Didn't Valve release a huge update to Half-Life in 2023 (i.e. 6 years after the linked comment was written)?

Is it Tasha?

I do wonder what a language with the same “taste” and minimalism as Scheme but embracing the actor model would look like.

There is Spritely Goblins: https://spritely.institute/goblins/

You haven't seen the Lisp subreddit then, there is a post complaining about having to learn Emacs at least once every week or so.

There is an explanation in the blog: https://coalton-lang.github.io/20260424-mine/

However, the above is a tall order for someone just wanting to dip their toes in, to see if they have any interest in Coalton or Common Lisp. A couple hours on the weekend is easily sunk into getting configurations right, and the right subsystems installed, and the right paths setup, just so the first line of code can be executed.

mine is not Emacs. It aims to eliminate all of that, and be a Coalton/Lisp-first development environment, whose only job is to be a Coalton/Lisp-first development environment. But more than that, it needs to be accessible. A non-programmer should find it easy to download, install, and run mine with nothing more than a download link.

OpenLook is nice but it's a bit of a shame it doesn't have its own version of Workbench.

A base becomes useless pretty quickly if it can't be resupplied, I suspect there is enough hostile AA around it to ensure that.

There is the Heroic Game Launcher that also interfaces with the Epic Games Store.

At least one of the lead developers of Étoilé moved on to CHERI.

Haiku is not related to Étoilé.

It's not technologically feasible unless plastic aka flexible ICs take off.

Azul Systems was making Java machines a while ago.

When did they add that? When I was trying to learn Japanese 6-7 years ago Duolingo didn’t have anything for either kana or kanji…

I remember reading or hearing somewhere that this was a one-off thing, but I can't remember where.

EDIT: Another comment mentioned Chet Faliszek, he was probably the source.

Juniors usually learn on the job.

Intel demonstrated a RISC-V chip called Horse Creek two years ago.

Probably directly from Arm? https://www.intc.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/1614/...

higher than Qualcomm

That’s a pretty low bar for a software company.

The laid off employees will move on to a new full-time job, your fork will have to find maintainers somewhere else.

AMD/GF spin-off was backed by Saudi money, who is going to pay this time?

I recommend starting with this free book which covers Common Lisp: https://gigamonkeys.com/book/

They can't afford to tank their margins like that, investors would be rather unhappy.

Quoting the article: "The evidence that Toxoplasma can infiltrate male reproductive organs in animals is compelling, but whether this produces health issues in people remains unclear. […] Studies to date that show defects in the sperm of infected men are too small to draw firm conclusions at this time."

Leaking the source code is not forcibly-open-sourcing it, as multiple Windows leaks show.

From this blog's About page: "In 2010, our team cofounded the Thiel Fellowship with Peter Thiel..."

Make of that what you will.

It is really desperation, the low-hanging fruit of computing paradigm shifts to fuel the "tech" industry's growth was completely plucked more than a decade ago.

  >Maybe it's time to breakup Apple - separate the computer and phone divisions.

At the same time an EU country is deporting Russian scientists and banning them from the Schengen zone: https://meduza.io/en/feature/2025/04/14/sweden-s-security-se...

The previous CEO was saying the same thing, and he was an engineer too.

RISC-V is at least a decade away from threatening x86 or high-end Arm.
