Read the research this video is based on about the "widening gap" here: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3632620.3671116

For a second I thought the syntax was Koka, which is also a language with effects. But it's not, there are some syntax differences later in the post.

If you literally can't quit your job, that's called slavery, you realize that?

Cool that they list the definitions of the words afterwards. This makes it even more fun for non-native speakers, as it adds a free learning aspect to it.

It's not good practice to use acronyms without introducing them. From the title alone it's unclear what this is about, from the text it still had me guessing for a while.

I was hesitant to post my comment. It's the first time I've complained about this on HN I think. And it's not only about the flow of the words at all, it's more about reading something that no one wrote. Especially if it's about a project that seems interesting, having AI written text tells me it's maybe not the passion project I otherwise would think it was.

Most articles I click on in the HN homepage turn out to be written by AI, judging from the phrasing. I'm weirded out by the fact that people don't seem to find it important to write their own thoughts down. The writing in TFA is clearly supervised by a human, but still, the wording is not human at all.

Maybe expand ML to Machine Learning to avoid confusing with the programming language

Have you tried that, or is it just a random thought?

Tangentially related, this post git me reading about the spectre language. In the spectre docs you write: "There is a notable lack of contract based programming languages that enforce correctness at a low level.". What is the difference between a function checking arguments and throwing exceptions and contract-based functions, apart from perhaps a more concise syntax to specify it?

While the message is valid, it's ironic that this was clearly written by AI.

Worth noting: the plugin system is steadily approaching maturity and will probably be integrated and released soonish™ https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/pull/8675

"Just" is exactly made for this, and it is amazing. You write a justfile that is somewhat similar to a makefile but without the painpoints and it provides a CLI interface of commands you want to run

This has not been true for at least a decade for dutch buildings: there are strict regulations requiring decent insulation for new buildings. Renovating and insulating old buildings is also encouraged, but not required by law.

I agree to some extent, but in my experience it differs a lot between kids how doable having a conversation is

I made something similar once, specifically targetted for guitar tablature https://tabviewer.app/ To make links shorter for sharing with others, I use a shortlink service. Pasting URLs of thousands of characters long can be problematic
