I believe Uiua is an excellent one to look at first. It’s simpler than the others you mentioned without sacrificing any power (that I know of). You can type in meaningful words which then appear as cute glyphs, rather than learning new ways of entering things. Each glyph has only one meaning whereas APL (and I think the others) assign context-dependent meanings to some glyphs.

Check out folke/flash.nvim for a motion jump plugin. It’s brilliant.

That’s good, and I also have spoken to people in public about their noise several times, but…

That dude shouldn’t be turning it down; he should be turning it off.

My go-to line is: “Excuse me, do you have any earphones?”


This attitude is what brings the conflict from healthy compromise of competing goals to unproductive power struggle. Why is it so important to you that other people's use of public space is subservient to your own?

If I am on a bus or something I have asked other people to turn their audio down, but most other places it's easy enough for me to just move somewhere else.


This is a very valuable resource for me. Thanks for posting!


The publisher changed their mind, too. I don’t think the author was pointing fingers, just sharing information that his readers might enjoy or find useful.


What’s the counter-factual here? Coca Cola not allowed to exist? Plastic not a permissible material for soft drink bottles? Nobody allowed to drink soft drink? Companies forced to clean the streets?

I dislike plastic pollution as much as you do, but your elected representatives have more responsibility here than Buffett.


Imagine what a world we would live in if people held themselves to the same standard they hold billionaires to. After all, coca-cola would change their ways pretty quickly if people stopped buying things over the issue.


I’m not convinced.


It’s hard to go from (I privately think you’re cheating) to (I accuse you to your face), though.


My programs are not full of engines and cars and planes and boats and aquaplanes.

These metaphors used to teach OOP back in the day seemed appealing but never proved their worth in actual software design and implementation.


I looked at that link but didn’t understand what I was looking at and didn’t see a link that would give me an overview. I’d like to know more about it.


For sure, it's high on my TODO list to overhaul the site over Thanksgiving. If you scroll down a bit and play the 3-minute trailer you'll get the gist of it - pardon the inconvenience!
