Will there be a sr.ht channel/server? Is there already?

I’ve been interested in shell scripting lately and I have to admit that I posted this not because of Joe’s high-level observations on minimalism of architecture, but because of his discussion of a tiny, shell-based system his team used for

It would be super useful to me to see this with a bit more detail, in case you have/know a writeup somewhere!

Neat - MES Scheme is apparently named after Alan Kay's description of Lisp as the Maxwell's equations of software. https://gitlab.com/janneke/mes

I think it’s underway. The keywords are “pubnix” and “phlog.”

Interesting. Can you suggest an example repo built this way?

Would you please recommend one of these forums?

I only spent a few minutes with it, but highly recommend the user's guide. I thought it was clearly and well-written, and also pretty funny. > A fact such as (duck) or (quack) is said to consist of a single field [...] As a simple a

I don't disagree with you at all and my reply should not be construed as criticism, but I just want to point out how funny the line, "Vim is how much you want to get out of it," is.

What's with the strange serialization? Does that mean something I'm not aware of?

It's amazing that the blurry interstitial text visible between two shelves reads, "We'll help protect you." How did that get past the Orwell filter?

I need a master list of end-user-friendly programming environments with built in guis/tuis, like HyperCard, Tiddlywiki, maybe Jupyter.

Is there a name for small(ish), self-contained programming environments that offer optional but well-coupled guis/tuis? I realize this is a gray area, because someone will point out that Tk and SQLite can be slapped on basically anythi

One or more Jupyter notebooks?

I try to emphasize that commits should not be thought of as "save points," which seems to be a seductive way to think of them, but as "undo points."

Sounds awesome. Can you say more? What languages or environments, what kinds of things you're modeling, other writeups?

I’m brand new to amateur radio, but loved my BBS back in the day. Can you tell me more about this?

I generally use option 4: pay for the service, and use a blocker to try to protect myself from risk I don’t see or understand.

I know what you mean. It’s hard to avoid feeling like what appears to be glossolalic nonsense would all be revealed as a majestic tour de force, perfectly comprehensible and life-changing, if you were familiar enough with Marx, Freud, Leibn

Rhizomatic values and actions vs arborescent ones, de- and reterritorialization, the drawing of lines of flight, and nomadic war machines, more than anything else. I’m not sufficiently grounded in Marx or Freud to follow their narratives co

I imagine I’ll take heat for this, but the first answer that comes to mind is A Thousand Plateaus by Deleuze & Guattari. It has been justifiably criticized by many people on many grounds, but as with OP and Freakonomics, certain of the

I got the Dell Mini 10v and I think it's still my favorite machine of all time. I've dj'ed several weddings with it, using mocp. It was the only machine I used in grad school. That was a truly righteous machine.

I’m learning the Elixir/Erlang/OTP ecosystem now. How would you do the term/text layer? ETS with frequent writes to disk? Mnesia?

Erlang too, fwiw.

I have a soft spot for Tk interfaces. I hope they become cool again (or, I mean, for the first time).
