don't we all tolerate intolerance on some level/topics?

it seems to be perfectly acceptable to be intolerant to some groups of people and religions/ideologies.



should I expect that in the near future, thinking and making decisions will be a significant risk. before doing something that could be an equity offense, I should look up the corresponding equity guidelines and follow those.


Faith Goldy is not a white nationalist


Faith Goldy literally said the 14 words and claimed they weren't controversial in a recording.

If we aren't putting her in the white nationalist classification I'm not sure who does end up there.


would recommend looking into writing a grammar, have that generate your AST, then do some transformations on the AST to generate code. you will save a lot of time.

I recently did that for a language that i made, via instaparse. the flexibility and speed i gained was very big. my language isn't Turing complete, but it has functions, lookup tables, and some pattern matching.


> would recommend looking into writing a grammar, have that generate your AST, then do some transformations on the AST to generate code. you will save a lot of time.

I had this thought, so I used a parser combinator (mpc) to generate the AST from the grammar and source file, then extract useful elements from the AST for codegen.


With mpc you can support macros, adding better macro definitions at compile-time, not just primitive cpp-style replacements. This would be definitely a game changer.


Will definitely follow up on this. Maybe we could support DSLs while at it?


Yes, a bit like perl6 grammars. Just performant.


And immutable? Aka, you could not create a DSL that would allow you to create other DSL inside of it?


battery life isn't improved?


This is only a minor iteration; they've bumped the processors, but left them at the same TDP, and bumped the RAM. That's about it. Battery life changes will happen when Broadwell Macs show up, late this year or early next depending on how Intel's schedule works out.
