A lot of the rosetta code examples show the simple and the more complex example or less use of built-in functions to show they can express it with the core language.

It looks interesting. The reference card immediately made me think of the J vocab reference card (the old one, not the Nuvoc one!). I do like the declarative nature of beads, and it does remind me of Red or Rebol in a way as someone has alr

At first I thought it was Constructal Theory, a theory that is about flow of anything, people, heat, etc., by Andre Bejan [0], a well-known engineer at Duke. Constructor Theory has piqued my interest in terms of solving problems or framing

I picked up Godot years ago, and played with it on and off, because I am only a hobbyist. I have been spending time in Godot and in Stride[0], an opensource Unity-like 3D GE, but with a lot less clutter and fantastic C# and VS/VS Code

Wow, thanks for that! I don't know why I thought it would be so hot when I used to weld and cast metals. I remember when I was a kid we used to say something like, "I'll burn you to ashes" when playing. Still amazing tha

I prefer C#/F# over Dart, but Flutter is promising, and I continue to check in once and a while. I usually overcome PL preferences when the platform or toolkit is compelling. I remember Notch (of Minecraft fame) adopted Dart very early

Curious, I had heard of research where the brain of a sheep that was infected with a prion disease (not sure which), was burned to ash, and that ash placed on the exposed brain of a healthy sheep (via trepanation?), and it also developed th

I bought an OP-1 end of 2012 and I love(d) it. I've since become big on repair, and right to repair, and the OP-1 is not only expensive, but almost impossible to repair due to lack of parts. One day I could not get it to the boot scree

I was in search of a bare bones engine like Love that could deploy to many platforms. I didn't need a full-blown game dev environment, and I was leaning towards a coding heavy interface - no blueprints, drag-and-drop gui, etc. I found

Funny, but I would want one! Could you imagine the selfie stick. It would have to be signed off by a structural engineer.

I tried Cinder and OF years ago, and then I tried to use Extempore[1] because I prefer Lisps for dynamic programming. I am now trying NAP[2], which was opensourced a few months ago, and Nannou[3] a Rust creative library. I find the Nannou l

Yep. One of a few times we pinned my Dad to the wall with Big questions, and he had to get very philosophical about the meaning of life, loss, and the collective realization of our mortality.

I use the word 'acquaintance' a lot more to label people I have a passing relationship online, and not 'friend'. I have four or five real friends; the rest are acquaintances. Growing up without a TV or phone until I was

My father took me and my brother to see it at the movies, and I remember me and my brother crying and my Dad consoling us. We were 8 and 7 at the time. I haven't seen it since!

My family and I were set to move to Florida from NY just before COVID made the press. I was going to take a 10% cut in salary, because cost of living would be less and the company office there was equally at a lower rate than the NY/NJ

"/r/WSB voluntrily shut themselves down" is the point. It was self-managment. When a tech oligarchy - FB, Twitter, etc. acts together to censor that is my concern. Like there wasn't lot of silly banter or still is

Here is an interesting paper that says a collapsing star sheds enough mass to not ever become a black hole or form a singularity. It's from 2014, and still controversial, but interesting, and her math seems to have been reviewed. I wil

I have always gone back to play with PicoLisp, and I like it very much, but it requires a POSIX system and unfortunately I am on Windows. I can run it in WSL2 but switching systems breaks my workflow. I am guessing this is PicoLisp written

Any chance this could be made to work with tcc instead of gcc on Windows? I don't understand enough of how it is tied into gcc and linux to even take a shot at it.

Those seem like good points, however you can build a PC with name brand parts and keep them consistent and going for a decade. AMD has made sure you don't need a new motherboard everytime they move to a new generation of CPU compared w
