From such a futuristic point of view, I guess you are right. However, it will likely take a few decades until your wish is granted and everything has been rewritten language X. Calling all interfaces your OS gives you legacy is pretty f

The quine generator example is indeed very impressive... Ed Kmett did a live coding series on his attempt port kanren to Haskell. Hope guanxi makes some progress soon.

Thanks for sharing, this was an extremely interesting read. I am somewhat confused regarding casing. In particular, the equivalence example is all lowercase, while other examples seem to indicate that variables should be uppercase. Is so

It is not only legacy reasons why people are "stuck" with C++. In embedded and real-time applications, using a high level (GC'ed) language like Haskell is totally out of the question. D and Rust might be feasable, but typic

There is a point, but it is overstretched. make_overloads is actually a cool trick. Yes, it would be nice if there was a version of this in the standard library, but then again, it is just a few lines of magic. That will not be the first

Since I dabbled in wanting to learn Prolog for the umteenth time a few days ago, I can't help but notice that this looks like something which could be a nice challenge to implement in Prolog. I also envy jugglers for this simple notati

"The Story of Augustus who not have any Soup" is the english title of "Die Geschichte vom Suppen-Kasper" as far as I was able to figure out.

Well, I have a Sonos One SL, so I know why you like the HomePod form factor. but I explicitly got the SL version because I really dont see any use for a voice assistant. I think the success rate of playing specific artists or tracks might

Same here. I really wonder how these products sell. The most basic things dont work. And if they are confused, then for real. For about 2 years, when Siri happened to misunderstand the command "Call ..." it would answer "

Fairy tales need to be a bit grimm (pun intended). They are supposed to teach about hardship and the difference between good and evil. You can only show the contrast if you actually have some evil to talk about. A child dying in the flame

I am not sure that is as universally true as you believe. In the old ages, an apprentice actually had to move to a different area to be given the master title. I have no english references for you right now, and I am probably lacking the

I very much love cats. But I have never heard the word ailurophile before. Thanks for this link. You learn something everyday.

You're such a sweet and kind individual. Again, no worries, my social interactions have been put to such a minimum that me dying in my flat will effectively be the same as me dying out there in the woods as you'd like it to be.

No worries. While I can not speak for others, I am 1. not afraid of needing medical treatment, and 2. if I did, I am willing to not accept any life prolonging measures. The things I have heard from people in the past few months saying to

I still need to adjust to the new world order where bringing up unusual perspectives intentionally is viewed as striking flamewars. I totally admit to having spet over a line by using swear words, and I apologize for that. As you have not

Thanks for posting this. While the rate of cases in my vascinity isn't as high as your seems to be, I only hear about mild to "strange weird cold". I am glad for them. Doesn't seem like the big danger the media is try

Please dont try to belittle my experience by implying things you have no knowledge about. Rogue doctor? no. I was used for an experiment in the year 1986 by the head ophthalmologist of the biggest clinic in the second largest city of the c

No, I am sharing my personal experience to allow people lacking empathy like you to understand why sceptics might not be as happy with the current outlook as you are. I dont give a fuck about scientific evidence, personal experience is all

Since someone just self-censored, I can only repeat that. As a young healthy individual, I'd much rather catch COVID then get vaccinated with a wide-spread mRNA experiment. In my childhood, I have been used by a doctor for an experim

When I read postings like yours, I sometimes really wonder who pays people like you to spread FUD like this. "kill your elderly". Dont you feel bad for doing what you do? Seriously, please, reconsider the way you connect with fe

I once wrote a patch to Emacs to make it possible to build it as part of buildroot. The problem here is that buildroot does cross-compiling, and Emacs has no native support for cross-building. However, qemu was able to help by emulating t

I see what you mean. Still, I have had that happen to me once. It was just for 2 years, but I was still pretty surprised when she came home from visiting her adventist church, telling me she will move out. When I asked about the whys, she

I love my X1 (also 7th). This is the laptop which made me retire my actual desktop. Bought a docking station and a MOTU 8A for sound connectivity, and have no need for a classical desktop since. I am not into gaming or graphics though. S

Sometimes the keyboard is all that is needed to put a stop to non-ascii names. I remember when I was traveling through Ecuador with a friend of mine named Jörg. We ended up renaming him to Jorge whenever we had to buy a bus ticket :-)

Could it be that the social norm changing and divorces usually being a pretty one sided thing when it comes to financial loss, that marriage has become less attractive to those who are supposed to provide the main income and also pay after
