A quotation from Douglas Adams

I am rarely happier than when spending entire day programming my computer to perform automatically a task that it would otherwise take me a good ten seconds to do by hand.

Douglas Adams (1952-2001) English author, humorist, screenwriter
Last Chance to See, ch. 2 (1990) [with Mark Carwardine]

What would a good replacement for the C language look like?

Assuming that for whatever reason Rust ain't it

Generally in relational database structures do you think it's better for the child to point to the parent or the parent to point to the children?

Of all the programming languages that I had to learn over the years, my favourite is still Pascal. Many programmers hate Pascal because it has such a rigid structure, but my Pascal code has much fewer bugs than anything I write in any other language, exactly because that rigid structure keeps me from making a lot of stupid mistakes.

Heads up for #golang Chatmail bots developers:

The Chatmail API for Go library got a new release to support the latest chatmail core 2.53.0

#chatmail #deltachat #bots #dev #devs #developer #api #e2ee #privacy #security #opensource #go #programming #automation

Some of the simplest #programming languages are LISP, Forth, C, and Smalltalk. A working knowledge in any one of these languages can be acquired by an experienced programmer in a few hours. Thereafter, it takes another 10,000 hours of hands-on usage for that "experienced" programmer to master the "simple" language. This situation is analogous to a tourist learning to ask "Where is the toilet?" in a foreign language, as opposed to living in that culture and immersing in that language.

This is why it is generally counterproductive to pump out, nightly, new languages that are mere tweaks of old, established ones, or to design massive, feature-laden languages that tried to be all things to all programmers in all domains.

Every GPL is a Turing-complete DSL in disguise, and every Turing-complete DSL is a GPL in disguise.

Therefore, a more efficient (but not necessarily optimal) approach is for the language designers to create the smallest possible Turing-complete DSL for their favourite application domain by employing the latest ideas pertinent to that domain, and to resist the temptation to inflate the design with fancy, general features.

A systems #programming language with all these characteristics does not exist, because these features are at odds with each other. But in a #dream, we must not let aspiration be bounded from above by attainability.😀

• Haskell-like syntax
• ML-like semantics
• Erlang-like resilience
• Elm-like courtesy
• Rust-like tooling
• OCaml-like compilation speed
• C-like execution speed
• Smalltalk-like simplicity
• JavaScript-like ubiquity
• Python-like popularity
• Fortran-like longevity

On the upside, we programmers have such a low standard for what constitutes a good language: if the designer manages to nail any two of those characteristics, most of us are pre-programmed to like that language.

I think programming languages have a tension between people trying to learn the language going "what the hell do these hieroglyphics mean, use keywords!" and people who know the language going "I just want to type less, let me use punctuation instead of words!"

I would just

• fetch a microcontroller
• program it
• add a micro led display matrix
• add CR2032 batteries, or
• dedicated small lipo rechargeable
• 3D print a enclosure
• get a custom made wrist band

...slap it on my wrist,  depending on the power requirements of the microcontroller

Much more niche, totally unique no need for a factory produced Gizmo

There are countless Open Source  Projects for something like this readily available

Browser-Based Euro Office Clone

This is an experimental, local-first project designed to demonstrate client-side managed functionality without requiring any setup. By leveraging the FileSystem API, it offers a unique approach to storing files directly on your device from your browser.

Current Features:
- PWA (Progressive Web App)
- Local-first storage
- Word processor
- Spreadsheet tool
- PDF capability

Coming Soon:

- Support for more file types
- Storage synchronization
- Collaborative editing
- Encryption at rest
- P2P file-transfer

Long-Term Goals (Clones of):
- NextCloud
- WhatsApp
- Instagram
- WeTransfer

Note: This project is experimental, far from finished, and presented strictly for testing, feedback, and demo purposes (USE RESPONSIBLY!).

Check out the demo version and let me know your thoughts!

As you said, computers just work around these blockades. Passing the #Cloudflare gate does not prove a man's hand clicked on the box.

A machine can get around Cloudflare's blockade and write a post, all automated by a script.

A bad, unsolicited advice from an old, irrelevant #programmer:

• All programmers proficient in Standard ML, OCaml, Hope, Miranda, Haskell, or another member of the ML family of FP languages—and are interested in system #programming—should pick up Rust, at some point.

• None should touch #Rust without first mastering at least one member of the ML family of languages and also C.

#lispyGopherClimate (very) #live #podcast since 2022 : I currently have the flu, sorry everyone! Today my topic is:

Xanadu and The Madman, #ErikSandewall's side of #TedNelson's story.

https://toobnix.org/w/grQNigh7kFaE9QEjWDgthF

tl ; dl: the bifurcation is that where Ted Nelson picked #programming, Basic, not math and indie gamedevs, Erik Sandewall picked #lisp, math (KR) and *not programming*.

Also, the #environment and #KMP #haiku.

I post a lot of #hiking, #mountaineering, and #caturday pictures, #cooking, #gardening, #diy projects, esoteric #programming and grumpy #tech and #design thoughts, and #poetry, both my own and attributed. I like #scifi and #fantasy and when I post about politics it will get a CW.

Posts are meant to be ephemeral. Anything I want to keep up long term will end up on my website.
