oh good question i have never hit this issue bc you need a massive amount of text to fill the whole screen. I have some natural breaks and subheaders. Each section is wrapped in its own columns

you can also just display text with multicolumn. solves the paragraph width "usability" and uses the full screen space not sure why its never used.. I also really dislike the current trend of giant white sidebars

thanks for bringing up Julia! I totally forgot it exists. Its really dropped off the HNniverse. Wonder why.. havent seen it mentioned in like a couple of years

Ah okay, then that makes sense. It really depends on your build system. My natural inclination would be to not have a pathfinding system in DEBUG unless I was actively working on it. But it's not always very easy to set things up to be

Just curious - is this from personal experience? I've never done it, but I just find it hard to believe the slow down would be that large. Most of the computation is on GPU, and you can set your build up such that you link to libraries

Trying to understand the Zig goals a bit better.. If you care about compilation speed b/c it's slowing down development - wouldn't it make sense to work on an interpreter? Maybe I'm naiive, but it seems the simpler optio

Where can you find a good description..? Does it have the equivalent "anti-Tivoization" requirement of GPLv3? I found Linus Torvalds' arguments for GPLv2 (vs v3) very compelling, but the SaaS loophole to contributing back see

LineageOS and company aren't Certified Android Devices. However, I think for instance a Vivo OriginOS device is. They will have a separate Play Service for Chinese-bound devices? Where are you getting your information btw?

I still don't understand a lot of the specifics of the signing. So they're going to force through this change with a Google Play Services update? This will affect even old devices - like ones running some kiosk app? How does this

Thank you for the links. Learned a lot It does kind of sound like the app that recognizes the most schemas will likely win. It seems there is no benefit to using a limited schema app - and you'd end up missing content that the creator

Mmm, I don't think what you're saying is true? I'll be honest I haven't touched Java in a long time, and I'm haven't had to extend my Clojure code this much before (but it's nice to know that I can - and u

This example just scratches the surface. I don't think it's showing any Clojure-magic per se, b/c in effect what you're showing is just "implementing an interface". You can do that in most languages. The magic

Maybe Haskell has some solution .. but it seems just an inherent problem with static typing. It's mostly a matter of boilerplate in a sense. In Clojure, if in your application you extend a record (say from some library) and implement a
