Thank you. It seems that it isn't really a property of multiplication per se but simply an algorithm for solving multiplication equations.

I'm gonna go a different way and say one of the most important things to study in comp sci is its history. If we're going to truly make programming and using computers better for people, I think it has to start with a good groundi

This is awesome! Thank you! I hate regex, too, but I love your inline railroad diagramming tool.

OP here, again. Thanks to everyone who read and commented! To answer a couple of questions: Mimix doesn't force to you reveal everything included in your work ("how the sausage was made"); it's simply there if you want t

OP here. MSL is a new language for representing research and text editing as programming language expressions. Our company's goal is to replace the word processor with an improved set of tools based on this language. The history of MSL

This is a great idea but I believe Sonos has some patents on syncing audio across separate speakers that is patented. Someone will need to figure out an open way around that.

Yes. It's content-agnostic and has nothing to do with games.

There wouldn't be 30 constants. The math is being made to fit something without explaining it.

by mimixco 7y ago
How many constants are required by the standard model to make the math work? Doesn't that admit something is unsolved? I think it's probably accurate to say we don't know much about subatomic physics and because of the scale&

The requirement that all transactions in the new "city" will have to use his crypto is going to make it impossible to get going. All players will already be involved in regular non-crypto economic activities. Why would they want t

Try codecks.io which I found because one of the devs posted here. It's like Trello on steroids (imports Trello boards, too). We switched our complex product development to Codecks almost immediately and are lovin' it.

Are you asking what the app is? It's called Mimix[0] after Vannevar Bush's proposal in the 40's. The eventual goal is to replace the word processor as we know it. [0] http://mimix.io

It's disheartening to think an app for reading text can't properly wrap or hyphenate it, like your home page. Once I saw that, I quit looking.

Yes, in the 80's and 90's we called it CASE (Computer Aided Software Engineering). It was just as fascinating then and equally impractical now. Text turns out to be a great, compact way to convey ideas or instructions which is the

To paraphrase Ansel Adams (who was speaking of cameras), there is no one best language only the best language for the project you're doing. It may very well be that Lisp is the right language for your project. That depends largely on w

I agree. The title itself is offensive and doesn't require further analysis. To hate yourself and your species enough to think the only world we know would be better without us is a personal point of malaise for the author and thankful

OP here. Mimix is a software system we're developing at my company which is the successor to Vannevar Bush's Memex system, Doug Engelbart's NLS, and Ted Nelson's Xanadu. Recently, we completed our Nebula deployment syste
