jkleiser··on Remembering the Crystal Radio (2020)
I had a "rocket" crystal radio like this in the 60s: http://www.esnarf.com/7395k.htm
jkleiser··on How “blue” and “green” appeared in a language that didn’t have words for them
I can recommend this book by Guy Deutscher: "Through the Language Glass: Why the World Looks Different in Other Languages"
jkleiser··on Hex: A Strategy Guide
Great! Thanks a lot.
jkleiser··on Solidjs – JavaScript UI Library
When I go to https://markojs.com in Safari (14.1.2), the CPU load on my MacBook Air goes up above 100%. If I use the Brave browser, the CPU load is closer to 25%. Still too much.
jkleiser··on A History of Primary Colours (2020)
Interesting. I'm just wondering why the color green has not been discussed in more detail in this text.
jkleiser··on Alternative lightweight UI library to modern day frameworks
AppRun (https://apprun.js.org) is a very nice JavaScript library for building reliable, high-performance web applications, including SPAs.
jkleiser··on Things I wish I knew about state management when I started writing React apps
Great article! I have only done a few simple projects with React, except for one where we used Redux. For me, Redux is too much clutter. I can recommend a look at this article: https://medium.com/@yiyisun/redux-vs-the-react-context-api-v... I've been working on an AppRun based hobby project for a couple of months now, and I find state management there to be quite easy. No clutter!
jkleiser··on Native Oberon
If you have a Mac and want to play with Oberon Workstation, you can find it in the Mac App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/oberon-workstation/id1057155...
jkleiser··on Gallery of programming UIs
Impressive! However, no mention of Oberon or BlackBox; that's a serious omission. http://fruttenboel.verhoeven272.nl/Oberon/index.html, https://github.com/pdewacht/oberon-risc-emu, http://blackboxframework.org/index.php?cID=home,en-us
jkleiser··on Curry: A Tutorial Introduction [pdf]
You may learn more about Curry here: http://www-ps.informatik.uni-kiel.de/currywiki/documentation...
jkleiser··on A basic forking server in Oberon-2
Thanks for the links!
jkleiser··on Oberon Workstation on the Mac App Store
What a great surprise! I look forward to re-learn this system and language. I'm glad Oberon isn't dead. I just discovered this http://oberon.vishap.am and this https://github.com/BlackBoxCenter/blackbox.
jkleiser··on Every Noise at Once – an algorithmically-generated scatter-plot of musical genre
Very cool! However, the "zydeco" sample wasn't typical zydeco at all. I guess it was Wayne Toups, and I'm sure he can do some real groovy zydeco, but this wasn't. ;-)
jkleiser··on Show HN: WebGL-powered oscilloscope emulator
I like it, but I would prefer a plain oscilloscope function, and being able to connect it to a Web Audio source of mine.
jkleiser··on Introducing Eventism: Demo Event Data Generator
Introducing Eventism or Eventsim?
jkleiser··on Catenary: concatenative programming for JavaScript
If you really want to do some serious concatenative programming, this is probably a useful site: http://www.factorcode.org
jkleiser··on Oberon/F for Mac OS (1997)
If you have access to MS Windows, you can find the latest version here: http://www.oberon.ch/blackbox.html A very beautiful piece of software in my opinion (but not available for Mac OS X).
jkleiser··on Shill: A Secure Shell Scripting Language
If your machine is running some Unix OS, then PicoLisp is what I would recommend. -> http://picolisp.com/
jkleiser··on React Components
Very nice! I think it would be great if the clickable component names on the right could have some kind of tooltip that contained a brief description of the component. E.g.: For the react-messages it could be "React component for showing error, warning, info messages."
jkleiser··on JavaScript: The Right Way
I would have expected to find React (http://facebook.github.io/react/) among the frameworks.
jkleiser··on Behind the Scenes with Chicken Scheme
Unless you're stuck in Windows, I suggest you take a look at PicoLisp, a very rich and interesting development system. The Wiki is of course written in PicoLisp: http://picolisp.com/
