about
I remember when 8-bit machines ruled the Earth, IOS was a Cisco thing, and e-mail bounced around via dial-up, back before the first AI winter.
I'm now enjoying the new AI spring and doing all sorts of fun stuff.

Flask has always struck me as requiring too many plugins. With bottle, I just drop one file into my work dir and I'm off. Toss in Peewee as well (another single file) and I get a decent ORM. That…

Hmmm. I get nice templating and very straightforward routing with Bottle. Why shouldn't I use that, especially since I can review the whole codebase in half an hour?

People keep linking to the techempower benchmarks, but last I checked they did _not_ do Python web deployment quite right (i.e., no gevent, no gunicorn, no uWSGI). Things might have changed in the mea…

Actually, Clive seems to be dead. There's been no activity on the Google Group since May 2014.

No, not the author. I don't know GitMongo, but this works with the iOS 8 file picker and lets me use the repos in it from Textastic, which is great for my purposes.

This is a highly unscientific sampling, but most deep-tech blogs I follow seem to be on gh-pages these days. Medium, less so - I get mostly essays from those. Jekyll gives you a lot of bang for the bu…

Well, I'd like to see more support of MicroPython on AVR, for starters - it already covers a bunch of platforms, but more hands seem welcome :) If that's not your cup of tea, I'd say wh…

Have a go at Hy (hylang.org). You can have your cake and eat it too. :) Other than that, I'm fiddling with LISP Flavored Erlang (lfe.io), but I've had previous Erlang exposure.

Ditto. I find the animations on this one make it slow on mobile. Haven't tried it on my iPad yet (which is where I use cheeaun's on a daily basis), but I think the visuals might detract from…

Not just that. Disco also provides a distributed storage service for locality of reference when doing Map-Reduce. This, in turn, might be something you'd use to build a tailored distributed syste…

Beware, it is quite slow and limited.

Distributed as in network-transparent. Inferno inherited Plan9's ability to deal with resources independently of location.

If by that you mean "languages that target the dis VM", yes. There was a Scheme interpreter written in Limbo, but that's about it. I think that's the biggest hurdle regarding Infer…
comment
I wish leiningen wouldn't take so long to run. The only real trouble with Clojure is how unbearably _slow_ the tools are. I can deal with the runtime taking its time to get going (mostly), but th…

I love that font. The VT220 was one of the first terminals I used for an extended period of time, and I've been using the font on one of my machines for over a year now for that extra nostalgic f…

Oh man. I saw that on the catalogue when I was a kid.

I'm very curious about this. My father put together a Heathkit (analog, of course) oscilloscope kit when I was a kid. It took me years to realize the amount of dedication involved in not just ass…
