To the article: It's fine to handle an explicit subset of a problem. What's not fine is not making this clear. Real software can generally have a well-defined domain and range, which this article muddies with its example. > T

Gee guys, where are the dipshits to remind us MicroSoft <3 open source and totally isn't just opportunistically fucking it over again? It's not as if they took a game that worked everywhere and have increasingly restricted it

I host the SMTP server I use and keep my programs on my personal website. By whitelisting I mean it's like when an e-mail field only accepts addresses from Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, and a few others. Realistically, very few people use

It's nice to see this taking the e-mail whitelisting approach, that is be aligned with one of these large corporations or we don't care . What's to stop someone from purposefully giving bad advice for his amusement?

I'll take the advice of this article lacking substance, and complain. Well, companies used to have employees write code, rather than stitch together random garbage written by random dipshits who could be tricked into using loose licens

If Kiwifarms broke the law, then that is a matter for law enforcement. It's not the purview of an internet cartel and hate mob acting as judge, jury, and executioner. Every defense I've seen of censorship is exactly like yours.

It's really disgusting to see someone argue that people don't want to pay for quality, when old phones worked. Now, the pilpul here will be to claim that those old phones totally didn't actually work, they just appeared to

I'll elaborate. Firstly, this may be a community of "professionals", but that term means something very different for programmers. No "professional" here is an engineer, as an example, because real engineers would

Such a saying is what the incompetent obsessively repeat to themselves. They can't stand by the thought of people who don't need an Internet connection to program, who don't copy and paste from the fools over at StackOverflo

The disgusting natures of UNIX, UTF-8, and the general culture here whose members don't understand that touching a computer (poorly) doesn't entitle them to dominion over the non computer-touchers is generally controversial on ora

It's no issue. > I had never thought about the "asymmetry" of putting control codes with the character codes in ASCII--it does seem illogical now that you point it out. Yes, this is why I call them insidious. The issue wit

I'm aware of the Scheme chips. I chose machine language because it doesn't need many names for code, and thus was suitable as a starting point for my work on textless programming. I've not reached out to John Cowan but think

Yes, I can elaborate: http://verisimilitudes.net/2018-06-06 This is my current progress: http://verisimilitudes.net/2022-06-13 However, that was somewhat a waste of time, so I also wrote this reflection on

I appreciate the praise. The base of much of my work involves removing what we currently consider to be text from computing, on both ends. An assembler with its language is inferior to my machine code development tool with an interactive

This is a disgusting perspective. The same people who champion descriptivism conveniently tend also to champion prescriptivism selectively, such as with the transexual madness over pronouns. No, I'm a prescriptivist, and I feel so st

Hello, unixbane. I believe we may be kindred spirits. Have an invitation to my website, which is mentioned in my profile here. We seem to agree on many things, such as the disgusting nature of UNIX, the WWW, and Unicode; I largely view t

My first thought, upon seeing this is licensed under the GPLv3, is that it wouldn't be legal to run under iOS, as the Tivoization aspect would come into play. However, as there is but one author, this issue doesn't materialize, a

I've now modified the article to include measurements and also point out that the program does, in fact, seem to largely comply with POSIX behaviour, although it doesn't assume no number shall exceed six digits or other things P

I do have some testing that showed me the Common Lisp was roughly the same speed as the C, when testing against a file of a few dozen megabytes. As I explain, I wasn't interested in optimizing it further, as I feel showing this achiev

That's interesting, because I also feel people don't appreciate computing history appropriately. If you'd care to learn some real history, I suggest you read The UNIX-HATERS Handbook : http://web.mit.edu/%7Es

Firstly with regards to the article, this is a neat environment and simple project, but lacks niceties even basic hardware such as the Atari VCS featured, including sprite handling and collisions thereof. When I start developing 6502 games

You wrote that after a mere twenty minutes. Compared to how you've treated other inflammatory topics, one can't help but wonder if this is a sore spot for you. In any case, it's amusing because I'm in that set that wou
