I feel like YouTube one can lead into another. Because it’s hard to get people to follow you in GitHub. But having another platform where you can advertise your programs means a lot. Even if you write something useful people are not going to discover you without something else doing the outreach.

I use emacs, and it can change font size and font face similar to the font color during syntax highlights. Like in markdown or LaTeX headings are larger font, math formula have their system where superscript and subscript have higher/lower baseline. In org mode it can even convert the whole latex snippet into formula and display as image, or show inline images. And in rust it has type hints and other information overlayed along side the code you wrote, it even adds little buttons on tests you can click to run them.

So I think what you want can probably be made easily if you have a solid grasp of what you want. Emacs is basically extensible using a programming language (elisp) so technically there’s nothing you can’t do logic wise, there might be some limitations on displaying things though.

So IDE with syntax highlights? Those blocks things are also pretty much shown in most IDE, what do you use to code?

I even have prettifying turned on so the keywords like in, lambda, etc are prettified.

I thought the gov wrote this, just a joke huh

Yup. I made a scientific analysis program. Using CLI and your own editors you can do so much. And instead of focusing on making the algorithms, I had to focus on making a GUI for months because people need things to click.

And then even with very responsive and easy GUI, with like just 5 types of “views” and probably like <5 buttons/inputs each, people are like “it seems complicated” within like 1 minutes of demo. They haven’t even tried to use it or tried to learn anything. I even modeled the views to be as similar to another software they use.

I feel like people just don’t like computers.

IIRC Same compiler version doesn’t mean the ABI will be the same. Each compilation may produce different representation of data structures in the binary. Depending on the optimization and other things.

Perfect, it looks like the thing I want. Hopefully it can do multiple devices in different networks. I’ll test it out when I can.

Thank you :)

I’d like a local filesharing option. Where a single folder would be synced in my phone from home computer when I’m at home, and from work computer and phone when I’m at work. Without using cloud sync between them only when I’m physically traveling between them, that’s good enough for most use cases of cloud sync that I want for work.

Sometimes you get into skill issue, or time issues. I make some softwares that I need, but I don’t have advertising skills to make people use it.

And sometimes I want to make something, but I don’t have the necessary skills.

For example I’d like a local filesharing option. Where a single folder would be synced in my phone from home computer when I’m at home, and from work computer and phone when I’m at work. Without using cloud sync between them only when I’m physically traveling between them, that’s good enough for most use cases of cloud sync that I want for work.

Thank you. I have a family to worry about so can’t survive on ramen alone… But I’ll look for other countries postdoc and such. I’m a bit scared of moving somewhere I don’t know the local language now because of how things are going in the US, if something like this happens and I can’t understand their language I’d not even know the dangers.

Where are you going? I’m currently on last yr of PhD and thinking of leaving, but I don’t know if I should abandon the PhD to leave or not. I’d like to finish it, at least do it remotely, but chances of finding work immediately after PhD are slim.

I support this if it applies to everyone, not just AI. We should be able to use everything that we see as well

A simple analogy is, would you rather have keyboard with a-z and symbols you can use to build words/sentences, or would you want a wordlist you can scroll and click, while expanding words in groups, and having to find non-frequent words with a lot of difficulty to make up sentences.

Command line use is harder if you come from gui. But the main use case of command line are:

• automation: anything you can do in a command line, can be copied in a script,
• uniformity: every software now has almost the same format of use,
• flexibility: gui almost always has less options than command line, and many times options are hidden within a lot of tabs and options.
• Auto complete: whenever someone complains about terminal being hard to use and spelling mistakes I think about this. I think many people that come from GUI don’t know about auto-completion on terminal. It’s easy to see which options are available, easy to choose files, wildcards for multiple files, and all that
• piping: command line allows you to chain one command with another. You have a command to list all your music files, chain that with a search command to search files within them. Now if you need to search in a python code, you use the same search command, just different command to read the file. You basically have lego blocks (old ones) that can be used to make anything.

I can understand people being afraid of command line when they start, but I think many people come with biases and don’t use good terminal and other tools to make things easier.

Thank you.

I did consider Julia in the beginning, but I’m using rust so I can make a python library available for people. And also because I can easily transfer other programs I have, and some other libraries in C into rust easily. My project is mostly about connecting the existing tools the grant agency has plus tools scientific communities use.

What do you mean by official language communities? I don’t know what is rust official community. I am in rust discord but I have never gotten any response on any questions I ask about non trivial things there. I need people knowledgeable about macro, stable abi, and other features.

I’m not from CS related field. Me and my advisor don’t know professors in CS fields, and my university doesn’t have CS grad programs when I looked around. And I need an external professor anyway. My friends that are in CS grad school all do AI/ML related research.

\1 is group 1 which is inside (), so second part is repeated 2 or more times of 2 or more char.

You forgot empty line. Since first part is ^.?$ it’s one or zero of any character.

Sorry, I forgot about this. I meant to say any sane modern language that allows unicode should use the block specifications (for e.g. to determine the alphabets, numeric, symbols, alphanumeric unicodes, etc) for similar rules with ASCII. So that they don’t have to individually support each language.

I thought the most mode sane and modern language use the unicode block identification to determine something can be used in valid identifier or not. Like all the ‘numeric’ unicode characters can’t be at the beginning of identifier similar to how it can’t have ‘3var’.

So once your programming language supports unicode, it automatically will support any unicode language that has those particular blocks.

Yeah but those are arguments to cd, the error says command not found

Edit: Sorry didn’t see /S
