I think I took out an extra comma too, which hurts readability. Personally I write with too many asides, normally done with commas and parentheses. It's a comforting habit to fall …

It may be due to AI proliferation, or the culturural bias I have, but I increasingly find em-dashes jarring . As you point out, authors use them for the "natural and chaotic shifts…

I've found having yt-dlp available on my iPhone useful, and used Pythonista to achieve that, but haven't figured out how to get the new requirements to work yet. Would love any ide…

Out of interest, what do you think it would look like if communicating was algorithmic? I know that it doesn't feel like I am doing anything particularly algorithmic when I communi…

They have a MasterClass® class that you might like if you have an account (or if you don't!) https://www.masterclass.com/classes/penn-and-teller-teach-th...

No claim was made that it is not open source. The contention was over if it was a free license or not: > not free software which it is. As F3nd0 said, it's both.

I anticipate this will make it much easier for me to get my little team of actuaries formatting their code. The impact of uv on our onboarding and utilisation of python has already…

Thanks, I'm pretty sure I was thinking of this whole discussion when I made my original comment :)

I'm completely ignorant so forgive me if this is obvious: in the effort of the parent article - to compile rustc with gcc - will rustc still be feeding lots of code to LLVM, or wou…

Really great read. Someone mentioned recently that the slowness of rustc is in large part due to llvm. I know that is probably orthogonal to the work here, but I do like the idea o…

Recent moonlanders have been having trouble landing on the moon. Some are just crashing, but tipping over after landing is a real problem too. Hence the joke above :)

This worked pretty well for me: uv add --dev uv-bump uv-bump Agree that something like this should be built in. https://pypi.org/project/uv-bump/

bios444's comment is a sibling, and yes I can't reply to them.

Hey bios444 if you see this your comments are not showing as you seem to have been hit by HN's shadowban hammer. It seems like you might also be absurdwebsite which doesn't seem to…

Just reiterating what cogogo stated in a sibling, but the thing that threw me was the 'review' in the title. I was expecting some critique or comparison but instead saw summary and…

Thought I'd check the arithmetic for 2 two-digit numbers, and it works! I expect 41+14 to be 12 (two right plus two up equals two right and two up). Long addition in long form belo…

This is from 2011, FYI.

Low earth orbit is in space ('outer space'), so unless they have been to other parts of space not sure it's more correct - perhaps more specific, but I think the more general corre…

Completed it. Was really fun, thank you! I wasn't sure how to chain function calls so had to look that up to implement movei, but apart from that was fairly straightforward (it's (…

My favourite related trick is to use cross viewing to solve find-the-difference puzzles. Set up so the two images (with slight differences) are next to each other, cross your eyes,…

Now just need to duplicate the mouse cursor to be in 3D too! I also had to shrink the window as I couldn't manage the cross view on a widescreen :)

For those who haven't seen it before, throwing out nand2tetris and nandgame as another interesting journey from logic gates -> computer programs running on a CPU. nandgame, in part…

Sally Pointer is another experimental archaeologist who produces great content on youtube. Her stuff tends to be more textiles and foraging based, and is an excellent rabbit hole t…
