@Jonathan_Blow Peel to go down the stack (gdb's up) and unpeel to go back up

So, gdb has the “up” command, which means “go up the stack”, by which they mean further away from the top of the stack, i.e. down. If I wanted to fix this and remove confusion by using different nomenclature, what should that be?

@Jonathan_Blow Turing goes with "bury" and "unbury" here en.wikisource.org/wiki/Proposed_…

@SimonHarrisCo I periodically turn the same inlay type hints on for TypeScript, then 5 minutes later inevitably turn them off because they're so noisy and interfere with typing. Ctrl + alt can temporarily display them, but on my machine, that switches focus from the text pane to the file menu!

@SimonHarrisCo If they're both Some you get Some, otherwise there's nothing there but None!

@ID_AA_Carmack As @sandimetz says, "prefer duplication over the wrong abstraction". sandimetz.com/blog/2016/1/20… Building up abstractions from smaller ones can reduce the cost of "unfactoring" two coincidentally similar things that have been accidentally combined!

Everyone knows that when you have similar code repeated several times that you should consolidate into a loop or function, but changing discrete variables into arrays and adding loops can have a small readability cost, so sometimes it can feel like a debatable choice for something small just repeated two or three times. Usually, optimizing for readability is positive, but a requirement to keep two separate things aligned through future changes is an “invisible constraint” that is quite likely to cause problems eventually. Many years ago, I would casually copy-paste-paste-paste-modify 4D vector statements, but now I almost never even do two related statements like that. The hazard is when you combine two things that are close, but not exactly the same, and the strain induces complexity.

@SofaRacing @kat_hipkiss I'll bring all my amiibos

@williamheslam @kat_hipkiss Can we go mountain biking together soon?

A pretty cool feature was released in TypeScript 4.4.2 today. You might not even notice it working its magic behind the scenes, but it'll help your code look a bit more natural and descriptive. Here's my write up if you want to know more: dev.to/willheslam/con… #typescript

There's an interesting new feature coming in TypeScript 4.4: control flow analysis of aliased conditional expressions! I've written up an explanation of some of the benefits and limitations: dev.to/willheslam/con…

Not doing well on the weekly #NuclearThrone #NintendoSwitch

For a few moments of my birthday, I am the best Nuclear Throne player in the world! #nuclearthrone #NintendoSwitch

@kat_hipkiss @the8bitbigband This was great fun! Very excited for the new album @CRosenMusic is working on... fingers crossed it'll include a rendition of one of my favourites, Sim Broadway youtube.com/watch?v=w4brmV… !😛🤞

Mutation is metaprogramming with line numbers

This took 10 takes to get right... Happy New Year! #AnimalCrossing #ACNH #NintendoSwitch

Thanks for having me! Hopefully now everyone can use the S combinator to great effect in their daily lives :)

It could happen to anyone!
