IIRC it takes about 30ish minutes for caffeine to “kick in”. So if you have a bit, then take a nap, it can give you a nice 20ish minute power nap, then naturally wake you up so you don’t feel groggy. The key is to be able to fall asleep quickly enough to have a decent power nap before it kicks in.

So we meet at diefenbunker.ca? Sounds like a plan! 🍁

What makes you think that? I’m curious. I would’ve assumed something like Inuktitut (1 word conveys subject verb object tense …) or something like toki pona (removes unused information) or maybe a highly analytical language like one of the Chinese languages.

Interesting that Canada wasn’t included (at about 20%). Wonder how/why they picked those countries.

Thank you. Clear, easily understood explanations of questions I always wondered. 👍🏼

Whenever I see this image I always wonder 2 things:

1. What makes hemoglobin more efficient?
2. Why do we even need these fancy molecules to transport oxygen? Can’t we produce some kind of biological ampule that holds some pure O2 for consumption by the various processes that need it? We have dedicated organelle structures for similar tasks (i.e. mitochondria)

Apparently it’s not even really all that stable, so that whole container would rapidly decompose into probably carbon dioxide (CO2) and a bunch of pure carbon (think charcoal). At least that’s my hunch. There is a Wikipedia article on the stuff, but it’s pretty short, since it’s a pretty unusual chemical (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicarbon_monoxide ).

CO2 is of course extremely common. I’d love to see what a chemist can describe about a bottle of C2O though!

I’m in the rare group of: tastes soapy, but I like it. I blame thrills gum.

Ada, hands down. Every time I go to learn Rust I’m disappointed by the lack of safety. I get that it’s miles ahead of C++, but that’s not much. I get that it strikes a much better balance than Ada (it’s not too hard to get it to compile) but it still leaves a lot to be desired in terms of safe interfacing. Plus it’s memory model is more complicated than it needs to be (though Ada’s secondary stack takes some getting used to).

I wonder if any other Ada devs have experience with rust and can make a better comparison?

First time trying it out. Got a bit lucky.

EDIT: just realized I did the wrong date! sorry. still, thanks for showing me a new daily puzzle. :)

I use fslint myself. Basically a linter for files :)

Sadly front end, like “High Level” is a very relative term. For example, in compiler design, the bit that parses code is called the “front end” since the “back end” is what emits machine code. I think that’s what they mean here, the “front end” that understands D3D8 code has been added, presumably there is also a “back end” that converts the parsed/analyzed D3D8 code into valid opcodes for consumption by GPU/CPUs.

In the other direction, a UI/UX is sometimes called a “back end” when it is part of a more complex embedded project where physical controls are the “front end”.

Why wouldn’t a Jew get in the car?

They do list lemmy in the advanced “bubbling under” category. I guess they deem lemmy to be a work in progress, but not tildes?

I still use Ada daily for my personal projects after having used it at work. I find it compliments my thinking patterns well. My only gripe with it is that they ate too much of their own dog food at AdaCore and now it can be hard to install Ada and gprbuild (due to a circular dependency). Plus gprc stole libgpr and broke some stuff too.

If you read the readme, this looks like it’s specifically for when you don’t know the correct tld or spelling of the site you’re looking for. Google searches often censor sites of borderline legality, but they’ll usually still have Wikipedia articles with accurate links.

This specifically only redirects .idk domains as a search helper. Could it possibly work better as a browser extension? Maybe. :)

That would be an excellent idea. But I feel like an even broader community should be created. Like a generic book club, but for code bases! Could even have a small handful of different code bases on the go at a time. I’d love to get to know lemmy’s, but also e.g. neovim, or even unciv :)

Maybe one day it could even start tackling Moby Dick!

My question when I see responses like this is: what genuinely useful new safety features have been added since Ada? It’s ancient and has distinct types, borrow checking (via limited types), range types, and even fixed point types. I’ve always wondered what niche Rust is targeting that Ada hasn’t occupied already. It feels like devs decided that safety was important, c/c++ are too unsafe, need a new language; without ever having looked to see if such a language exists?

I’m also wondering what’s in the top-left. Is it a bowl of stones?

Wait! I figured it out.

You were close with C-section, but got the direction wrong. Clearly this is getting ready for urgent replacement of gizzard stones! :)

All praise our lord and saviour git rebase -i!
