@carnage4life I just think about engineers that get to work on problems right away
@freemo we’re gonna need a regex soon

If you use #Emacs I bet you use isearch all the time, but only in its basic form. But what if you could use all of its rich features from a Transient menu? In my latest blog post, I show you how.

@shuttle Too bold. There’s a lot of inertia in this industry. I will even guess that Rust won’t be the majority language in green field projects either in that time frame.
@freemo born on a leap year?
Someday…

I've created a #blog post comparing the performance of standard library 'sort' calls in different languages. Chapel's sort uses composable parallelism to be 10x faster than other popular languages for a test sort on my PC.
@freemo Interesting demon BTW. Maybe he should be the patron demon of programmers or STEM: from the interwebs:
"He is a demon of the First Hierarchy who seduces by means of laziness, vanity, and rationalized philosophies. To others, he teacheth mathematical sciences and handicrafts. He doth make men invisible, lead them to hidden treasures, and give them power over serpents. He teacheth secrets. Every question formulated to him sees truthful answer." 😆
@freemo Except for the movie writers. The center is the seal of Astaroth, I had fun looking that up. The outer part is apparently gibberish used in the Bedknobs movie. Did they call the seal by name in the movie? (I have not seen it)
@freemo On your interpretation: perhaps. I find it hard to get those subtleties via text interactions (and irl as well), so I try to assume the best until they are blunt about something. Seems to keep things on the rails, but it's hard at times.
@freemo Yeah he did seem to turn quickly. As a critique of the interaction, maybe this set him off, you seem to be implying he's being PA, whereas I *think* you were saying you appreciated that he wasn't being PA? I'm used to your style of communication, and I am still not sure.
"You are welcome. Best way to end a conversation you have nothing further to add to is simply by not speaking. Comes across a little passive aggressive otherwise."
@LouisIngenthron @freemo Whether or not it is in fact faster or less error prone I have no clue, but that corollary doesn't appear to true, it was apparently designed to alternate left and right hands so the first typewriters didn't jam. The "slow typists down" thing seems to be an often repeated myth.
@adx vertico-directory for the directory navigation.
@uncomfyhalomacro make sure you have native json enabled in your emacs build. I use eglot myself but I didn’t think it was faster.
@uncomfyhalomacro to start? It’s usually ~0.4s on my Linux box. ~0.2s console. Deps on file cache warmness as well. It can be a few secs right after a boot. Fairly beefy machine.
