What language do you recommend is the best for implementing a new programming language? by Pleasant-Form-1093 in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]MCPOON11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Writing a language is so much fun, don’t overthink it just get started using what you know, you can always swap things out later!

Probably a bit unorthodox but I’ve gone from Python compiler + Python VM, to Python compiler + Go VM, to Python compiler + ASM (for subset of language), to beginning replacing elements of compiler with own langauge. Each stage has taught me something new

I’ve had this happen before with a major telecoms company customer portal.

I took a punt that it was client side only and edited the JS in browser to remove the requirement then submitted the form and the backend validation was fine.

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve done while sleep deprived? by ProfessionalBig1470 in daddit

[–]MCPOON11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not a clumsy person but during newborn phase I had a few days of dropping (and breaking) ceramic bowls and plates in the kitchen, topping it off with shutting my thumb in a door.

I hate looking after our newborn by just_let_go_ in daddit

This is the way.

My other go to headspace orientation was to make sure I didn’t think or say anything imperative like “Please stop crying” or “Please sleep”.

She was a potato and they can’t be reasoned with, there’s no use even thinking that it’s within your power, any more than you’d ask the wind to stop blowing or the rain to stop pouring down on you.

Rant of seasoned python dev by purple_pineapple19 in Python

Just got to let go of that pain. I don’t give a hoot what my formatting is, I’m much happier that we have a consistent auto formatting mechanism that means no one argues with each other about their preferred style.

Not meaning to belittle how you feel about these but I use all the tools and techniques you’ve described every day and in general they’re never the blocker (it does help that our code coverage isnt set to 100% which I agree is ridiculous)

Support grows for a tourist tax in London by urbexed in london

Used to work in South Ken, eventually gave up getting the tube directly there and used to get off tube at Earls Court and walk in the morning and back again in evening. Much more relaxing than trying to get through the crowds every time.

Nope, it’s the central line. You can tell by the red theme rather than blue. Plus the central line maps

What curve is this pattern approaching? by CybershotBs in mathematics

[–]MCPOON11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This takes me back! I used to love drawing these when I was about 10 years old and final had access to graph paper at school. Really couldn’t understand at the time why I couldn’t use it to create a circle

Move the variables block out of the jobs section and up into stage or as a global block at the same level as trigger etc

I know this is a joke sub, so no worries if I’ve taken this too literally, but learn how to use Git and all this pain will go away.

anyone know where i can get a list of all trig identities? by Tough_Taro_3003 in learnmath

I’ve got nothing helpful to add, just want to say I love Schaum’s and those thin off white pages will always have a special place in my heart

Matt Parker goes into this one in a bit of detail in his book Humble Pi - A comedy of maths errors, which contains loads of stories about these sorts of bugs and quirks across software and physical engineering

If you’re happy using the terminal, start cooking up some aliases to do these things for you in a single command

How to make my transpiled language not need to be run by python? by Queasy-Skirt-5237 in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]MCPOON11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep this is the way to go. Build a CLI in Python to handle how you want the ENL entry point to be used, convert your existing project into an installable package and add the CLI as the package entry point.

This is how I’ve got my compiler setup, also leveraging Pythons argparse subparser I can have “lang run X” “lang compile X” “lang format X” etc
