Yeah, a few years ago I tried the free ones, but eventually settled on Comic Code. I've been using it ever since - it's pleasant to code with. (If anyone is considering this - the "essentials" set with bold/italic i

I typically wash my wok (and any carbon steel skillet) before eating. They seem to be easier to clean while hot. But I use an outdoor butane burner for the wok, so I'm not heating it back up afterwards. I usually wash and set it upsid

Worse than that - people will start tagging "this value is a Date" via comments, and you'll need to parse ad-hoc tags in the comments to decode the data. People already do tagging in-band, but at least it's in-band and y

As someone who cut their teeth on a sun "programmer" layout, I really need control to be in that position. I might try mapping the vestigial control key to escape though. Or maybe the hack that dtj1123 describes (tap is escape, ho

Yeah it has been fun. Lots of directions I can take it: Since I have an LSP, I've got faster turn around and can add editor functionality that requires poking at the compile state. That's my current thread. I have a C backend on h

I've always found OCaml's (* ... *) comments annoying, because it needs shift for both characters. But I suspect it's easier to type on a french keyboard. Knuth solves the bracket issue by redefining his keymap to swap () wi

I commented on a relatives post about a giant zucchini, and started getting posts about zucchinis in my feed. A couple of years ago, Facebook noticed that I stopped scrolling for calvin and hobbes comics and started showing me a bunch of th

It's been a very long time, but my recollection was the Mosaic did images first, and it was non-standard. (The beginning of the end.) I might be thinking of some other feature though. I was also disappointed that the editing went away

My little language Newt is 7 kloc. Dunno if it's worth including, it's mostly an exercise to learn how these things work and is not as polished as I'd like. - Self-hosted - Compiles to javascript - Bidirectional typechecking

CNN is now reporting that the FAA had a meeting scheduled with the DoD on the 20th to discuss use of the system, but someone decided to use the system earlier. (The 20th is one day short of 10 days.) They also report that CBP was operating

Back when I was a kid in the 80's. I cracked one of the Ultima games. I had it on my hard drive and didn't want to stick a floppy in every time I ran it. The code decrypted itself, which confused debuggers, and then loaded a speci

When I was in school a lot of the CS students would take a telecommunications minor because they needed a minor and it was "easy". It included a film class.

Don't you end up with PDF if you start with PS and restrict it to a subset? And maybe normalize the structure of the file a little. The structure is nice when you want to take the content and draw a bit more on the page. Or when subse

Which one LLM book? I've got so much other stuff I'd rather learn and code I'd rather write (C/wasm backend for my language), but I've also started job hunting and probably should understand how this latest fad work

Yeah, for me with a USB headset, the audio will go noisy about two minutes into a video / podcast. It clears up if I restart and doesn't happen when playing to the internal speakers.

Yeah, I was concerned about the creativity thing early one, but both of my kids build random stuff from a sea of parts. Occasionally my older kid would decide to build a set again and be frustrated when they couldn't find the part they

As an example of a use case, "Gerrit Code Review"[1] is written in Java and uses prolog for the submit rules.[2] I haven't looked into the implementation. But taking a brief glance now, it looks interesting. They appear to b

For what it's worth, I think of the forward version as randomly selecting a card and putting it at the bottom of the new pile (0..i in the array).

If by Abe, you mean Abe Books, they're a subsidiary of Amazon. I believe Baen sells some DRM free sci fi books, but it's a smaller catalog.

I mainly moved on to Python because the startup time for scripts seemed to be a lot worse for Perl. I was a heavy Perl user in the 90's and early 2000's.

Congratulations on having a working language. You put a lot more effort into documentation than I have, but my language is just for me. ( https://github.com/dunhamsteve/newt ) You might be interested in checking out Adve

Although with code it's implementing functions that don't exist yet and with documentation, it's describing functions that don't exist yet.

Is JSC less tested? I thought it was used in Safari, which has some market share. I used bun briefly to run the output of my compiler, because it was the only javascript runtime that did tail calls. But I eventually added a tail call transf

This reminds me of the "snake oil method" for generating functions. It's been many years, but I remember it as adding another sigma and then swapping them.

I played them (starting with 4) back in the day. And 35 years later, I fixed a bug in the ScummVM version of U4. I discovered it while showing the game to my kid. I couldn't have predicted that back then. Although as a kid, I did fix a
