It's funny that this is the first time I've seen a language explicitly condone "print debugging." It's one of those things that everyone says you're not supposed to do and then doe…

That might just have been a failure with the GPS -- I've had the same issue before, but the car icon was offset a bit from the highway, so it looked like I was constantly driving o…

While I agree that the criticism "you're just trying to look smart" is misguided, it's a bit ironic that his response had the implication that "if I know this thing and you don't t…

Lots more fizzbuzzes here, in both standard and weird languages: https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/q/58615/3808 (They're golfed, meaning bytecount is minimized.)

The example they give isn't really convincing, to me. I can see the usecase for this kind of language, but for e.g. searching for a pattern on the shell that isn't just one of a fe…

One feature I really miss in a lot of chat clients (that this doesn't appear to have) is the ability to reply to specific messages, like in Stack Exchange chat or Telegram. It make…

The idea that language limits or constrains the way people think (the stronger side of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis) is now largely discredited by the majority of linguists.

This is really cool! Crazy idea: what if the first letter of the domain name was used to determine the first letter of the Unicode name of the emoji to select? That way there'd be …

It makes me a little uncomfortable that they're using curl|bash for something as simple as "put this 10-line script somewhere in your $PATH," especially when the script involves su…

Personally, when I write shell commands, they tend to be write-only code, because the shell isn't really suitable for anything more complex. So it's easier to think in code than it…

The `sort' example will break past one-digit numbers without the -n flag, and the example for `uniq' isn't even accurate without sorting first (not to mention the UUOC). Setting as…

Hmm, why doesn't `fn() echo test; fn` work? It seems to work in zsh, but not bash.

A similar tool, but even simpler: https://txt.fyi/

Plain text is small, and the smallest limit appears to be on the order of 2MB, which is enough to fit several NaNoWriMo novels. (And that's if you're storing them uncompressed.) (s…

Wow... when this project began over a year ago, it seemed almost impossible. It's almost surreal to see the results finally all put together. (And it really goes to show how a few …
