I’m sorry you had a negative experience with jupyter-book and Myst.

But have you tried using typst directly like you would LaTeX?

Crank take: Being super tempted to over-engineer all the time (having to stop yourself really) is the sign of a really good language.

The more code I see, the more convinced I become that imperative is inherently low level and low level is inherently imperative. Also functional is inherently high level, maybe there’s another option for high level, but the most desirable high level paradigm is functional.

I get this. In the early days of being vegetarian I did miss it at times. But these days I’ve found happy substitutes and meat makes me feel icky. You can still have cheeseburgers! Just more expensive. Impossible burger or morningstar veggie burgers are good. Ground beef wasn’t cheap either.

Their replacement to soyrizo are so good and inexpensive.

More reeled in/simpler to navigate than KDE (great if not going crazy on configuration). But more feature complete than XFCE. Is my general understanding of the situation. So ideal. The most important thing is gui exclusive navigation works and works well.

Linux Mint is so good. I recommend it to everyone who doesn’t want to live in the terminal.

Not all social media would go though. Just the ones not bribing the government.

If it makes the code more readable, it’s worth it. I know people likely won’t read this code again. But it’s just good practice and way of conceptualizing your code imo.

I agree lol (haven’t gone through grad school yet but want to).

I hate how true this is.

So based

One of the best flavors hands down.

Hippeas Chickpea Puffs (any flavor is happy).

Edit: Well ok apparently not looking further into it. But a significant portion uses Rust (at least 10%). And it’s an ongoing process.

Isn’t firefox written in Rust? Not a functional programming language but still.

The best language for dynamic configuration is scheme. It is a very declarative dialect of LISP. It can do any scripting task one needs and the syntax is as dead simple to learn and parse as a programming language gets, just s-expressions. (3/3)

The best language for static configuration is toml. It is dead simple to learn and parse (both human and machine). Very human readable, it features comments. The only serious downside is it’s flat and there’s no nesting, and this leads to increased file size. But the simplicity is worth it. (2/3)

The best language for serializing is undoubtedly json. It is really easy to learn and parse (especially for a machine), it is a standard. The lack of comments really acts as a feature here. It insures json is only used for data and the existence of a json file communicates this. (1/3)

I’ve been having some thoughts on the best languages to use for serializing and configuration. (0/3)

Typst is also quite good (arguably better than LaTeX). But LaTeX is the standard.

Should probably give Linux Mint as a user friendly suggestion. Definitely the most “it just works” no bs distro.

B. I think it enables sharing more. It computes a closure according to whatever your evaluation strategy is and this is what I’d expect.

Nooooo. Use firefox :(

Some of us enjoy unicode.

Bluesky has a setting that will remind you to add alt text before posting any images.

Go to "Settings," then "Accessibility." Select the checkbox for "Require alt text before posting."

I will die on the hill that if haskell were eagerly evaluated by default, it would be the simplest language. Pure expressions are so much easier to reason about than statements. Explicit is better than implicit (with the exception of ergonomics).

crates.io: Rust Package Registry

Rust with cargo and crates.io is excellent.

They really ought to just make the whole first arc free at this point if they want to attract new players. Meeting your first paywall in wizard city or even the second area of Krokotopia is a really big turnoff. It’s not much gameplay to decide if you enjoy it.

Haskell’s for loops (for_ in Data.Foldable) are the most beautiful implementation of for loops I’ve ever seen. It just encapsulates exactly what a for loop is. It’s also equally ergonomic to the usual impure languages :).
