“Adventures in good music” with Karl Hass is likely offline forever due to licensing issues, sadly.

On iOS, two applications can register as handling the same callback URI scheme. Which one gets the callback is non-deterministic. Thus, it is possible for some other app to get the token. I don’t see how an allowlist would mitigate this.

With PKCE, the other app can still intercept the token, but the token is incomplete and useless.

Thanks! Just a hobbyist, glad to hear industry perspective on this!

Yes, though at that voltage range you’ll need to stray into somewhat esoteric parts, like silicon carbide mosfets / igbt’s https://www.power-mag.com/pdf/feature_pdf/1461163294_Woifspe...

You’d still need to be able to specify _exactly_ what you want from the database in order for gpt to provide the corresponding sql. You’ll still need to understand the database structure and be able to think in terms of relations and what’s possible via queries.

Make irrelevant? Probably not. Make more convenient? Probably.

Thanks, I misunderstood.

This is perhaps a hyperbolic. Self-driving tractors can always be driven by hand when needed.

Certain manufacturers fighting against right-to-repair certainly stymies potential third-party hacks / upgrades, such as your suggestion.

That’s what rainbow parens are for

Is this the idea behind shen and k lambda?

I've been wanting to dip my toes into old-school Win32 development for a while now, this codebase looks like a great example to pore over.

What do you mean by actively discourage? There are many interpreter and REPL apps, there are swift playgrounds, etc, and there is nothing stopping you from submitting yet another programming app to the AppStore.

Have you tried using a fifo file?

I don’t think that’s true. iOS developers are paid better and learning Swift + UIKit is a simpler target than learning HTML + CSS + JS + framework.

I'm really shocked they didn't think to make a sorted list of the most common city names available -- seems like that would be everyone's first question.

If you count raylib as a GUI, yes!

because Janet is a lisp-1, this should be very doable.

ah thanks! I hadn't considered the core count difference.

sorry, come again?

A good place to start would be implementing Rich Hickey’s ant colony demo in both Python and Clojure. https://youtu.be/dGVqrGmwOAw

Yeah, I was a little confused by the strncpy "gotcha": "The answer is that the destination gets filled with all the characters of the source string with no room left for the null terminator."

Well, I mean, the docs specifically call that out: "If src is less than len characters long, the remainder of dst is filled with ‘\0’ characters. Otherwise, dst is not terminated."

So if you want null termination in all cases, you need to pass len-1, not len.

Ah, I was hoping this was a MIPS model

This hack has been known to the dirt bike community for a while now. https://www.google.com/search?q=dirt+bike+tennis+balls&tbm=i...

Also, there's no need to make this so complicated, you can just shove the tennis balls into a normal tire.

And what about mac and windows? And X11 for that matter.

Emulating on a Pi doesn’t get you the “instant-on boot to BASIC” appeal. But for that, there’s the $50 Agon Light 2: https://www.olimex.com/Products/Retro-Computers/AgonLight2/o...

Comparing this project to the Agon is quite the contrast in decisions made and outcomes reached.

Looks like the key difference is that jank is based on persistent data structures, while Janet embraces mutability.

Very cool! I'm curious if you've explored testing error cases yet? Years ago I fooled around with nbdkit and developed a "bad sectors" and "bad disk" plugin and found that the error handling around these scenarios left a little to be desired.
