Related, Free Pascal has a text-mode IDE that's supported on most modern platforms.

Even while running a BBS in the background, too!

An even earlier example is The Prisoner episode "Many Happy Returns". Almost half of the episode is without dialogue.

Just curious, but what bugs have you encountered in nvAlt? I switched over for the Collapse Note List function.

The Public Domain Korn Shell version 5.2.14.

A rock solid shell that hasn't been (or needed to be) updated in nearly 20 years.

nvALT, which is a fork of the Notational Velocity note-taking app on OSX.

Rock solid and very fast!

Yes, I used The Games Factory for many years! It would also create stand-alone installers that would fit in a floppy.

Charlie Lee of Litecoin shows how it should be done simply:

Possibly because Rob Pike is not a fan of syntax highlighting, calling it juvenile.

Sam user if that counts.

Yes, I was confused by this as well. I think this author was looking for something bearish, and went with Ben anyway.

Never had a problem with SBCL on any VPS provider.

In the references there's a link to the original Google description written by Sergey Brin and Larry Page:

Othello is a masterpiece.

He said that the most beautiful mathematics were that which had no practical applications.

Not sure how he'd feel that now that his own specialty of Number Theory has turned out to be very practical.

By contrast, the Plan 9 C compiler does use the header when linking. Header files contain a prama statement with library name, removing the need for linker flags.

"Tezos" is not a reference to Leah. The name "L M Goodman" is the reference.

Versions is easily my favourite Subversion client for Mac. http://versionsapp.com

Also recommended is "Racing the Beam" from MIT Press [1]. It is a terrific tour of Atari 2600 software development by examining several different games, including another Howard Scott Warshaw cart, Yar's Revenge.

I was hoping for a comparison between competing platforms and how they stack up against iOS OSX.

But this article is free software evangelism ("I set myself free") not a serious guide to moving away from Apple.

"How to Solve It" by G. Polya is an excellent guide on how to approach mathematical problems.

There is also this interview from the National Science Foundation: http://www.livescience.com/40023-james-mickens-microsoft-s-l...

Incidentally, I look forward to the day when Lebron James is called the James Mickens of Basketball.

Rob Pike says that Oberon was an influence on his Plan 9 text editor, Acme.

For the iPhone announcement, I would have appreciated if someone had written a blog post about their security and privacy concerns and submitted that separately.

This works just fine in Mountain Lion.

Runbox is based in Norway and are very privacy oriented.

I highly recommend the book "Programming Challenges" by Steven Skiena, used in conjunction with UVA Online Judge at http://onlinejudge.org.

Each challenge takes the form of a word problem. The solution can be coded in a few different languages and uploaded to the website.

The site imposes time limits when running the solution. When I've found that my solution works but is too slow, it has encouraged me to look for different data structures or algorithms.

I can't recommend it enough.
