   I read someware that in 2000 years the books we managed to save from the middle ages and up to about 1850 will still be around but anything printed after that will be gone because the paper of the modern age is to fragile to last.

   Rome was the fiber internet of those days. When west rome collapsed europe went back to dial-up.

   I understand that NFT bound objects would inevitably be called "CryptoArt", but what should we call things like Kryptos now? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kryptos

   Huh, I would have guessed that "kosher" had something to do with that blood was sometimes used in the boiling pans to clean the salt back when salt was produced by evaporating sea water. But apparently not.

   You are right of course. I was thinking specifically about the early PIC Microchip compilers for "C" where the weird banked memory and Harvard RISC architecture made the "C" you wrote for those essentially non-portable e

   There is a standard, sure. But there are also a lot of compilers out there and I would bet that all but a few has either a "this compiles c11 except for [list of unimplemented features]" caveat or non-standard extensions.

    I much prefer to have nazis out in the open where we can keep an eye on them than forcing them underground.

    He is not wanted by interpol as he was arrested in 2014 and has served his time in Swedish prison. He was asked if he was convicted of fraud which he was not.

    I had a bad experience trying to get into Elm. It's a nice enough language, but I found the community to be less nice. This was about when the version something.19 was released.

    While YAML has some warts, the "if" statement in there really cant be blamed on YAML as it does nothing but inserting a node in the object tree. You'd need something else to act on that node. I get what the author is saying t

    Always happy to learn, thank you! Clojure is my only real venture in to lisp land (I know some don't consider Clojure lispy enough to be a real lisp)

    Nice, should be easy in emacs. I'll try it! I'm currently on step 7 (quotes) of the MAL guide and my implementation lang is PHP, so this project hits close to home for me.

    Is the Phel code actually compiled to PHP? From the example in the "Getting started section" it looks like the generated php is a wrapper that loads the interpreter.

    Is there a way to drop out to the REPL from a running script? Kinda like settrace in Python

    Tom Scott had a TV career I think? I doubt he'd be interested in taking it up again, seeing that he does quite well for himself on youtube.

    So they say. But every architecture known to man already has a Forth implementation. So why bother make another when you can get busy doing useful stuff? I would say it's just for the fun of programming a Forth.

    I'd bet that most new Forth implementations are done for CPU:s that already have vastly more powerful languages available. So if someone want to get stuff done they would probably rather use a more productive language for that. But if

    Seems like it's a possibility at least. I'd be very very interested to know as well.

    I've always fought to stay a developer as well. It seems that as soon as I know a codebase well enough to be really productive, there is a "team lead" or "scrum master" role waiting. Once or twice I've even

    Yes, this was very well explained in an episode of half arsed history quite recently. The audience of this podcast is referred to as "sportsfans" by the host.
