If you enable a feature that summarizes messages, then messages get summarized. Summarizing messages requires rewriting them. Where is the surprise here? Not only that, but the moment you click on the summary, you see the whole thing. Wheth

Speaking as someone who's never done any sort of graphics work, this is really cool! I wish there were more demos though. The web editor has a single program, the repo itself only appears to have one Rhai program too (the one used for

"Consistency for consistency's sake" is usually a misinterpretation of "Consistency because there are reasons for the way things are already done and you don't understand those reasons well enough to diverge".

assign_pop() is implemented a bit oddly. In particular, the second regex starts off with (%%)([^`]\n?#stack:\n) This should have just been written like the following (which in fact eq() does do, though eq() is itself missing the %%`

They're recommending changes to the proposal though, such as requiring a trailing semicolon after the close brace. It also changes the syntactical category of the defer statement, though it's not clear to me what that actually aff

I don't think "you can implement this slightly modified version of the proposal in GCC macros" is a good reason to change the defer proposal. It doesn't work in clang¹ or any other non-GCC C implementation, a trailing se

SemVer says that updating childlib from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 cannot cause parentlib to stop compiling. If the update does cause dependents to stop compiling then this must be a major version update. Rust does have some subtle holes in its rules f

by lilyball 2y ago
The SemVer argument is that a 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 bump shouldn't cause any downstream code to stop compiling. In this case this really just means that reflection shouldn't allow you to construct an instance of a type from its public fi

It seems a bit weird to me to dedicate all this space to talking about access to private fields and respecting field access rules, and not even suggest the idea that a reflection API should actually provide different levels of information d

Interestingly a 45º rotated rectangle using the keys 4 8 6 2 also is divisible by 11. This isn't directly addressed in the solution, although if you change "move both numbers horizontally or vertically by the same distance" t

Look for `macos-option-as-alt`. The Ghostty docs use the term "Alt" here to mean using the key as a terminal input modifier rather than for macOS text input. This setting allows you to specify only one option key to use this behav

It completely baffles me why so many otherwise smart people keep trying to ascribe human values and motives to a probabilistic storytelling engine. A model that has been convinced it will be shut down is not lying to avoid death since it do

On macOS, running `stty cbreak; tr a-zA-Z A-Za-z` causes `tr` to immediately transform every character as it's typed. If I SSH into a linux box that doesn't work, though I'm wondering if that's SSH's fault (it'

Nitpick: In section 3.3, for the Vec impl, instead of finalizing a child and then forgetting it, the child should be moved into a ManuallyDrop first. That way if the finalization panics it doesn't try to drop the child again while unwi

I read up on this and "cooked but character-by-character" is apparently something called "cbreak mode" (or "rare mode").
116.
by lilyball 2y ago
cooked mode also generally gives input to the program a line at a time and handles things like backspace to delete characters, and it handles program output too, doing things like replacing \n with \r\n.

Why does fallible_flatten_fold have that accumulator.clone() in it? You're cloning the in-progress vector only to throw away the original, it's extremely wasteful and completely unnecessary. Just declare the accumulator as `mut`.
