Yeah. This argument seems valid for an individual cell. But not for new cells…

You could join the Apple2 Slack, and ask if there's anything there that hasn't been captured. Signup: http://apple2.gs:3000/ Also, just show off pictures — people will be interested! :-)

Oh, and it's written in Go . (Cue incoming comments (a) asking me why it's relevant what language it's written in, and (b) talking about how much better it would be if it were written in Rust. :-) )

The paleotronic folks have been on fire lately. Their Apple II emulator, microM8 is fast becoming one of the most advanced, cross-platform emulators. https://paleotronic.com/microm8/

Anything that seeks to organize a group of humans is fundamentally political. A code of conduct that seeks to govern or guide how people interact is political. The de-facto emergent norms of how people interact _without_ a code of conduct i

That email is just so Stallman. You have to enjoy his single-mindedness.

Of course a Code of Conduct is a political document.

Apparently this was a research project. Anyone have links to papers, conclusions, results? Should be interesting…

It might be more similar to signing up unsuspecting people to operate a jackhammer, when _you_ know, because of past experience, that the vibration will give them nerve damage. Then you hire more people…

Q: What is up with Loving County, Texas? I'm curious whether there's a data problem, or something else going on. (It's the county along the northern border of West Texas that lights up often as you randomly mouse around the m

btw, if you're in Atlanta, or interested, you should come have (free) lunch with us sometime at Square Atlanta. If you're experienced, and interested in Go+Java infrastructure/tooling work, hit me up: I'm trying to help

There's a certain critical mass to it. We moved out to SF for five years while I worked at YouTube, then back to Atlanta to be close to family (and afford a house). There are two or three awesome places to work in Atlanta. In SF I knew

It's interesting that they're comparing Go the language and Rails the framework. Obviously, it's apples-to-oranges, but it makes sense that people would think about it that way.

I upvoted it after reading your comment…

:-) Nice graphs, and very nice analysis. It's cool to see how washing out the density leaves the geographic factors more clearly visible.

Your first link goes nowhere, btw…

That site is terrible. I chose “the squeaking sound chalk sometimes makes” and picked “Concept” as the first thing. It asked me 20 questions that only apply to physical objects, like “Is it larger than a microwave oven.”

Oh wow. I haven't seen those names in a loooong time. I used to lurk and follow the DotGNU mailing lists avidly :-)

(a) Maybe the simulator uses ECC RAM (b) Maybe the simulator's world is as similar to our world as the Game of Life is to Earth.

Everyone loves to compare web pages to Moby Dick (I guess the Bible is out of vogue). But Moby Dick has pictures, as do web pages. I know they're still overburdened with crap — mostly advertising — but at least do the comparisons prope

I can't believe that discussion (now un-commentable) didn't include a link to http://awfullibrarybooks.net/ . Good stuff.

Mea culpa. I think I was using “The Timeless Way of Building” as shorthand for “Pattern Language”. Or at least, I was thinking of the list of desirable properties rather than the method of construction. Of course, if you designed and built

I took this as an initial exploration of genetic algorithms for architecture. As such, the idea is more interesting than the specific parameters and weights chosen here. You'll notice as you scroll down that this article _does_ vary th

I love this. It makes me believe that our sci-fi future might be more in line with the Timeless Way of Building than with cinderblock utilitarianism. I too would love to see a 3D environment built from these, so we could get a feel for them

This trend of people putting things on hacker news that weren't targeted at hacker news, and then hacker news readers complaining that they aren't written appropriately to target hacker news is weird to me. If you're already
