There is a firefox extension that I use, called Stylus[1], that lets you add custom CSS to websites. The thing that helps most is that Stylus lets you browse other people's styles for website, and there are already themes for Dan Luu&#

One of the premises of the article is that cross-training does not bear fruit, but I recall claims that, for example, piano players picking up guitar had a much easier experience, than a non-musician picking up guitar. Perhaps reality is mo

There is also cookiecutter [1], that attempts a crack at the same problem you are describing. There is also a nice website [2] that searches for all the cookiecutter templates and lists them. [1] https://cookiecutter.readthedocs.

I would assume the people bothered by an increase in byte-sized overhead are not the ones that are using 2^32 length strings. About the cache, I think for small strings, scanning the whole string may still be faster. Though adding a four-by

@joseph8th mentioned a shell [1] earlier, that at least at first glance, seems to be a python + bash combination, similar to what powershell does with .net. [1] https://xon.sh/

I really like that definition of "surprising". While I am amused by auto-antonyms, and words that mean opposite things while having the same root, I never found them to be surprising, because being the complete opposite of somethi

Hardware random number generators do have some security issues though. Linux devs were opposed to solely relying on them, because they can be compromised by the vendor [1]. So they are at best used in algorithms that they can not compromise

Can you not just not write the documentation, even if it resides in the same repository, and then later make a commit to update it, as a separate task?

From what I read on the subject, this _was_ the main way of dealing with calculus, but it was not rigorous. The first rigorous definition of a limit was given using the epsilon-delta approach, by Weierstrass, with of course many many contri

From what I understand, you do not work directly with infinite, but infinitude, basically a hyperinteger that is bigger than any integer. For which H + 1 = H does not hold.

This is a small excerpt from a draft blog post I am currently writing: - Python forces the `py` affix in words: scrapy, scapy, rpyc - Python does wordplay on standard library modules' names: pickle => dill - Emacs and Julia append t

This is the story [1], told by Stallman. But yes, basically because Common Lisp was too big. That is also the reason GNU uses Scheme as a language for extensions. [1] http://www.gnu.org/gnu/rms-lisp.html

I was reading the thread and replied to a very similar situation. The only addition was that if you want only a magit interface, it makes no sense to load the rest of your emacs config, so you could add a special magit initialization file,

Can you try `lsp-doctor` and try to resolve any performance hints it outputs? The latest `lsp-doctor` seems to also know about the native compiler, so one less thing to worry about when checking.

Would the need for a pure terminal magit be resolved by the fact that Emacs can run in the terminal? [1] seems to have a solution to obtain a fast starting subset of Emacs and start into magit-status directly. emacs -Q -nw --load magi

I guess GNU Hurd [1], jokingly speaking, but correct from an architecture (ukernel) point of view. The real community-driven alternative is Linux, which started and still is a monolithic kernel, but the multiple features it got along the ye

I assume even in radio and TV, not all segments are created equal. Maybe live, ad-libbed shows had a more detrimental effect, in the sense that at least scripted shows employ more writers? Also, would it not make sense to look at writing ev

I see that it is very similar to <progress>, and may be misused as a progress bar (which w3 actually even acknowledges and guides against). I wonder why one tag could not have sufficed.

Yes, iterators are typically a hard[1] problem in Go. I think this essay[2] describes perhaps the closest lazy eval iterator pattern in Go, which is much more complex to write than languages like Python. [1] https://ewencp.org&#x

I try to use Drew DeVault's method [1], which is similar, but it seems much more straightforward. It uses a regular git repository in $HOME, a .gitignore file that is just a `*` so that it ignores all files and you have to force add th

A thing to keep in mind in these situations is that making the system a bit more type safe may be more personally satisfying for the engineers. They may see that as a more worthy goal than fixing `n` additional bugs. Same thing with prematu

When I opened this post, I saw it was much wider than any post I have seen on hackernews. I tried looking into the css, I thought it was somehow different, for whatever reason. I could not find anything and then I encountered your comment.

I have compiled straight from source on the feature/native-comp branch, and it works noticeably much faster. I am actually scared of going back to the regular Emacs, as I may find it way too slow. I am not sure how much it is from nati
