That sounds like an excellent way to do practice that directly mirrors real-world SWE, while still cutting it down to an appropriate size for a pedagogical environment. What a good idea.

Ohhhhh yeah. I'm working on some code right now where the previous drive-by author trapped the underlying library's exceptions, then raised completely useless ones instead. He also didn't know how to use the language mechanis

+1 for its suitability in helping with systems administration. One responsibility at my current job is administering a Windows server and trying to get it to do things that are easy on a Unix -- that should be easy anywhere -- but, on Windo

This nicely summarizes some of my frustrations with using Clojure for my master's thesis. I'm not unhappy with the choice. Clojure allows such a juicy crossover between "everything is a key-value map, mannn" and "If

Agreed. Can't count the num of times I've wished Python had real lambdas.

I'm 7 years into my own bonsai software project. As I learn more about CS and SWE I get to slowly introduce new concepts into the code to improve it. "Each time the code gets smaller, faster, neater, clearer, more powerful, and be

Currently writing my MS thesis. "Concat all my existing work into a doc" was my initial move as well, and I discovered I had written a little on almost every topic already. In some cases, had written lots. That let me move to outl

If you want a code-first approach, you might try the "Reference CRDT" implementations, here, written by 'josephg: https://github.com/josephg/reference-crdts Seems to have good density of explanatory comm

Especially now that designers are making buttons/clickable areas hard to distinguish ... I could totally use AI to highlight all the things that are actually, you know, interactive.

That sounds SO COOL. Can you tell me more? Or do I have to go ask my friends at Boeing about it? :)

Speaking only of HTML tags, you might be thinking of (the HTML version of) "ruby" characters, which isn't dots, but does allow for annotatation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_character#HTML_markup W

Thanks for the tips Mathnerd. My project will definitely be a web app -- I'm most familiar with web dev, plus I'd much rather be able to point someone at a URL and say "here's the thing try it out" and have that h

That's a good idea from what I know of it. Thanks. Dunno how the web development story is with that -- I'll have to look into it.

I'm about to embark on my master's thesis, in a domain[1] which could realllllly use the "attach to running process; re-evaluate code and have the system just keep going" aspect of Lisp languages. I know Python best. But

It's such a common dream! I wonder how school-themed stress dreams would have manifested for people who lived before what we would recognize as "modern" educations system...

I'm in the same boat as you, OP. Talon has proven a lifesaver ... or at least it promises to be one. I'm still getting used to it. My finding, for text dictation (not code), is that even halfway decent dictation, such as is availa

Thanks for the tip. That automatic "foreign key chasing" looks phenomenal. Byebye, much of that big tedious chunk in the middle of your 2nd example... Wish I had that for more of the SQL I write.

Always happy to see someone writing in a hierarchical format. Maybe one day everyone will wake up and start writing Engelbart-style tree documents[1]. Site feedback for you, John: I would appreciate if you linkified your name (in the header
