It looks to be the standard Dyalog APL keyset, which will be just fine for GnuAPL and most if not all APLs but not all languages of the APL family.

Lots of people use the end result in some other hobby like jewelry or other crafts. The stores here that cater to tourists are filled with things made from/with local tumbled stones, mostly agate…

I agree with the general message but his method is essentially what he is arguing against, an aesthetic. Note taking systems are bad because most of the time it is square peg and round hole. Develop t…

For me, an OS should be something I never have to think about, slackware gives me that. Very little has changed in all the years I have used it and almost everything I learned all those years ago when…
comment
It is doing well, I run both current and 15, rock solid, stable both in use and features. It has never given me anything to complain about, OS stays out of your way and even running current I never ha…

My point was not about myths either. Literacy created a new tradition, it did not replace the old. The oral tradition will be with us for as long as people can communicate. Also the idea of a myth hav…
comment
The oral tradition is not lost, it just evolved to suit the times; urban legends and creepy pasta just have a lot more relevance. Literacy created the written tradition, moved writing past being just …

In my experience, that is pretty much what marginalia search is. I rarely get what I expect but I always get something very interesting that makes me understand my expectations better which is very he…

Surprisingly informative for what is pretty much a press release, learned a good deal about search engines.

You assume the game goes at a decent speed and finishes. Such games tend to end once people are too drunk to play.

From what I have seen, AI's use of the em-dash always falls into the technically correct "semicolon like" usage that is ambiguous and confusing when semicolons are also used. Most peopl…

A pan, the dough would not hold such detail through baking if done by hand.

Digging up and drawing the root systems of plants might be my dream job, I love digging, plants, and slow methodical tedious work. Anyone hiring? Pinus sylvestris[0] and Quercus robur[1] are good entr…
comment
The options for connectors that are robust enough for stage work is limited and the alternatives tend to be expensive since they are no where near as ubiquitous. 1/4" Phono plug and XLR have…

For android and apl we also have dzaima's AndroidIDE which is the best android array implementation that I have found. https://github.com/dzaima/APL/tree/master…
comment
>Of course, there's nothing about an array language that requires using symbols; but for some reason most do. The idioms become words and you read them like words, you don't step through …

It depends on the language and the programmer. https://github.com/mlochbaum/BQN/blob/master/vm.bqn …

What makes Uiua a full generation ahead of BQN?

Tk using the themed ttk widgets might meet your needs, not sure about accessibility though. Wxwidgets is also an option but can get weird with the native controls, not sure about accessibility there e…

I have been using desktop linux for more than a decade longer than you and have config files older than 15 years. No idea what our individual experiences have to do with this but I win, I guess?

If you are 13 years old, vibe coding is probably something like walking or talking to you.

What do you want to bet and which assertion are we betting on? Haiku has stayed out of the open source drama and focused on its goals; slowly and steadily working towards them even when the goalposts …
comment
Haiku will win in the end, at least win what many in the free software world are trying to win. Or at least what I think this blog is trying to get at, but it is a weird post I am not completely sure …

I am generally not one to engage in online political discussion, especially when it stems from such a glib and self serving post as GP but it is my thread and I am running out of time in the year to h…

From what I remember; it was mostly a one man project and he was writing it for himself, this upset some people and they felt his personal project should be democratic. It created a great deal of dram…
comment
The most vocal part of the opensource community tries to sell opensource as an ideology and that that ideology is correct; the sales pitch is "your ideology is wrong." Most people are perfec…

I played with Austral about a year ago and really wanted to use it for my projects, but as a hobbyist and mostly inept programmer it lacked the community and ecosystem I require. I found it almost int…

Non Daw. Its breaking up each function of the DAW into its own application gave a better experience in each of those functions, especially when you only needed that aspect, you were not working around…
