   I like his video about playing the royal game of Ur too.

   I guess for Nostalgia? I hadn't heard of this machine before at all. It doesn't look like the games would be that appealing either. I guess I did buy the mini SNES even though it has similar issues.

   Didn't the string stuff get improved in the last few years to be a lot more performant?

   I think some inflammation is natural and a response to infection, but when your entire diet and lifestyle lead to daily inflammation, I'm guessing it's really bad.

   Not just too much stuff IMO. I kind of like all the features. The main problem in my eyes is not enough volunteers (although they are doing a superhuman effort) to get it into the production level it needs to get more widespread adoption. T

   I might do the same if there isn't anything already pre installed. On most of the RHEL machines I've used there has at least been some Python or Perl interpreter installed. Maybe that was just something the IT folks did. I'm

   At some point, the clear features of modern languages far outweigh what I get out of the command line tools and Awk/Bash. For me, it doesn't take long, so it's less discipline and more not wasting my time. Your mileage may va

   I think a common strategy (at least for me) is to make good use of Linux commands and things like Awk and Sed. If it grows more than a few lines, it's often best to switch to something like Python, Perl, Tcl...etc.

    Labview seems like a pain (I haven't used it), but I guess it's super useful for some uses. I recall SpaceX uses it for controlling launches. It comes with models for all manner of hardware.

    It looks like it's still being developed, but I feel like the 0.1 version number hasn't changed in 10 years. What cool projects are people making?

    This has showed up here a few times before (example): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10634918 I'm always interested in hearing people's reactions to Forth though and every now and then you get a cool new sto

    I just meant that getting some vote when you're amongst a giant collection of super intelligences might not mean much. It's all theater as they can ultimately manipulate the outcome in ways you'd never be able to catch on to.

    Thanks for the info. I've read a few of the books and been on the wiki a lot, but haven't read all of them, so there's a lot I don't know or only partly remember. I think letting humans vote on some small things may be t

    I believe the culture does allow organic life to upgrade to a culture mind. I think I read that somewhere. Of course you wouldn't be you anymore, but you have options and that always made it a pretty malleable cage you can slip out of

    I've noticed this too and it's always bothered me. It isn't true in everything (I love the split decision making when roller skating in a crowded rink), but when it comes to something like learning new mathematics, my wife is

    I think the demand has fallen so much that it's likely the former, but this isn't my area.

    Ummm...APL, Prolog, and Rebol are extremely esoteric. Their share of total code out there has got to be like less than 0.0001% and their paradigms are considered extremely weird and not for general consumption . I don't agree with the

    Good choices. Add APL, Prolog, and Rebol.

    I went to a coin/stamp shop not too long ago to kill some time downtown and the guy said basically nobody cares about stamps anymore. Still plenty interested in coins.

    Good point. The state's government is in Little Rock in the middle of the state and pretty conservative.

    Bentonville Arkansas is basically like a cheaper Denver Colorado. They have one of the best coffee roasters/shops out there, tons of bike and hiking trails, you're in the Ozarks, a major university is next door in Fayetteville. Yo

    It is difficult to pin down how to describe it. It is homoiconic as well like lisp (at least the scripting part of Red), but seems to be used in some kind of functional imperative style.

    This comes up from time to time. A really cool idea, but it didn't go anywhere so far. It seems like a lot of work has occurred according to github, but to the potential users, it doesn't seem like much has ultimately changed sinc

    I never said they were, but could've sworn that the Wikipedia page or parent comment did (I can't find it now and am questioning my sanity). I couldn't understand how he could try to get rid of them, although this isn't

    How do we do things like electrical engineering without imaginary numbers? Is this method an actual improvement?

    "Native" might have been an excessively strong term. I should've said there are varieties that are unique to the region even though their ancestors originally came from Asia. Example: https://en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2
