Thanks for taking the most uncharitable interpretation of what I wrote possible. It’s so productive.

Is it standard for people in the Andes to take offence at people taking pictures of them? I don’t know, maybe it is, haven’t been there. It is not in Europe.

If you avoid the slightest possibility of unpleasant and pointless confrontations, then you’re going to lead a very dull life. I sometimes photograph random people. Never has anyon…

Hopefully k is natural. ;)

It doesn’t matter which definition you pick. I e.g. had it defined axiomatically when I studied, i.e. we were given a list of properties which identify exp unambiguously and then w…

Transcendental numbers like e are a lot more "unnatural" than imaginary numbers.

Following fashion has nothing to do with hacking.

It’s great to hear. Thanks.

It’s Qt: https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/blob/main/src/cpp/desktop... It seems with some JavaScript generated from Java via Gwt. Regardless, I prefer it over VSCode UI.

Are they going to drop RStudio? I very much prefer its Qt interface over whatever VSCode invented. It’s fast, has nice keyboard shortcuts, none of that pointless padding and it jus…

The base graphics packages make the plots as ugly as the ones generated by gnuplot though. ggplot2 on the other hand has very pretty output. And the concept of grammar of plots jus…

> So, what, exactly, am I looking for? This can’t be answered in general. Flamegraphs are measurements of what happened. But just like a ruler doesn’t tell you whether a given huma…

This has nothing to do with GCC being a first-class citizen in Linux . It’s a kernel feature. The kernel doesn’t care which compiler or debugger you’re using. You can dump core of …

You must not have seen Bloomberg Terminal then. Most devs on this forum wouldn’t be even able to build anything this performant and ergonomic.

> 100% branch coverage means that you've fundamentally covered all potential states your software can enter. No, it doesn’t. bool is_even(int n) { return true; } bool test_is_even(…

And even if you do know what it does, it’s very impractical given that it’s a global option. Turning it on for selected portions of code would be a completely different game.

> It's still not a feature you can expect all implementations to have, so OCaml is not in a bad position there I think. The number of SML implementations supporting this feature is…

When would you use it? Emacs dired works fine on other platforms, which don’t have GNU ls on them, so I’m guessing by default it doesn’t run ls on its own.

You can see part of its black beak on the right hand side.

Without HiDPI (sic!) scaling that means that a correctly-sized display for that resolution would have a 30" diagonal on Windows (standard PPI: 96) and 40" on Mac (standard PPI: 72)…

9pt == 12px on the web. You can check that in Web Inspector in computed styles. Alternatively: 1px = (1/96)in 1pt = (1/72)in = (1/72)*(96/72)*(72/96)in = (96/72)*(1/96)in = (4/3)*1…

It’s the opposite for me. I keep finding dumb bugs in Chromium, when it comes to correct website rendering and event handling (always regressions). Safari and Firefox on the other …

I’m not a fan of concatenating strings either. I was thinking about the MSVC/Pascal-style inline assembly here, which isn’t based on strings. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t t…

It seems that MSVC supports inline assembly only on 32-bit x86. For amd64 and ARM they moved entirely to intrinsics.
