What is Hackers' Pub?

in no particular order

1. OpenSSH. a clever play on words, a frankly indulgent use of shading, a timeful (antonym of timeless) use of drop shadow, and a tagline that never has, nor will, seen any use. all displayed as a GIF that can be easily made over ten kilobytes smaller by simply converting it to PNG, a format that has been supported in web browsers since internet explorer 7 launched in 2006.
2. strace. the choice of an animal associated with an idiom about ignoring things that make you uncomfortable as the mascot for a tool frequently used for performance tracking is inspired. the look on its face asks if you really want to resort to using this tool. the presence of those varying line thicknesses harkens back to the era of microsoft's clipart library. it's comforting.
3. pigz. no abstract representations of concepts or animal mascots here. the name of the project in a soothingly round font, progressively fading away, like an echoing voice shouted into a cave. it encourages your inner monologue to voice its name with reverberation. there can be no doubt as to the project this logo represents. powerful.
4. GCC. a baby GNU is born from a compiler collection egg. a clever representation of what GCC does, while still incorporating the overarching GNU theme. it gives a refreshing youth to one of the oldest C compilers still in contemporary use. helpfully, the egg is labelled "GCC" in italic capitals. a striking display of clarity and purpose.

Bloplang Pull Request #48592: Add zip method to iterators ​​​

This is a proposal to add the zip method to iterators. This would allow you to join two iterators together, alternating between results from both. E.g. tens.zip(hundreds) would give [10, 100, 20, 200, 30].... This has been the most requested feature on our wishlist for seven months, and my initial implementation here provides a 12% speed up on the test_cases/thousands_of_types.blop. 👍 532 👎 12 🚀 226 👀 114 😕 3

BlobBot says: Hi red_bean ! Thanks for opening a pull request to Bloplang! I've run your code, and found this: Maximum regression: 0.05%. Maximum improvement: 12.03%. I've assigned curly_brace to approve your code. Don't forget to leave a star! 👍 221 🚀 179 👀 12

BlopBot added the "BlopBot Seal of Approval" "No regressions" labels.

I've never heard of "zip" before. Googling it, it seems to be a compression algorithm? Not sure what this has to do with iterators. I suggest naming it interleave instead. 👍 23 👎 34

zip seems to be pretty widely accepted. For example, Rust and Python call it zip. 👍 27 😕 1

yeah i've never head of zip before. interleave is too long tho, how about weave 👍 54 👎 27

This for loop could be better expressed as a map. 😕 1

How about spritz? In the idiolect of English spoken by my Discord server, spritz is very commonly used to refer to mixing things together. EDIT If you're going to laugh react, please leave a comment explaining why. 👍 5 😆 143

wtf is a spritz 👎 5 😕 26

That's a bug with your Linux distribution’s zip command, which has nothing to do with Bloplang. Open a thread on the Fedora forums to discuss that, although they'll probably tell you that Fedora 32 is EOL. 👍 66

Okay, so we have 17 votes in favour of zip, 12 for weave, 5 for spritz, and somehow only 2 for interleave. Oh, and 1 each for sprinkle, intersperse_at_least_two_iterators_with_each_other, and sum. I'm beginning to suspect botting. 👍 7 😕 12

Hey read bean - this pull request is out of sync with main. Could you rebase on top of the twelve thousand commits that have occurred since you opened this? Thanks! 👍 63 🚀 2

whats stoping this from being merged? can we get an eta 👍 12 😕 2

It's mostly a debate on the name to use. I'm not sure why people aren't voting for interleave. I've provided numerous arguments as to why it's the obvious option, and I've even linked a conversation with ChatGPT 4-o proving that it makes the most sense. Sigh. 👍 2 😕 70 😆 11
