    I gave Bret the same feedback. My point was that if he could package up a smaller version of it (say with a pico projector and a simple webcam) then you could have a ton of creativ…

    Create in English, Krit in Sanskrit, ecrit in French. Death is Mrit in Sanskrit, and morte in French. Is is astu in Sanskrit, Ast in Farsi (if I recall correctly).

    With this, could you not also use say balloons to get the rocket up till a particular point, and then switch to beamed power?

    Even for the app - if its a cost argument, then allow others to compete on a cost basis. Of course, apple will not let you set up your own app store with the same guarantees that a…

    It would work if you can sing out the phrase ;). Basically a real life version of a musical.

    I think here you need to look at their main weakness, which is strong reliance on government contracts. If Trump loses the next election then there will be a major change that will…

    Actually, it seems that compilers is a domain that APL can potentially excel at.. https://github.com/Co-dfns/Co-dfns

    Why not combine the methods? Use the BTC stuff to fund the stock stuff, and have different twitter accounts do different things. Biden's for BTC, and Musk's for stock market manipu…

    IMHO, this would be a perfect application to build using Elixir and Phoenix LiveView. I think it would provide really robust realtime capabilities, and fits well with things like b…

    While I really like array programming languages in general, I think what is really an elegant balance of readability and conciseness is the nile language and its application to ras…

    I think its important to distinguish between something that is a core piece vs all the other things that make the system usable. For example once you start adding error handling, a…

    I'd also suggest looking at Pike's ivy as a simple example of an apl like system in go. https://github.com/robpike/ivy

    It's definitely harder. I have been doing O'caml for about 20 years now, and we have probably one of the largest Elm apps out there. I looked at Purescript, especially because it a…
