Unplayable on smaller screens, but will check out later on a larger one.

Knowing Rust, Go and Kotlin that's what we're going to get sadly.

Okay, the printer one was fun but this is taken waay too far now.

I as a soon 16-year old definitely still consider myself a child, it's ignorant to disagree with what is practically proven. I'm definitely not as wise as this 14-year old, makes me a bit jealous, have to admit.

Mine will be called simply Programming Language.

Damn, I had this idea once, shame I didn't do anything with it. This looks like something I'll actually use though!

wxWidgets would help with that.

The point is that it's not "javascript interpreted in machine code", which in my opinion would make these computers far more fun, otherwise they're just fancy game frameworks.

Unlike most, I don't see a problem with it being Lua or JavaScript. I'm just curious why people pick such high-level languages in the first place. I'm planning to make a fantasy computer myself (basing it off the z80), and would never think to make it scriptable in something other than machine code.

Is Rust the Arch of programming languages?

Midnightas — Tue, 25 Dec 2018 19:31:28 +0000

I'm not very experienced when it comes to such low-level networking, but I'm curious as to how they claimed all those contiguous addresses. Is there some fundamental difference between IPv4 and IPv6 that let's you do this?

Speed? Do it yourself, you only add what you need, no need to bloat the styles with anything you're not going to use.

Finally something that's not just piles upon piles of blockchains.

Midnightas — Tue, 27 Nov 2018 10:08:10 +0000

I (or someone) needs to archive all those annotations links on those games, since most of these old channels that did such videos aren't active anymore.

Midnightas — Sun, 04 Nov 2018 08:23:21 +0000

Looks nice, but I probably won't use it for large-scale projects. Visual software like these make it too easy to fuck something up without noticing, which would be a pain to debug in the long run, and one can infer the tree structure using simple indentation.

That profile picture made the article much more hilarious.

Ask HN: Other than Sourceforge, are there any sites to publish your software?

Midnightas — Fri, 28 Sep 2018 11:08:56 +0000

Publish or share.

In my case, it's for regular users.

Maybe try an Android derivative? One tailored for privacy? I've heard of LineageOS, it's marketed as privacy-friendly.
