TI-83 was built on Z80 as well. I remember hand-assembling a program for it with pen and paper, something I did earlier with the Sinclairs.

And Haskell is an ensemble of rainbows. It's very fun and pretty to look at. Type classes can smooth over some of it but it's not unusual to have to do some plumbing.

I didn't consider inlining but I believe you're correct, you could regain the optimisation for this example since the function is non-recursive and the application is shallow. The …

One slightly contrived example would be if you had a function that returned the point of a set closest to another given point. getClosest :: Set Point -> Point -> Point You could i…

One "feature of currying" in Haskell that isn't mentioned in the fine article is that parts of the function may not be dependent on the last argument(s) and only needs to be evalua…

It may or may not change everything.

Emacs is practically a product of AI research. Even if it didn't, it's distributed with a psychotherapist mode, hippie-expand (which I use almost every day) and dabbrev.

I maintain a couple of Debian servers and this is how I do it too. Reverse proxy, DB, etc from Debian. The application server is built and deployed with nix. The Python version (an…

Are you aware of Sioyek[0]? It's a PDF viewer with a fairly minimal UI and a focus on keyboard interaction. [0]: https://sioyek.info

It reminded me of the Sinclair Zeta[0][1]. I hope their product work out better. [0]: http://rk.nvg.ntnu.no/sinclair/vehicles/zeta.htm [1]: https://www.grantsinclair.com/vehiclehis…

The reason I spelled it out is because I don't use them even though they are available. I realise now that what I wrote is ambiguous, thanks for mentioning it.

I work almost exclusively in Emacs without the modern LSP-based tools. I believe I do keep more in my head than programmers that use more advanced IDEs. In code I have control over…

My python+numpy+matplotlib version from when I was playing around with it: import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt n = 2048 X, Y = np.mgrid[:n,:n] plt.imshow(X^Y, cmap=p…

I've had luck with the Prologix Ethernet GPIB adapters[0]. At $500 I wouldn't call them cheap but they are a lot easier to integrate than those old NI/Keysight PCI/USB-based interf…

I live in Sweden where we have minimum 25 paid vacation days (I have 28) and 9 paid holidays. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_minimum_annual_leave_b...

The auto-quotation in jupyter-notebook (codemirror?) drives me bonkers. I certainly sympathise with the author.

Ericsson had an internal IRC server a long time ago.

Seems like I'm just slightly older (230381) with a two letter username.

Photopia by Adam Cadre. https://ifdb.org/viewgame?id=ju778uv5xaswnlpl It's short and sweet game and a good introduction to interactive fiction (IF) in my opinion.

I've used nix on Ubuntu and AlmaLinux. I'm betting that nix works on all the distros you listed.

You recall correctly. https://www.dell.com/community/XPS/FAQ-Modern-Standby/td-p/7...

I doubt there could ever be something official, but for me (and others,) nixpkgs serves as a central source for a huge amount of C and C++ code.

I'm closing in on 15 years of git usage as well. Before that for a short period I really wanted to get into darcs, the first DVCS I used. I was constantly confused about what comma…

I always run small mutations like that in a transaction. BEGIN; DELETE FROM product WHERE id=123; ROLLBACK; --COMMIT; And then I remove/comment the ROLLBACK and enable the COMMIT w…
