Also, why didn't any animal evolve a way to avoid sleep completely?
dystroy · a year ago
We don't know exactly why nature can't do otherwise, but any complex brain has to sleep.

Some animals, mainly sharks which can't stop or they would be asphyxied, deal with that by having kind of 2 brains which are never both sleeping at the same time.

When I read "tensegrity" I thought of these strange tables/scupltures you can buy:

If you look at the article, you'll see the picture of such sculpture (a rather impressive one, by the way).

Why alphabetical and not topological?
dystroy · a year ago
Imagine you have a big enum in Rust, for example an Error, with a dozen or more variants.

When maintaining related code, for example a Display implementation, or routing to some behaviors, it's sometimes much easier when it's alpha sorted: you immediately see what's implemented or not.

That's when you can hit the codesort shortcut to have this specific list (enum variants, match arms, etc.) sorted.

I wrote a master’s thesis on Montaigne (specifically on a publishing system for his Essais) and I think it’s a decently topical name. The Essais really were more like blog posts than like what we now call an essay.

Is your master thesis online ? A link would be welcome (whatever the language).

Montaigne is at least the third French writer to be featured as a (good) static site generator, after Hugo and Zola.

Dude, please, just create a fork & explain the name. ohjoy sounds perfect and the meaning is brilliant. This must be it.

This might even look like enough a reason to spend the rest of their life maintaining it.
