    Isn't the folk intuition that "words come after thoughts"? I agree that a stroke cannot isolate language exactly, it's not an ideal approximation of "languagelessness". I think you…

    So what is it, then? Some mystical thing?

    I'm not saying it is text. But it's not an image.

    Picture your last meal. Is it a picture? Pixel or vector, or like a photo?

    There are no movie clips in your brain that you replay. You are re-narrating the scene, you just may not notice it.

    You just lack (or lacked) introspection, nothing special. Many people claim to have no inner monologue. When pressed, it always comes out. Simply put, it's impossible to function a…

    I've been using tig, written in C, for ages now, never once crashed. And I'm all for safe languages, but a git TUI isn't really as critical as you imply - if I interpreted the sarc…

    The new fullscreen UI is really bad. The old one (scrolling) starts to bug out after a while, but it van just be restarted and resumed.

    You're right, he said the request is equivalent. Also, take it easy, it was merely a suggestion. The interesting part was comparing a feature/flag/branch to a fork, to me.

    IMHO this busywork is (mostly) preferrable, because it meant that any package was truly pure Elm, and you could blindly trust it not to be some wrapper that crashed at runtime. It'…

    I haven't tried it, but Elm might be a really good fit for LLMs, because it forbids taking shortcuts.

    Or, you became aware of the agitation and interrupted it. The CO2 was a placebo. You have invested already in the idea, it all clicked in your mind.

    It's not that it has been glossed over, or was a mistake. It's a tradeoff in favor of simplicity (and compiler / tooling speed). It is difficult to view Go as a serious language be…
