Not exactly removed, the feature was still there, but could be used only if your module was in Elm namespace (the compiler checked). It was kind of a "no soup for you" situation, which bothered me. Elm served its…
On the last exercise of world 6, rewrite the highlight, "cw" leaves the "a" at the end of the line. Both "c$" and "C" work. I didn't know about "C" until I read the web page - I've been using c$ for that.
Is this related to web2js[1], which has been around for a while? It compiles the pascal code of TeX to wasm. It looks like the live demo is no longer up, but it did run latex in the browser and render the dvi output to…

Back in the 90's I had a Matrox card that would crash the machine if the hardware cursor changed at the wrong time. I think it was related to VBI, but it's been a while. Linux resolved this issue, but to work around it…
ublock origin lite is blocking a bunch of stuff for me, and things are unbearable when I turn it off. For many sites, especially news sites, I toggle javascript off. It's reasonably easy to do per site in chrome (click…
I probably should have clarified that I'm on an M1 then (a macbook pro, so there is a fan). I didn't realize the newer ones get warmer.
I've found that Baldur's Gate 3 will warm up my apple silicon (everyday tasks do not).
For context - the top answer was written by Bill Thurston, who was awarded a Fields Medal. (Kind of like a nobel prize for mathematics.)
I don't see how this is going to work when every application decides to ship and run a 4GB model, competing for video memory. It's going to be the Electron problem times 10.
I recently saw this with the logseq api - the published api was an auto-generated stub. So I tried to grep the source code for the function and found detailed documentation written for claude. So I guess one benefit of…
Yeah, I think that's what the program creates in your github account. I see the source to those files embedded in the executable. (I'm not running the executable, but I downloaded the linux one to my mac to take a look…
For caveman debugging, if I'm not sitting in a monad, I usually reach for something like Debug.Trace. Typically that's in Idris or my own language, but I see that haskell has it too. For my own language, I have the…
Yeah, I think Swiss French had more? (It's been about four decades since I took French, and high school classes are not very effective.)
Historically, quite a few languages were (or are) vigesimal. Perhaps decimal is also unnatural.
There is an app for that, too: https://michelf.ca/projects/sim-daltonism/ It has a little window you can move over the screen to simulate a few varieties of color blindness.
The other day they blocked me from accessing Kagi's web site because I was using Kagi's web browser.
I was bit by this years ago when our test cases failed on Linux, but worked on macos. pdftotext was behaving differently (deciding to merge two lines or not) on the two platforms - both were gcc and intel at the time.…
> and need to be prepared to manage things like upgrading firmware At one point in the early 2000's, my brother was soldering new capacitors onto dell raid cards. (I like to call that full-stack ops.)
I know it is out of scope for this article, but there are variants where the operations are monadic rather than applicative and the shape of the graph can change depending on values. And also variations with state -…
I've been using birdnet, but it seems to want an internet connection to do the identification and sometimes that is dicey when there is a bird that I want to identify. (Also birds seem to shut up around the time you get…
Yeah, a few years ago I tried the free ones, but eventually settled on Comic Code. I've been using it ever since - it's pleasant to code with. (If anyone is considering this - the "essentials" set with bold/italic is…
I typically wash my wok (and any carbon steel skillet) before eating. They seem to be easier to clean while hot. But I use an outdoor butane burner for the wok, so I'm not heating it back up afterwards. I usually wash…
Worse than that - people will start tagging "this value is a Date" via comments, and you'll need to parse ad-hoc tags in the comments to decode the data. People already do tagging in-band, but at least it's in-band and…
As someone who cut their teeth on a sun "programmer" layout, I really need control to be in that position. I might try mapping the vestigial control key to escape though. Or maybe the hack that dtj1123 describes (tap is…
