Here's Seattle's version of that: https://www.dinostomatopie.com

SEEKING WORK / Seattle / Remote
I'm a freelance full-stack web developer in Seattle. I've worked with clients on several Elixir web projects ranging from geography-based census data analytics to processing state COVID test results. I've also have experience with Node.js, Django, and React.
In 2023, as a side project, I created a small functional language called Cassette <https://cassette-lang.com>. Now I’m developing an S3 app for a classic Macintosh.

Yeah it’s good general advice to always discharge the CRT. Although… the flyback transformer on most of these Macs has a bleeder resistor, so I skip it when I’m lazy now.

Ooh this looks great

Yeah, I’ve done it once already, hopefully this time I can do it a little cleaner.
Nice, any goodies you remember from that hoard?

Funny timing, I also bought a Mac today - an SE/30. Looking forward to fixing it up.

I'm loving this series, it's one of the best I've found for explaining HM typing in an approachable way. Looking forward to more!

Oh this looks perfect! I kind of intended to make something like this, but now I don't have to. Looking forward to replacing my macproxy with this to try it out :)

This is so true. I feel like I've learned more about programming in the last two years making Cassette[1] than in the past decade of professional software development.
Every developer should make a language at some point. I want to see everyone's weird, half-baked languages! I want to hear about what other people struggled with, and the tradeoffs they've made!

There's also a lot less visible sky in a lot of places in a city—it only takes four or five stories to limit your view and block the moon a lot of the time. And in my experience, it's less the brightness of lights than the sheer volume of light from a city that reduces the apparent brightness of the moon and stars. I'm always amazed how you can see the halo of a city over the horizon at night just from its lights.

For some background on the quest to discover new elements, I highly recommend this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qe5WT22-AO8. The main story about Ninov's fraud is pretty interesting, but the beginning does a good overview of the recent history.

> "a + ogonek accent" and another (properly) sent "a with ogonek" (these print the same but are semantically different!)
How can these possibly be semantically different? Isn’t the point of combining characters to create semantic characters that are the combination of those parts?

This looks cool! How did you decide on what data types to include?

I'm a full stack developer with 11 years of experience. I'm really good at Javascript and Elixir, and I have experience with Django, Wordpress, and Rails. Recently I've been tinkering with programming language design.
