Yeah, somehow I owe my entire software engineering career to that flower and garden program example. There was something about being able to add new words based on primitives, and new words based on custom words, that captured me for good.

Very true, but I don’t see it as a cycle like that comic says. It is more of an unhealthy digestive tract.

It’s frustrating that the site wrote that. I’d wager a taco that she never made that claim.

I know this is HN and we’re not supposed to laugh, but this gave me a smile.

I wish there was an article on the oral history of comic chat.

I agree, it’s dumb. I never call those things popovers (is that a regional term?) so the whole time the word was a bit jarring. Also, at first I thought this was a riff on combovers, and imagined some weird male Medusa creature with a thinning head of dicks, and it was so disappointing when that turned out to be wrong.

It randomizes slices of the sample and begins to play the slices in the random order. Meanwhile it begins the bubble sort algorithm at a pace that matches the tempo, sorting the slices into their chronological order. Throughout, it only plays the unsorted slices. (I was kinda hoping it would play the sorted sample at the end.)

Simpler in the short run, but creates tech debt I think.

Reminds me of the lawsuit brought against South Park by Brownmark Films over the recreation of their infamous video, also done in a faithful “side by side” manner. Interesting that the courts decided the opposite in that case.
