or perhaps it'll go down the QUIC path instead :) context: QUIC was originally an acronym as well

I haven't seen it implemented anywhere, but that sounds like the "pagetable displacement" approach described here: https://wiki.osdev.org/IPC_Data_Copying_methods#Pagetable_di... T…

fwiw, I normally think of LMDB when the idea of using the fs instead of a db crosses my mind

If I was to tackle a simplified view of the problem I think you're describing: your frontend devs should provide the markup template the backend would interpolate and return In the…

I think this htmx essay [1] addresses the tradeoffs you may be getting at if you're thinking "why html vs js+json": the gist is that html is self-describing to the browser, so the …

If I understand correctly, the main selling point of htmx is that _html_ is extended with the attributes from GP: the idea being that a bulk of the interactivity of SPAs can be ach…

I can understand the failure to build a critical mass of contributors, but can you share some examples of where your work was duplicated instead of built upon? I’ve read through so…

If you found this interesting and want more, then I think this is a good follow up to read next [1]. It takes a similar approach to introducing the code-as-data idea, but uses xml …

I think the kind of licensing you’re referring to is usually called permissive licensing [1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permissive_software_license

Here are some examples showing Common Lisp’s built-in support for multidimensional arrays: https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/arrays.html

Can you share more info about the parentheses being a hazing test? I’ve seen Dylan syntax [1], but is there something else that shows the parentheses to be unnecessary in 2020? [1]…

Yes, the kernel does remove unmaintained/unused code according to GKH at 30:30 in this interview [1]. [1] https://youtube.com/watch?t=1830&v=t9MjGziRw-c

I think you can draw this ‘core of an environment’ parallel between Forth and Scheme: both are small languages and they emphasize growing the language to the problem domain [1]. Co…

If you’re interested in Common Lisp, Practical Common Lisp is a good overview of the language [1]. Since you’ve done game programming, here’s a simple snake game I wrote a while ba…

I just finished reading the OSTEP book[1] and it has a nice chapter on SSDs[2]. The entire last portion of the book is about filesystems/disks so you might find it interesting. [1]…

Can you share sources/data showing some of the fallout from covid-19 mitigation efforts?

Here’s one in Common Lisp if you’re interested in comparing loc with a lisp :) https://github.com/SahilKang/cl-snake

I would recommend contributing code to a well known FOSS project, or at least an existing project that you use or respect. I think hacking on meaningful projects will be clear mile…

I haven’t used this myself, but Reason seems to fit your description of ‘learning any language’ while having static typing: https://reasonml.github.io I’m more of a lisper, but OCa…

That’s an interesting opinion I’ve never heard before: suicide as an inalienable right. For clarity, you’re not referring to euthanasia by any chance, are you? If not, can you elab…
