    I think it's important to note a couple of things about this. First, Casey offers refunds on the handmade website for anyone who purchased the pre-order. Second, the pre-orders wer…

    Could you expand a bit on 'immediate mode design purity'? I've done immediate mode stuff from scratch and my experience had been "just write whatever code you need to get it to wor…

    This is not actually that difficult if you just want the basics. I have a project that implements just the x11 key & mouse events, and the shared memory extension in 400 lines of R…

    Let's say I'm sorting some information about an event occuring in Florida, USA next year. It will be on July 4th at 3:00pm. I store this as an ISO string: "2025-07-04T03:00:00Z-5".…

    Gilead claims that is false and that they spent 1.1 billion on developing Truvada. https://www.gilead.com/news-and-press/company-statements/gil...

    Not sure if it could be extended here, but I've seen a lock free hash map that supported lock free reallocation by allocating new space and moving each entry one by one, either whe…

    I read this as mut1 and mut2 both being downgraded to shared references because they aren't used to mutate anymore. I'd imagine that's not what's actually happening though?

    > anyone know of an IDE/tool that can spell check UI strings without tripping up on variable names Sublime Text works pretty well for me. I think you need to turn on spell check in…

    What does a broken repo look like? What does broken mean here?

    I use a similar technique for typing all the symbols. If I press f I get f, r gives me r, but if I press f and r at the same time with my left index finger positioned between the t…

    Is this just an issue with the way the editor is presenting the LSP feedback to you?

    I use an android (and iOS I think) app called Xodo. The "reader mode" re-flows the PDF into a screen-width single column like an e-book. The latest update really buried the option …

    Most teachers I know vastly prefer to grade on paper rather than digitally. Easier to just circle sections and write comments with a pen than deal with the review features in a doc…

    Usually it's done so that the teacher can tell how long the paper is without counting words. Times New Roman at x pt with 1 inch margins fits a well known average number of words p…

    I'm in the process of rearranging my keyboard due to occasional mild pain. Mind if I ask what layout you ended up with for the other keys? Any experience with the more esoteric arr…

    Show HN: A daemon for writing Telegram bots in shell CGI style

    I found there were a number of things that I wanted a personal telegram bot to do which would have been relatively difficult or annoying to implement in a full-blown programming la…

    Yes, that's basically the rational that Jose Valim (or was it someone else?) gives when asked. I still document almost every defp function in exactly the same way I document regula…

    Idk, I think I still want them to be private. One example from just a few days ago was an ecto schema module that had a number of changesets. admin_changeset, director_changeset, m…

    I can still document them with regular comments, just not with @doc documentation "comments" because the compiler gives a warning that @doc can't be used on private functions. It j…

    My only complaint is that I can't document defp functions. Yeah, they're not part of the public API. But in my non-library application the next developer coming along might need so…

    I maintain a 50,000 line elm app. It's not the most used app in the world - has between 50-100 users. But it has had a sum total of 2 bugs since launch - both logic bugs in some co…

    Outer Wilds (not to be confused with Outer Worlds) is the best game I've ever played. An extremely engaging discovery driven story game that's so well executed it puts most AAA tit…
