(to be clear, i have been on mastodon/fedi for coming up on a decade now and have no qualms about the way leaving or sunsetting an instance works. part of the magic imo is that old…

i've always thought one of git's strengths is offering robust aliasing and subcommand flexibility. why not spend three seconds making git have split too?

e in interactive mode lets you directly edit the patch line by line, so it depends how you count popping open an editor

somewhat relatedly, shell pipelining is very amenable to being massaged into (non stack-based) concatenative programming

dang, and here some us were doing it for free like suckers

with a numpad but without moving my hand

dell opts you in without telling you. one day you'll just reboot to an unexpected bitlocker screen and have to figure out whether you're getting ransomwared before eventually diggi…

do we mathematicians do particularly much work with cows that is made simpler by assuming they're spherical?

clicking through to the repo linked at the end it appears to be rolling-hash-style ast structural pattern matching that ignores things like what names identifiers concretely have

what selective pressures against oldstyle numerals with ascenders/descenders existed that wouldn't have equally applied to letterforms with those same features? (aha i have found t…

> like github repos that don't seem relevant i wouldn't necessarily trust a repo that does seem relevant either. it's trivial to put any data you want at a url which, at a glance, …

minor correction, moar stands for metamodel on a runtime, not meta-object aware runtime

no, first one goes down some wrong avenues before backtracking

that's an excellent reason why one shouldn't validate emails by parsing, not an excuse for barring valid emails through poorly implemented validation

anyone with skin that makes laser/ipl inapplicable, for one

the general asceticism, frign (on the board of suckless.org e.v.) setting his mailserver hostname to a nazi bunker, them picking a torch march through the german countryside as a b…

von neumann's minimax theorem dates back to 1928

the fragment of a word you are thinking of means "two"

yep, same with guitar. go to sleep fumbling through a riff even though you "know" it, wake up playing it smooth as hell

this sort of grammatical error in the defense of ai copyediting does not exactly instill confidence in your supervision of said ai copyediting: "of course an LLM ... were used". pe…

decidedly off topic but since i've stumbled across you again, i'm still over here wondering what the hell you meant a couple months ago by arguing that doing bare syscalls on linux…

saying "10x smaller" is like saying "1000% cheaper"

yeah sometimes you end up making something very cool almost by accident. i tried to make shell pipelines properly concatenative like forth and friends and that had a lot of unexpec…
