abzug··on Why GNU grep is fast (2010)
My hunch is consult-ripgrep or counsel-rg.
abzug··on Beginner's Series to Rust
Loved the little spectrogram at the bottom. Such a nice touch.

abzug··on W3M Rocks
You can also have WebKit embedded in Emacs.
abzug··on What’s new in Emacs 28.1?
Honest question from someone who never used any product from JetBrains: what those IDEs gives you in order to learn/debug a new codebase in such easy way?
abzug··on Tell HN: You are not alone this Christmas
Thank you for the kind words, a lot resonated with me.
abzug··on Tell HN: You are not alone this Christmas
Attorney but I read a ton of programming-related stuff, know how to use the command-line and used Emacs for a bunch of stuff. It's my shell, rolodex, text editor, calendar, file manager and, being Emacs there's a lot of little functions and stuff that I've built for myself and/or to make things easy.

Thanks, I have plans to exercise coming 2022.
abzug··on Tell HN: You are not alone this Christmas
Thank you so much for this. I'm already doing some (2, 4, 5) others are planned for 2022 (1, 3, 6). But 7 is brutal. I was going to propose but things changed.

Anyway, again: thank you very much. This is very appreciated. Very kind of you.

abzug··on Tell HN: You are not alone this Christmas
No need to apologize.

Thanks for the help and kind words.

abzug··on Tell HN: You are not alone this Christmas
Thanks, I'm 36 by the way.
abzug··on Tell HN: You are not alone this Christmas
I just want to do something to move on.

From what I gathered, it's a book geared towards programmers new to C++.
abzug··on Tell HN: You are not alone this Christmas
If you're nobody, you can be anything you want to.

Not german, just love the Kraftwerk song.
abzug··on Tell HN: You are not alone this Christmas
Thanks for the pointers.
abzug··on Tell HN: You are not alone this Christmas
It's just something that I enjoy and I can finally try to be good at and who knows, get a job doing it.

I already use Emacs for everything since 2003, so...

Doesn't linear algebra requires a lot of background/intuition? I have none.
abzug··on Tell HN: You are not alone this Christmas
Thanks.

Since I'm focusing on the job market, I'm collecting resources to learn C++. From what I gathered the best beginner book is Bjarne Stroustrup's Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++, which I think it'll be good since it's a programming book that uses C++ and not a book solely about C++.

But I'm open to any advice.

abzug··on Tell HN: You are not alone this Christmas
I'll be lying if I tell that I'm good.

In 2022 I'll study to become a programmer.

Focus on algorithms, data structures, and try to learn math (I'm very math illiterate, I don't know anything beyond basic arithmetic).

So at least by this time next year I'll have more knowledge.

abzug··on Tell HN: You are not alone this Christmas
Thank you for this gesture. I lost almost everything. Job, 7-year relationship, my mental health.

Feeling that I'm not only alone but inadequate to have a life like anybody else.

I'm still alive, so there's that.

abzug··on Nim Community Survey
I want it too but Nim is 13 years old so not a young language. Compare it to Zig, which is 5 years old and I don't see it coming anywhere outside its niche.
abzug··on A quantum walk down Wall Street
Do you have a link to this podcast? Or just the name.
abzug··on Stop Making Students Use Eclipse (2020)
Item 1 already exists: https://composingprograms.com/
abzug··on Thank you, GitHub
There's plenty of time for this to happen...
abzug··on Thank you, GitHub
I read as dumb. It doesn't give any value to the piece, very akin to virtue signaling.
abzug··on Ask HN: Best Alternative to Homebrew in 2021?
I just said what's on the "Installing MacPorts" section of the site: https://www.macports.org/install.php

> 1. Install Xcode and the Xcode Command Line Tools

abzug··on Ask HN: Best Alternative to Homebrew in 2021?
And the fact that it "needs" Xcode installed.
abzug··on APL in its modern state (2020)
Can you explain/expand on this?
