You might be looking at these old Unix GUIs thinking they're shit compared to now, but actually, at the time, they were shit too.

At some point I could disassemble 8086 (16 bit x86/real mode) as a kid. Byte sequences like 31 C9 or 31 C0 were a sure way to know if a loop of some kind was being initialized. Even simple compilers at the time made the mov xx, 0 → xo

I don’t know what everyone gets out of Twitter/X. I signed up recently to see what the fuss is about, I think I selected science and music as starting interests. Within 10 minutes I was getting lots of right wing borderline Nazi bullsh

Bro, you need to encounter someone barely surviving on SNAP out there. It will totally change your perspective.

I don’t think a tokenizer like that is a good idea for Forth. You’ve got to read the next space separated thing, find out if it’s supposed to be compiled or run. Eg the naive tokenizer would probably not work for .” for example.

> wouldn't it make sense to work on an interpreter I like the Julia approach. Full on interactivity, the “interpreter” just compiles and runs your code. SBCL, my favorite Common Lisp, works the same way I think

I am curious: does Meta deliver ads to you based on what you’re looking at? For example ads for diapers while looking at your baby etc.

Our front end team doesn’t settle for ONE framework - they have several, all in the same application’s code base. There’s React, AngularJS, Angular, Vue (I think they started on that??) and even a bit of Jquery. Is it an SPA? Well it’s an S

Not surprising if you’ve read the account in “Careless People”. Growth at all costs. My favorite part: just-in-time ad delivery to your suicidal teen for products they might need

I love garbage collector design and impl. It’s one of those “go to” thing to do when learning a new language. Never heard of this one, looking forward to diving in this weekend.

Long time lisper. It just doesn’t feel right unless your language can compile your language. It’s like wearing someone else’s underwear.

I think this guy has to be trolling in the testimonials page: “Yes! Now I can have shortcuts to run and debug tests. Ever since snippets were added, Zed has all of the features I could ask for in an editor.”
