I often use this technique in my dev debug logs. If the last print() was more than a few seconds ago, it also prints “(2.4 seconds passed)” in gray text before printing another line. This helps with visually separating debug requests, butto

I think our issue is much more banal: we are very slow talkers and our effective communication bandwidth is measured in bauds. Anything that could bridge this airgap would fucking explode in intelligence.

This is actually relieving. People are very pessimistic itt (lol see the top comment for the past year https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38777115 ).

It’s both nonsense, cause what you see here is a double conversion from an arbitrary problem domain into http domain and back again. Using a specific http code together with an app-domain code could make sense iff you wanted an intermedia

Says who? And more importantly, is this the boulder? All I (and many others here) see is that people engage others to sponsor pushing some boulder, screaming promises which aren’t even that consistent with intermediate results that come

Consciousness (in this sense) doesn't physically exist cause it's unfalsifiable. Philosophy has a whole p-zombie section on that. I believe that you are mixing this metaphysical awareness with the physical process of mind machiner

It isn’t known in advance though. These people went to that job and got psychiatric diseases that, considering the thirdworldiness, they are unlikely to get rid of. I’m not talking about obvious “scream and run away” reaction here. One may

I understand the concern, but can’t you just maintain an actual reference field to parent_str in a string view? Unless I missed some no-extra-fields constraint itt, then sorry for the noise.

by wruza 2y ago
These are regular questions in languages with (and without) reference counting, what’s so special about string views?

My issue with LLMs is that you require a review-competent human in the loop, to fix confabulations. Yes, I’m using them from time to time for research. But I’m also aware of the topics I research and see through bs. And best LLMs out there,

I was aware of that, but somehow it never happened, maybe got lucky. Smartdrv itself never crashed, and neither program crashes nor electricity issues affected it. Ofc I always used ctrl-alt-del before turning the pc off. It’s interesting w

Oh right, recently I started learning classic ML and “just” tried to install tensorflow, which, itself or through one of dependencies, stopped providing windows binaries since x.y.z and so my python has to be downgraded to 3.a and then othe

Norton Guides, iirc. E.g. Ralf Brown Interrupt List was available in it. Reading the docs without leaving an editor made programming much easier.

As who? As a user you simply ignore it. No reply (and no vote) also happens to be their sore spot sometimes, but if that’s not your goal, just ignore them in a friendly manner. As a mod you should probably ask mods, not users. An obvious gl

My favorite program in DOS was smartdrv.exe. I know it’s much more late addition, but it was a game-changer for these slow hard drives. Even a tiny cache size (I believe I tried kilobytes range) sped up things like 10-20x. Even windows 3.x

Sort of, but doesn’t that sit on a far-fetch horizon? I doubt that drone companies are all the same who sold aircraft retrofuturism to people back then.

Yes but the idea was lost in the process. It became a faster transportation system that uses air as a medium, but that’s it. Personal planes are still either big business or an expensive and dangerous personal toy thing. I don’t think it’s

And look at the airplanes, they really can’t just land on a mountain slope or a tree without heavy maintenance afterwards. Those people weren’t all stupid, they questioned the promise of flying servicemen delivering mail or milk to their wi

Won’t nitpick, how much of what’s useful here is unique to perl? You could make a similar list for most languages and barely scratch the surface. top class unicode handling This one I remember struggling with, afair due to io vs perlio la

It’s also where you (or your adhd colleague, or future self) introduce a subtle bug if one of your subs reads another stream and you forgot to local $_ in it. And you realize that you don’t always understand what “it” is either and that it

I meant average line ratio, not literal one-liners, apologies for confusion.

Tbh, for me it was a source of regex knowledge, in retrospect. Remove regexes from perl, what’s left? I can name: dynamic scoping, implicit filehandles, implicit $_, strange contexts, keyword-like list functions. That’s basically it, and wh

Perl was 1 line vs. 100 lines in everything else, in text processing. Now it is 1 line vs. 2-3 lines that are clearer and have stricter semantics. It also has support for running oneliners straight from cli. You probably don’t want to learn

Not particularly a vim habit but doing this: function foo() {| function foo() { }|<esc>O<sp><esc>x function foo() { .... } I know that I can just {<cr>}, and then o/O any time, but for some re

Why do you need ! that often? Also ZZ (which I never use).

I don't see how you could avoid logic and do literally anything useful that is not animalistic by nature. I can only imagine how <human-incomprehensible positive adjective> it would be to be able to remember more than 7 things, u

Why does it stutter and flash black screen first time you open an “app” or even switch tabs in e.g. clock app? Does it use react as a renderer?
