recursive descent parsers are usually what I do for my little domain specific scripting languages. They are just easy and straightforward. I do like things like ANTLR, but most of the time it seems unnecessary.

Maybe AI is killing some people's corners of the web. The web itself is just fine. From what I can tell, it's mostly hitting the ad-sponsored parts. Online stores now actually need to focus on creating good content for their produ

a lot of the things being pointed out seem like non issues. It seems to me that this doesn't really explore that knowledge in head UIs are actually a lot more straightforward and easy to use with the knowledge in head. Most attempts

Nothing. It's pretty cheap, and saves all the hassle these people are going through to self host. I'd guess for most people here paying for music streaming service isn't really a problem. Buying all the music would likely

Just because I think some people are mistaking what is being talked about, OpenAI has chatGPT search, which is distinct from chatGPT. Here's the difference as per chatgpt search https://chatgpt.com/share/67f5ae28-5

chatGPT search puts links through out its results and has a sources button that shows all the sources it used. Just a headsup as I think a few people are getting this wrong, this isn't chatgpt but chatgpt search, chatGPT search is t

chat gpt search plugs in as a search engine and you can use it from your browser bar.... it also supports bangs like DDG, so you can do !g <search> and it will go to google, but I never find myself wanting google these days

chatgpt search has completely taken over my search, it's just better. Great that you then get to have follow up questions to narrow in or ask more. So common thing, looking for a product, it will find it, you can ask for other optio

have you tried chatgpt search? you can do "DC plane crash" or "Frob" it will come up with links to the story, but it will quickly give you a summary with links to its sources. Best thing is you can follow up with ques

On windows, for those that don't know, use Everything from https://www.voidtools.com/ This is a VERY fast file searching tool. It's crazy good.

I quite like Azure. Microsoft was also way more responsive than other cloud providers when we were looking to shift providers, we got free 3rd party consultation to setup our infrastructure in azure, it all ended up being more for less for

why? type inference is generally quite nice. Makes for clean code. One of the things I've enjoyed from using things like F#. All the advantages of strong and static typing without the cruft.

I think powershell is actually really well designed. Some of the syntax leaves a bit to be desired, but other than that I think it's really good. What do you think is poorly designed?

as a long time vimmer, the advantage isn't anything to do with editing speed, people can edit quickly in most any editor these days. It's more about having this editing "language" that allows you to be pretty expressive
