Putting aside this silliness of using AI to declutter AI generated noise... Can anyone explain why someone would be inclined to use this app as opposed to asking an existing AI cha…

Also, Smalltalk was heavily inspired by LISP[0]. The line between functional and object-oriented is quite blurry. Especially in a pure OO language like Smalltalk. The dynamic and p…

I was reminded of this article ( https://blog.cleancoder.com/uncle-bob/2014/10/01/CleanMicros... ) from Uncle Bob while reading this paper. From the article: > The Deployment Model…

Coming from a C#/Java background, discovering Smalltalk was an eye-opening experience regarding supposed "legacy" programming languages. I would argue it's a more expressive langua…

I've heard of Bridge, but had no idea how it's played. I looked it up and it's totally not what I expected. Sounds interesting. Thanks for the suggestion.

I would love to spend more time with him. Unfortunately, right now I live 1500 miles away. But I think you might be right about the OSS. A lot of other commenters seem to share the…

I've had several conversations with him about what he plans to do with his time after he retires and he doesn't know. He's actually said to me, "I don't know. What do you think I s…

This is good advice, of course. But my dad is very much an introvert, so he never really sought out things to do with others. He never really took up a hobby by himself either beca…

My dad is retiring this year from his career of 48 years. For reference, he worked for the federal government and his job involved interpreting U.S. import tax laws and calculating…

My opinion is the best strength training routine is the one you can stick to. Sometimes you get into a routine because someone told you it's the way to do things. You try to force …
