I love docopt and I love rust. This thing written at [the docopt rust repo.] worries me > the wider docopt project is mostly unmaintained at this point. Consider using clap or possibly structopt instead. It's a lovely way to interna

I asked this too late on the last SVB thread: I have a naive question. When I was a little kid and the FDIC only insured the first $100,000, I thought, "If I were rich, I'd have to have multiple bank accounts." Do big compani

This is very sad. I've been at sdf.org for 20 years and always knew grex as "that other, similar place". Every once in a while, SDFers would talk up the positive aspects of grex and a bunch of people would join up and play ga

My son's math teacher have them putting it after. I explained that's not the traditional way, but since it's one of the first units they'll encounter, it's not a terrible idea pedagogically.

I don't know. Trans-fat turned out to be super bad. I'm leery of trans-sugar.

Just about everything is faster to read, do, and interact with via terminal. One of the few exceptions would be reading a novel, though :)

It's interesting, but feel free to skim through the hyper-verbose introduction.

This is a very good idea. Offering authenticated donations could be a good revenue stream for charities, too.

I've just started using random triples/quartets of letters at my domain. There's pretty slim advantageein literally getting email from bestbuy@mydomain.net.

That'd be lovely. Wish there were a way to convince ICANN or whoever to do it.

It's attractive because it implies extra-terrestrial life exists. People find extra-terrestrial life very attractive.

Please put up a donation button/buy-me-a-coffee/whatever while you're still figuring out the best way forward. I always wonder if casual gratitude adds up to as much as ad networks. Probably not.

Try splitting a string on a delimeter in C++. Now that I'm fluent in both languages, I find myself constantly irritated by how comparatively uphill simple things can be in C++. I'm always reaching for boost, waiting for 2017, or j

Exactly. I didn't even use adblockers before I had kids and thought about them being tracked. Now I use a pihole and bend myself in knots trying to figure out how to pay sites I visit.

This is so true that "Growing the Beard" is the opposite of "Jumping the Shark" in TV tropes: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GrowingTheBeard

They're likely referring to the (not too crazy idea) to slowly deprecate C++ in favor of Rust. There's plenty of extant code to work on, of course. https://www.zdnet.com/article/programming-languages-its-time.

You're noticing the algebraic numbers + all the transcendentals that you happen to need throughout your life (\pi, e, etc.) are countable. Sounds kind of deep, but plenty of proofs apply to uncountable sets. We finite little humans jus

I love Brazil and nagged lots of friends to see it. I now see through their eyes that it's pretty long if you're not enjoying the scenery.

This is hard for non-technical people and I want to hear what they have to say. The only thing I like about twitter/facebook/medium/etc. is that I get to see what the whole world would do if they knew how to `vim index.htm

It's a matter of taste. I find inheriting code riddled with witty logic puzzles distasteful, so prefer my predecessor to have written Python, which constrained them from crafting too many. Some people want a project to be a series of c
