Nope, it's all light theme with comic sans and small caps for me

Aquascope does a little visualization of what's going on behind the scenes. cs.brown.edu made it for their rust book experiment: https://cognitive-engineering-lab.github.io/aquascope/

1. throw book on table and let it open to random page
2. close eyes and drop pencil on open book
3. hard code numbers under pencil in fortran code

edit: oh wow I just realized the sequel was published last year

It's a logical or in some languages like cobol that were actively used during the early 17th century

I just want Coke to bring back Tab and Pepsi to introduce a competing drink called Space

Was it (2*b | ! 2*b) or (2*b || ! 2*b) ? It's been a while since I read his book

Any news on who's going to own their commercial tlds like .dev and .app?

They're very useful for the boilerplate stuff and it's somewhat rewarding to type out 3-4 letters, hit tab and wind up with half a dozen lines in a bash script or config file.

They tend to get in the way more for complicated tasks, but I have learned to use them as a psychology trick: if I have writer's block, I just let them pump out something wrong since it's easier to critique a blob of text than a blank page.

I found for myself that part of the journey in career advancement was looking at code, thinking "wow this really sucks! how could they be so stupid to do this!" and then realize that I wrote it a year or two prior.

Humbleness comes. I've since adopted it as a metric to determine if someone is really a senior or lead or level 60 paladin or whatever.

I haven't messed with it much, but they do offer a high-level diff list about midway down the home page: https://www.infernojs.org/

It's on my radar and I'm sure it's on a number of other people's as well. It just takes a little onboarding time like all good projects.

Worth noting: the ui is in inferno js

I plowed through it like a textbook on my first read, not really to absorb it 100% but to at least make the cadence and content familiar. I read it as a reference in parts on subsequent reads.
