Pyret has a pragmatic way of dealing with what they call "roughnums":

I'm sure it was unintentional.

When you put it this way, it does make the game even better.

mordae already spoiled it, but it's still worth playing. It's very short (5 minutes) with a really good execution and message. I say as soon as you find a better computer, go play it.

Really cool as always! But uhh...

You do you, but calling them "extremely good jokes" suggests to me you're just not familiar with this particular pattern (which if you used Reddit, trust me, you would be).

lol

This sequence of comments is literally a joke template. Completely unoriginal and predictable. You can get plenty of that on Reddit.

Mine is more like a rainforest disappearing due to deforestation, if I'm being honest.

So you were a snob since you were a child. Got it.

Please stop gatekeeping subjective matters.

Dynalist is better in almost all respects. It's also by the same creators of Obsidian. In fact one possible con is that development pretty much halted now that they're focused on Obsidian, but it's still perfectly functional and featureful.

I know this dude who can say anything you can think of using only two words.

A few interesting reactive notebooks off the top of my head:

- Pluto.jl (Julia)

- Clerk (Clojure)

- Polynote (Scala, Python?)

- Percival (Datalog + JavaScript)

As for Observable, note the runtime is open source. I don't know any perfectly polished alternatives that use it, but for now there's Starboard.gg (which if I'm not mistaken uses Observable's runtime, but someone else said it doesn't), and this VSCode extension: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=GordonSm...

I'd love to see more alternatives in this space, specifically of reactive notebooks or similar environments.

I'm pretty sure I read some time ago that Starboard used Observable's open source runtime. Has that changed?

I gather you've never met a zoomer in your life

Thanks, this is the obvious point every other reply here seems to blissfully ignore. The levels of cognitive dissonance are astonishing.

A tongue-in-cheek based on a straw man doesn't make you look good

No, I think I understand the point of the post perfectly fine, and I also happen to think you don't understand mine. The post is kinda like when someone says they don't buy things with "chemicals" in it and you take the opportunity to make a joke that highlights how naive they are. Doesn't mean there isn't a valid point being made if they were able to convey it better.

I don't understand your point. Are we talking about recycling plastic spoons or washing reusable spoons? Are you suggesting using plastic spoons and discarding them is better than washing reusable spoons? And are there no costs at all in disposing them?

That's the problem. The original image is talking about "effort", which I take to be about energy and natural resource usage, but this response deflects it to "complexity" to make it seem like anything is equally justifiable regardless of how wasteful it is.

Because we're destroying the planet and cynical takes like this post and replies to my comment aren't making it any better.

Wait until you try a language that was supposed to have a decent type system from the beginning!

This is ridiculous. The complexity of manually washing a spoon, even with all those steps added, isn't even in the same ballpark as manufacturing it. You need all of the same kind of steps to manufacture the spoon (including piping water to the factory and cleaning it with soap or whatever), and the other ones are orders of magnitude more complex. And just because you added more words and used some technical terms it doesn't show any more complexity.

The "color stuff" is most certainly a reference to this:

I've got several small enough projects that would benefit from an automated sort of logging: ALL impure function calls and their outputs are logged, and then (almost?) everything else about program execution (i.e. all other function calls and parameters passed to them) can be deduced from that. I've seen similar solutions being called "time-travel debugging", but I haven't found anything that's just "plug-and-play" for any major language. Any recommendations?

What about impact on marine life? Genuine question.

Almost five years? Wow, I'm sure he'll come out of it a better, de-psychopathized man.

Your example only shows what a joke the system we live under is and what ridiculous lengths we go to justify it.

Didn't they already use something like this to supposedly unmask Satoshi Nakamoto?

Yes, it's so heartbreaking when it starts happening in first-world countries.
