This is probably a reference to (canonical?) Rewriting gnu coreutils in rust and changing the license from GPL to MIT

yes exactly, that’s why I felt I had to take the time to fix it.
This is similar to my experience. I have never used agents, but I have worked on projects with people who have. They could create PRs in a few hours that would take me half a week to fix.
The agent would do things like create a new type definition in the same file as the function that used it. Except we already had a type definition in the types file so that it could be imported into different parts of the code.
I try to employ “DRY” practices where applicable because it improves the readability, maintainability and extensibility of the code. A random word generator will never be able to understand things like the structure and architecture of the project, nor the project requirements, so it is liable to always increase technical debt.

Programming@programming.dev•So you want to open a window on Wayland? (getting started with Wayland)

Yes that’s a very good point. I played with python’s CSV module recently to make some graphs with numpy and it seems pretty good. I’ll check out visidata - at the moment I’m experimenting with the idea that there is always a better option than using excel style spreadsheets. I’m seeing how much I can achieve while never opening excel/calc/gnumeric

Very cool thanks for sharing. I don’t have a CSV viewer app in “Open with…” context menu because I don’t have a file manager…
Last time I had to deal with a large CSV file I think I just used some combination of
sort,wc,cutandgrep. Or I import it to python and use numpy

Privacy@programming.dev•"We Could Get Sued for This" - GamersNexus goes deep with the privacy violations and overreach of modern consumer electronics, including Smart TVs, other devices, and how they record your voice.

Also projectors don’t tend to have smart features.

0·3 months agoThis is very cool. I just started architecting something very similar to reitti but it seems to already cover all the use cases I could think of - let me know if you need any additional help!
Install git. Then type
git clone <url>For example to download miniaudio you would type
git clone https://github.com/mackron/miniaudio.gitAnd it downloads all the code for you. There’s a button on github that says “code” if you click it you can copy the URL for cloning.
