I've been writing software since 1976. I've been fluent in APL, Basic, Z80/8080, Fortran, Algol-68, PL/1, Pascal, Modula-2, Ada, Lisp, BLISS-32, MACRO-32, C, and Scheme. I learned me a Haskell for great good but still prefer Scheme.

After SICP, I would recommend The Little Schemer https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780262560993
Mine works fine too (Windows/Chrome).
This site is one of the reasons.
Thank you!
I haven't used it enough to know what its limits are but there's a lot to like with Windows Subsystem for Linux running either Ubuntu or Debian. Compared with macOS, it's current (apt-get to your heart's content), as…
There is a perfectly good reason why it is against the law to deny the Holocaust in Germany. Can anyone guess what it is?

I helped build Apple 1's. I had a Lisa. I've owned nearly every generation of PowerBook and MacBook and I've had enough. I bought a loaded Surface Pro tablet last summer and I ordered a new 15" Surface Book 2 w/ Nvidia…
I'm sure they're just as bad as every other Intel chip has ever been.
was They also used to make stuff that was fun to use and had a great UI.
My dad ran into him on a plane once. I still have my dad's business card that he signed along with a coffee table book of his artwork. What a live he lived!
I love my AirPods too but I'm still waiting for the wireless charging mat that works with the iPhone 8 and Apple Watch. Remember that? They announced it a year ago...
Or it could be another ill-conceived half-baked product, like most of the stuff Apple has released in the last five years.

A wonderful inspiring art project, well done!
VAX/VMS was always open sourced and available first on microfiche and later on CD. I don't know if this continued after Compaq and then HP came to own the code but that's how it started life. The only censored code was…
I still think Electric Pencil running on a Processor Technology Sol-20 was superior to WordStar, but then again, I owned Newtons back in the day.
The MicroVAX II was alleged to have this etched into some revs, in Cyrillic: "MicroVAX: when you care enough to steal the very best"
