That sounds like a good idea. Have you considered writing it?

Thank you for making it! Unfortunately, a JVM on wasm would be quite difficult for the same reason that Lisp over wasm is quite difficult (I had actually looked for wasm JVMs befor…

Thanks for the only compliment in the thread! I appreciate it, especially given I've been such a fan of your writing and life for such a long time. I think that the people who resp…

I think it's fine to accuse people of things, even though I did feel a little sad about it. I don't think the problem is that you broke rules of a web forum, or that you attacked m…

As it says in the article, stdout is wired to the browser console. So you open your browser console to see it. It's not meant to be sold, it's just a little toy.

The spec people have been very rude to the Lisp people every time something has been brought up. I'm not going to look up everything that's been written, but here's an example: htt…

Nothing's being sold; it's just a little toy.

That's not true at all, and I'm tempted to write something to prove you wrong. My aesthetic choices were intentional, and almost nothing in your comment is right.

The page was written to render well if you turn reader view on, and the color schemes are all in one line and easy enough to change. The only thing missing from the reader view is …

I don't think you hit the mark at all, as the person who wrote the page. Nothing you note is a bad thing; they're all positives. Superficiality is my specialty. Your comment kind o…

All of the CSS is handwritten for exactly the intended effect that it gave.

I took a picture of a box of pens, snatched the hex values from it, and then threw them directly onto the page. I'm glad you like it!

A month or so ago, I ported a Common Lisp implementation (npt) to WebAssembly to make a silly blog post, because I was bored and have a lot of time on my hands to waste with things…

Microsoft's been agitated that the Windows source gets put in a torrent every few years. They haven't been able to rid the planet of that, yet. IPFS is a less-efficient DHT, basica…

I was talking about mahmud, actually, the user who summed up your article. Thanks for the article!

Previous summary of this article, from a thread with otherwise no activity and with an author that no longer posts on HN, said more elegantly than I could dream of saying: https://…

HN's hellbans aren't real shadowbans, because other users can see them. They just have to opt-in to seeing potentially offensive content (it's a setting in your profile). Other use…

That's not really the "HN team," though. What you're describing that the partners did is scummy, but makes sense when you realize that partners and dang have effectively an adversa…

Have you considered that he might just avoid sharking out on people he considers friends, or people with too large a platform? Genuine question.

It isn't dang's fault that Patrick has a Google Alert or daemon running for his name (or just has a lot of employees who notify him whenever it comes up). It's not direct control o…

In your defense, Justine's been at this for a long time! Give it time and effort, and you too can do amazing technical things. Potential isn't a concrete thing, it's a set point yo…

If you count being forced in a box by government entities as imprisoned, he's been imprisoned since 2012. If you're a stickler for being literal, he's if nothing else been captive …

No, you're missing the point. People who want that can buy a PS4, which has always been cheaper, has more interesting exclusives, and as a result has had its copy protection broken…
