That is why modern spellmakers have the tlateochihualapaztli , or the Metaspell, in which other spells can be cast and isolated from the outside world, and their effects recorded and carefully combed through for problems; testing of more a

The type problem is starting to be solved by flakes; the equivalent to the type `operating-system` is the type `nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem`. To analyze a NixOS system configuration, I look for all modifications to the `services` attr (represen

This sounds interesting - could you elaborate further on how rejection sampling "fails" on LuaJIT?

You don't need LD_PRELOAD; the ptrace mechanism by itself can intercept system calls and modify them on the fly.

But that article is exactly what we want on the internet. It's the kind of interactive teaching demonstrations that forward looking educators have been thinking about for decades. It's not bloated or overdone; it doesn't take

Where would https://ciechanow.ski/mechanical-watch/ fall? In the document web or the application web?

Using print debugging/strace/valgrind/etc, you're looking at the evolution over time of particular components of program state. Using a debugger, you're looking at all components of program state at particular time

For debugging, check out nvim-dap. It uses the same protocol as VSCode for debugging.

For Linux, look at the eBPF tools - they're really useful[0]. I've used them to troubleshoot annoying problems before, and they're far more practical to use than the usual `strace -f ./program` dance. Troubleshooting sys

Could it be possible to infer optional colors from the environment? You denote that the color is optional in the function's type signature, and inside the body of the function, you have a construct that lets you execute different code

It's not that bad in my opinion? I just middle click to open each link in a new tab. I can read the new tab, close it, leave it open, whatever. The links I've already clicked will turn purple, meaning I can easily see which links

To be fair, this is just dualism, but in a non-religious way :P

IIRC [still spoiler] they specifically chose the spacing so that the hard drives would be unscathed, and captured the hard drives before they fell into the canal, although it is still a little ridiculous. But in any case, keep reading! I pr

The broken part is that it is worth it to use an inefficient rendering method (lots of JS generated by React + an interpreter and GC + a render tree (React VDOM) + an overcomplicated element tree (DOM) + a rendering system) instead of an ef

> you can call a specific version of a function in a library A library has some functions. Later, the library gets refactored, and those functions are thereby rewritten; but since no changes have actually been made, the version number st

Yeah, but they're not going to do it 1 billion years in advance, they'll do it 2 years before :p

Out of curiosity, what do you actually use the Ruby liveloading feature for? I use Neovim, which has a similar (but less powerful) feature that allows one to live-execute Lua code (or Vimscript, I suppose). But I almost never use it outside

It's worth noting that one can handle really badly behaving software using buildFHSUserEnv.
