Even if one could verify grammatical correctness, there are many ways to produce unnatural Japanese phrases. To give an easy example: 9つ (9 things) is natural, but 10つ sounds extremely strange. However, 10個 sounds fine. When the number is l

In my experience, at least with Clojure, it's much more convenient to serialize XML into a map-like structure. With your example, the data structure would look like so. {:tag :greeting :attrs {:href "#" :attr &qu

That works because the length field acts as a fill pointer. In Common Lisp, it's also a common technique to empty an array in-place by setting the fill pointer to 0. The concept is quite old! In most cases, there isn't a beneficia

Earlier today, I found a bug in Discord where one of the login forms in Japanese uses 「はい」 ("Yes") as the label for the "Log in" button. The button in question is right beneath a label stating 「パスワードをお忘れですか」("Forgot

Although it's a very lazy practice, this is exactly how many Japanese sites (and internet services) fight against bad actors. In short, they block non-Japanese traffic and data center IPs. I expect these measures to become insufficient

Anonymous functions are not primitive values, so JavaScript passes them as pointers. React uses strict equality when comparing props, so non-primitive values are compared with pointer equality. The useCallback hook allows one to cache anony

At a previous job, the frontend was a ClojureScript codebase dating back to around 2013, with a React-based UI. The codebase survived a decade of major upgrades to ClojureScript and React, and many chunks of code in git blame dated back t

The purpose of `unsafe` is for the compiler to assume a block of code is correct. SIMD intrinsics are marked as unsafe because they take raw pointers as arguments. In safe Rust (the default), memory access is validated by the borrow checker

The file viewer is especially strange. Scrolling is janky on iOS (presumably they are trying to control scroll position and this interferes with Safari's scroll bar). Last time I looked into the file viewer, I believe it was rendered a

Seconded. Zed makes it trivial to provide entire codebases as context to Claude 3.5 Sonnet. That particular model has felt as good as a junior developer when given small, focused tasks. A year ago, I wouldn’t have imagined that my current u

In the case of Common Lisp, yes. Other lisps (e.g. Clojure) don't really have interactive debugging, value inspection, live disassembly, or anything like the condition system (which allows programmatic access to the debugger and automa

The article fails to mention whether Scala can ensure code is deterministic and hermetic. Starlark code is deterministic and hermetic, but the article never mentions this. Unfortunately, Starlark does not have static typing, but I think typ

FLAC allows embedding a seektable but encoders rarely emit one in practice. Since FLAC boils down to a mix of verbatim subframes and linear predictive coding (specifically, polynomials with warmup samples or Rice coding), non-verbatim subfr

I'm not familiar with Cursor, but I've been using Zed with Claude 3.5 Sonnet. For side projects, I have found it extremely useful to provide the entire codebase as context and send concise prompts focusing on a single requirement.

Distributing a single uberjar, whenever possible, is generally a good idea IMO. One major reason I like the JVM as a platform is that I don't need to mess with containers or native images. To reduce burden of deployment, native images
