   a b c d e f g h i j and (a (b c d) (e f) (g h (i j))) are about as meaningless as each other to me with just letters, in Forth you build a sort of minimal vocabulary for the problem at hand and so you have a better idea of wh

   I think the actual pictures of the tree worked out quite well, just not the vectors.

   Tolerable is a synonym of sufferable. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

   The font is hard to read. It's a nice thoughtful project but seems to not have 'worked' as a functional font. But if I see it used on a blog somewhere now I'll probably remember it and have a chuckle.

   C replacements always seem to have noisier syntax, and not nearly enough motivation to switch from C. And if I could have been tempted with templates and a more intelligent type system I would have switched to a restricted C++ subset years

   Easily the best ZX Spectrum emulator is fuse, which is not on GitHub as far as I know. http://fuse-emulator.sourceforge.net/

   That's how many people write 19 cents. For some people a decimal point is the thing that goes between dollars and cents. Yes, not a very rigorous system, not something you'll see in engineering or science, but something I see on s

   So that you can call it in different threads or in a signal without clobbering another invocation's state.

    This is the right attitude, sometimes you really do need the duct tape approach.

    Unfortunately I know people that have died fully dosed, from COVID. The mortality rate has always been "low" but it's higher among very elderly, and especially among men. I think it's bad taste to start speculating if so

    The fact they're not willing to share it raises eyebrows... security through obscurity eyebrows.

    Credit to Oxide, the fact that they're finding this stuff implies they really know their way around their hardware/firmware. This finding actually gives me confidence in what Oxide are doing.

    I find it very hard to believe NXP will open source their design, given that many of the logic blocks are probably used across their whole company. At best maybe they'll share code with Oxide under a hefty NDA.

    Okay less maintainable if it breaks but ... will it really break? I've done loads of miles on my bike with derailleur gears and that's not shown any sign of wear or failure.

    Yep but can they reproduce it? When we say "low probability" we're acting like it's truly random, but in reality they could have stumbled across steps that reproduce it very frequently.

    C is still a programming language, even if you are frustrated with its ecosystem/standard.

    "To Save C" C is not going to 'die' over these issues. And frankly "new features" in the upcoming C standard will not make or break C, unless you consider C to only be the ISO standard efforts.

    A reason not mentioned is that testing public methods only is more black box testing. It's important to do this not just to allow significant changes to the implementation without affecting the test, but also because if you tie testing
