Is that only for the mandelbrot benchmark?

In Brazil where I'm from a Macbook Air costs about ~8x the average monthly income. It's out of reach for most people.

Shells already implement many commands as shell builtins. For example, echo, true, and so on.

Let's be honest with ourselves... Tether is almost certainly intentionally fraudulent.

The difference with cat is that at least it is looks nicer in some cases. For example, if I want to put the input file at the start of the pipeline, the cat-less version looks weird and confusing. <file1 somecmd >file2 I wish

In first grade, we were taught how to count to 10 using a modified version of blackjack that added up to 10, instead of up to 21. Turns out that it is still fun enough for 6 year olds if you remove the gambling aspect.

I was talking about going in the web app where you get the results and granting the doctor permission to view the file. The problem is that the doctor needs to have an account on the system, and also that the UI for sharing is hard to use

Another common example: patients who want to share their exam results with their doctor. The proper way would be to use the document sharing feature inside the web portal, but often the simplest solution is for the patient to send their use

That is one of those things that sound intuitively true, but isn't necessarily the case in practice. One example that I am more familiar with: thyroid nodules. Recently, the medical guidelines have increased the size threshold for a bi

According to the Matt Hobb's twitter thread, they had to do a lot of work to get rid of the JQuery dependency. Does anyone know what kind of challenges they encountered along the way?

Pretty neat! Takes advantage of the fact that the parser needs to use a recursion or stack to handle parenthesis. If it can handle parenthesis, it has all the tools necessary to handle operator precedence. If we think of how a recursive des

One recent book that covers it is Crafting Interpreters, by Bob Nystrom. Maybe if we give it some more time it will start counting as a popular compiler textbook ;) https://craftinginterpreters.com/

This kind of sounds similar to what a JIT compiler does, except that a JIT will silently fall back to slower code if you do those forbidden dynamic things. I think the most appealing thing about what you're suggesting here is less abou

Neat! I didn't know there was a 2nd edition. Does anyone know how it differs from the 1st edition?

Do you mean, always pass the list directly to the next script via function calls, without writing it to an intermediate file / pipeline?

What do you recommend, to not get intro trouble if there are spaces or newlines in the file names?

I hate that rule about 50 characters. IIRC, it started because someone noticed that the average commit message in the linux kernel is about 50 characters. Then, for whatever reason it morphed into this widely propagated mantra saying that

The font size setting is hidden under the "GNOME Tweak Tool". The good news is that over the last couple releases, the GNOME settings have improved bit by bit and now also include some things that also used to be hidden in the Twe

The thing that I most appreciate about Tcl is that it feels like Unix shell "done right". It is still a bit weird because everything is a string, but it doesn't have all those footguns around variable expansion, such as word

A named pipe sounds like a good way to fulfill your requirement of having the command runs on separate shells.. In the first terminal, shove the output of commend A into the named pipe. In the second terminal, have a loop that reads from th

It's not too bad, because the most basic commands are about the same. The ones that get me the most are dd and V. When I switch to the other editor I get these wrong a couple of times before the mental model readjusts. That said, I nev

Thanks for summarizing the highlights! The client-server part is the one I'm most excited about. It is one of my favorite things in kakoune and it'll be nice to have it on neovim too. I find it more intuitive to use separate termi

I also use this setup. Works well for editing and reading the files. But be aware that some file-intensive operations don't work as well. It is better to grep or git in the remore server instead of in the local mount. Be careful if yo

Does "Nakamoto is dead" count as a conspiracy? I thought it was one of the leading explanations for their disappearance.

I think this is the main issue. Compilers have always been trying to do some kind of syntax error recovery, to be able to spot more than one syntax error at a time. However, these heuristics are unfortunately fragile. It often ends up with
