Re:Python string literals are kinda funny
on Saturday August 08, 2026 @03:37PM (#49225133)
I'm not a fan of f-strings.
I feel like 90% of new Python features in the last 10 years just increased language complexity without any benefit.

I don't think it was written by AI but rather edited with help of AI.
There are just a few obvious AI lines in the text.
Not great, not terrible but it immediately caught my eye.

Re:What Are Skiplists Good For?
on Sunday April 19, 2026 @05:37AM (#47823024)
It seems like Qt went from red-black tree to skip list in Qt4 and back to red-black tree in Qt5.
Should be:
ul.threadlist li.origin a {
display: block;
background: rgb(205, 216, 216);
font-weight: normal;
padding: 1px 6px;
margin: 1px -6px;
}

I'm using this[1] and I love it. Adding 1 column of spacing between two hands is real game changer. I've tried Colemak and Workman before but I found qwerty-wide to be more comfortable than both of them. It's also much easier to learn, especially if you're Vim user.
