   I can relate to this. In the past decade, I have been working about 24 hours a week, at first because I am a caregiver, now because I am used to it, but also because I feel that that is the amount of time I can be productive. But I still do

   I guess, you are refering to JWEB. I made some attempt where it is just enough to use the standard MarkDown indication for code.

   Last year, I experimented with developing a literary programming approach based on MarkDown where you do not need to use special markers. I wrote a 'compiler' which takes a list of MarkDown files, analyses all the C code and put t

   What about [(((])))? If you fix this in a 'linear' manner you get [((()))]()()(). But a shorter way to fix it is: []((([]))).

   This reminds me of the Gigatron, a minimal retro TTL-computer, which came as a kit. See: https://gigatron.io/ The C program for the emulator can be found at https://github.com/kervinck/gigatron-rom&#x2F

   I did some work on finding repeated Rule 30 patterns.

   That is really much longer than would expect. Sounds like using the C++ compiler for this purpose is not working well.

   Interesting approach. Instead of using a program to generate the table that is used by the parsing algorithm (like yacc) it generates it during compile time. This should not be any slower (in order of magnitudes) than using a parser generat

    I build a meta online programming language, where you can define your own grammar ;-). See: https://fransfaase.github.io/ParserWorkshop/Online_inter_par... An example grammar is found at the bottom of the page.

    For the second puzzle, there is no need to calculate a sum of three elements. I only realized this myself after having thought about it a bit longer.

    I found that just explaining the problem to someone else, also works in great ways. I knew a guy, who thought that I was much smarter than himself, and often he would come up to me to ask me for advice and started to state the problem, whic

    I just turned 60 and I am still working as a software engineer. I live in the Netherlands. In the past decade, I have been working 24 hours per week on average. The past two years I worked on an application that is used only within the comp

    A nice collection formuleas that seem usefull when doing theoretical computer science. Maybe could improve it with adding the definition for NP-complete, context free grammars, Turing complete, and such.

    I agree with what you say. But instead of learning Toki Pona, you could also learn the 100 most common Chinese words and probably say as much as you can say in Toki Pona. If you study that list, you will see that just like in Toki Pona, man

    I do not fully agree with you. Although it is a small language, it has language constructs that are foreign to English (and some of which I do not know of being used in any natural language, although I expect that there is an obscure langua

    It is probably because the proof is either relativizing, natural or algebrizing. It has been proven that those types of proofs are not going to work. The people who submit these kind of proofs often do not understand that they are never goi

    This is a good method for memorizing facts about some material that you understand. The asterisk method is about getting a grasp of material that is hard to understand. Your method is typically what is needed in studying subject like (forei

    Looks like you can use the back button of the browser for this. And a redo can be done by using the forward button of the browser.

    I have used the goto statement to implement enumerators classes in C++ using a state member and a switch statement with goto statements at the start of the method. Of course, also all local (loop) variables need to be replaced by (private)

    This might be culturally dependent, as in some cultures there is much more emphesize on competition than in others. Have you reflected on your behaviour towards your children with respect to this?

    I once used a VR system that showed your hands with fingers in the position they were (using some kinect like system, I guess). I noticed when I grasped something with these virtual hands, I got the wierd sensation that I actually touched s

    It looks like the article only references philosophers and psychologists, not people like, for example, Thomas Metzinger, Stanislas Dehaene and Joscha Bach.

    Does that also work if FTP is the only means to upload files to your hosting provider? If not, do you know of a simple FTP client that can do the same?

    I do not know if where you host your website, but if you have to upload it to a hosting provider, it is nice to have an upload folder that contains only the files that have changed (or regenerate the files that have changed). For my persona

    I totally agree. I have been writing on the internet since 1995 and I do not care about the number of visitors, because I primarily write due my urge to write and record my life. Most of what I write is just trivia about what I did. It prim
