@dabeaz templates used to use ^L for separating sections. They switched to use a magic string instead. I wonder why.

Industry's best code to documentation ratio :D

#python

I should use #!/usr/bin/env pypy3 more often.

"NodeJS takes 1.38s to run an equivalent benchmark. And impressively, PyPy [PyPy3 v7.3.1] only takes 0.31s to run the original version of the benchmark."

RIP chocolatey, you've been "innovated"

I created a bunch of new #ocaml projects recently. And I end up always setting up the same few things. So here is a template for an ocaml project using modern tooling. Tried to keep it simple. Hopefully nothing has been forgotten. Yes the name is pompous.

@rauchg has existed for a while now. Great for use with output of markdown->HTML converters like pandoc.

@lisovskyvlad @rauchg Yup! compares many classless CSS themes. I liked water.css from that list for my projects.

And if you think: "Cute but I have my stuff in The Cloud so it's safe", think again. The cloud is only somebody else's computer and I wouldn't trust those guys.

python3 -i # Run , then put yourself into the python interactive console. Nice for when you're debugging problems/playing around and want to front load a bunch of code.

Additionally, the Cuban Adjustment Act of 1966 selectively grants Cuban émigrés permanent residency, denying the same benefits to other Latin American refugees, many of whom were also victims of communism

Good point by @npunwani in addition to Lautenberg

@ganeshkrishna Fileinput module exists to iterate over stdin stream etc., but given the whitespace sensitive nature of python, its not used like perl -pe

How very Charles Moorian/FORTHish -

Wrote a thing: Python Line Processing Pattern -

"..The Prelude is imported by default into all Haskell modules unless either there is an explicit import statement for it"

Haskell makes you aware of this from get go.

@deech It seems as though some HDMI switches have a remote "switch" button, like this one: , if you wire them together it may be stable enough for daily use

In his words

I have this weird theory that when you find something stupid programmers believe, you can find a stupid passage in a secret old book that started it all.

Today I found the stupid book that explains most of the stupid in devops from about 2008-2016:

I really appreciate this Project Loom piece, both for the good things it suggests about where the JVM is going, and for making a clear case that M:N threading is the right thing for most platforms.

Much better article about India. Numbers, interviews, focus on what people are doing to improve their situation.

@rossabaker @domenkozar I was trying to follow these -

Ironically the page says: "Unless you like compiling for two hours, enable the Nix cache for neuron."

(i did run the cachix line looking at zsh hist). later found out that the mac build was broken -

I am speaking again at ThinkOlio tonight. I will be speaking about the Indian epic, the Mahabharata, and our contemporary political and social crises.

@btbytes I use , which provides the tool chain in cachix as long as your nixpkgs aligns with theirs. It's still too easy to fall off the happy path and into hours of compiling ghc, but the happy path has been good.

Navajo Nation AG issues heartfelt thanks for Irish donations -

"...there has been a staggering outpouring of support from Irish people & people of Irish descent...inspired by the donation the Choctaw Nation sent in 1847 during the Great Famine."

@btbytes Also a reminder that modern software development is all about familiarizing oneself with libraries and calling functions..
