You may be aware of this already, but if not: it sounds like tiddlywiki was made specifically with you in mind.

He's referring ... to his "art". Thats what the piece he linked to was a part of. Its not poisonous nor reductive to decide not to follow an "artist" because his "art" is repulsive.

Well, if you use flightaware to track flights, you're using tcl. The vast majority of their codebase is in tcl.

I read your BRILLIANT synopsis in the tone of Sir Humphrey (the civil servant) from "Yes Minister". Fits perfectly. Take a bow, good sir ...

Wow, thats one hell of a reaction to someone's blog post introducing their new project. Its almost as if someone charged you $$ for the privilege of reading it, and you now feel scammed, or something? Perhaps you can request a refund.

Hmm, so this is essentially the appimage concept applied to web pages, namely: - an executable header - which then fuse mounts an embedded read-only heavily compressed filesystem - whose contents are delivered when requested (the entire dwa

Ah, so the daily LARGE protests, in Venezuela, against his kidnapping are not indicative of "the vast majority of Venezuela". But the celebratory pics, which were claimed to be from Venezuela, but were actually from Miami and else

UN votes across decades have officially labeled Zionism as racism. International courts, from the ICJ to the ICC, despite massive pressure (& sanctions) have officially labeled their actions as genocidal & worthy of prosecution. (th

No it isn't. A "proxy" is someone who primarily serves someone elses interests first. Their own interests are subservient to that (if they come in at all). Venezuelans who may end up fighting for Venezuelan freedom to rule th

Completely dishonest answer. Sanctions decimated Venezuela's ability to maintain its oil infrastructure. Everything, from machined parts, to the various chemicals needed, everything, was affected. It just took a few years for the sanct

In this scenario, why should Venezuelans fighting against US occupiers be labeled as "proxies" for anyone. Even if they are aided by others, they would still be fighting for THEIR freedom, in THEIR land. (distinguishing the good g

Dude, theres not much point in arguing that. You see this kind of 5th column in the aftermath of most popular revolutions, from Iran to Chavez in Venezuela. A whole horde of folks who were part of the previous elites (or more likely, their

Hmm, you've got the gift-giving (it is the season, after all) backwards. We all saw Gianni Infantino stand by the desk, while HE gave a gift (a tasteful gold trophy, not a grubby little envelope) to the aforementioned representative of

Nope, puppy (all variants), fatdog, and porteus (all variants, including porteux & nemesis - which is arch based) can all boot in a mode where you can unplug/unmount the storage device from which it booted. (as can tiny core, alpin

There are many which could fit your description. Tiny core, puppy linux varients (voidpup, with the void pkg manager, is pretty nice), etc. However, I think the nicest put together ones are fatdog64 & porteus. fatdog64 is built from scr

Look, we can all acknowledge that there were, and are, many Americans who wish for this to be true. But at no point in America's history did that "many" ever constitute a majority. Or even close to it. Which is why, from its

If Israel improved its conduct by a factor of 1000, then maybe it could be considered "a war mongering nation". Instead, it's going down in history as a relatively-short-lived (<100 years) exercise in savagery.

I understand what you're saying. But, I don't have any "liberal assumptions". The Gaza Holocaust has demonstrated that there really is no such thing as international law, because there's no enforcement against certa

Well, we're all aware that the term "gunboat diplomacy" has been in use for centuries. The Barbary Wars was an interesting case of how multiple naval forces were engaging in piracy etc against each other. Barbary vessels in t

Just off the top of my head: - these boats are not in American waters. They are in their own, or neighbouring countries waters, and are being attacked by vessels whose home waters are 1000s of km's away - they are not being interdicted

Well, to continue that timeline. "Big Tech" freezes their version to the last gpl'ed version, and each commences their own (non-trivial effort) to make their own version (assuming the last gpl'ed version was not feature-

That's one thing which ruby unfortunately did not adopt from Smalltalk. In Smalltalk (at least, in the dialects I'm familiar with), the "method categories" metadata is used to signal that we're adding new methods (o

Interesting. Shows how aware they were of these 2025 criticisms, way back in the 80s (which shows how much of an oversimplification these criticisms are of the real situation). You probably already know about this, but in case you didn&#x27

Thanks for the info. Hmm, it's kind of cool to think there might be a few classes in today's fully-accelerated-vector-graphics-morphic cuis system that were first keyed into the system on an Alto in the 70s :-)

I didn't know that. So they didn't bootstrap an image from scratch, when they created the new VM?
