I installed the Oberon OS (A2) emulator and showed it to my friend. We burst out laughing at that program that makes a skeleton run across the screen. If you keep executing it, it just spawns more skeletons and we had a skeleton parade.

libmill and libdill are similar but different projects by the same author. I think he just let the libmill domain expire. What's funny is the site is a GitHub Pages site, so it's still there on the libmill repository, and could

I started reading this and taking the edx course that’s based on it (How to Code) the other week. I feel pretty comfortable reading code and modifying things, and finding documentation, but tend to get stuck deciding how my data structures

The thing that worries me is people trying to reconstruct features from other languages with generics. One of the things I like about Go is that no matter whose code you're looking at, it's almost certain that you're already

I appreciate the work the Go team put into pkg.go.dev, and I like the new features they've put in (e.g. flagging deprecated things, the search is great) and hope those get into godocs.io as well. But I really just don't care for h
