I’m of limited mental capacity. Who’s doing the supervising in this thing?

Nice. I worked on a Linux disto when I was a wee lad and all we did was compute a new md5 and ship it.

Too much typing ‘if err..’ everywhere

We have some Perl scripts that are freaking immortal. The rest of the code base started in Java, then Clojure, now it’s Go. The scripts are there still in their very-not-modern Perl style though. They have a self-evaluating behavior consist

I’ve hated working on every Angular project I’ve worked on. No matter the team, the experience level or complexity, it’s always been an absolute misery. I cannot understand how it was invented/why it exists, how smart people at Google

I think it is direct threaded Forth but there is a conditional token table in there (tokens.asm). Thought it might be some clever hybrid of threading techniques, but I don’t see how tokens is used.

I play around with White Lightening occasionally because of the ease of making games with it on C64 and the comprehensive documentation (PDFs of it have been preserved).

Man, I hate living in a nanny state like Texas where big government is reaching into all parts of peoples lives. Parents really need to stop putting iPads in toddlers hands and actually start, err, parenting.

Does this one have a good REPL experience? Like interactive as well as “eval top-level/region/etc” features

Well I think we just witnessed the end of CUDA then. We usually code around such brain damage.

Is Signal one of the other platforms they mention?

> Why do you unwind the stack? Something terrible happened? Definitely not, Definitely do. In Go we just have to emulate it, badly, by manually writing code to forward the error up the stack so you can finally top-level print “error bad

At my old school we had glorious two story high steel monkey bars apparatus. At some point they put rubber shavings under it as a safety thing. Several years later, they cut it down to one story. Later they removed the whole thing. I know e

I didn’t notice it until I got a motorcycle and started riding, because there’s very little between you and the environment and you’re moving so fast you can definitely feel the cooler and hotter parts of a city. Areas with trees, not neces

I think the SDL2 bindings for Common Lisp went through a similar realization and any kind of finalization was removed.

I did my first mud on a 386. It was dos or Linux I can’t remember. I was learning C at the same time so you can imagine it was the software equivalent of pruno.

I did this for a few years. I started off listing component volumes and mass etc. Towards the end I was just noting “good” or “bad” (like how I thought I went) on a calendar, then not even consistently. I learned that this is how much of my

Man wait until they find out where all my stuff is made.

Is this the stuff that’s also a great lube?

I think about this almost daily while slogging away in hundreds of lambdas, working on the world’s slowest app server. I think maybe 10% of our effort rubs off as business value. Maybe less.

You can count on humanity to have learned nothing from the last war.

Can this thing be updated real time?

This brings back memories. We did the same thing with a giant Fortran 77 app turned CGI app. It was my first job, fun times.

I have a feeling those pascal developers are getting stuff done super productively.

Until they are fitting the carbon capture machinery over the end of coal/gas fired power plant chimney stacks, it’s bullshit.

I think this kind of catastrophic failure starts with the leadership and a board that seems to be asleep, not with the intern program.

Reads less like Perl in Lisp: (loop for i below 10 when (zerop (mod i 3)) collect (* i i))
