He's so charming:

AFAIK that setting is opt-in, at least in Bash.

Yeah but some operating systems have HISTIGNORE in (or sourced from) their skeleton files.

We have to settle for the smiley face changing slightly.

It's got to be somewhat depressing working on a household name product in its trashy downturn. Surely you can't have the pride in your work that an equivalent employee once would have.

I wonder about the timing in relation to the OpenAI acquisition of Astral this week. Was it a two-horse race to be acquired and then Deno got word that they were not the chosen one, and so said oh well, mass layoff it is?

BTW the Deno architects would contend that "mastering Deno" could never be a waste of time, because what you're mastering is to a large extent standards-based JS (in comparison to the APIs that came before).

Yeah, that's pretty much tailor-made to be the official resource for an experienced programmer to get an overview of C++ as it stands. Fairly slim book so it's approachable.

It's abject hackery because such "comment" directives don't even necessarily have to be a comment to be active:

    const x = `This whole thing is
    a
    //go:generate worse-is-better
    multiline
    string literal`

A lot of people in this discussion are beating up Go for using syntactical comments for directives, but in reality the implementation is even less principled than that!

You really gotta wonder how much value the "Digg" brand actually has, because the number of people that remember/care about the site from its original glory days is ever dwindling.

They’re only in their 40s and 50s. Not quite dead yet. :)

Hey some of us are in our late thirties! :)

But is there still any credit to mine there?

See also all the programmer blogs that feel the need to use a monospaced font for prose, to signal that they're a programmer.

Safari's devtools has a visual <canvas> debugger. I remember using it, seeing all the CanvasRenderingContext2D calls that affected the canvas listed, and scrubbing left and right through time to see how a frame was built up.

Thanks for the heads up, at least that is something.
