So...like an old fashioned camera iris?

All the others are not very butthole-ish, though.

There are definitely more experienced programmers using it. I can't find the post at the moment, but there was a recent-ish blog post citing a bunch of examples. [edit: found it: https://registerspill.thorstenball.com/p/they-all-use-it ]

Personally, I don't use AI much, but I do occasionally experiment with it (for instance, I recently gave Claude Sonnet the same live-coding interview I give candidates for my team; it...did worse than I expected, tbh). The experimenting is sufficient for me to recognize these phrases.

It's not in C, if that's what you mean.

It's a "stream manipulator" function that not only generates a new line, it also flushes the stream.

None of the features discussed are aesthetic only.

Nope. It links to an explanation of what that poster is:

This is the UNIX Magic Poster, originally created by Gary Overacre in the mid-1980s and published by UniTech Software.

I feel like we're talking past each other. My impression was that 30% towards your living situation is a pretty decent target; what would you expect the percentage to be?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Okay, what I meant was, is rent taking 30% really indicative of a low standard of living?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

Rent eating 30-40% of your income is extremely normal, isn't it? Or is that only true in the US (where it has recently become much more than that for many people)?

Lots of acronyms no longer stand for anything due to losing their original associations. LLVM, AT&T, SAT (the test, not the programming problem), etc.

Probably moreso for expressing the opinion so strongly without actually knowing any of the three languages.

Edit: I'm just guessing why a different comment got downvotes. Why am I getting downvotes?

Almost five years ago, Saoirse "boats" wrote "Notes on a smaller Rust", and a year after that, revisited the idea.

The basic idea is a language that is highly inspired by Rust but doesn't have the strict constraint of being a "systems" language in the vein of C and C++; in particular, it can have a nontrivial (or "thick") runtime and doesn't need to limit itself to "zero-cost" abstractions.

What languages are being designed that fit this description? I've seen a few scripting languages written in Rust on GitHub, but none of them have been very active. I also recently learned about Hylo, which does have some ideas that I think are promising, but it seems too syntactically alien to really be a "smaller Rust."

Edit to add: I think Graydon Hoare's post about language design choices he would have preferred for Rust also sheds some light on the kind of things a hypothetical "Rust-like but not Rust" language could do differently: https://graydon2.dreamwidth.org/307291.html
