It appears to be a fancy, colorized wrapper around https://ip-api.com written in PHP.
MonkeyIsNull··on Temptation of the Apple: Dolphin on macOS M1
Yup, sad -- that's EXACTLY what I thought it was as well.

MonkeyIsNull··on Show HN: Screen – screen sharing for remote work, by the cofounder of Screenhero
Next to crying right now .... I've been whining for YEARS that ScreenHero was gone. This is like Xmas all over again! Thank you thank you thank you!
MonkeyIsNull··on How to detect web bots?
Good response, I definitely never though of that before. Serious case where you don't want Bots buying stuff up.
MonkeyIsNull··on Ask HN: Books you plan to read in 2020?
He did write The Complete Guide to Fasting, which is excellent and covers all the science behind it. There is also Delay, Don't Deny: Living an Intermittent Fasting Lifestyle by Gin Stephens which is basically One Meal a Day, however she includes links to all the reports to everything she talks about in the book and yes, she actually read them and encourages others to do the same, not just believe what she says. There's always the fasting subreddit's wiki that has links to other info: https://www.reddit.com/r/fasting/wiki/fasting_in_a_nutshell
MonkeyIsNull··on Oh shit, git: Getting myself out of bad situations
> I'm not 100% sure what's going on under the covers.

This. A thousand times over. I like to see exactly what git is doing and when; I don't want any magic stuff under the covers done for me.

Here's some more info: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/4onxro/extern_os_a_n...
MonkeyIsNull··on O’Reilly Media has stopped retailing books directly on its ecommerce store
Thanks - it's the only format that I can read code in. I will be throwing more moola your way because of this.
MonkeyIsNull··on O’Reilly Media has stopped retailing books directly on its ecommerce store
Yeah, this is why I always buy direct from you guys. You do a bang up job of rolling out updates.
MonkeyIsNull··on On Loneliness
Little of what he taught came from the Theosophical Society, he broke with them relatively early in his life.
MonkeyIsNull··on Extensional Higher Order Prolog
This is fantastic, thanks for posting.
MonkeyIsNull··on Exercise 20: Zed's Awesome Debug Macros
Absolutely! C Interfaces and Implementations should be read by anyone coding C these days. Absurd how little known it is though.
MonkeyIsNull··on A Little Bit of Forth [video]
Yes, it's truly a joy to program in. It's also covered pretty well in Seven more languages in Seven weeks.
MonkeyIsNull··on A Double Eclipse of the Sun
"These aren't the tie fighters you're looking for."
MonkeyIsNull··on Prolog Programming Language (1997)
This looks amazing, thanks for posting.
MonkeyIsNull··on Prolog Programming Language (1997)
Not only is it worthwhile to learn, it's worthwhile to use for real world problems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_eYTctGZw8

From his blog: http://blog.ndrix.com/2014/10/how-we-use-prolog.html

MonkeyIsNull··on Rethinking Prolog [pdf]
Thanks for posting this, it's for projects like this that I always look through the comments. :)
MonkeyIsNull··on Rethinking Prolog [pdf]
Amen
MonkeyIsNull··on Rethinking Prolog [pdf]
Same experience with Prolog: I feel like I have to re-wire my brain every time I come back to it. Completely different way of solving problems.
MonkeyIsNull··on Secret menus: Fast food 'hacks' for in-the-know customers
I remember reading some pamphlet they had 20-some years ago about this, they had one (or two?) distribution centers for all their stores and wanted to keep the quality at a very high level. I assume they feel they can't expand and keep things the same. Then again, maybe the owners are just content with the way things have been going and see no reason to expand.
MonkeyIsNull··on Yeti programming language
Would be great to hear if anyone has any experience using this.

edit: did find this off the main page: http://chrisichris.wordpress.com/category/yeti/

MonkeyIsNull··on Clojure is imperative as opposed to declarative
> Clojure is functional because of it's use of concepts like "functions are first order objects", closure, higher order functions, etc. I would never consider Clojure imperative.

I would agree with that. Putting Clojure in the imperative camp seems a little skewed.

From the front page of clojure.org "Clojure is predominantly a functional programming language, and features a rich set of immutable, persistent data structures."

But I don't think that's his point as seancorfield pointed out.

MonkeyIsNull··on Clojure is imperative as opposed to declarative
You can reference a function before it's defined, just as he did in the C example: http://clojuredocs.org/clojure_core/clojure.core/declare
MonkeyIsNull··on OCaml: what you gain
Both are descended from ML, but have found a lot more "RealWorld" usage than ML. If you know ML it makes it a lot easier to learn Haskell or OCaml.
MonkeyIsNull··on Memepool is back, after 4yr hiatus
Memepool was awesome because it wasn't one of those sites, how to put it -- much better signal to noise ratio, maybe? My god, man, BRING IT BACK!!!!!
