like GtkBuilder which takes in descriptions of user interfaces in the form of XML files? i mean it does leave a lot to be desired when compared to html

<interface>
<object class="GtkDialog" id="dialog1">
<child internal-child="content_area">
<object class="GtkBox">
<child internal-child="action_area">
<object class="GtkBox">
<child>
<object class="GtkButton" id="ok_button">
<property name="label" translatable="yes">_Ok</property>
<property name="use-underline">True</property>
<signal name="clicked" handler="ok_button_clicked"/>
</object>
</child>
</object>

holy shit this is so interesting

Overview

River is a non-monolithic Wayland compositor. Unlike other Wayland compositors, river does not combine the compositor and window manager into one program. Instead, users can choose any window manager implementing the river-window-management-v1 protocol.

you have integrity i think

Integrity and Justice have many things in common: both have a strong moral compass, both are hard to sway, and both concern themselves with building a framework of rules.

The main difference is who these rules are pointed at: Integrity will use them for itself with little concern for others, while Justice holds everyone to those same standards.'

oh my god i NEED this book. i NEED this book so bad

To Mock a Mockingbird and Other Logic Puzzles: Including an Amazing Adventure in Combinatory Logic (1985, ISBN 0-19-280142-2) is a book by the mathematician and logician Raymond Smullyan. It contains many nontrivial recreational puzzles of the sort for which Smullyan is well known. It is also a gentle and humorous introduction to combinatory logic and the associated metamathematics, built on an elaborate ornithological metaphor.

i wrote a sizeable chunk of text but i guess it can't detect my pakistani roots. (in it's response it also stated that they were weak signals pointing to Indian English which i guess is pretty close all things considered)

My actual guess: native English speaker, writing casually/unedited, not a non-native writer. Confidence: low — this kind of judgment from a short excerpt is closer to a coin flip than a reliable inference.

i was confused on whether or not to increment current before or after accessing the character (it was after i thought it was before)

; what i thought the code was
(defun advance (scanner)
(with-slots (current source) scanner
(incf current)
(elt source current)))
; what it actually was
(defun advance (scanner)
(with-slots (current source) scanner
(incf current)
(elt source (1- current))))

i found the bug, and honestly i blame nystrom for this because this is the most ambiguous way of writing this function what the hell

private char advance() {
return source.charAt(current++);
}

! new piece of context

"Two days after the conference, Andrew Kelley opened an issue on the Zig repo to add support for a Fil-C inspired compilation mode. Andrew was right there in the audience during Fil's (incredible) talk on Fil-C. It's easy to think abstractly that organizing a conference will "promote innovation" or something, but wow; to think that SSW might play a tiny role in such an epic feature being added to a major programming language?!"

i found an efficient algorithm but it's imperative 💔

(defun day3-get-maximum-joltage (line number)
(let ((to-remove (- (length line) number))
(stack (make-array number :initial-element 0 :fill-pointer 0 :adjustable t)))
(loop for char across line
for digit = (digit-char-p char)
do (progn
(loop while (and (> to-remove 0) (> (length stack) 0) (> digit (aref stack (1- (length stack)))))
do (progn
(decf to-remove)
(vector-pop stack)))
(vector-push-extend digit stack)))
(loop for i from 0 to (- (length stack) to-remove 1)
sum (* (expt 10 (- number i 1)) (aref stack i)))))

there is a imperative function hiding in here

(defun day2-is-invalid-part1 (id)
(let* ((string-repr (format nil "~D" id))
(len (length string-repr))
(half-length (/ len 2)))
(if (not (evenp len))
nil
(string-equal (subseq string-repr 0 half-length)
(subseq string-repr half-length)))))

who says lisp code is unreadable
