It's interesting how some features, such as green grass, a blue sky, clouds, and the sun, are ubiquitous among all of these models' responses.

It's weird that the "airplane mode" seems to be ON on the phone during the entire presentation.

Re:Paredit 25 released (after 8 years) on Saturday November 26, 2022 @09:11PM (#33759369)
Yeah... a couple GIFs would.

If I was them I would've just embedded this video from "Emacs Rocks!":

It shows how incredible paredit is.

I like Perl's Data::ParseBinary (https://metacpan.org/pod/Data::ParseBinary)

    my $s = Struct("foo",
        UBInt8("a"),
        UBInt16("b"),
        Struct("bar",
            UBInt8("a"),
            UBInt16("b"),
        )
    );
    my $data = $s->parse("ABBabb");
    # $data is { a => 65, b => 16962, bar => { a => 97, b => 25186 } }

By saying that they can scan buried ancient sites it resonates to the "enemy" that they can see everything it is trying to hide.

What, at a first glance, may sound like celebrating science is just warfare.

Yeah. That’s pure Dog-whistle politics.
Yeah.. that got me thinking too. I would not have called it "new".

As of version 5.10, Perl regex engine implements a complete recursive-descent parsing. Allowing things like Regexp::Grammars[0] to exist. Perl also has a nice PEG parser framework called Pegex[1]

Shit.. that's almost exactly how I've been doing since I was a kid. The difference is that I do the other way around, starting from my feet.
Re:The Problem with the iPhone's Home Button on Friday July 15, 2011 @01:10AM (#2766349)
Is this guy nuts? I'm on iOS 4.3 and I only need to hit the home button twice in a row to get from Safari to the home screen. One hit to send Safari background, and another hit to scroll from the current screen to home screen.
