I wrote one in Haskell [1], ostensibly as a uni class project but also as a way to teach myself Haskell and have fun; I had the infrastructure in place and was trying to run Zork, implementing opcodes, one by one, when finally I saw the fam

I’ve been a happy user of Pass ( https://www.passwordstore.org/ ) for a few years now. Can’t see it being monetized any time soon, which is a Good Thing. So is its strict adherence to the Unix philosophy.

Reminds me of Leslie Lamport’s „How to Write a Proof” [1]. I wonder whether there exist tools that aid in manually writing visualisable proofs? https://lamport.azurewebsites.net/pubs/lamport-how-to-write....

Not necessarily filesystem paths (in my case, the paths correspond to RocksDB keys). And I’d like to be able to fold/unfold subtrees, search within node names, and call arbitrary commands for a given path in the tree, from within a TUI

The other day, I found myself in need of visualising a tree of paths, like this: /one/two /one/three/four /one/three/five /six I ended up converting it to a JSON with a one-off Pytho

I still spend inordinate amounts of time playing Heroes 3. It’s been a strong procrastination feeder over the decades, but it also gave me a lot of fun! I mostly play HotA in HD Mod these days, but I had used VCMI on Android (with SoD). I

Tangential: syntax-highlighting math! This is the first time I’ve seen it. Not yet sure what I think about it, but I can definitely see the allure.

My first instinctive reply upon seeing the title is ‘Bretton Woods toppled down’. I guess that might be part of an answer. Not sure how important one.

Ah, that’d explain the relevance. Unflagging – thank you! I stand by my opinion that it shouldn’t be a Show HN, though.

[EDIT: Unflagged, see discussion] I almost never flag submissions. Yet, I flagged this because: - it’s not a Show HN; - it’s a list of job offers, not posted in ‘Who is hiring?’ as is customary; - none of these open positions are actually i

Sure there is, as always: load all the code into the running SBCL, then call (SB-EXT:SAVE-LISP-AND-DIE :EXECUTABLE T :TOPLEVEL your-entry-point). The downside, as always, is that this kills the Lisp process, and the resulting binary weighs

As a recent newcomer to Rust, I find Amos' articles an indispensable source of knowledge. His post on recursive iterators [1] has been a lifesaver while I was working on my problem. Thanks, Amos! [1]: https://fasterthanli.me
