Link to the project? I always like to see examples. Blogging about your experience using it would probably get you some decent traffic, too.

Any good open-source (or closed) examples of web apps built on this? The idea sounds neat, but I'm wary of concepts that aren't seeing real-world use. Node.js has momentum, Luvit has a little bit of momentum, this? In the web development

Pretty sure that's only asked because they offer need-based scholarships to women. If you don't need the scholarship, you could probably leave that unchecked if it makes you feel more comfortable. The blog post announcing the scholarships s

Lua's behavior here is identical to Ruby's, where 0 is also a truthy value: $ irb irb(main):001:0> if 0 then puts "0 is truthy!" end 0 is truthy! => nil irb(main):002:0> if (not 0) then puts "(not 0) is tru

1 and 2 both evaluate to true, yet they're not the same thing, so the comparison `1 == 2` is false. Is that equally problematic to you? There's no way to avoid this problem in any language that allows coercing a number to a boolean. There

I documented the tests on my project log: https://scott.mn/projects/luasynth.html#filter_effect In short, I ran C and Lua implementations of the same command, 6 times each, using the built-in "time" command in bash. Averaged the "user" ti

Lua's great. I recently used it to rewrite a small audio effect framework[1] based on an older project of mine in C[2]. To my astonishment, without any optimization efforts on my part, the LuaJIT version of one effect ran faster than the

Well, you can write client-side web apps in Lua: https://github.com/mherkender/lua.js Unfortunately, there is a bug in Lua.js and it doesn't support the preferred method of creating modules[1]. For this reason, I've yet to get a substan

Oh, cool. That does seem to work, when using GNU coreutils. So either: 1. I never thought to try that. How silly of me. OR 2. Perhaps tee behaves differently on OpenBSD (which I was using at the time).

Maybe I'm missing it, but this doesn't seem applicable to what my sponge program (and joeyh's) are intended to do: to modify a file "in-place". joeyh's example: sed "s/root/toor/" /etc/passwd | grep -v joey | sponge /etc/passwd My

That's where you need to read the actual CC0, not just my referral to it. https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode It's carefully written to address your concern about "to the extent permitted by law", including a publi

Looks like the equivalents of `-?>` and `-?>>` are now `some->` and `some->>`, is that right? Perhaps the name change is meant to avoid confusion now that there are multiple variants, i.e. also `cond->` and `cond

Depending on the application, speed may matter only for 5% (or less) of your code. If you can write that 5% in Ruby or Python, same as you wrote the other 95% in, you save a lot of difficulty compared to calling out to a C library — even if

I've seen very mixed reviews of the Android USB sticks, especially at the low end (~$40 as you say, many are more like $70)... they seem unreliable. They also don't have quite the large community hacking on them that the RPi has. Not an exp

Tent.io introduced a few cool ideas, so I'm glad it's part of the conversation, but it's definitely not the answer. The developers behind it have a weird preoccupation with preserving all your content forever. For example, if you edit you

Whenever someone complains of poor hardware support on Linux, it's worth remembering that this is not just because Linux sucks or Linux developers can't code. It's about money. Hardware manufacturers don't write drivers for Linux; the marke

This assumes a linear relationship between hours worked and amount accomplished. I doubt such a relationship holds after 5 or 6 hours. I bet many programmers would get more done in a 6-hour day than an 8-hour day, due to increased energy.
