The community as a whole, basically. In practice this will be whoever shows up to the ensuing discussions at "meta wikimedia" and the scots wiki. The results of these discussions will be implemented by the editors tasked with over

Please let me know as well, either here or via DM. I can definitely look into this.

MediaWiki (the software that runs Wikipedia) has extensive built-in support for user scripts. There's a decent number of them, too, used for everything from automation of batch tasks to adding any feature one could ask for to the inter

Yup, I locked it pending the outcome of the talk page discussion; it would be nice to have a non-twitter source to point to.

Yeah, does anyone have a news source for this besides the one twitter thread? Wikipedia wants to know.

Did it in middle school through high school (FLL & FRC), and started volunteering freshman year in college. Incredibly fun experience throughout. I highly recommend mentoring and/or volunteering - the energy at a FIRST competition

The matches! macro looks awesome! Looking forward to using it a lot (especially to check variants).

Honestly wish I'd known about this when I was younger. In my opinion this could be a gateway for younger coders to start working on larger projects.

Does LLVM still take up much of the overall time spent by the Rust compiler? I was thinking of getting involved over there as the most effective way to make speed-ups happen.

Hoopl (data flow analysis) would also make a difference. I did a very similar project at my university in Haskell and Hoopl definitely saved us from writing quite a bit of code. We also used parser combinators in the frontend, which I think

Probably "an HN", as saying the letter "H" sounds like "ayy-ch" (in American pronunciation, at least), which has an initial vowel sound.

Completely agreed. I think Wikipedia has the right idea for dealing with company names like this - use title case and omit anything that isn't pronounced. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style

I read two books recommended here, and one that wasn't. The Idea Factory, by Jon Gertner, was absolutely fantastic; How the Laser Happened was also very interesting. I also read (still reading, actually) Mason and Dixon by Pynchon. Rea

Did you use parser combinators or what?

Mason & Dixon by Pynchon is also very, very good.

Nobody goes to the README for ads. The README is for a description of the project, and maybe some documentation. When I open the file, that's what I should see, not an ad for the paid version of the project and links to five different

It stands for Continuous Integration - here, it probably means a system where developers should check in (integrate) their code several times a day and where tests are run when code is checked in.

Disabling JavaScript seems to fix it. It's a shame that it's necessary; it's a nice article otherwise.

Small nitpick, and if you want some unsolicited feedback on that site: the GIF that shows a user using the site goes super slow and it would be a lot more engaging if the user typed faster. Although I don't know how much I can blame th
