I think I took out an extra comma too, which hurts readability. Personally I write with too many asides, normally done with commas and parentheses. It's a comforting habit to fall into, and makes getting your thoughts out so much easie

It may be due to AI proliferation, or the culturural bias I have, but I increasingly find em-dashes jarring . As you point out, authors use them for the "natural and chaotic shifts of thought we all have" and when there are lots

I've found having yt-dlp available on my iPhone useful, and used Pythonista to achieve that, but haven't figured out how to get the new requirements to work yet. Would love any ideas people have!

Out of interest, what do you think it would look like if communicating was algorithmic? I know that it doesn't feel like I am doing anything particularly algorithmic when I communicate but I am not the hommunculus inside me shuffli

No claim was made that it is not open source. The contention was over if it was a free license or not: > not free software which it is. As F3nd0 said, it's both.

I anticipate this will make it much easier for me to get my little team of actuaries formatting their code. The impact of uv on our onboarding and utilisation of python has already been huge, and any way I can easily improve their code hygi

Thanks, I'm pretty sure I was thinking of this whole discussion when I made my original comment :)

I'm completely ignorant so forgive me if this is obvious: in the effort of the parent article - to compile rustc with gcc - will rustc still be feeding lots of code to LLVM, or would that code now be fed to gcc?

by Cogito 1y ago
Really great read. Someone mentioned recently that the slowness of rustc is in large part due to llvm. I know that is probably orthogonal to the work here, but I do like the idea of building the compiler with different toolchains, and that

Recent moonlanders have been having trouble landing on the moon. Some are just crashing, but tipping over after landing is a real problem too. Hence the joke above :)

Hey bios444 if you see this your comments are not showing as you seem to have been hit by HN's shadowban hammer. It seems like you might also be absurdwebsite which doesn't seem to be banned (but does have a hidden post from a

Just reiterating what cogogo stated in a sibling, but the thing that threw me was the 'review' in the title. I was expecting some critique or comparison but instead saw summary and highlights. I enjoyed the summary and highlight

Thought I'd check the arithmetic for 2 two-digit numbers, and it works! I expect 41+14 to be 12 (two right plus two up equals two right and two up). Long addition in long form below uses: '=' to show equivalent lines (reorder

Low earth orbit is in space ('outer space'), so unless they have been to other parts of space not sure it's more correct - perhaps more specific, but I think the more general correct claim wins out. If they'd previously

My favourite related trick is to use cross viewing to solve find-the-difference puzzles. Set up so the two images (with slight differences) are next to each other, cross your eyes, and look for 'shimmering' spots - these are the d

Now just need to duplicate the mouse cursor to be in 3D too! I also had to shrink the window as I couldn't manage the cross view on a widescreen :)

My search nodes were tuples of position, direction, and steps taken in the same direction. More or less a straight depth first search with a priority queue from there.
