One cool thing about J (or any APL language) is that LLMs absolutely cannot write J code, so the whole thing feels like a breath of fresh air from the usual LLM slop

Very interesting to see the ML influences like ~ for unary minus, unscoped enums, mut on specific struct fields...

It seems like over time, a lot of that was replaced with C++-style syntax and semantics. Presumably to make the language appeal more to C++ devs

Is serde maintained by the Rust team? I thought it was basically a one-man show owned by dtolnay

I share the same sentiment about the HN community, but there are still a lot of interesting articles posted here that are fun to read

My website was down too, because a tree fell on my power line

In TFA they mentioned they preallocate all the memory up front

Yes, that fragment in particular screams LLM to me. It's the exact kind of meaningless yet overly dramatic slop that LLMs love

I love standard ml (I'm currently writing a compiler for it), but it's far from perfect. There are weird special cases in the language definition like the ad-hoc overloading between int and real, or the annoying value restriction. Records also feel half-baked, with no support for updating fields or for partially-specified records where the full set of fields is not known

Not in Go

I'm sure all these layers are good engineering and provide meaningful safety guarantees, but it sure makes the code harder to understand if you want to see how things are implemented.

Another example, I was trying to see how i64::isqrt is implemented, but first you have to wade through layers of macros

Use find?

    find -exec sd before after \;

I'm not sure where you got that XDG_DATA_HOME has to be read-only, I couldn't find anything like that

> $XDG_DATA_HOME defines the base directory relative to which user-specific data files should be stored.

And really, the difference between XDG_DATA_HOME and XDG_CONFIG_HOME is subjective anyway, each application will have its own requirements, so I'm not convinced it's even possible to define these completely precisely.

Personally, I would pick between XDG_DATA_HOME vs XDG_CONFIG_HOME based on whether the application manages the files, or whether the user is expected to manage the files themself. This isn't based on any wording in the standard, but just a pattern I've commonly seen

The definition is perfectly consistent. append is in-place if there's enough capacity (and the programmer can check this directly with cap() if they want), and otherwise it allocates a new backing array.

string is just an immutable []byte. It's actually one of my favorite things about Go that strings can contain invalid utf-8, so you don't end up with the Rust mess of String vs OSString vs PathBuf vs Vec<u8>. It's all just string

You can run Linux software on Android via termux, or the amazing UserLAnd app even lets you install an entire distro userland with several choices (Debian, Arch, etc)

Strange, this once happened to me with a tres leches cake that I made in a metal pan and covered with foil. The next morning the foil had tiny holes and the cake was covered in metal filings!

I'm sure they also gave him a stern talking-to

No one becomes transphobic when a family member comes out as trans, it's usually the opposite

How about the vice president

Makes sense to me, [...]func() is an array of functions, and [...]T{index: value} is uncommon but still perfectly comprehensible

There's no such thing as a "function that returns nothing" in Rust. Unit, written as (), is a first class value and can be assigned to a variable, although there's not much point

Destroying Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities was never the real goal, it's just a convenient casus belli (the same as WMDs in Iraq). Ted Cruz openly stated in an interview last week that the goal is regime change in Iran.

The goal with these preliminary strikes is to get Iran to retaliate, and use that as justification for further escalation.

I don't think Trump personally is anti-semetic. But it's pretty common for right-wingers, even neo-Nazis, to support Israel because of the argument "The Jews get to have a state to call their home, why not Whites?"

agreed, plain text is more scriptable too. Let me pipe it into awk!

Only if you think Capitalism is also inevitable

Sounds a lot like Go

I'm surprised they didn't measure the tail latency, that's where I'd expect busy waiting to make a difference

g also has to use file exactly once

Let's encrypt is free and easy to set up

git switch -C master HEAD~
