These physical analogies also make me think that for it to be message sending then it must be asynchronous, because if I send you a letter then I'm not forcefully frozen from the instant I drop it into the postbox until I hear back.

Didn't realise there was a more primitive NES version but I really enjoyed playing these on the Mega Drive and PS1. As a young kid I was not thinking about the people behind the games at all, so all such development/business trial

He posts a boilerplate comment slightly rephrased hundreds of times for several subjects, not just Dart. e.g. see any time Proton games on Linux comes up.

Talking of HiFi, playing the oft-mentioned streaming games running in a datacentre just kinda disgusts me on principle because it's a lossy video signal. I don't want to play modern games with visual artefacts on top - that's

It could theoretically be a B2B product only (or something else limited) and not B2C.

It could be a lot more closed than it is, from a general public perspective. i.e. the company having this cool AI and we not even getting the opportunity to use it at all.

I was aware that the Classic-style project boards were deprecated, because it had been communicated in the UI for quite a while, but kinda assumed that they would just become read-only, not get deleted. I had a few such boards both at user-

If we judge by results and not some notion of appropriateness then in my experience a lot of the miscellaneous CLI software written in Rust is great and high-quality from a user perspective. So if their authors are indeed making things hard

Nice tricks, though in a sane world this would be metadata on the config files and not in-band data. Of course, (ab)using comment syntax for structured machine directives is something many programming languages end up doing too. Here's

I've wondered about something related and the origin of Erlang in the 80s/90s. Back then when it was running on the telephone switches etc, was it running bare metal? Or did those switches run an OS like some form of Unix or somet

Zooming out, this is the case in a lot of the programming world in general. Massive, massive duplication of effort so that each language community can do the same stuff as everyone else, but in their preferred language. There's what,

Sublime Text has had some IDE-like abilities even before the LSP plugin, because its own filesystem code indexer reuses the syntax-highlighting language grammars to power best-effort goto-definition / goto-references functionality. How

Personally I don't really have a problem with 'normal' regex. Learned it to a decent level, have gotten many years of value from that, reading and writing, generally no issues.

by frou_dh 2y ago
Its regex dialect is horrendous because of the sheer number of additional backslashes you end up having to use in string literals compared to other languages, e.g. "\\(a\\|b\\)" vs "(a|b)". At least there's the &quo

Well it's not that they can't, but it's definitely work because it's a departure from the traditional model. Consider an editor feature, e.g. goto-definition. When working in a normal Python environment (global or virtua

A lot of people are bullshitters who say they would pay for your product but... only if it gets this additional feature or works differently. That gets implemented. They still won't pay.

To me the Astral folks have a lot of credibility because both their ruff linter and formatter have been fantastic. Elevates this kind of announcement from yet another Python packaging thingy to something worth paying attention to. I like th

I gather that in really old regex syntax the word boundary syntax used to be like this: [[:<:]]foo[[:>:]] ...so it could be worse!

That kinda conflicts with the psychology of motivation for elite-level training, where they know/feel there'll be a reward for putting in that extra training effort to be a tiny sliver better on the day.

Visual selection of elements to block has been available in plenty of Safari extensions over the years so what's the complaint?

Python arguably has better support for working with sum-types (algebraic types) than TypeScript does, because the language actually has a `match` statement (since 2021). Define a sum-type as a Union of dataclasses and the static type-checke
