@neogoose_btw It's there, it's just not the first result. Results from the out/ dir ranked higher for some reason.

Yours didn't search the out/ dir at all, so it's not quite an apples-to-apples comparison.

@KattyTheEnby @i2cjak Compass direction represents which corner the triangle is on, relative to the center.

East = right corner
North = opposite corner
West = left corner
South = center

1 dir for each of the 3 adjacent faces with triangles.

@ericzakariasson We need a new term for this: tokenbait

Programming language design probably matters more for agents than humans. I bet the weights are diluted when a language accumulates multiple paradigms over time. Humans usually learn one pattern and stick with it, whereas AI learns all the patterns and therefore none optimally.

What if node errors looked like this

Not like this

@huang_chao4969 How does this interact with Claude Code's Tool Search tool?

I couldn't find a data flow tool like IntelliJ's for VS Code, so I'm building one!

It's tiresome to trace values through function calls and it's hard to keep track of branching flows in your head.

With the flow in an expandable tree view, you can hop around faster and easier.

[IntelliJ IDEA, a JetBrains IDE @intellijidea]

➡️Data Flow Analysis is a powerful tool that shows you how data moves through your code. ⬇️Use Code > Analyze Code > Data Flow to Here or Code > Analyze Code > Data Flow from Here to analyze upstream or downstream data flow. ⬆️ #IntelliJIDEATips

@slimsag I see, I wonder why the "errors" package omits stack traces (maybe perf)

[Chris Wendt @ChrisMWendt]

@slimsag debug.Stack() does that:

@slimsag The eris Go package captures stack traces

@teej_dv The main error is that Extensions are not strictly speaking part of the VS Code editor — whose framework is Electron. It is OK to call it “VS Code”when you want to be really short, but it is better to call it “VS Code + Extensions” so as to give Host some credit.

New Wingmate feature: explaining unfamiliar code in the hover tooltip

It's good at explaining printf formatting directives like here in the SQLite source

@graninas I extend the criticism even to IO in https://t.co/fbAh7LSs2e

@ericfritz This is all of them. If you disagree you'll have to contest with GHC.

@bytebytego The "Order view" part is called a "materialized view".

"materialized" means it's a real concrete table with indexes (as opposed to being computed at query time like normal views)
