The choice of GPL doesn't seem to be hurting the Linux Kernel. I doubt it'll hurt a package manager either. Plenty of Debian infrastructure software is also GPLv3. At any rate, the choice to go "have a pure base" is th

I don't think it's intended as that slang... I think it's probably in the scheme tradition of self-deprecating conspiratorial names... I suspect it's meant to invoke that theme. Not to mention that "bash" sound

Hi! I'm one of the co-authors of ActivityPub, and I agree with you. I wrote a very out-of-date writeup about bridging ActivityPub and P2P networks some time ago: https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot5-boston&#x2

Ah, Mark Miller on promises! I am building a system (Spritely Goblins) which is very inspired by another system largely designed by MarkM, the "E" programming language. I'm borrowing most of the way promises work in E in Go

Heya! Nice to re-see you :) I appreciate that and am thrilled when I hear that enthusiasm rubs off. I promise all this game stuff amounts to something interesting in relationship to the federated social web, even if it isn't obvious

Oh, nice to see this getting attention on HN! Author here, happy to answer any questions about how this was made, though I'll answer a few things up front: - It's made in Racket, and as for why there's a whole section about t

Hi! Author here... actually it does use unicode (which we'll use to mean non-ascii at the moment, even though ascii is part of unicode (pedantry, pedantry)) for the starfield at the moment, those are braille characters so that it can

Hi, Chris Webber here. You're quoting my blogposts out of context. Yes, the standardization process was a difficult one. Standards efforts often are, and social web ones especially. Nonetheless I think we did a good job. The purpose

Apparently we've had very different experiences. - Yes, there are some quirks in the standard library, but overall most of it seems very well designed. Having spent a bunch of time in Python, which also has a standard library with I&#

It's one person doing the recordings and has been the same the last few years iiuc. They were just under-resourced I believe, and last year especially. They're doing a damn good job given the constraints they've been puttin

I haven't gotten a chance to update the website style since I set it up about 13y ago... it indeed could use a number of css tweaks to be usable on mobile devices, which weren't really available when I set it up.

There's a nice FFI for C stuff, but writing glue for C++ is more work.

Hackett could really use some people who are excited about the intersection of lisp and haskell and want to build languages to join in on hacking on it :) I think there are quite a few of those people... maybe that gives some hope for contr

Hi jordigh! (Historically) lead developer and co-founder of MediaGoblin here (and ActivityPub spec co-author/editor, so I have more than a bit of insight/bias I think). You're not wrong. And neither is the parent post! Med

Hi. Co-editor of ActivityPub here. Nothing about ActivityPub's design is Twitter-esque specific. In fact it largely comes from pump.io's design which is much more Facebook-like than Twitter's design. We also built Activit

Yes, it's best to use nutritional yeast for savory foods. It really does bump up the umami flavor pretty well, and I think it tastes good, but I actually use it more for the flavor than for any nutritional aspect. Common uses in my

I've found I can get nutritional yeast comparatively cheap from the local co-op bulk bin. But full ACK that not everyone has such an option. But... you can also get it online for fairly cheap! Here's a pound for less then 12 dol

I know quite a few people employed working on Clojure. It's true that none of them are spectacularly large corporations, but there are quite a few companies out there using it day to day.

One of the big challenges mentioned with promises is that you have to kind of commit to promises linking to promises... this is a common problem with async systems added later, where you have to "line them up like gears", and you
