I assumed those were aliases for `git a` and `git cp` which are in the config file.

What tools? That's a git config file.

I also haven't seen an ad on the Gmail web client in years. Maybe because I pay for extra storage through Google One? Edit: It looks like it doesn't happen in the primary tab and I have all the other tabs disabled which would expl

Reading through the GitHub issue, it seems like the one place it makes sense in my eyes is that you can refer to stuff in external libraries with your convention even if the library uses a different one. I'm not sure if there's so

Thanks, but an answer from someone that knows the language that they're talking about would be much more productive.

You still haven't shown me any data to back up your assertion, but you're welcome I guess.

I find VS Code with the Haskell extension to be very good for displaying type signatures, code completion and navigation, etc. Holes (which are covered by the article) are the go-to way to see what's possible at the current location. Y

It's absolutely not peculiar to Python, it's something that every single language implementation has to make a decision on one way or the other. Here's an SO answer from 2008 about how to enable TCO in various C and C++ compi

I'm not sure, so here are a couple examples. def f() = g() In a language implementation that doesn't optimize tail calls, the stack would look like the following after the call to g: g f main In a

by travv0 5y ago
Tail call optimization has nothing to do with optimizing for different CPUs, it's about dropping a function's stack frame when it's evaluating its return expression and its stack frame isn't needed anymore.

The people that would want to know about a new version of some software are surely already familiar with that software, no?

Just to elaborate a bit, in CL, numbers are FIXNUMs by default but are promoted to BIGNUMs if needed. CL also has rational and complex numbers, which it probably got from Scheme but I'm not familiar with that history.

The "Embeddable" in Embeddable Common Lisp means that you can embed your CL code in C programs, not that it's for embedded programming. Probably a poor naming choice because a lot of people have this perception about it.
