I really fail to see the distinction between writing some functions in a language, compared to a “new language” or dsl or something. Maybe it’s just my past experiences clouding my judgement, but if I see something saying it has its own lan

Off topic: is it just me or is Twitter becoming much more hostile to users who aren’t logged in? I can’t click anything (mobile safari) without being nagged by a modal to sign up/log in.

I am looking to do something like this as a Christmas gift for my son. However, this looks pretty labor-intensive (300 bodge wires!). I have dabbled with arduino in the past but I am no expert with hardware. Does anyone have suggestions of

I don’t think you’ll find many programmers who “want” things like this to happen. We just want to create useful things for end users, but we are driven by business requirements - not our own desires, or codified professional standards. I, f
