I blame the unknown unknowns. I don’t haven’t learned Prolog yet. Alas, enlightenment still eludes me. (Agreed that TCL is pretty cool)

Lisp, Forth, Erlang, Smalltalk, and Rebol, so easily forgotten. All languages that multiply your insight into the nature of computer programming. A bit sad that many just stop at the first of these, and many more don’t even venture past the

Here’s an idea that’s been following me for a while, if you like low-level stuff: Make a toy OS that boots into a Lisp shell. Another to appreciate how fast computers that we call old effectively are: write a game for the shell. Depending o

I'm mostly thinking about video games. The problem is systemic. It's simply less risky to remake than to create a new IP

Entertainment companies have unlocked the infinite money glitch with remakes; not only companies but also people are afraid of trying something new, so why not profit from nostalgia. I called it years ago, but I didn’t expect how people wou

Statistically speaking, does extremely unlikely mean impossible? If it were replicable I'd raise my eyebrow, otherwise it's fair game, no? As someone that enjoys the unterminable complaints about RNG in the video game scene, I wou

Americans love their measurements in football stadium lengths or bananas, but they do not apply very well to thermal units. Also what is a ‘standard atomic bomb’? Presumably one kept in a vault at the American National Standards Institute f

I agree. Free Software is a good idea in concept, but it is the foremost reason there exist billion dollar tech monopolies today built on the free work of idealists worldwide. In the age of LLMs and entitled users, I must be selfish and can
