In fact the name "relational database" implies there are other kinds.

I've wanted to do something like this for quite a while! Of course I wanted to make my own OS, language and DB from scratch in order to do it, so naturally I've never gotten around to it. It goes to show that there is nothing new

Yes, the foundations of the constitutions are not the same, one of them has a mostly codified constitution, the other has a mostly uncodified (uncodified but mostly written down, that is not a contradiction!) constitution. They both have co

I think you have diverged too much...well from reality, in order to try to prove a point. Do you think most people, or lawyers, or judges in the UK spend their time trying to enumerate all the laws of the land before they proceed in their c

I believe interpretation is a part of the definition of a constitution, you do not, we have different definitions, oh well. I also believe the uncodified/codified distinction is not binary, it is obvious that the US constitution is far

I find it weird that people would downvote this, I know you should not complain about it, but this comment is correct. The UK does have a (uncodified) constitution. Also of note; even countries with a codified constitution have parts that a

The UK has an extremely entrepreneurial culture as well, which is shown in the data (number of businesses registered, number of startups, both per capita), it ranks very highly, along with other indicators of innovation, it might not be a

Other's have mentioned that Forth isn't an esoteric language, however if you want a Forth written for an esoteric language I have written one for SUBLEQ (see https://esolangs.org/wiki/Subleq ). Although SUBL

I have heard that this is how it is done before. I wonder how that works with a third party? If they happened to come across the binaries some how they could demand the source. I also wonder if that clause is enforceable.

Is there an implementation of an APL language (or other any other array language) written in * readable* C that is around 1000 LoC? There are for LISP, FORTH, Prolog, TCL and the like.

Ah yeah, I'm not looking for Forth work, it would be nice, but not likely. Just C/C#/.Net/Linux and Embedded work.

I had a lot of fun writing this and it is great to see this submitted here, I just did it to see what was possible. It is an incredibly niche processor with little practical use. If you have any questions let me know. I have also started co

I find those Schuko / Europlugs terrible, they never fit correctly (wildly different manufacturing tolerances between countries) and break easily.

I know that's what I do! It's a fun exercise, and Forth is uniquely suited to writing Forth interpreters. Forth really only has a few areas where it excels and they are incredibly niche ones at that.

I do not know how this can be justified at all. It does not make any sense.

The full quote would be "The dmac and smac are pretty self-explanatory fields. They contain the MAC addresses of the communicating parties (destination and source, respectively).", it does explain them. However, this is an article

As far as I am aware, this is just straight up is not true. Do you have a source for this? Because if the financial sector in the UK halved and moved into the Netherlands and Germany the UK would be doing much, much worse, and Germany much

Here's a 16-bit bit-serial computer I made and tested on an FGPA https://github.com/howerj/bit-serial . If you look at `bit.c` it looks like an ordinary 16-bit Accumulator based Virtual Machine with a few odd instr

Same with Natwest / Virgin. I do not think I have ever verified anything with SMS banking wise, sometimes you get alerts via SMS though.

You keep deliberately conflating energy and electricity. Importing energy and electricity is not the same thing. The UK cannot source its energy requirements locally but it can source electricity by importing energy and converting it to ele

The comment is harsh, but it is not fair. Nor is (most of it) relevant and it even contradicts itself in places. It is a list of hot takes designed to anger and provoke instead of elucidate anything as I have said something they do not like

I already know this, it doesn't change anything. Who is able to blockade the UK's access to oil, gas or uranium, all of which are much easier to stockpile than electricity? The only one with that capability is the USA. Who is able

I find that fact that the UK would depend on another country for power generation in a serious way really really dumb. There is no other way of putting it. If we did that we might as well sell off our armed forces and declare global peace u

Except that is not true, it is sometimes convenient, and sometimes very inconvenient and not wanted. My reasoning for file systems that are case sensitive is the following: 1. Some people want file systems to case sensitive. 2. Case sensiti

I was about to say the same thing, Apple have too much capital and they do not know what to do with it. It would be better to give it back to their investors instead of...this.

Does anyone know how much memory is available on board to each design for the tiny tapeout project? If each project could include something like a FPGA Block RAM I feel the project would have (much greater) utility and flexibility. Although
