I’m of limited mental capacity. Who’s doing the supervising in this thing?

Nice. I worked on a Linux disto when I was a wee lad and all we did was compute a new md5 and ship it.

Too much typing ‘if err..’ everywhere

We have some Perl scripts that are freaking immortal. The rest of the code base started in Java, then Clojure, now it’s Go. The scripts are there still in their very-not-modern Per…

I love this guy

I’ve hated working on every Angular project I’ve worked on. No matter the team, the experience level or complexity, it’s always been an absolute misery. I cannot understand how it …

> it's almost unkillable. Kills my iPhone XS Max daily though. The navigation is completely broken as well. Some things don’t close, back button might or might not work, never seem…

I think it is direct threaded Forth but there is a conditional token table in there (tokens.asm). Thought it might be some clever hybrid of threading techniques, but I don’t see ho…

I play around with White Lightening occasionally because of the ease of making games with it on C64 and the comprehensive documentation (PDFs of it have been preserved).

Man, I hate living in a nanny state like Texas where big government is reaching into all parts of peoples lives. Parents really need to stop putting iPads in toddlers hands and act…

Does this one have a good REPL experience? Like interactive as well as “eval top-level/region/etc” features

> the developer who had implemented the function said he had heard that if/then was inefficient, so he used try/catch instead I would love to see that function

Well I think we just witnessed the end of CUDA then. We usually code around such brain damage.

Is Signal one of the other platforms they mention?

> Why do you unwind the stack? Something terrible happened? Definitely not, Definitely do. In Go we just have to emulate it, badly, by manually writing code to forward the error up…

At my old school we had glorious two story high steel monkey bars apparatus. At some point they put rubber shavings under it as a safety thing. Several years later, they cut it dow…

I didn’t notice it until I got a motorcycle and started riding, because there’s very little between you and the environment and you’re moving so fast you can definitely feel the co…

I think the SDL2 bindings for Common Lisp went through a similar realization and any kind of finalization was removed.

I did my first mud on a 386. It was dos or Linux I can’t remember. I was learning C at the same time so you can imagine it was the software equivalent of pruno.

I did this for a few years. I started off listing component volumes and mass etc. Towards the end I was just noting “good” or “bad” (like how I thought I went) on a calendar, then …

Man wait until they find out where all my stuff is made.

Is this the stuff that’s also a great lube?

I think about this almost daily while slogging away in hundreds of lambdas, working on the world’s slowest app server. I think maybe 10% of our effort rubs off as business value. M…

You can count on humanity to have learned nothing from the last war.
