So, given that Jester exists and is a thing, how does this compare to it?

How does one actually go about that process of reversing damage to your arteries?

I suspect those modern compilers are also optimizing more than Delphi 2 was, and are probably parsing a somehow larger language. Granted, it could be a case of a code base adapting to change poorly over time.

I got 35/45 with a little bit of research to find some spellings, so with no research whatsoever, I'd probably have been 29/45.

That really depends which reflection APIs are being used. For C#, you can use type reflection to get the data or shape of a piece of code or a type (GetType and friends). That isn't super fast, and isn't intended to be. The other

This is a problem that can also be solved with a pill container, at least for longer term meds taken at regular intervals. I could see this being handy for as-needed meds, however

So, trying out elvish a bit tonight, I've noticed that there are a lot of little quirky places that whitespace is significant in elvish? One example is lambda syntax. Do you have any plans on making that less of a thing, or is it here

Eh, having used both Tcl and Lua, I definitely think Lua is the better of the two when it comes to a scripting engine for games. And I think Lua is more elegant than TCL overall. TCL's stringiness really gets clumsy in certain types of

I'll echo what other people have said about taking care of your mental health first. If you're strapped for cash as a software dev, either you're not budgeting appropriately (take a sober look at how often you eat out), or yo

Yes, 2D assets can be reused, once you have a 3D asset, it can be used with a lot more spectacle. Of nothing else, when you're animating a change of visual angle, it's a whole lot more convincing and easier (animate some positions

Probably J, if I had to guess. I'm unaware of how much production use it has.

So, I've not really had that set of things, but when I went through a phase of working in fast food, that was helpful for helping me disentangle who I was from my ability to work as a software developer. I suspect that sort of thing wo

It's also worth bearing in mind that tacit knowledge can lead you astray. And that tacit knowledge can be developed without having to be in the same room as someone. It's just that it's learned and communicated _differently_

So, it sounds like you're facing is one of prioritization. Remember that you can't learn _everything_ at once. You have to choose a focus. That could be a tool you want to exist, a hero you want to emulate, or a problem you want t

I have a couple blogs, and a couple wikis, all written by me. But, for starters, https://junglecoder.com Why is it awesome? Because I write about things that I find _very_ interesting. Highlights include an article on Factor, a

So, I'll take a different tack: Are you interested in finishing projects or are you interested in learning new things? Because those goals aren't exactly 100% aligned. It sounds like your motivation is more about learning new thin

You might still run into GC problems, but none of the Go-based Luas (built on Go, rather than binding to another Lua library) I am aware of have a JIT built in.

I've found that there can be some cool stack combinators (like Factor's dip), but binding in stack based languages is nice in that it lets you effectively turn off having to think about the stack in depth, which frees up mental re

I think a lot is possible if you could use spreadsheets to create all software (I even have an idea on the back burner to try in that direction). That being said, $95/month isn't an accessible price point for anyone that isn'

I don't at the moment, though I could write one up at some point. The short answer, though, is that I knew I wanted green in the color scheme (due to having grown up in the tropics), and I liked how James Hague did his blog https:&#x2

I've been trying out vimwiki for work of late, so far it's been going well for helping me process things. In a quest to find ways to manage my focus, I've also taken up doodling. It's proven to be a good way to help keep

(author here) I definitely recognize that not everyone has the energy to code at home after a day of coding at work. Often, I don't either. Side projects are a varying thing for me. I do try to make sure what I do code gets documented
