I don't have an extremely high opinion of sdl2-compat specifically because my SDL2-based projects have had several bizarre bug reports which originated in downstream packages presu…

The changelog for this project dates back to 2019, well before SDL3 was available. SDL2 supports some older platforms that SDL3 has deprecated. If you value running on those deprec…

Not pictured: the walkman-sized box containing the rest of the TV that attached to the watch via a hefty umbilical cable.

The alert[] function prompts the user for input. The second "string" argument indicates the prompt will ask for a string, and return it. (alert[] can also ask for other datatypes, …

In Decker, most of this example would be similar. The button's default script template would be: on click do end And filling it in with an equivalent script would be something like…

Decker heavily emphasizes the concept of "reified data", representing information as tangible entities within a deck. You can create "contraptions" as specialized data containers/e…

I use personal applications written in Decker on a daily basis. There are over 300 games, zines, visual novels, and toys built with Decker on itch.io: https://itch.io/games/tag-dec…

Decker prefers integral upscaling. On most browsers, "Decker -> Fullscreen" in the menu (or "app.fullscreen:1" from a script) will enable "stretching", but this feature is not supp…

Decker fonts are composed of fixed-size bitmaps. The included example "fonts.deck" has a variety of additional fonts to choose from in various sizes, and an editor: https://beyondl…

Asking for good-faith compliance, and failing that, simply waiting for slop enthusiasts to publicly brag about using LLMs to break the rules. All evidence suggests that it is impos…

LLMs are in essence an attack on the concept of written language, harvesting and dissolving the social contract that underpins it; it is no longer safe to assume that text has inte…

A Quadra 700 could run A/UX 3.0 or higher, which would make it relatively pleasant for the macs and unix workstations to interoperate (provided you spared no expense).

The articles you publish are, in principle, a celebration of the cleverness in programming and hardware design behind video games; a vehicle for appreciating human craftsmanship an…

It's tremendously disappointing to see Fabien stoop to using slop for his research; completely antithetical to the love for software craftsmanship I had inferred from his previous …

How many places do you have Bash, but not AWK?

I'd like to know more about how this is built. A stripped-down mac emulator? Does it leverage any of the existing libraries for decoding the HyperCard stack format, or something no…

Lisa and early MacOS are tremendously different in their details than the Alto operating system. While there was clearly a transfer of inspiration, Apple engineers like Bill Atkins…

I think the key thing is that nothing about Decker or Lil was specifically designed or tweaked for this use case; Everything I needed to build the hershey module and make it reason…

Here's another 8-page zine maker, built with Decker: https://micpp.itch.io/hybrid-zine-template-for-decker

Measuring education in dollars spent is rather consistent with measuring the productivity of LLMs in lines of code excreted.

The point is that https-everywhere people have successfully pushed the majority of the sites that could previously be served over vanilla http to require https anyway. Now if you'r…

"Accessibility" is an open-ended set of functionality, not a checkbox; it is never "complete", there is always room for improvement. Colorblind support (which ones)? High-Contrast …
