Labeling, fstab is supposed to be a .tsv, what happens if I mistype something? where's the safety? Does this need to be a DSL?

Saving disk space and synchronization is only important for network transmission. At the local level, you will need to convert to something where you can get/know positioning, utf8 does not allow for this given its variability, this me

Really strange that argv[0] has a basically unlimited character size while #! has a hardcodede 256 byte limit.

Given that sh can print everything as it runs, it would be nice to know what is it that takes so long, instead of doing a full rewrite. I remember once replacing a filter written in pure bash by an awk one, the slowdown was around 2 minutes

I'm speaking more generally than git here, part of being any type of inventor is to simplify for the user and make it intuitive, that way if the internals change, the abstraction/external look the same.

Internals are nice, but are also not and should not be necessary to know, I don't know how a FS is writing a file, and yet I can store files fine.

Record breaking heatwaves is not scientific or something anyone can feel? It's news to me that humans are incapable of feeling heat, weird considering I'm using 2 fans and am still sweating, when I didn't before. or british f

The climate movement wasn't taken seriously 70 years ago, but as people see its effects more and more and the more you live and remember that you could actually walk outside without AC and not melt the more its strengthened. So I highl

Its a shared atmosphere, so they will suffer the effects of it equally. This isn't a "just the US" type of thing. if you suffer from hurricanes or monsoons, earthquakes, and so on, it is in your best interest to reduce the ef

You should ask the arraycast guys on how they did it. They got him to talk about ivy and apl/array style programming for an hour or so.

DVCS stands for distributed version control system, it has nothing to do with source code? Maybe you're confusing it with SCM which are source control managers, that's the only ones that handle strict source only, but scm can mean

Git is terrible at branching, constantly squashing and rebasing is not a feature but an annoyance. see fossil for how to do proper branching/merging/logging, by its very nature, Not to mention that by having the repository separat

I wouldn't put fossil in that list of collaboration, since its not really a collaborative tool, or more like, there are barriers to that collaboration, like creating a username for each fossil repository. That's a huge barrier in

This is your opinion on what the default behavior of nil should be, fortunately, We can disagree and you can set a metatable that errors on nil, I will choose to do or not do that depending on the object. assert() also exists for this very

I do not know how/why the language should magically know that something should error, if nil is not acceptable as a return then you use || or "this". if the table should not have nils then you turn it into a metatable that er

I'd recommend teal because luau is not really lua.
176.
by nmz 2y ago
It does not. The most viable solution is transpilation, teal is the most recent candidate. You can have a hack of sorts using a schema and tables as in local schema = { a = "number", b="string" } -- key = "type&quot

But lua isn't lacking them, <for in do> is for generators, and if you want iterators you can make those as well.

by nmz 2y ago
well, lua existed back then, but that lua is not lua5, even lua4 looks incredibly different especially when it comes to tables.

by nmz 2y ago
What do you want it to return though? x = f() or "default value" or maybe you want it to error x = f() or error"F failed" or maybe x is an object in which case you can just setmetatable(x,{__index = function () return &q
