I'm SO happy to have retired a few years back!!
[dead]
The issue is not that that itself is the doomsday, but that when the current collapses the climate trajectory changes and aims at catastrophe, and changing that will be beyond our ability
FORTH got me my first paid programming work in 1981: a management suite for a water company, with customer accounting and river water-flow checks (reported in a synthesized voice)! A fun project for which I home-rolled…
'Thence' is another nice word
To me "storytelling" certainly includes true stories, and isn't limited to fiction at all; "narrative" isn't a word I'd use in describing events.
Totally! At 87 that's gutsy! My very first paid programming work was in Forth on a 6502 platform in the '60s, building a networked accounting and flow management program for a water company, but I'm now 81 and very glad…
And the guy he works for ... sigh bigly
[flagged]
Loeliger's 'Threaded Interpretive Languages' jumpstarted my career in the late 1970s: I built a networked water management system based on their code, which was my first big project, earning me £1,500. Note that there's…
Well I (as a widely-read 81 year old bookworm lol) have never heard of him
Interesting that they didn't find the nights too cold for sleeping out. We camped in Racetrack Playa one spring some years back and the nights were bitterly cold with extreme wind.
I don't think our current administration cares what we can afford
That headline sounds encouraging, but the actual info is anything but.
Yes, it's a lovely book and led me to my first paid project over 40 years ago! Using the book I built a Forth to monitor the local water authority systems, with water-level tracking and customer accounting & billing,…

> Putting tax always seems to be more popular I think you typo'd there, with initial 'P' intended to be 'C'
Nice, but he totally hides the lining-up of the rear projector image with the main screen's image, which I imagine is a painful process.
It's a lot hard to re-enter society if you're separated from everyone and everyplace you know. Sure, it could be cheaper in some ways to ship the homeless out to bumfuck nowhere, but might be less cost-effective than…
I didn't wok on one of the US government systems, but much of my career was in COBOL compilers (writing run time systems, and checking against the ANSI standards). COBOL would not default to 1875 for a corrupt date.
I think navigating code definitely has a relationship to navigating meatspace, and the ability to internalize a view of the code space makes for a good programmer. I'm long retired now, but attribute a lot of my…
> more paying patients that's a chilling thought; don't give them ideas
Yes! Many of the responses here are intellectual, missing something more earthy. In particular, hearing Lombardo reading from his translation of the Iliad [0] stirred me deeply. For sure I'm going to find a print of his…
