That was a pretty good car analogy. Thank you.

Edit to add: I'm unsure where assembly would sit in this analogy. Skateboard? Monocycle? Perhaps ice skates.

we have 8 fingers

In English. I'm Portuguese, so I have twenty fingers.

I take it he claims to have created these particular pictures of the fractal, which is likely true. And yes, the webpage containing them as well.

You underestimate what people are willing to do just for fun.

Trackballs are a thing as well.

Big Hairy Audacious Goal was a new one to me.

Solipsism is essentially the one certainty that every mind out there has.

Not I. I'm just a Boltzmann brain.

be aware that there are too many bad game engines. In Rust land, where I am, there are three failed renderers, one unfinished one, and the one inside the Bevy engine. Those are the major projects.

Where does Fyrox sit in this?

Same here. But I hibernate it, which defeats the purpose.

I honestly can't say for sure whether that was intentional or an actual typo. Good job.

Elastic tabspots everywhere would be ideal. But in the real world I think 'tabs to indent, spaces to align' is the superior way, as every dumb text editor will support it.

If you're good at SQL, or SQL-like languages like Linq, it might be more efficient precisely writing a reasonably complex query than trying to explain it in detail to an AI.

You're absolutely right

This got a smirk out of me.

Unless it's being observed externally it is in a state of quantum uncertainty, I think.

if you [...] mentally integrate them properly.

There it is.

Careful not to mix unions with sum types, though. The key distinction is that the latter are disjunct sets, even if you "sum" together the same type twice, you can always tell which "way" you went.

This is a really good point. I'd love to be able to have a sum type of two strings ("escaped" and "unescaped"); or any two kinds of the same type really, to model two kinds of the same type where one has already passed some sort of validation and the other one hasn't.

Edit to add: I figure what I want is for enums to be extended such that different branches are able to carry different properties.

Edit again (I should learn to think things through before posting. sorry): I suppose it can be faked using a union of different wrapper types, and in fact it might be the best way to do it so then methods can take just one of the types in arguments and maybe even provide different overloads.

Which brings us to: SpaceChem's soundtrack.

Elon Musk's ears are burning.

I don't remember which HN thread I've heard this joke originally from, but...

People in Montenegro: it's not .yu, it's .me

The core of what we were doing (Writing code) dictated the core of our tool kit (IDE). > Now that we're not writing code anymore it's very exciting to see how this unfolds in the tool kit.

So maybe the text area in your IDE becomes read-only. Even when not actively debugging, you still need to read code and efficiently browse through it as you review it. Because you always review code, don't you? Don't you??

For what is worth, I prefer the name pomato to totato.

For what it's worth, it's what caught my attention. I wouldn't have found it so captivating if it had only said "Fixing Google Nano Banana Pixel Art". To be clear, it's not because of Rust in particular. It would have been the same if it said "with C#", or "with Python", or even just "programmatically". And on that note: I feel disappointed. I thought I would be reading about the development process, and not just a product presentation.

If someone makes a presentation about this format, it will be a PEP talk.

It breaks scrolling with the arrow keys or PgDn/PgUp as well.

After a certain number of open tabs, the titles are less truncated with vertical tabs than horizontal tabs. You also have more of the titles in your center view if you have the text distributed in a more rectangular shape than a technically-also-rectangular-but-much-more-elongated shape.

I haven't seen GitHub break a working URL that they have hosted in the 17+ years since they first launched.

I'd like to have working links in the directory tree again, please. Some of us like middle-clicking to open files in new tabs.

Since there are _literally_ people who use, and have been using for a while, the word without the same exact meaning as we both agree on... well.

Having said that, I will join you in this fight.

About time. (not sorry)

Thanks. I forgot to mention De Blob (and its 2).
