If there aren't any, the statement is true (in a useless way). But verifying that something doesn't exist is indeed difficult.

> You can actually finish projects and never return to them How do you manage that? Migrating from 0.18 to 0.19 wasn't hard in my limited experience, but it wasn't "finish and never return" either.

Wouldn't a fork of Black with a different formatting choice miss the whole point of Black?

Funny. I also press ctrl-s in Firefox quite a bit, but for a completely different reason: in Emacs that shortcut invokes search.

That's just US-centric. For example, you probably don't know off the bat what happened on 22.06.41 either, but if someone buys an ad in a Russian newspaper encoding these figures, it would be perfectly reasonable to say "ever

Ah. I was trained by zsh's time reporting to focus on the last figure and noticed that "real" is at the top in your comment only after posting mine. And then still left scratching my head looking at "user" and &quot

I believe you compared first (uncached) startup of Python against second startup of Julia: $ time python -c '0' python -c '0' 0,03s user 0,01s system 7% cpu 0,467 total $ time python -c '0' p

You got me thinking about that word, CLI. I know that usually means a Unix shell, but when I just run my bespoke file conversion tool from CIDER REPL, that interface is also a command line one, what else is it?

In Scheme or Clojure, but not in Common Lisp. Now, should we adopt this parentheses-exacticity as part of the definition what is a real Lisp? P.S. Of course, a Lisp-2 saves us only from an unlimited proliferation of parentheses, but a simpl

1) Some freak repeatedly vandalized a Wikipedia page. Editors reverted the vandalism, perpetrator stopped trying. If I understood all of this correctly, why is it not simply Wikipedia working as intended? 2) So, Russia and USA & Britain

JS seems even more popular than warranted by its place in the browser. Maybe Netscape management wasn't completely off target with that "Make it look like Java" thing.

How do you know to listen to Taylor Swift or whatever? In the last century it was easy to be in sync: you could just watch MTV. Is there something keeping the notion of pop coherent these days?

RMS agrees to explain something for a site called "opensource.com". What a time.

XFCE and LXDE looks like windows 95 Most of all, it looks exactly like it looked last year. That's a feature.

1) This made me curious. Are any of the compilers in real use nondeterministic? 2) Probably that's not needed? A normal optimizing compiler just inlines the function somewhere new — and boom? Then again, can that really happen with pra

Now that I think of it, I certainly have tripped on "list" arguments in Python, but adopted haskellers' "xs" for such generic uses and forgot about it. BTW, GHC throws especially funny messages when you define a var

Not sure if that's a good example. My lists of foos are usually named "foos", not "list" or "lst".

Is it a real problem though? If your config generator is complex enough to hide an infinite loop, you probably should be relieved every time it fails obviously and doesn't generate wrong config instead.

I believe a typical video, stored in all of the Youtube formats, uses on the order of a megabyte per second. So, a 10TB disk probably holds about 100 days of video. Seems fine for videos that are watched less than once a day, that's pr

it is unreasonable to ask people to use Android Studio to develop for Android Obviously interesting platforms can get away with much more ridiculous requests such as "buy a Mac" or "program in JavaScript".

Are the logs of this scale and less-popular videos usually stored on SSD? I thought HDDs are still cheaper and RAID gives enough throughput given enough disks?

Sure. But products targeted even at relatively small groups of mostly non-farsighted people (kids, teens, students) are not uncommon.

"However, it appears to work." Wow. I don't remember reading such blasphemy in other Haskell docs. And I like it, no joke. Though it's likely about the performance characteristics; memoize probably behaves (and not just

Thinking about this again, there's a bit of difference: most people running a Tor exit node probably made a conscious decision to take this risk.

Yes, but do you often need to automatically determine if a bug causes a program to run indefinitely or only much longer than expected? That would be the halting problem, yes (strictly speaking, some subset of it, and for many programs a dec
