Back when I lived in SF, there was one bus route (the 6, I believe) that I could use to get to work. The bus was so slow due to frequent, long stops and traffic lights that I could keep up with it on foot by walking briskly. I only bothered

That's an interesting point. I'm also curious how bus stops interact with timed lights. Presumably each time the bus stops, it gets kicked back to the next cycle of green lights (which might be a low-single-digit minute delay). Ho

That stuck out to me as well. I wonder if there could be a bug where extra code runs but the result is discarded (and the code that runs happens to have no side effects). The post also says > That is roughly 1 billion iterations but that

I am currently going through that book. I recommend it with one caveat: you'll need to have written some interpreters before (Crafting Interpreters is a perfect starting point) because it expects you to already know some things like to

I like having three columns of code open in my editor, but the left edge of the leftmost column (since code is left-justified) gets pretty far away from my face. Or I need stronger glasses, one of the two.

I have a 34" ultrawide and it is huge. I can't imagine a 52" - the edges would be so far away that it must be hard to read text without physically moving left/right

It depends on how the site is configured in Cloudflare. I'm pretty sure I had to change the default settings to make it keep my site up even if my server goes down (and even then I'm not sure I did it right)

Unification is the core of Algorithm W, aka Hindley–Milner type inference. It's at the core of the type inference algorithms for languages like Haskell, OCaml, and standard ML.

I wonder why procmacros are slow. Can the compiler interpret them or does it have to go to all the work of compiling them before they can run?
