Technical question: What would a third party browser rendering engine allow, that using the safari renderer doesn't? I figure if you make a browser by just wrapping the safari renderer then you can make it do whatever you want it to. W

I thought of adding external relational databases. The state of the program at runtime isn't really the most important thing. The state of the whole system over the span of days / weeks / months / years is what's re

"It can be done. But can doesn't mean should." I'm getting worn out on this turn of phrase. Yes, can doesn't mean should. But also, couldn't doesn't mean shouldn't. You have to justify "shouldn&#

My daily exercise goals are bite sized individual bursts of activity: 10 push ups, 10 squats, 30 jumping jacks, etc. I have a to do app on my phone (I use Productive for iOS) that is able to track to do items like x/times per day. Sinc

I see this less about the pope specifically, or homosexuality specifically. It's more a signal of the general trend towards liberalism at the top of the Catholic church.

I send myself emails or text messages.

Mind blown, this is really a new way of thinking about structuring text. At least I'd never considered it before. It was worth reading just for the mind expansion.

I just wanted to say that I used AirTable recently to organize some complicated, but business-facing data, and it was awesome. I highly recommend it.

I thought the music, dancing, choreography, and even storytelling, were actually pretty good. Am I supposed to be aghast that there were some breasts? I’m not sure what my reaction should be. I liked it. I liked 60s and 70s sci fi.

Yes I am a lifer. I prioritize personal investment and social engagement over raw salary income. I could find a better paying job tomorrow, within my current company. I like being up to my elbows in the business problem, and the best way to

I'm curious if embedded scripting language gurus know, would micro-python be suitable for pico-8? I'd prefer python over lua about 100 to 1. But maybe even in micro form, python is still too big to embed in that project?

I was asked to solve a relatively minor problem. I then turned it into a much larger project, more or less to entertain myself. Years later and the project just won't die, we've tried to get everybody off of it, but they just won&

This is not a story about license plates, cyclists, ghost cars, or the NYPD. "This presumably City employee..." Laws do not apply to the ruling class; laws apply to the working class.

"That didn’t stop multiple outlets, including CNBC and Bloomberg, from running headlines Friday saying that laid-off Twitter employees were leaving the building carrying boxes." This is the part that scares me. It feels like a lot

Easily this was the idea that maybe OOP wasn't the solution to everything. It's not exactly a paradigm, but more of a repudiation of one. I still write a majority of my code in classes. But you can see a lot of other influences as

I enjoy this sort of "one example, multiple different lenses" style of discussion. It reminds me of this book... Exercises in Programming Style by Cristina Videira Lopes.

I know TCL has an interesting story about how the syntax is basically all embedded strings, or something. Does anyone know if it has a recursive structure, as in lisp? Maybe it's more of an "everything is an X" structure, as

Oh nevermind, this link was to a very old bad copy of the document. There are newer nicer copies of the same book laying around the internet.

The old school formatting of this document makes it hard to read. I might re-format it as a way to force myself to read it.

Both forth and lisp seem similar to me. They have a "three sentences to explain how everything works" vibe. Forth uses a stack and so "reverses" the order of things. Lisp uses trees and so "indents" everything.

The story isn't what this guy did, or where he's from. The story is in why he wanted to see the pope.

> But there is a clear distinction between the build system and the programming language. Does there have to be? Is there a language that has absorbed its build system into it?

I'd be perfectly happy if the answer to TFA's question was "nothing". Zig has the minimalism of something like C89 or Lua. It has a syntax like C. It has compile time execution (as per TFA) like all sorts of languages me

It's no mistake that just a few pages into Genesis, we see Adam and Eve royally screwing up the paradise they've just been handed the keys to. People are just a hot mess.

"giving someone a free win" In chess, people don't care as much about who won or lost, as they do about... I'm not sure exactly. It might be the specific tactic they used, or prescient intuition somebody showed, or the p
