Fish farms are concentration camps for fish, same goes for the rest of the meat industry. The reason they need all the antibiotics is because the animals are so sick they just wouldn't survive without. Many still don't, it's

I thought the fact that he buys and injects blood from teenagers to (possibly) extend his own pathetic life would have proven that much by now. Someone said something about it being easier to pass camels through eyes of needles than for ric

Yeah, keep telling yourself that. Do you actually write code to solve problems yourself or are you more into paying others to do the same? I honestly don't know which alternative would be worst here. What I do know is that this attitud

It's a work in progress, but this is the longest piece of code so far. It's the start of a simple booking system. https://github.com/basic-gongfu/cixl/blob/master/examples/bo...

I'm pretty sure the radiation would do more harm. I'm not saying it's healthy, I'm just saying it's not the same thing as the crap the research is based on. And I have quit for longer periods without seeing much dif

Now I'm curious, why did he quit? Smoking regular cigarettes with foam-filters kills me fast, but smoking organically grown tobacco without additives and filters doesn't seem to do much harm from my experience. I'm pretty su

Agreed, it needs momentum to keep going and that's where I could use some help right now. But it also becomes less of a struggle since I don't have to constantly invent the ground I'm walking on, and since it's now getti

Ok, now I get where you're going. x and y share the same type, just like 'int x, y' in C. That's what happens when you try to explain two concepts at the same time, my mistake. You have a point with the years, I'll

First of all, thanks for taking the time. I'll try to address your questions in the same order, feel free to yell if I miss anything. 'T0' will be substituted for the type of the first parameter (indexing starts from 0) on ev

Ah, epic swoosh :) They fill a clear purpose as a step between commas and periods, which allows putting more structure into sentences and helps express meaning more clearly. I've been told that they're more commonly taught and use

Which usage of semicolons are you referring to? The only one I can think of is using them to terminate definitions. I realize it's slightly unorthodox, like most of cixl; but many languages seem to be fine with using semicolons to term

The principles of Forth sit at the bottom of most languages, though most like to keep that power to themselves. And I've always felt that the Forth language suffered from being so damn dogmatic and protective about the obvious lack of

Well, from one angle it's statically typed; names never change their types within a scope. It's also strongly typed, more so than common scripting languages. On the other hand it has a very dynamic, gradual feel to it; to the poin

The fact that no one else was doing it started to feel like an obligation. Cixl is an attempt to find a middle way; a more permissive, less religious, yet modern and convenient approach to solving problems in code. Unlike most other languag

You're welcome :) If you had any idea how many hundreds of thousands of locs I've thrown away over 30 years. Yet I wouldn't want to be anywhere else, and it was all leading here. These days I'm comfortable just going wit

You will get the experiences you need to go where you're going; being fired for pointing out obvious is not that bad, you did nothing wrong, it's their shitty karma. Can't you see the irony in doing something like that on fac

Sounds like you're preparing/triangulating to me, give it a few years and I can almost promise it will all make sense. Just accept that you're not in control and follow your intuition and all will be fine :)
