Flux Keyboard 3 years ago

I would love something like that too use as a macro pad: keys that have arbitrary meaning you can reference. Keys that behave differently depending on context, and show you the context in real-time. That would be incredibly useful.

You might want to have a look at Elgato's Stream Decks.

It was public doctrine in textbooks, taught at university.

Which book(s), at which university? Genuinely curious.

i regularly use K (an APL descendant) as "pseudo-code".

in fact, i regularly _think_ about problems in an array-programming fashion, heavily inspired by K. when jotting them down, i often use K. when turning them into actual code to run, it's mostly immaterial if i then use K, J, numpy, julia, etc. the general approach translates well into a multitude of array programming varieties.

as such, i don't believe your point 5 holds. this way of thinking is certainly off mainstream, as is, e.g constraint programming, but there are niches where people use it highly productively. you won't necessarily glean that from the output coming from those niches, though.

worth noting, at the end of christine's update mentioned above:

"I do not plan to make any future update posts about the V programming language in the future. The V community is something I would really rather not be associated with. This is an edited-down version of the post that was released last week (2020 M06 17).

"As of the time of writing this note to the end of this post and as far as I am aware, I am banned from being able to contribute to the V language in any form. I am therefore forced to consider that the V project will respond to criticism of their language with bans. This subjective view of reality may not be accurate to what others see."

for anyone considering getting involved, read christine's three articles on the topic first: https://christine.website/blog/series/v

The growth rate of infected deaths and the measurable mortality displacement makes that hypothesis extremely unlikely.

As does (albeit in a weaker form) the testing of the full population of Vò.

As does the testing in at least a few European countries, where the growth rate of tests outpaces that of confirmed infections. And/or where the number of tests administered vastly exceeds the number of confirmed infections.

Sure, once we have anti-body tests widely available, the data will become better.

REBOL Oneliners 6 years ago

Red requires Rebol 2, which is proprietary; Red does not require (and, in fact, does not work with) Rebol 3.

However, Rebol 3 (and it's active descendant Ren-C) bootstraps itself; it does not require Rebol 2.

The rule headlines:

  1: Be welcoming
  2: Help potential contributors evaluate if the project is a good fit
  3: Make governance explicit
  4: Keep knowledge up to date and findable
  5: Have and enforce a code of conduct
  6: Develop forms of legitimate peripheral participation
  7: Make it easy for newcomers to get started
  8: Use opportunities for in-person interaction—With care
  9: Acknowledge all contributions
  10: Follow up on both success and failure

The naming strikes me as quite unfortunate. Kdb+ is a (time-series) database that supports the languages K and SQL. Naming a product in a similar space KSQL was already a questionable idea. Jumping through the hoops of renaming only to choose ksqlDB (which, arguably, is even more confusing) is, well, unfortunate.

but even in this reply you describe the standoff very well yourself: after k8s replaces all amazon bloat to become the default AWS api, k8s has effectively commoditised AWS. i think that's precisely the point OP is also making.
