alcover

Ha! thank you. Doubted these crazy anecdotes. Often we're tempted to repeat them to impress our audience. I know I do..

TLDR:

The sample is still on Mars. It presents tiny dots that, on Earth, form in soils due to the presence of microbial activity.

> The Making of the Atomic Bomb

I read it this summer. I learned a lot but got lost remembering who is who..

Could you recommend titles about discovery of radio-activity and after ? I'm fascinated by this subject.

If those titles were also a gentle introduction to the physics involved, I'd be delighted.

    fun repeat(str :: String, n :: Nat) :: List:
        [body]

I may be over-sensitive to looks but... god why ?

    fun repeat(str: String, n: Nat): List = 

would be prettier. (I guess authors had to compromise in affecting symbols)

Fascinating broken-bot glitch, thank you. Reminds me of some sci-fi movies.

May the Gods be with him. The nostalgia is very strong. Opening Flash and start a new project was an immense source of joy to me in the 00's.

Thank you. This reading lowers my anxiety. I believe we'll rationally - and in a hurry - come down to this kind of solution. It makes solid sense.

> (1) If I read "io.print", is this "the print function in the module io" or "the print method for the variable io"

I don't see the issue. Just look up the id ? Moreover, if modules are seen as objects, the meaning is quite the same.

> checking is much easier if the namespace is clear from the grammar.

Again (this time by the checker) just look up the symbol table ?

That's it. Plus they would work neatly on old computers/phones.

I agree. Something componenty like Flash, yes. But it'd be easier to subset what already exists..

Oh they would care if one shows them much snappier versions of services they use. They just don't know better.

> that means being compatible with websites that normal people use

No, new adhering websites would emerge and word of mouth would do the rest : normal people would see this fast nerd-web and want rid of their bloated day-to-day monster of a web life.

One can still hope..

I wish for this new year we reboot the Web with a super light standard and accompanying ecosystem with

    - A small and efficient JS subset, HTML, CSS
    - A family of very simple browsers that do just that
    - A new Web that adheres to the above

That would make my year.

I am also doing this. Like you i guess I want a nicer C. I produce my own errors though because it's better for the user.
