The Diary of St. Faustina , also titled "Divine Mercy in My Soul". Even though I owned it for a few years, I didn't really pick it up until just this year. I know only a small percent of us here are religious, but for those

What version of C is this in? And do modern implementations (clang, GCC) adhere to it (without extensions)?

So in other words, std::ptr::null is Rust's version of null for situations where you would actually use null in C, except in general Rust discourages trying to use it like it's C. Seems reasonable.

Programmers in general today have significant amounts of freedom to choose the toolchain, languages, libraries, and frameworks they use. That wasn't historically always true, especially because the available choices have been growing e

I use entirely server-side rendering, with a slight bit of jQuery sprinkled in for the very small amount of dynamic interaction that isn't easily done via the traditional HTTP request model, like menus or popups.

Sounds like it has most of the same goals as Swift. I wonder how they compare?

That sounds miles slower.

> "while exploring the confluence of scripting and functional programming" Scripting and functional go amazing together, as long as it's (mostly) dynamic typing. In general, types really just get in the way when scriptin

I felt the same way about IDEs in general, until I started using more features of CIDER (and Paredit) within Emacs for Clojure development. So many CIDER features I didn't expect to find helpful, turned out to be invaluable, and I late

On the other hand, it's really hard to make a closed-source app that you can sell, and still make it cross-platform.

It kind of already feels like that's what Objective-C is. You can use pretty-strong types, or you can just cast to id. Same with NSArray, elements can either be id (default) or a specific type. I just kind of feel like using better typ

Ah right, split panes are pretty nifty. Very easy to do in Emacs and convenient too. When I'm using Terminal.app, I just use two windows and place them side-by-side if needed. But most of the time a single windows suffice for the small

Typesafe HTTP implementation? Meh. I go back and forth on stringly typed vs strong typing. Just this weekend I wrote an app in Objective-C instead of Swift, and it's already close enough to 1.0 that I can start using it myself. I origi

I tried iTerm and then Hyper, and didn't really see how either benefited me over Terminal.app so I stuck with that. But these days I do most of my development work inside Emacs, and the vast majority of my Terminal.app usage has been r

It's also extremely unlikely to ever get enough traction to steal even a tiny fraction of wikipedia's user base.

Yeah that's why I said "almost." I was just drawing parallels.

Wow. It just clicked: We could have a future where your personal computer fits easily in your pocket, you can carry it everywhere you go, and you just plug it into whatever monitor & keyboard & mouse you happen to be near by, whethe

And when you take those two things away, you pretty much just have Java. Which, while it can be optimized, it's also Java.

Balance the artificial sweeter with some sawdust to achieve the same mass and sweetness. Pretty sure that's legal...

I guess I'm more cynical and skeptical of businesses which only have financial incentives in mind to do "good" things like this, but no ethical incentives.

My guess is artificial sweetener, which by technicalities gets to say it's safer than it really is because of number-rounding laws. Or something?

In all seriousness, why is Fedora the mosts worthy Linux out of them all, in terms of privacy and security? I thought those two were kind of an inherent staple of all Linux distros? In the past I've used Debian Stable with AwesomeWM (t

Not really. The code in question: (apply + (range 1e7)) is just summing a bunch of numbers. That's it. It's very easy to optimize for the sake of benchmarks. It's way too trivial to use for any kind of meaningful rea

I don't remember why, but years ago I remember coming to the firm conclusion that it was impossible to write it in anything but assembly.

Cross platform is a perfectly fine goal. Why should a developer care need to write `open()` on one system and `OpenFile()` on another, when all they really mean is "open this file" with the exact same semantics? That said, I think
