Yeah when I'll make mashed potatoes, I mix pieces of peeled russets (which have a smoother texture) and red potatoes with the skin on. I like the taste of red potatoes and it gives the purée a rustic texture. When I peel russets, I us

tonksy also has some interesting opinions on syntax highlighting - not necessarily against highlighting, but taking a more minimalist stance against how highlighting is typically done: https://tonsky.me/blog/syntax-high

Electron requires effort to get single instance. I've had to implement it. You need to call this: https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/app#apprequestsin... and handle this event: https:/&#x2F

It happens when the indentation is established on the same line as other code, so having a rule that you need a newline to start indentation will avoid the issue. Examples from haskell: foo x y = do a <- something

I don't mind indentation based languages. I used to hate them, but they've grown on me after using python, Haskell, Idris, Agda, etc. And I ended up making my own language indentation based (it is similar to Idris). That said, it

That looks like a nice tool. It would be helpful if it could optionally run off of a data file. I've used "ncdu" to visualize my restic backups by writing a script that generates the ncdu data format, and more recently I&#x2

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 purpose for me -

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

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 html. The wasm for Te

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 on windows,

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 all of this is that i

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 inside.)

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 syntax highligh

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.

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 the app open.)
