wasting energy on AI and becoming dumber in the process.

It hurts, but the sooner you realize what you mean to them, the better.

I like Norvig's approach, I'm in the process of porting it to my Lisp. https://norvig.com/sudoku.html https://github.com/codr7/eli-java/blob/main/examples/sudoku....

I had in mind everything since Vista. Its only saving grace is WSL2.

The high quality niche is exactly why AI is a bad idea. If I desire to fill my brain with slop, there are plenty of options.

Makes sense, Windows looks more like slop every passing day.

Sounds like SystemD to me, all it's missing is a good editor.

I like composable single feature allocators, a free list is just another kind of allocator that may be plugged in at any point. https://github.com/codr7/hacktical-c/tree/main/malloc1 https://g

Which misses the point of 20% imo; exploring space that would likely be missed in business as usual, encouraging creativity.

Agreed, channels are overrated and overused in Go. Like closures, channels are very flexible and can be used to implement just about anything; that doesn't mean doing so is a good idea. I would likely reach for atomics before mutexes i

Object Pascal as defined by Borland/Inprise/Embarcadero's Delphi has plenty of features that make it easier to build components. C++ Builder offers a similar experience. Straight C would certainly be possible, GTK is a step i

I was very depressed for a long time after giving up my Amiga 500 for a PC. The Amiga was a fun computer, it had integrity.

Have you asked your LLMs if they're capable of lying? Did the answers strike you as deceptive?

I know, feel the same about codes of conduct. People who need those kinds of rules are the least likely to follow and most likely to weaponize them. But I think we can agree it's a good thing to feel assured that having different opini

Definitely stuck. We found a pretty strong optimum that no one has been willing to venture outside, strong enough to keep selling and that seems to be all that matters these days.

I agree. Especially when reading Rust or C++. That's code I would prefer to have generated for me as needed in many cases, I'm generally not that interested in manually filling in all the details. Whatever it is, it hasn't be

I don't know, stacking monads is a comparable level of pain to me.

Common Lisp supports gradual typing and will (from my experience) do a much better job of analyzing code and pointing out errors than your typical scripting language.

Symbols are quoted representations of identifiers so it still does the same thing.
