I would think of using 'Frenchie' to refer to a person as being affectionate banter. Like 'Yank' for Americans or 'Canuck' for Canadians. It's not incorrect, but would be inappropr…

I'm using the words 'grammatical' and 'ungrammatical' in a linguistic sense; human languages are subtle and fluid, and one doesn't have to be far along the sliding scale between 'd…

It's not completely wrong, it will be understood, but it is ungrammatical and a clear marker that the speaker is not native, similar to getting adjectives in the 'wrong' order ('a …

Either pandoc or shellcheck, for sure. Both of them are sensible choices to use Haskell for

Oh, right, I see it now. It wasn't visible straight away on my phone.

My first result was a Chinese porn website. Thank goodness I'm at home and not at work right now. You may wish to add a disclaimer about that.

Switching to dvorak definitely helped me. I did as the author suggests, learned dvorak and switched to Emacs. Ever since, I've never struggled with RSI

There is no Cabal.

Contrary to the other commenters, I see this as a huge improvement. Maybe I'm more used to languages like C rather than what, ml, python, pascal?

Pinetrees are eco fascists (mostly admirers of the unabomber) who use the pinetree emoji in their names. Trad-cath-leninist is more straightforward: traditional (I.e. Reactionary/f…

My impression of twitter was of an insular bizzaro-world where communities that are essentially invisible in meatspace become enormous and have outsized influence; k-pop fans are h…

Best not to engage. Terfs have a vested interest in appearing to be civil, but shrinking into the background when pushed, since the facts refute their position.

With the topic of this thread being slate star codex, it saddens and discourages me that use of a pseudonym is not allowed on letter.wiki.

> If you must do religion, why not Christianity or Islam? I'm amazed this aside isn't getting you downvoted. Have you been under a rock for the last 2000 years? The horrors of Abra…

A Forth shibboleth is that you have to implement your own in order to understand it. Try reading the assembly, then forth source, for jonesforth: https://github.com/AlexandreAbreu/…

You're thinking of INTERCAL: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/INTERCAL

Maybe I'm showing my power level a bit here. To me it means "tweaking something's aesthetics in a way that doesn't improve, perhaps even degrades, performance".

To use computing slang to talk about music: this is just ricing. At best you'll sound out of tune with the rest of the band, at worst you'll run into wolf intervals and other issue…

Could you tell me about your method for this?

It's a varying question and depends what you mean by an all-in-one experience. There's no one perfect language. My answer would probably be Python, though.

I don't think it's ever been meant to listen to per se, more to dance to; hence why it used to be called dance music. Which is funny because I find a lot of edm listenable outside …

What's the best way for an experienced C programmer who doesn't know C++ to learn D? What's the story in terms of using existing C (or C++) code with BetterC or D in general?

As another developer: stop being lazy. It was much worse back in the day in terms of browser differences.

Disagree. Learning a codebase from scratch is tricky; it's better if you have someone to teach you. So if the one contributor gets bus'd, then it'll take time (=money) to get up to…

I like this, very creative! The code generation looks interesting. I'll have to take another look later; can it not be done with the preprocessor?
