I'm hyped for this; RustPython uses gitter as its main communication platform for developers and contributors, and while it's certainly worked quite well for us so far, I was slightly worried the slow pace of development and the d

You've got the mobile version twice there, I think you probably wanted to remove the "m." from one of them.

Had no idea that SQLite is actually created/"owned" by a company, I figured it was just a group of people or small foundation that was sponsored by a lot of companies. I find it kinda funny that in the same page where they li

I guess the same reason that `impl AsRef<T> for T` isn't implemented. (Not sure exactly what that is, but that would probably be a better question to look into, since you could argue that `AsRef<T>` should be manually imple

Huh, interesting. For stuff like this (human-friendly numbers/ids/codes) I tend to use google's base20 Open Location Code alphabet[0] that I read an explanation of a long time ago on their website[1] :P. Whereas this project

To be fair, it is an immutable shortened url, but it could still point to a random site that then redirects to a git url (when it's being benevolent). Definitely better to point directly to a git commit hash, though still a bit sketchy

Nim does this, and the whitespace is significant[0][1]: echo $foo # is parsed as echo($foo) [..] echo(1, 2) # pass 1 and 2 to echo echo (1, 2) # pass the tuple (1, 2) to echo [..] proc optarg(x: int, y: i

You can also always just find an old desktop box and install a lightweight distro on it -- my grandpa got a new computer a year or so ago so I took his ~10 year old HP box, wiped it, and installed alpine. Now I have it just plugged into my

I suppose I can answer this, as a high school kid: because it's interesting! I'm really interested in compilers and interpreters as well, I suppose because I think it's cool how they're so integral to all kinds of progra

Perhaps, but this seems to be moving towards a more holistic machine-readable article graph. If you look at a page from wikidata[0], it seems to be basically a key-value database (e.g. earth.highest point = [ mount everest { from sea level,

While the term open-source is a bit more vague, I'd argue that the software he's developing fits squarely into the term "free" (as in speech), as the FSF defines it. The source code is available to modify and fork, even

Let's take Rust's hash map entry api[0], for example. How would you represent the return type of `.entry()` using only a class hierarchy? let v = match map.entry(key) { Entry::Occupied(o) => { o.get_mu

I believe you can just use `.flatten()` instead of `.flat_map(|v| v)`: let mut output: Vec<_> = foo.stuff.into_iter() .flatten() .chain(bar.stuff) .collect(); I might make it slig

Well, yeah, that's their bargaining chip. If Microsoft wants to keep their workers, they should listen to their demands.

ICE only was founded after 9/11, and given that in their short history they've caused so much suffering, it's not unreasonable to demand that the agency be shut down.

I don't think encouraging a security department to keep working with a corporation would necessarily help stop the military/industrial complex.

It's really not that different of an issue (black lives matter but Latino lives don't?); I think the word you're looking for is not partisanship but intersectionality.

I unironically thought this was about Maya the 3d modelling software when I first read the headline, like that the maximum size limit for a Maya model had been found out or something like that. ️ Very interesting article though!

I really do agree that this is peak hackernews, but I'm a kid (or legal minor, at least) and I wrote both my AP exam essays in Markdown in vim; it's not really that crazy for kids to learn a plain-text prose format.

Maybe civilized elephants wouldn't really look like the elephants we know. Although people are fairly similar to apes, it would be hard to look at an ape and imagine them to evolve to humans as we are now, with bipedalism and hairlessn

I really like the idea of the Unix model as well, but you're not going to be able to use it effectively to write an actual application. If you're writing a word processor and you need to find the levenshtein distance between the

What? this seems to work: func( lambda: otherfunc( 1, 2, 3, 4 ) ) And you don't need statements, given that with haskell semantics there are no statements.

There doesn't have to be something wrong with a solution to deprecate it, there just has to be a better alternative.

ls is a shortening of "list", i.e. list directory contents, and grep is apparently Global Regular Expression Print.
