It doesn't appear in the Readme because I wrote the Readme in 2011 before Sporth existed.

That's fine. Intelligence is an evolutionary dead end. It leads to unsustainable behavior. Maybe there are space-faring creatures, but I think they are more likely to be bacteria or maybe a tardigrade-like being that are hitching rides

I also knew that someone was going to comment the the beam reach was not necessarily the fastest.

This person is not a sailor. Sailing orthogonal to the wind, a "beam reach", is the fastest point of sail due to the lift of the sail.

Taking ships over vast distances to new worlds, meeting alien cultures, imperial conquests. That was the age of sail. It will never happen again like that.

When COVID hit, my American Airlines flight got canceled and when I went online to ask about getting credit, I got connected to a bot. When I asked to be connected to a real person instead of a bot, the person came online and said: "My

I saw Sun Ra and the Arkestra sometime in 1988 at Liberty Lunch in Austin, Texas. I believe it was just a few days before the "Live at the Pitt Inn" album was recorded in Japan. One of the best concert experiences I've ever h

I'd like him to make a more firm next step. He sometimes brings up some of the difficulties he has expressing things that would be simple in another language. I point this out. He understands that but still prefers to work in Scratch.

My son, 17, learned to program in Scratch, and wrote a lot of games in it. Since then he has learned Python, Lua (in which he wrote a space invaders), and Java in both high school and during the summer at Cornell. He can write in these lang

Try to get an AI to render an upside down face. In my attempts, they can't do it at all. Deformity results. It is outside the training data.

Smalltalk uses periods. One thing I like about C is that I can write .1 or 1. , but most languages these days force me to add the zero: 0.1 or 1.0 .

I find it ironic that you can't reverse a mistake on a site dedicated to a software that is all about reversing mistakes.

The legitimacy of a car title is backed by a government agency. What legal entity backs an NFT? To what authority do you go to enforce your ownership of a JPEG if there is a dispute? Will courts recognize an NFT in a case of disputed owners

Why do you start every reply with "Hey"? This thread reads like astroturf promotion.

Just FYI.. "This version only includes the API for creating and using GC references; it does not actually collect anything." [..] ".. the collector will not run; be aware that you will eventually run out of memory."

You parse the s-exprs and execute them in the context of a namespace of data constructors. Then you can have whatever data structures in memory that are defined by the constructors. This is NOT equivalent to having one data structure to cov

by lfnoise 5y ago
Yes. I never understood why JSON over s-exprs. The absence of maps is not a negative. S-exprs can represent maps. There are no maps in JSON, really anyway. It is just text. How that data is represented in memory is the output of parsing. Yo

Any programming language that has string operations as regular functions or methods that can be used unqualified, but puts math functions into a "Math" namespace so you have to write "Math.sin", has made a decision to pr
