Omg I’m totally starstruck now! Purely out of curiosity, was that all a volunteer open source effort or was the entire DJGPP group acting as a consulting organization?

Random drive-by nitpick: > From the beginning of the development, id had requested from djgpp engineers that their DPMI client would be able to run on djgpp's DPMI server but also Windows 95 DPMI server. I'm pretty sure that

About the ordered keys, most good languages have an ordered map type, either by accident or by design. Those few languages that don’t would need a list of key-value pairs. Given that this is for config, the performance cost of linear-scanni

A good configuration syntax isn’t supposed to be exciting.

I don't like this article all that much but I do like the MAML format the author wrote this to promote. It seems like it’s everything that’s good about JSON, plus everything fixed for human writing, and nothing more . Hats off, wish m

I don’t understand what you mean with “Dialog”. This is a language right? And not a UI?

I think the real answer is "because LaTeX does it that way and everybody inventing their own fancy math syntax used a lot of LaTeX".

Nice! I was confused about your "Why AsciiMath" section, which doesn't say anything about AsciiMath. It's also unclear to me what the difference is between Mathup and AsciiMath - you write that Mathup is inspired by it b

How does this work? Why would people let randos use their home internet connections? I googled it but the companies selling these services are not exactly forthcoming on how they obtained their "millions of residential IP addresses&quo

You can, but now you have to be honest about why.

What a weird site. Am i getting it right that this "Deckard" was the code name for the Frame, it's out now, but the makers of the site went through all that trouble make a dotcom and a pedantic design but can't be bother

FYI ChatGPT has a “custom instructions” setting in the personalization setting where you can ask it to lay off the idiotic insincere flattery. I recently added this: > Do not compliment me for asking a smart or insightful question. Dire

And? How does that give the ffmpeg authors a power over Amazon? (Hint: it doesn’t and the guy we’re discussing is spewing nonsense for maximum retweets)

Maybe they had a local llm write it but the memory bandwidth was too low for a decent answer.

Cool! If I may ask, what made you settle on the double dash to disambiguate content from tags? Like is it some sort of nod to SGML from way back when? It seems like an odd choice to me at first glance, but I bet it was thought about long an

Enum.map(&String.to_integer/1) vs .map(&:to_i) To me the latter is no less clear so yeah, substantially more. For context I write Elixir once a week and Ruby once a decade. In particular in this case elixir’s (and erlang’s) ari

I dunno, to me that seems like all YAML's mistakes all over again. I quite like the conciseness, and significant whitespace seems like a good match here, but the double hyphen thing really seems odd to me. And the syntax is so hard to
