I think the video on the DIY version page shows the extent of it. Mine came partially assembled because of some manufacturing reason, so I only had to throw in the SSD, RAM, and wifi card. Regardless, assembly should not require anything mo

Correct, the biggest cost difference is because of vPro, which you probably do not need. Keyboard and touchpad are extremely subjective. As someone who has used ThinkPads exclusively for a very long time and is a huge fan of the trackpoint,

The book has an entire chapter called "Choosing Names" and another titled "Comments Should Describe Things That Aren't Obvious from the Code". Yes, good naming supplants the need for many comments, but the author go

Most of the perceived "fiddly" parts of Nim are due to it being statically typed and compiled, in my experience. Nim intentionally gives you very spartan objects. It is by no means an OOP-first or even an OOP-heavy language. The o

I believe the only time you have to name a tuple is when you define a tuple type. You can otherwise easily work with "anonymous" tuple fields. https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=2lK1 Tuples with anonymous fields are eq

I tease my wife every time she is making Annie's that it's literally simpler to make my own Mac and cheese recipe, which she absolutely loves. Boil the noodles in milk, add seasoning, stir in cheese. Still, we always have Annie&#x

Terrific work! IMO the state of programming tutorials and walkthroughs is surprisingly bad and antiquated. I wrote a concept demo a few years ago with some of the same ideas, but based around the Git diff.[0] The basic idea is each differen

I would recommend going to Board Game Arena and finding a few games that seem interesting to you, then give them a try. Here's a filter roughly matching your criteria: https://boardgamearena.com/gamelist?section=all&amp

This is a fine and valid opinion, but it's a philosophical difference. Vivaldi literally exists because Opera dropped support for their mail client and other features. It was promised from its first technical preview that it would even

I've written a large-ish amount of Nim code on personal projects while using Python day to day at work, and almost every time I'm working with Nim my brain is screaming at me at how unlike Python it is. Nim took some inspiration f

Not to harp too much on your nitpick of the syntax, but I'm curious why `#[]` rates as more attractive to you than `{..}`? To me they are equally utilitarian, and I can't figure out why one would be strongly preferable. That said,

The table is out of date. Nim is post 1.0[1] now and stable, and has few breaking changes. [1] https://nim-lang.org/blog/2019/09/23/version-100-released.ht...

Nim has a growing number of libraries that handle many of the features provided here. This is one of the first major attempts at a large, comprehensive web framework in Nim. It's not a signal of any sort of shift in the Nim ecosystem.

I don't know if this is a good example. While React tries to bill itself as a library, and there are arguments to be made for it being a library, there are equally compelling arguments as to why it is a framework. If anything, this exa

The `echo` statement is indeed, a function. The tutorial is taking advantage of Nim's optional parenthesis when calling the function. echo "Can you hear me?" is the same as echo("Can you hear me?") Nim

Nicely done! I made something similar a few years back for quickly rating movies you've seen and marking ones you haven't seen but want to. I never did much with it, but it's still fun to play with every once in awhile even b

My guess is the GP misunderstood and was speaking about the Prolog programming language, not the web framework mentioned. To address your question, the only complete back end web framework for Nim that has significant traction (that I know

I agree. It's such an illogical and unreadable construct to me. Even after working with a typed language for awhile my instinct is to declare the type before the variable name. I've been envisioning a future programming environmen

Public libraries in the United States are free. They are generally supported by local taxes, sometimes with added support from benefactors, fundraising events, or some optional paid services.

I'm curious what open source options will crop up in this space. So far I haven't seen anything promising that compares to the Notion or the Air Table approach.

You'll probably like CintaNotes (Windows only) or Zim Wiki. Biggest downside to both is the lack of mobile apps. But Zim uses plain text files and Cinta can sync with Simplenote. I mention Cinta mostly because it has some of the better
