You can replace `cat file | cmd` with just `cmd <file` though. `cat` is still useful if you need to concatenate multiple files, but when using it just to feed stdin, actual stdin redirection is better. Even when trying to say something l

IIRC it required basically two separate implementations of the data structures, one that could be constructed at compile-time and was less efficient than the one that could be built at runtime. And the need to support both was becoming a pr

Regex used to offer a regex!() macro that did compile-time compilation, but this was removed a while back as it was too much of a maintenance burden and was getting in the way of performance optimization.

I've always wanted an excuse to use this but never had a reason. The closest I come is using Nix, and I know there is a Dhall-to-Nix compiler, but Dhall can't represent everything possible in Nix I haven't seen any good reaso

Is it? My takeaway is "oh cool, first-class types". Experimenting with this, I can write the following: let ConfigOf : Type -> Type = \(type : Type) -> {- What happens if you add another field here? -} {

It can't be a syntax error though as it evaluates successfully as demonstrated by the right-hand side.

State machines can often be implemented with a set of functions that each handle a single state and then tail-call into the function for the next state.

They said they ran a dry-run. What did that do, just generate these diffs? I would have expected them to have some way of simulating the network for BGP changes in order to verify that they didn't just fuck up their traffic.

Oh no, web3 is almost purely greed. The entire point is to financialize everything possible and try to make money off of it. It's a truly horrific idea, one that enshrines "those with money make the rules" even moreseo than c

Confirmation bias. You only hear about the people doing greedy shit. The people who aren't being greedy don't usually make the news.

People want to believe, because if they don't then it means they were wrong to believe in the first place. Faith is irrational.

If you're being MITM'd then you'll get a certificate warning. If it's easy to click through those then it's easy for MITMs to read or modify the request.

Yes, but you'd have to generate that dummy value upon creating the real value, and then pass it along with the real value so it's available to the spot that needs to consume it. This would ultimately end up being just a much more

My initial motivation is twofold: 1. I'm trying to add some better automation than what HomeKit directly supports. I've been experimenting with Node-RED, but having Node-RED talk to Homebridge is terrible. I don't know how mu

You don't need to say "not interested" to get rid of a niche that you watched a little bit of a while ago. You just need to stop watching those videos. The "not interested" option certainly speeds up the process, bu

You don't need to detect it quickly. TikTok lets you explicitly say "Not Interested" on a video, which is really handy if you end up watching too much of it while trying to figure out what the video is about.

Interesting, I hadn't seen CSI-u mode before. It looks like it's a toggle for the whole profile though, rather than something the CLI tool can opt in to, which means it will break any tools that expect existing keys like C-M-e to

TUIs cannot have full use of modifier keys as the full set of modifiers is not sent to processes running in a terminal. As for the OS task switcher, if everything is a TUI then you only have one app, which is your terminal, and so your OS t

Some terminals have custom protocols for displaying images. The real achilles heel is they're not accessible. There is no terminal protocol for denoting actual objects being drawn in the window such that they can be exposed to accessib
