I like the native feel of Ghostty on macOS! Something I missed from iTerm2.

Upgraded to a MacBook Pro 14β with M4 pro. Time to try new things! For starters, I installed kitty instead of iTerm2 this time. Will try Ghostty once itβs in open beta.
Hi Dash!

How is crypto scam still a thing? Have people not been bitten enough by now?
I hit a similar issue but with nullable types, what if you specify the type params for the constructor?
Yes. In Persian, thatβs the question mark: Ψ

Decided to go with Odin for this yearβs advent of code. Might switch it around for other days, or not! Will share my solutions here:

Welcome!
I actually donβt mind plpgsql!
What language should I use for Advent of Code this year?
On-device is good for the speed more than anything. Not requiring internet is a bonus.
You would need a way to represent things anyways, be it a custom json with a specific format that you use to show visual elements or a full-fledged language.
Existing languages are not ideal to be reviewed on a phone screen either. I think a complete solution looks something like a custom app, a custom language, and an on-device LLM. The ability to export your programs to existing systems like iOS shortcuts.
Agreed. Answered in the other thread. Visual blocks once you type can improve the experience here.
LLMs are not there to fully rely on them. Could be a great input mode.
There are other ideas: using reactive programming paradigms like a spreadsheet so the user sees the results immediately, β¦
Yeah as I said this is a low hanging fruit. Another thing is editing, UI can help with that, for example if we create a visual block that is easily editable instead of moving the cursor on actual characters. Repls would be better on a phone, something like python notebooks.
Of course I donβt mean brainfuck lol. A low hanging fruit is to use words instead of symbols. E.g. which one is easier to type on a phone between these two?
for (let i in 1..=10) { print(i); }
for i in 1 to 10 do print i done
The fewer symbols you use, the fewer keys you need to show in the keyboard which is critical in a the small screen of a phone. UI is really important too.
Wouldnβt be productive though. I want something like iOSβs shortcuts + repl.
Why isnβt there programming language that is specifically designed to be typed on a phone?
Just finished my first ever chess tournament in Paris. It was really fun. Scored 3/9 which isnβt too shabby given the really strong players.
Took the opportunity to snap a photo with the legendary MVL and Jules Moussard!
Staff engineer: who in their right mind would design the cup this way smh
There is nothing worse than hearing someone defending your position but for all the wrong reasons π€¦
We both joined mastodon 2 years ago but it was *cricket noises* there and I think he stopped cross-posting. Here feels more permanent so farβ¦
