So I've heard this a lot. Am I the only one who found jq to be fairly sensible and intuitive? I'm not saying I don't need to pull up the docs once or twice for regex or leafpaths (or was it leaf_paths, lol), but overall I can

I don't know if it counts, but you could compile it down to llvm bitcode and run it on sulong as a part of graalvm. I imagine it comes with caveats but it's used for real stuff.

I hate to be a naysayer, but if you really want something like this -- just use ipython. You can put any python you want in a file and run $ipython -i main.py and it'll drop you in a shell with whatever you want in scope. It can load c

Weak take. No one's saying, "Need a Calculator? Nah, just use ChatGPT!". That's how you flounder in local optima. This is just line of inquiry that's a part of any research. The Wright Brother weren't solving &

Sincerely no snark intended. But this comment and another about "bottom-up" via Assembly and C kinda show that maybe you've missed the point. We can blame SICP itself for that maybe, but it's all in the name: Structure a

They're not making excuses for it— just clarifying why/how easy it can be to misunderstand the marketing material that led to that mistake.

The Nobel Prizes are awarded to "those who, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind." I'd always heard it as: It's not just about new physics but about impact for actual people. Is it

I'm not a US hater at all and agree with everything you've listed ... And a lot of thievery, broken treaties, and cheating too. How that makes you feel about the US — or about thievery's morality and place in history — is an

People forget! The O(nlogn) limit for the best worst case is for comparison sorts. I don't know if you consider it a "special case", but for more cases than not you can do guaranteed linear time to the number of elements: Rad

Hm. Maybe it's just from having grown up here but to me those cities are very different places — each with a dozen neighborhoods of their own. And they range from "urban" through suburban, to isolated neighborhoods. Especiall

I'm not sure how to consider the stats you're using here. Metropolitan areas aren't cities, the whole reason for the term is to include not just adjacent suburbs, but whole adjacent cities to major urban cities. Do we really

I'm not well versed in assembly, so learning assembly first would be the hard part! I'm with GP, it's fun seeing how solutions differ between languages as a way to peek into other language communities I don't spend as mu

Java just has an incredibly long, deep, relationship with the open source/FOSS world that is going to take C# a lot of time to catch up with. Java's also consistently had a much better story with backwards/forwards compatibil

I have no horse in this race — I'm not on Twitter — but does anyone know if the blue checkmark boosts your posts in the feed/recommendation engine? I'd expect it does implicitly at least because people must interact with thos
