I actually find it way easier and shorter to review code I've written in J and APL, because it is so succinct and the symbols are well defined. Having to review something that is a paragraph or one page of code is much easier than foll

I am pretty sure mine had white phosphor. A 1977 PET 2001. Maybe it was white/blue?

My first computer! I bought it used in 1977/78. I paid $800 for the 32k upgraded one. I learned to program on this, but actually learned PDP-11 assembly from a book before I purchased it. Of course, not applicable to PET Basic! I loved

The computer store owner in the USA is not a foreign adversary. The content is real and criminal. Ties to foreign adversary China and Russia too. Be honest, and ask yourself if that had been Trump's son's laptop would Twitter, The

Really? Jack Dorsey 2015 said it and many times after [1]. Twitter only censored the oldest continually published newspaper in America during an election about the Hunter Biden laptop. [1] https://twitter.com/jack/s

I agree. I wanted to present the opposite side to make sure short-term memories remembered.

Oh, just like when pre-Musk Twitter banned NY Post/journalists over a true story about Hunter Biden's laptop. I don't see how an anti-doxxing rule banning people tracking Elon Musk's whereabouts is worse.

Some are talking about the risk of myocarditis after vaccination as being way less than the risk of dying from COVID. I would say this is just one thing popping up about the vaccines. There no long-term studies of the vaccination even if th

Found the videos for HOPE 1994, and the one with Eric Hughes. I found myself in the video at age 30! Still a good talk: https://infocondb.org/con/hope/hackers-on-planet-earth/crypt...

I heard Eric Hughes talk at the HOPE (Hackers on Planet Earth) conference in NYC in 1994[1]. Amazing talk on crypto and digital banking in the future and digital currencies decades before Bitcoin. I was juiced. I bought and started reading

Amazing! Did you implement your own vector lib? I have been studying Geometric Algebra, and I wondered how hard would it be to try and duplicate your vector lib in GA. I am also a beginner with Clojure, but not Lisp, and this is something I

I know Rust has many goals on paper that align with this decision, however, what large codebases in the field of high-integrity software are written in Rust? Does Rust comply with high-integrity software standards (CENELEC EN 50128, DO-178C

I feel the same way. I've dove in three or four times on Rust, but I get stuck learning Rust and not producing what I first set out to do in it. Currently, I have committed to learning Zig for my low-level or C-type projects, and I hav

1. Amiga Assembly Language Programming (1987) - The book that tore me away from the Commodore BASIC I learned on my PET 2001 in 1978. 2. The Architecture of Symbolic Computers - (1991) - I didn't read this until the 2000s, but boy, wha

Pretty neat. I'll have to try and do something with it. I mainly do Blender animations, so this will be new to me. Looks like a nice interface.

I have the Georgi by g heavy industries for steno! I love the builds, and I packed it when I went to Saudi for 2 months. I need to print a flexible base to tie both halves together, but have flex to let them sit on anything. I love the low-

Perhaps "understand" was the wrong word given I meant for me to understand. I have a C background and Pascal as well as assembler back in the day (late 70s/early 80s). I dove into Ada/SPARK2014 and picked it up much quic

I didn't say it was strange. I found it amusing that this is what came up during the other person's search for SPARK2014, and yes, thinking it sounded like a suitable electric vehicle name. Chevy called their electric offering Vol

Hah, Chevy Spark, and it's a gasoline car! I usually put "SPARK2014 programming" or "SPARK2014 Ada" in my searches. I used to get annoyed by all of the Apache Spark stuff that came up, but that seems to have waned a

I own the Kinesis Advantage 2, but the Kinesis 360 seems to be the final culmination of what all the other keyboards are trying to do. I almost considered buying one, when I realized my Advantage 2 is good enough for me in terms of how it i

While not a split, two-piece keyboard, I opted for the Kinesis Advantage 2 keyboard. It has the cupped wells that follow your finger lengths in 2 axes, and you don't have to fuss with two pieces, tenting, and adjustments. I can put it

Yeah, not a lot of data points, and a niche subject, game dev, but I am playing with the Mach game and graphics engine, and so far so good. I started programming in 1978 in CPM Basic, C, 6502 assembler, etc. I play with Rust, but if I am re

I hope they don't go down the Rust path. A scripting language or DSL needs to be simple for game dev. They certainly are not going to rewrite UE5 from C++ to Rust!

It is so new, I couldn't tell you other than I had read it was going to be a mix of Smalltalk with some Lisp features. I think a talk of a REPL with hot reload while your game is running type of thing, and Simon Peyton Jones of Haskell

I've tried them all. I use SBCL with emacs and slime at the moment, but Corman Lisp is a simple MSI installer with cool demos and a nicely integrated environment. I am sorry, but even though I have used emacs for many years, getting a
