Big Hairy Audacious Goal was a new one to me.

Not I. I'm just a Boltzmann brain.

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.

This got a smirk out of me.

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

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.

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'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).

Thank you for the wonderful list. Here are some other suggestions that I haven't seen mentioned yet. Apologies for not describing or linking to the games:

- Reventure (highly recommended) - Recursed (same) - Treasure Adventure Game, or its remake Treasure Adventure World - Loot Hound (so relaxing) - Wilmot's Warehouse (same) - Out of Space (the opposite of relaxing) - Q.U.B.E. - There Is No Game - An Untitled Story - Tools Up! - Viscera Cleanup Detail

And of course the well-known (as far as I can tell) Terraria, Minecraft, Stardew Valley, Undertale, Stanley Parable, Dicey Dungeons, Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes, Firewatch, Transistor, Overcooked.

This post became longer than I expected.

My favourite thing about the DLC (which I have yet to finish) is how well it integrates into the main game. It's "just there", and you can go play it if you look specifically for it, or leave it.

Natron is also pretty well-known, I think?

No. Because I never joined in the first place.
