We did play it a lot as kids, meaning my parents, me and one of my brothers - it's pretty popular in German-speaking countries (well, for obvious reasons)^^

Don't you have any problems with the locking mechanism being a bit flimsy? I agree it's a great knife, especially for the price, but the lock rattles around, even when I put it in place very forcefully... May just be my knife though.

It's probably not impossible - this guy[0] has made a midi-to-text converter, which i've been trying to use to make some simple tracks. With moderate success, but that's more my lack of practice and musical knowledge.

edit: i forgot to mention that it's a completely different format - but it shows what's needed for such a parser.

Whoa - he's responsible for infiniminer? Considering Minecraft was built on top of it, I wonder how much credit he's been given...

Also, most of these games actually look like you could learn something from them, while having fun...

>>Colour would be nice too, but I guess that's impossible.

Well, not possible yet[0]. In a few years the technology might be refined enough though. I also heard that the refresh rate is in the range of minutes for now, but let's hope that'll change soon :)

Edit: added quote I was responding to

There's other languages with rather powerful macro systems too, red for example: http://www.red-lang.org/2016/12/entering-world-of-macros.htm...

I call fish from my bashrc (because I want it to be my standard shell, but It can cause problems with certain scripts)

I've aliased push to git push, and done the same with git commit.

Edit: Of course the aliases are in my .fishrc, but it's the same in the end :)

In case of HhGttG, are you referring to the first Book, or to the whole series? I'm personally most fond of "Goodbye, and thanks for all the Fish" Mostly because it makes me so goddamn happy :)

That's a nice way of sharing notes - nowadays a trello board or something of the sort might be more accessible to the masses, but this format has its merits.

For anyone using org-mode - is this approach similar? (I mean sure, it's much simpler, but in principle it's almost the same, right?)

That sounds interesting - if I can compile to everywhere from linux, I might give it a shot. The language itself or its reputation is not a problem to me, as long as the syntax isn't quite brainfuck-like and the performance not completely abysmal, I'm fine.

Did you know Carmine is still in use as food coloring (E120)? The thought of having ground up bugs in my food is a little offputting, honestly...

And hey, at least you can't accuse them of clickbait-ism ;)

Honestly, many apps could just as well be developed with red[0], maybe not in javascript, but with the smoothest cross-platform compilation I've ever seen.

Runs in 1mb of ram, and the download size of most apps made with it won't exceed that either. It's no C for sure, but it's really amazing to have cross-platform gui-support bundled into the language itself (windows & mac is ready, android and linux are in the works)

So yes, no re-use of webdev skills, but a really fun language, and immediate results - had I known about red before javascript, I would've never picked up JS.

In the case of reddit I heard, that - at least in the very early stages, the creators themselves provived a lot of the content, and even hired some people almost exclusively for that purpose. I can't remember where I read it though.

Is this a serious product? Im wondering, since from a user perspective this sounds quite disgusting, and somewhat dystopian...

That's not strange at all - I fondly remember flipping through the pages of the Art Book I got with the first Dark Souls - I still use it for reference to this day, the motives make good drawing practice :)

Same, but with st[0] - besides being one of the few git repos I downloaded which compiled on the first try.

(I actually had the luck to hear about i3 when setting up my arch install for the first time, but hell yeah I agree on that).

Or maybe, has anyone here ever used Gnu Smalltalk? It looks quite nice - even though I don't know about the cross-platform capabilities.

I may have seen to many sci-fi movies, but this sounds rather threatening:

>>It [Sophia] accused him of "reading too much Elon Musk," and said, "don't worry, if you're nice to me, I'll be nice to you. Treat me as a smart input-output system."

Still, the actual intelligence is probably nowhere near threatening or useful, but who am I to judge?

This is pretty much exactly what I've been looking for - if it eliminates all the messing around with various C libraries and compiling on different systems, I'm totally gonna try this!

Honestly, that makes sense - doing multiline replaces with sed isn't very convenient (I believe it's possible if you replace newlines with NULL). I guess I'll probably learn awk then, it can't be that hard with the examples from this repo^^

I'm wondering:

Does awk really provide that more value over sed while being easier or faster to use than a fully-fledged scripting language (thinking of perl, python, etc).?

(and yes, one may argue that awk IS a scripting language, I'm not disputing that, just asking)

In this case it seems it's some sort of DoF-Effect, since the lines between the objects seem to blur too.

Maybe you wanna overengineer in some html "compression" (stripping out whitespace, I mean) and cache the result? :P

It's fun (not that your site needs it, it easily loads fast enough) Also, nice style - what were your inspirations for that? I like the kinda minimalistic, a bit neon-y styling :)

this. Macros are something I've never used in other editors, but in vim they're simply... fun to use.

Well, if used for the right purpose.

Maybe you're looking for visual block mode?[0] Or the multi-cursor plugin[1]? I haven't tried the latter, ut I really like visual block mode for certain things.

It's amazing how much new stuff I learn about vim every day... And I'm nowhere near done :)

There's a bunch of things you could try, btw: First off, vim has a GUI version where you can use the mouse (and in some terminal emulators you can too - for example st[0])

Secondly, did you try using splits (horizontal and vertical is possible, you practically have a sort of WM inside vim) or maybe you prefer the tabs-approach to things (even though the purpose of tabs is a different one, but you can bend it to your will so it works kinda like in notepad++)

Also, relative line numbers really help me with the vertical navigation - you practically have the number you need to type at the start of the line (and your current line can have the actual line number, if :set nu is active)

I've never even read that book, but I probably should.

As it's described in the article, I see many parallels with today's anonymised internet culture - we can be someone else, someone who doesn't have to fear any consequences for what he says, we can lie on the internet to (try to) form other's perception of ourselves, thus being whoever we want to be.

But ultimately it's still the same person making those decisions, typing those words and decepting those other people, who may not be all that honest themselves.

Not to be compared with murder, obviously, but I feel like the same principle applies.

In case anyone wonders - red-lang[0] and rebol[1] both use this notation.

I'm wondering if Terry Davis is aware of the potential double-entendre (HolyJit->HolyShit)? which was probably the reason this name was chosen for the mozilla project.

Holy jit, that JS is running quickly. (Is it fast in that case? Quickly doesn't feel right...)

I'm not sure as to what is fundamentally different about this JIT-compiler (except for the awesome name of course)

Is it basically just a Rust rewrite which also tries to reduce the complexity of their current just-in-time compiler?

Edit: By calling it "just" a Rust rewrite, I'm not implying that's a simple undertaking, even moreso considering the complexity of modern JS engines.
