Author here.

Yes, regular job control is available interactively.

Note that I'm interested in making scripting work better so I've made little to no attempt to ease interactive use (there are plenty of better alternatives for interactive shells).

I tend to use "rlwrap idio" to make editing easier.

Cool I really have enjoyed playing around with Idio. Most specifying I really love the Lisp influence you have in Idio!

Utterly ridiculous to allow TikTok to continue to operate in the current geopolitical climate. China is a surveillance autocracy and has been engaged in adversarial conduct against the West for years - including extensive psyops.

Shut it down, yesterday. Build a local clone so that people can get their fix or whatever. China sure as shit doesn’t allow its citizens to cough up their personal information for algorithmic consumption to Twitter et al.

Have you been on TikTok? All I see on it are large breasted women, NASA stuff and dog rescues.

I do wonder if there’s any lobbying going on from Facebook or Google to help bolster their Reels and Shorts products, both of which seem to be garbage and miss the point of TikTok (the two way interaction).

Can this be used as an interactive shell?

What? If this draconian policy is happening in Texas, the land of the free, can I assume it's even worse in the rest of North America? I hope Texans are up-in-arms about this government overreach.

SighMagi · 3 years ago
I read it as probably sarcasm, but no, in practice conservative state governments like the one in Texas like to micromanage your life (who to love, what you do with your body etc.)

djgpp + allegro

That combination was killer for a broke teenager in the 90s.

SighMagi · 3 years ago
That was indeed where many of my teenage hours went - hacking out game experiments in DJGPP and Allegro on our family’s 486. It was also my intro to Emacs which stayed with me for decades afterwards.

It's been stated that FTX can access the wallets of their customers [1], I wonder if employees or other bad actors knowing the ship is sinking have decided to - forgive me for the quip - plunder any remaining assets.

SighMagi · 3 years ago
That was my first thought. Not FTX related, but I just got another email from Coinbase reassuring me that they’re not gonna use customer funds without permission. I have in the past moved my shit out of Coinbase wallets because of doubts about that. Honestly though I just want to GTFO of crypto at this point…

Or from

  foo.x
to

  (foo-x foo)
or

  print(a, b, c, d)
to

  (print (a) (b) (c) (d))
I don't think it's the end of the world, but I'm pretty sure one can make solid physiological arguments why the first is a little easier to read.

If it wasn't, how come math notation relies heavily on infix operators and even subscripts, superscripts and more? It's because you want to optimize notation for the frequently used stuff.

    (print (a) (b) (c) (d))
would be

    print(a(), b(), c(), d())

SighMagi commented on In defense of linked lists   antirez.com/news/138... · Posted by u/grep_it
adeptima · 3 years ago
When people asking my opinion for Rust, I loved to share them the Linkedin List implementation link: https://doc.rust-lang.org/src/alloc/collections/linked_list....

And the first feedback is why so many unsafe blocks? What is it Option<NonNull<Node<T>>> ? '_ ?

Another reason to share, if you can understand Linkedin List, you are free to code in Rust ;)

SighMagi · 3 years ago
There’s so much code marked “unsafe” in there…
