None of this was forgotten. If they extended their study to a month's worth of -20F, all of that mass will cease looking so attractive. It will work well if all you care about is keeping your house above freezing but most do not consid

I was talking about more than just a literal port, running with it is broader than just a literal port. I guess my general point is that I am disappointed that all these releases of historical code have so little to show for being released.

When this got released I really expected someone in the opensource community to run with it, but as far as I know no one has. Back around 1990 a Graphic designer that had his office n the same building as my mom worked in let me copy his Ph

Japanese culture is objectively more interesting than the politics of other people.

Politics are off topic and we do our best to keep them off the front page.

The methods left me feeling fairly confident that if a thread survived on the front page with the people currently online, it would be a shitshow. Wait a few hours before posting or email the mods.

HN did not ban it, the community flagged it. I started flagging these threads because people started playing the victim and did not offer anything other than spamming the same thing over and over. If a topic gets flagged, wait 6 or 12 hours

Can you give a rundown on how it differs from lilypond? What deficiencies you are addressing?

by ofalkaed 10mo ago
Many flag political/politically charged topics. The arguments which such topics often result in tend to overflow into other threads.

I think this space is just about to get really interesting. Historically when a craft/skill becomes automated it pushes that craft/skill to explore all those nooks and crannies which the automation can not reach, build around and

The article is about more than just that one monument and has a few contemporary examples as well.

Most of the languages on the list have not been maintained in decades with many being for functionally extinct if not completely extinct systems. It is not really a list meant to guide you to a language to use, it is more about historical&#

Parenthesis used to decrease precedence? Everything outside of the parenthesis will be done before what is in the parenthesis?

Who said anything about big stores? Every big city I have lived in has had a stadium and parking lots owned by either the stadium or third parties which allow tailgating and I have been to/was involved in a good many events held in pri

Cities own parking lots but privately owned parking lots are generally easier to get access to for events, far less red tape and who ever owns it gets brownie points with the community.

I am not talking about political borders. The countries of the new world are completely separated from the culture of the land, uncharted territory.

Every parking lot is an opportunity for community. In my experience tailgating is considerably more than minutes and has a very strong community. Admittedly I do not have much experience with tailgating but my limited experience strongly su

Tailgating is American and is community.

I remember when this was new and it was still possible to conceive of the internet as finite. Simpler times. Is it possible to view the internet as finite these days? Is it actually possible to turn out the lights (touch grass) these days?

by ofalkaed 10mo ago
Because we have mainstreets, buildings, blocks, community centers, parks, American-style squares, and so on. The sense of community that Americans are hungry for is ultimately the post war sort that has been dying out in recent decades; the

Infinite scroll should be outlawed. Rainbow indentation and opening links in new tabs would be nice although I think rainbow could result in ambiguous colors?. Embedding videos could possibly get me to switch if added, but maybe not, I thin

I used Windows 11 almost daily for a month, but I never connected it to the internet so it never bothered me with asking about random stuff. I just played a few games for old times sake because I can't be bothered to install wine and 3

Within the context of the four languages you listed and your example, I don't think Forth word vs function is merely terminology, it tells us a great deal of useful and important information. You clearly were able to grasp that but you

I was probably 15 when I decided that I would achieve fame as a frail old man, that is still my goal in life and I probably have 25-35 years left to achieve that. Why are the young in such a hurry?
239.
by ofalkaed 10mo ago
Forth words are not functions and if you try and use them like functions, things will get messy. You should never have things like "a b c d e" in Forth, you should have "abcde," a single word with a descriptive name buil

Last night I decided to take a break from the digital world and started on making a guitar. Leaning towards something in the style of Lacôte[0] but not sure, ordered a book on Vicente Arias[1] and might order a couple other plans to conside
