It’s worth noting that this is a compiler for the Tiny-C language, and not as one might think a tiny compiler for the C language.

I find it revealing that while somebody with experience in songwriting finds the result dull and mediocre, I who knows next to nothing in the domain finds its nice and totally fine.

Same goes for other domains: philosophy, coding, writing, ...

It's telling me that this AI can generate content in many domains way better than an untrained human would with minimal efforts, while not (yet?) reaching the level of experts in the domain.

It empowers all the non-experts in these many domains to touch things they never could have before. This is an amazing tool.

This is not claimed by the article afaict. It's stated though that json spec/syntax is simple, and that it's simple as a language; my interpretation is that this means "simple/understandable/predictable for humans".

Funny that the story is told by Sherlock and not Watson, that's not idiomatic of the series afaict.

Writing Usable Code

netgusto — Tue, 26 Apr 2022 09:12:48 +0000

Hey HN! While working at my previous company, I wrote this blog post that sums up some of the topics that were most appreciated by my mentees.

It's about structuring code in a way that helps you keep it sane in the long run. At the time I applied it with Go, but parts of it can be applied to many other imperative programming languages.

Wow such a coincidence! I recently toyed on such a spec for my shell prompt task manager https://github.com/netgusto/tax (I display it in my prompt and my tmux session bar, it's nice to keep current work in focus)

I'm certainly going to look into implementing the spec.

Some questions/suggestions:

    * do you plan support for text unrelated to tasks ?
    * do you plan support for sections / nested sections?
    * idea suggestion: in tax (linked above) we use markdown bold to notify "focused" tasks and sections, ie the one(s) that should be front and center; ex:
        - [ ] **This is a focused task**

The durations are expressed in ‘ship time’, ie the perceived duration from the pov of the ship. This is explicited further in the document.
