Okay so this is clever – it's a polyglot, both a valid bash script and a DSL which is interpreted by some binary written in Rust and called at the final "eval $(argc...)" line, where "argc" is the name of the rust b

The website and tool is very nice. However, to be honest, there are various attemps to beyond-ASCII pipes. One popular is the MS Windows PowerShell, but there are also less known ones in the Linux world (I cannot even name a single one out

I could not second this more. Tailwind is a member of a category of CSS frameworks which dramatically implement anti-pattern. Another example of this category is https://semantic-ui.com/ . The only way I see how to use these

I find REPLs and IDEs a great way for learning the libraries and APIs by exploration. Install iPython (the command line, not the notebook interface. The CLI is simpler). Install the libraries you will work with in your new software stack. R

Perl is infamous for its concise syntax, allowing to write very dense programs. Contrary to popular opinion, it is very well possible to write both concise and well readable and understandable code. Python in contrast emphasizes the &quot

I obtained a PhD in {astrophysics, theoretical physics, quantum physics, computational physics} a few years ago. Choose one of these keywords: Which one is most catchy? I second you, astrophysics just sounds cool in most cases, whereas quan

I love the concept of incorporating git and wiki. I frequently catch myself of implementing some git managament for files in my tools. This is an "inner platform effect", since git is part of my software development platform. But

Compiling code at runtime is not self-modifying. For instance, in GPGPU programming, the kernels (=code running on GPUs) are usually compiled at runtime. And of course any time of JITs in scripting languages do the same.

What was actually ignored at that comparison is energy costs. Which can get quite somewhere, if you have all your disks running 24/7 and do not use power saving functions (which is frequently turned off in server contexts). Costs are i

The nice thing with this particular website at theverge.com is that it is not scrollytelling, as it does not mess around with scrolling. That is: Nothing is moving while you scroll. Images got faded in when scrolled to (looking like goo

You may want to look into Wolfram Mathematica. It has the syntax f[x,y] and a super extensive standard library, being otherwise very LISPy.

Live/hot reloading is a thing in various web frameworks and supported by various ecosystems, from Java over Python up to Nodejs. Funnily, development with hot reloading systems is: - Change a line of code - Alt+Tab to switch to

This is a typical idiom frequently seen in modern C and C++ codes. As https://github.com/krychu/wfc#how-to-use-the-library says, you need to define a macro in a C file in order to "expand" the actual code the

Interesting – within the Corinna project, you aim to improve Perl5, isn't it? Is there some reason why you don't spend your time on Perl6?

You can perfectly build a noisy tower computer in 2021, with lots of fans and of course the good old hard discs (instead of SSDs). :-)

Yes, my hard disc at that time (similar experience) was more silent. The sound is either exaggerated or from some even older 5.25" disc.

Oh god, I remember this. I had a Swatch at that time and they announced it very produdly. Of course there had to be a "@" sign, as this sign was a design element to hint anything related to the new and fancy multi media world of t

This is theoretical particle physics and involves a lot of Quantum (field) theory. If you want to understand about this, you need to learn about quantum mechanics and (special) relativity. Lie groups are the relevant symmetry groups to lear

Theoretical physicists love such analogies. There are also things like magnetochromodynamics (=magnetic part of quantum chromo dynamics), etc.

I find it funny that desktop search engines are not mentioned with a word here. This would be the first place to start when using Linux on a desktop (but of course not a server, i.e. without any desktop environment). These search engines ar

Can second that. Have worked 10 years with ILIAS (in all roles, from coding extensions up to editing content). It is a very solid platform with a rapidly moving team and an ever increasing set of features.

This is not much different to writing GOTOs directly, is it?

I like SourceHut for its non-bloated and minimalistic GUI. This makes it less heavy compared to Gitea, Github or Gitlab. This is really a nice small contender to the large well-known git hosters.

The term "API" is similarly fuzzy as the term "constant". Whether a variable or "storage bucket" is constant (vs dynamic) dependens heavily on the context: In many contexts there are for instance compile time c
