This couldn't have come at a more opportune time. My 11th gen Framework just gave up the magic smoke last night, which was a frightening experience. The Framework has given me a bewildering litany of issues over the years, and I now ju

9front has quite a nice implementation. It provides a unique, parsimonious UI. It's also very little code! https://git.9front.org/plan9front/plan9front/427e868e2be75f2... Jj is arguably also in this vein, alb

You should come back. APL has considerably modernized in the intervening 50 years, and with data parallelism gaining ever more market share, the timing is perhaps ripe...

Recently, I was surprised at how affordable LTO cassettes sell for. The data/cost ratio is extremely high. However, I've been unable to find drives under several thousand USD. What hardware do hobby archivists usually work with?

You mean the executable YAML claims? Some are explicitly listed as for the older spec, but indeed a few are for 1.2. However... If you configure your YAML loader to run arbitrary, input-controlled deserialization code, then of course you&#x

That site's listed complaints are all either about a really old YAML spec or about self-inflicted, unrelated technical debt. Granted, Python and other popular languages are also on an ancient YAML version for some inexplicable reason..

Good material, targeted at undergraduate or advanced high school level. I've been slowly reading Agner Fog's resources. The microarchitecture manual is incredible, and pertinently, the section on branch prediction algorithms I fin

Good try, plant. We're onto you. If we're going to agree on anything, I just wish consciousness discussions could agree on some phenomenological referent(s) for the term "consciousness". The word is used in a way that is

Genode / SculptOS[0] go this direction. Before starting any process, you craft a view of the hardware resources it will see. Applications come with resource request definitions which you can satisfy by attaching real, virtual, or null

This was going through my head, too. Though I am somewhat doubtful whether it would be a win on Linux. Mk's ergonomics come from leveraging the cohesiveness of Plan 9 as a system, IMHO. That said, the automatic variables ($target, $ste

Ooo. Very cool. You just set off a storm of interesting connections for me. Assuming some ergodic process for distributing wealth then the asymptotic expectation for wealth inequality reduces to looking at random integer partitions. Blah bl

In practice, maybe! I'm really trying to play as fairly as possible, though. The original suggests that ascention and azimuthal data might need to be treated separately. We really don't know, though. The basic call graph shape of

Not that I know of, unfortunately. This is, IMHO, the biggest pain point of APL pedagogy at the moment. I'm actually working on some resources, but they're still gestating. For non-event driven systems, the short story is to organ

Unlikely, at least for what I think you mean by "readable" here. APL isn't really one of these exhibitions of computational simplicity in the way of the languages you mention. It's inventor, Kenneth Iverson, was more foc

Oh, cool. A couple years ago I spent a few days disassembling a small x86-64 binary by hand. Getting familiar with the encoding was a lot of fun! The following reference was indispensable: http://ref.x86asm.net/
