Assuming that it’s just that person, that it’s their actual name and that they’re in the US…

That was fast.

ANTLR is for writing parsers. You don’t need a new custom parser, just use an existing XML parser.

There are IDE extensions that show the diff of the entire PR locally without having to squash anything. So yes, it’s weird to reinvent a square wheel.

I am currently writing a C compiler, with my own backend (and hopefully, frontend) in OCaml.

But why write your own C frontend? It’s much more of a pain than people imagine. I maintain a C frontend implemented in OCaml (the project itself goes back 25 years) and it’s still not on par with GCC or Clang.

For any other language, sure, but C has so many “wonderful” features, starting with the lexer hack. Your grammar conveniently overlooks this issue but it’s something you’ll have to deal with to actually implement it. So it simply won’t be as nice as theory suggests.

Yes, but with things like syscalls it’s easier to do this than require every high-level thing building on the syscall to be modified and recompiled. Very few people need to use such low-level APIs.

Visit takeout.google.com and select Google Podcasts to export your Google Podcasts data in OPML format.

I wonder when that became a thing. I migrated at the beginning of the year and had to manually add all subscriptions because Google Podcasts had no way of exporting anything.

I guess someone made a GDPR complaint.

Turns out Lemmy isn’t better at understanding sarcasm than Reddit lol.

Because Rust is better, hurr-durr.

Clearly not enough active ones for each and every project out there.

Most translations are contributed by external users for languages that the project developers don’t speak themselves, so they can’t always check everything unless there’s multiple active translators for one language.

That wasn’t my statement… Stop intentionally misinterpreting what people say!

They told you to go to the city centre, not the refugee camp…

Releasing a patch doesn’t make the CVE disappear.

Did they jump after it to scan the barcode for a tracking update or what?

Private browsing still shows suggestions from your normal history…

The only porn you avoid is the porn you view while screen sharing from showing up in your history.

How does that small flat package contain a push-up bra?

Sequential downloads are bad for torrents.

A lot of places call customers from some completely random numbers, not the official one. Very annoying.
