Better yet, start saying C/C++/C#/D/rust/java, and watch all of the above get pissed off. \o/

I was not aware of manifold; from a quick look, my understanding is that manifold is a bunch of popular language extensions, implemented mostly via preprocessor annotations, which are highly tied to specific java versions and IDEs. But whil

In fairness, it was pretty reckless to just "update" the existing method without providing a dummy "throw an informative error if anything attempts to call the old method" fallback method

Of course you can. In fact I'm doing just that in two places in the example. (Yes I know what you mean, but yes you know what I mean!) In the end, chains are about readability and logical flow; even if you don't like pre-wrapping

I completely seriously and unironically find bash to be absolutely beautiful. So, no, it's not "objectively" awful. At most it's "subjectively" awful for some people.

There are two kinds of deadlines: yours, and someone else's. The two could not be more different.

I do miss the "golden days of CS mods". Some of my favourite games and moments were with mods. Afraid of Monsters, The Specialists, The Hidden, a 3rd person soccergame whose name I forget now ... the main challenge was convincing

I read Demiurge right after I played the original Deus Ex for that reason. It was a masterpiece. Haven't had the chance to read anything by Chris Todd yet (the writer/curator of all the snippets you come across within the game, as

How have you found the experience so far? I kinda tried this a few years back, but found the documentation/lack of modern tutorials appalling ... but there's been a nice explosion of activity over the last few years (e.g. fpm, lFo

Couldn't you have achieved this even more simply by using make with a go shell? Btw, from the linked page: > Makefiles are hard to read and hard to write. Mostly because makefiles are essentially fancy bash scripts with significant

The make manual was one of the more useful and enjoyable technical reads I've done in a while (really!). I suspect that people going "bleh make" below have simply not read the manual. make is incredible and super-useful. much

You don't. You can specify this in a single line. Unless the question was, why do I have to mark targets as PHONY more generally. In which case the answer is, you don't. You only do this when you want the recipe to always run when

Nice. I wonder; if you used this with a "one-payment-only" disposable card, to buy stuff without being harassed by subsequent "newsletters" ... is there a way this could backfire spectacularly by virtue of it being a pub

You reminded me of that "I'm fast at math" joke :) The joke, for those who don't know: Interviewer: What would you say is your most impressive skill? Candidate: I am ridiculously fast at math. Impressed, the interviewe

That said, one should be interested in the weights and convolutions of Einstein's brain, instead of ignoring them for the sake of virtue-signalling about the people in the cotton fields and sweatshops, to the extent that said convolu

Efficiency is only one aspect of the equation. Storage is another one. As is multiplicity of energy inputs. I still have no idea why nobody uses heat reservoirs for shower hot water, like they do in the Mediterranean. (it's not a sun c

I agree and disagree. R itself isn't a mess. Typical R code tends to be. In theory, this reflects one of R's strengths, which is its ability for flexible metaprogramming. In practice, this becomes a weakness because people abuse i
