Native Node is fine, and generally runs better than the equivalent MBP. My 8GB M1 handles Node & JS about twice as fast as my 16GB 15" Intel MBP from 2019. Where you can run into i…

My perspective: Going from a 2019 15" MacBook Pro with 16GB of memory to an 8GB M1 13" MacBook Pro You don't start to feel the 8GB until you: * have a lot of tabs open in Safari (l…

(OP Here) I've used pagetable.com quite a lot for reference to see how things were done in CBM BASIC. I didn't always follow that direction (also looked at GW-BASIC, and others), b…

Nice! (OP here) I've definitely been looking a some implementations, but I don't think I directly looked at these. (Instead, pagetable.com and gw-basic and the like have proven inv…

When it comes to JK Rowling, absolutely. She's pretty firmly in TERF territory, and holds pretty damaging views when it comes to those of us who are trans/gender non-conforming.

I finally had time to revisit the suggestions in the comments -- what great ideas. :-) I wrote them up in a post here: https://able.bio/kerrishotts/building-a-basic-interpreter-80.…

Oooh -- good idea. I don't think I have an instruction that quite matches. Retroputer's branch instructions are directly tied to the flags, so you can do `br !c(arry)`, but that do…

A quick search indicates that BBC Basic had a LISTO command that could add indents. I should see if I can add something similar.

You’re right! I’ll do that. :-) I haven’t done a lot of optimization yet-probably lots of things like this. :-)

Author here & wow! Didn't expect to see this get posted anywhere, but happy to see that there are people as interested in this stuff as I am. If you do play with Retroputer at all,…

OMG--that would have been SO nice to have. I don't think I got my first taste of syntax highlighting until I got access to Turbo Pascal. Adding it to Retroputer BASIC should be tri…

I wouldn't rule out the pandemic being an issue here. These are not _normal_ times, and is an additional stressor. For me stress _definitely_ impacts my ability to think clearly, a…

Gah; my app doesn't like it either! Gotta be a bug... :-(

As long as one can leverage plugins for hybrid apps, I don't see why most of the demoed features today aren't possible in a hybrid app. At least nothing sent up huge red flags for …

This looks pretty cool. I think it would be fantastic if you'd integrate social logins here. I'd rather log in with Facebook or Twitter than create a completely separate account ju…

Yes -- I was just indicating that WinNT was the first Windows to do it. Every Windows based on the NT kernel supports stderr redirection. Win95, 98, and ME didn't, since they were …

Yeah, Windows NT Workstation 3.1 was the first Windows to have stderr redirection[1]. Windows 95, 98 and Millennium (oh, that horrid edition. I actually bought it! Gag.) don't supp…

I've been doing ES6 for several months now. Not once have I mistook `=>` for `>=`. Not once have I made a typo when I wanted an arrow function. Of course any syntax can be abused i…

You'll probably transition fairly easily. Mac OS X is a customized BSD, so although it has differences with respect to Linux, it's also not that foreign either. * Remap Command and…
