TI-83 was built on Z80 as well. I remember hand-assembling a program for it with pen and paper, something I did earlier with the Sinclairs.

And Haskell is an ensemble of rainbows. It's very fun and pretty to look at. Type classes can smooth over some of it but it's not unusual to have to do some plumbing.

I didn't consider inlining but I believe you're correct, you could regain the optimisation for this example since the function is non-recursive and the application is shallow. The GHC optimisation I had in mind is like the opposi

One slightly contrived example would be if you had a function that returned the point of a set closest to another given point. getClosest :: Set Point -> Point -> Point You could imagine getClosest build a quadtree internally and that

One "feature of currying" in Haskell that isn't mentioned in the fine article is that parts of the function may not be dependent on the last argument(s) and only needs to be evaluated once over many application of the last ar

Emacs is practically a product of AI research. Even if it didn't, it's distributed with a psychotherapist mode, hippie-expand (which I use almost every day) and dabbrev.

I maintain a couple of Debian servers and this is how I do it too. Reverse proxy, DB, etc from Debian. The application server is built and deployed with nix. The Python version (and all the dependencies) that runs the application server i

Are you aware of Sioyek[0]? It's a PDF viewer with a fairly minimal UI and a focus on keyboard interaction. [0]: https://sioyek.info

The reason I spelled it out is because I don't use them even though they are available. I realise now that what I wrote is ambiguous, thanks for mentioning it.

I work almost exclusively in Emacs without the modern LSP-based tools. I believe I do keep more in my head than programmers that use more advanced IDEs. In code I have control over myself I avoid imports that doesn't enumerate all imp

My python+numpy+matplotlib version from when I was playing around with it: import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt n = 2048 X, Y = np.mgrid[:n,:n] plt.imshow(X^Y, cmap=plt.cm.Spectral) plt.show()

I've had luck with the Prologix Ethernet<->GPIB adapters[0]. At $500 I wouldn't call them cheap but they are a lot easier to integrate than those old NI/Keysight PCI/USB-based interfaces. [0]: https://p

The auto-quotation in jupyter-notebook (codemirror?) drives me bonkers. I certainly sympathise with the author.

Photopia by Adam Cadre. https://ifdb.org/viewgame?id=ju778uv5xaswnlpl It's short and sweet game and a good introduction to interactive fiction (IF) in my opinion.

I've used nix on Ubuntu and AlmaLinux. I'm betting that nix works on all the distros you listed.

I doubt there could ever be something official, but for me (and others,) nixpkgs serves as a central source for a huge amount of C and C++ code.

I'm closing in on 15 years of git usage as well. Before that for a short period I really wanted to get into darcs, the first DVCS I used. I was constantly confused about what commands to use to rectify the off-the-happy-path situation

I always run small mutations like that in a transaction. BEGIN; DELETE FROM product WHERE id=123; ROLLBACK; --COMMIT; And then I remove/comment the ROLLBACK and enable the COMMIT when I'm confident it's correct.

I didn't know about C-x SPC, thanks for the tip! I enjoyed your article but I think the solution for me is to leave TMM disabled, though it makes me curious about what else I've missed in the last decade(s). You just made a sale

I do too. I'm one of those weirdos that disable transient-mark-mode because I don't feel like it does the right thing for all situations where you use mark. Sometimes I want to use mark like a cheap bookmark and C-x C-x between m

fix :: (a -> a) -> a fix f = f (fix f) f :: [Int] -> [Int] f xs = 1 : map (*2) xs take 7 (fix f) ==> [1,2,4,8,16,32,64] Looks right to me.
