I don't think it is needed. I am a hobby programmer and not even remotely competent but I can whip up GUIs in Tk with little effort and I find it quicker and easier than the graphical UI designers.

One of the very few softsynths that has good interface for touchscreens, think it is the only one I have found that I actually enjoy using. Not a big fan of its sound, just not what I am after, but I don't mind it and it works great as

When I found myself in your situation I went to manual backups and regular cleaning of my computers/backups. If it is important I back up immediately, if it is something I will not need regularly access too it gets taken off the comput

Oak galls have a much high tannic acid content than any other part of the tree, 4 or 5 times higher if memory serves. It is also much easier to get to the tannins than in the wood which has better uses like lumber and fuel.

>As with everything else about the F-1, even the gas generator boasts impressive specs. It churns out about 31,000 pounds of thrust (138 kilonewtons), more than an F-16 fighter's engine running at full afterburner, and it was used t

How does "that you've never seen" not convey that sentiment? Sure it is hyperbole but that hyperbole seems well founded since the only people who have likely seen it are those which followed concept cars of the 80s or stumble

Back in the 80s one of my father's summer past times was test driving cars. Once a week or so he would stick me on his lap in our Dodge Horizon and have me work the wheel while he took care of the pedals and gear shift with a Camel in

I made no objection, I just find it interesting and curious, which is what this site is about and the posting guidelines being anything which gratifies intellectual curiosity. I find usage very interesting.

Android lacks Crostini and Linux on Android options are no where near as good as Crostini. If I go laptop I lose Android apps. Both are less capable for my needs even if they have better specs. So I can carry two devices or one that does ev

Task singular, maybe. But I said tasks, plural, which implies compromise. Tell me, what tasks did I buy the Duet for and explain to me how a full PC will do them all better.

The Duet is not a laptop, its a Chrome tablet with a detachable keyboard so you can use it as a small laptop or a proper tablet and you get Chrome's linux dev environment tossed into the deal unlike the vast majority of tablets.

He is not claiming it to be a best device and clearly says it is deficient in most everyway but the complete package results in something so useful and handy and easy to carry around that it makes up for all of its faults. A favorite is gen

So I am just seeing Tcl and Forth everywhere. You go a bit over my head with your explanation but you have given me enough to sort this all out myself, pointed out a few gaps in my general understanding of things. Thanks.

How I understand it is that Lisp has syntax but lacks a grammar, the syntax is just very simple. Essentially the same as Forth and Tcl, everything is either a command or data, a result of the simple single pass left right parsing. But I am
