   Agreed. This whole operation has been a superb advert for Ariane 5.

   I may be wrong but it may be based on babashka [1] which is a subset of the clojure runtime natively compiled, and has std IO files available built-in. 1 https://github.com/babashka/babashka

   All the best to everyone working on this tomorrow. Hope you get some suitably generous TOIL in January.

   I miss having easy map, reduce and filter functions that are accessible from within the array itself Those are be the sort of things that generics will enable.

   Supported formats: https://github.com/wader/fq/blob/master/doc/formats.md They should probably make this a bit more prominent. It's an impressive list for a new project.

   it was quite tedious to call another number Just as an aside, the reason the UK uses 999 as the emergency number is because it was much quicker to dial on a rotary phone.

    So what you have now is literally just a string to a path, something like "D:\apps\foo\bar\baz\libs\stuff\thingie\log4j-core.jar" or the Linux equivalent. Now what? The remediation (until you can get an update from the vendor)

    This is a really good sales pitch for both Nim and Htmx IMHO. I've used htmx a bit but never Nim. Even so, the code is easy to read and follow.

    I've been writing Python for the last few months. This week I've been hacking on some JS scripts. I was missing the type hints I'd get in Python via vscode. Until it occurred to me that vscode might support jsdoc out of the b

    Go ... has bad error handling, and other weird features. That's just, like, your opinion man ;)

    Further to other replies, you can dabble with Clojure using Babashka [1], a Clojure runtime compiled to native code that allows you to execute scripts without a full JVM. It also has support for defining & running 'tasks', whi

    Corvids are among the most capable problem solvers in the animal kingdom. Ravens are known to have copied complex sequences of actions, and not just in a rote fashion, but understanding what was being done (ie empathetically) and adjusting

    I deeply miss C++ templates in most other languages, excepting fully dynamic languages, and D. Have you tried Zig? Comptime templating it one of its selling points. https://ziglang.org/documentation/0.8.1/#compti

    Agreed. Pragmatism & DX looks to have had a huge focus here, which alone makes it much more interesting than other projects which I found fairly rough at the edges in comparison.

    I believe that's one of the things the `ops` tool does, ie takes an image and bundles it with eg script or config files.

    NanosVM has a concept called Packages [1], ie prebuilt images that package a language runtime or application component eg Redis. It looks like they have packages for various scripting languages. [1] https://nanovms.gitbook.io&#x2

    Apologies, this was over 30 years ago! IIRC it made extensive use of lookup tables, both building them and being driven by them. It wasn't a complete implementation, but it proved the theory and scratched an itch.

    Just re. point 1, I read somewhere that most interviewers make their initial mind up about a candidate in the first 4 minutes, and the decision changes after that in only a very small % of cases. I realise this is for a 2nd line position, b
