I loved that language. I actually forked it, used it for a lot of stuff, bloated it (started by just trying to port to x86-64, ended up with a mini-FORTH with regexes, FFI to C, etc.). I still use it every day, though mostly for doing mat

Looks like you are correct, yeah, and the raw logs show 7,410 of the 10,729 live instances have it. Lemme hack it in real quick; I can't put it onto the big pages and not sure how well adding another column to that table will work, bu

Believe it or not, the resource use is mostly bandwidth for that page. Something like 2MB of HTML; the actual data is mostly cached.

That'd be cool, but it just uses publicly available APIs for this. Most of the data like that isn't reported through the public APIs across various types of software. Bad data is tossed out (e.g., the you-think-your-fake-numbers

Ha, indeed. It seems to be up for me, but that's why I put it on the demo subdomain and left off HTTPS: it's a demo, not quite ready for production. (It's also getting flooded with vulnerability scanners at the moment, but

This applies if you're thinking of Twitter as a business or as a tool for mass-broadcast. If you think of something with a similar format but that fits a different space, that's the use for the Fediverse: it's more like USE

The main advantage of tools like this are that you can use them to communicate. When I don't have the need to do that, I don't use them. I try to use tools that will remember this sort of thing on their own. I keep notes on idea

Forth isn't super practical in such an environment; gForth in particular is a bit "large". (Not that this is bad, but it's of the second school the article mentions.) If you wanted, you could cobble together a Forth i

Yep, that's why I left it off the list. I've actually written some LambdaNative. Unfortunately, we ended up going with Cordova, but you can guess which one was more fun to write.

Stock Scheme does not have much in the way of interfaces to the outside world (long story) but there are several Scheme variants where people are doing larger projects. Racket is sort of a Scheme variant, and it seems to be the most popula

Not a false dichotomy at all. Ignoring that the size of the team is exactly two (and there's only so much you can keep in your head), when you have a metric, you optimize for it. It's not even a conscious process.

Well, PG presents them as different bets, one of which paid off. They were the same essential bet from Newton's perspective. For example, books on physics at the time referred to religion heavily, sometimes as a cornerstone of an arg

There wasn't quite the sharp division of disciplines, either. Thinking about it that way comes from the public school system (which the author ought to know, because if I'm not mistaken, he mentioned that in a previous essay). M

At the risk of getting downvoted myself, I wonder why all of your comments are getting downvoted. Is it such a terrible opinion that it doesn't even belong on HN? A lot of people turn off syntax highlighting. It can be legitimately

Unfortunately it just returns the code, not a compliant response (e.g., 405 should return an Allow: header).

Unfortunate that it's just a link to an image on Twitter, but not entirely surprising. Kicking off a thread to manage stdio is the usual solution, since even polling requires a syscall, which requires memory to change hands, which bum

It was a good thing. Not just for the standardization bodies, for everyone. The "Fierce Idiocy of 'New!'"[1] died down for a little while and briefly it was possible to rely on a stable development environment. Featur

The OS doesn't power down the antenna while there are open network connections. Did your tests wait long enough to turn off the antenna, was the test environment clean (i.e., nothing else using the network on the device, including you

Definitely performance is a nice benefit. I don't use AdBlock; I have a few thousand lines in my /etc/hosts that map various bad actors (vast chunks of Javascript that doesn't do anything useful, 1x1 .gifs, ads, annoyin

I've wondered about this while tossing around the idea with an old boss. LA is notorious for being a difficult place to build or expand a freeway, and the congestion problems are getting worse. It seems you have to get them pretty hig

Which seems to get missed, despite the name "Trollaxor" and the "hacked his router" comment in the article. Glad someone pointed this out.

Well, the Urbit essays (linked in the article) are one attempt to resolve it, but bitrot still remains unresolved. I don't think I wrote anything indicating otherwise. If it doesn't see the light of day, it dies; bitrot is a slower death, b

Since _why's stuff was open, he addressed bitrot in his (brilliant) novella. The article treats it some; the open-source remarks were about the code that you don't see, that suffers from being under lock and key as well as bitrot.

I am somewhat surprised, given the content, that no one has posted _why's "Final words". I happen to have logged it, and given the content, it seems very relevant: (08/13/2009 03:36:54 PM) twitter.com: _why: i thought that RIP was strictly
