Thanks for reminding me to check if the REGEXEXTRACT, REGEXREPLACE, and REGEXTEST functions had landed for me yet. They have! Good, because sometime in 2027 the library providing RegEx in VBA will be yanked. https://youtu.be&#x2F

MS Office Tools menu has a "Spreadsheet Compare" application. It is quite good for diffing 2 spreadsheets. Of course it cannot catch logic errors, human or ML.

Thank you for your tone. I agree! Had Starting Forth, Thinking Forth, and Elizabeth D Rather books at one time. Reread TCL the Misunderstood (Antirez), every few years for the memoizing bit. Etc.

I will read it, closely, but was all hopped-up expecting some new implementation, as I am down the Smalltalk rabbit hole lately, including watching lots of old videos. And perusing https://selflanguage.org

Somewhat orthogonal, but if the spider is not a Brown Recluse (if you live where those are), then it is competition for them.

No mention of PicoLisp (application server, embedded Prolog, etc, etc...) or Dylan. No way Teller saw them and they didn't make the list.

See https://www.felienne.com/public-appearances and ctrl-f for Excel. Especially the videos, like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdfNvYPxkOY . Then have a gander at https://support.microsoft.com

Out of my depth here, but I do have 5 Prolog books I can't seem to let go of. I used to dabble. A lot. Out of all my numerous prog-lang infatuations, only 3 have stuck: Erlang, Prolog and Picolisp. At most, 2 degrees of separation betw

Exciting! Was Rebol user for years, dabbled in Factor. Picolisp too. All great for interactive use, but the latter two seemed to have more learning curve than I could commit to. Eyeballed R3 and Red-lang but went with Python 2, then 3. Sign

jql homoiconicity looks rather ... Lispy. Like you could use it on itself, write "Macros", etc.

Glad to see things like this. Think Phix is contender in the space. 100% RosettaCode coverage in 2021.

Years ago heard some airports used to use Powerpoint and DDE for flight info displays. Data was coming from ?? probably a mainframe. Haven't looked into it even though I have a use case similar to what fast-food outfits use to coordina

That little vocal flourish she does after "...stick around", and her expression, sends me into outer space.

My favorite read in, I think, years. Great seed (prompt?) for a novel, lol. Better communication. Improved cognition. No need for paper clips!

That's all true. I am biased because I am responsible for keeping hundreds of devices calibrated, and keeping a lab within 2C of 23C. The CLT implies that the sample mean is more likely to be close to the true population mean as the sa

My (mis-?) understanding of the Central Limit Theorem is that the average of >30 measurements increases the accuracy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_limit_theorem

Tunney-jart, ape, etc are so impressive... I'd like to see some real competition for Access, at least on Linux and/or BSDs. Because Access is untouchable in it's space. Because it _is_ the space. redbean looks very tasty inde

Very interesting. Call me lazy, but I'd like to see a demo - animation or video to help me grok it. Bookmarking.

For anyone considering zero-calorie fasting for more than 1 day, please read up on it first. Pay special attention to the need for salt. You need to start every day of the fast with a glass of saltwater, on the order of 3 teaspoons of salt.

Granted I'm no Pythonista, but I have a little script I wrote years ago in Python 2.7 and again in 3....,uh, 3.8 now. IPython 3.8.10, that is. Use it daily for about 15 years now. Anyway, I wanted to reproduce this gist, due to a fasci
