This is a cool syllabus that mixes philosophy, history, legal theory, and a bit of poli sci into one account of the European state

It would be really cool to see an Asia focused version of the same thing

Finally, somebody started to work on a Common Mark parser for Common Lisp!

I definitely have to review all libraries to parse Markdown!

The very last Debadasi of the Jagannatha Temple of Puri, Parasamani Mahari, singing the Anandabhairabi classic 'Ki Sobha Go Kunje Madanamohana' — one of the most iconic songs of Odisha. The Maharis were treasure-houses of authentic #OdissiMusic.

Linking the video link once again: It is very well presented - concise and clear on what it tells. Couple of names were said incorrectly, but let's leave that with the एको हि दोषो गुण संन्निपाते। निमज्जतीन्दोः किरणेष्विवांकः logic🙏

Do watch, and share.

A HOPL must read for Smalltalkers is Dan Ingalls’ “The evolution of Smalltalk: from Smalltalk-72 through Squeak”.

A very personal history from the person who built them. Lots of new info.

John Clayton's "Religions, Reasons and Gods: Essays in Cross-cultural Philosophy of Religion", a summary of which can be found here:

I documented this process of annotating source code using Pandoc here:

This can really come in handy when reviewing legacy code for reverse/re-engineering.

RT @awbjs: Languages covered by HOPL-4 papers: APL, C++, Closure, Fortran parallelism, D, Emacs Lisp, F#, Groovy, Hygienic Macros (Scheme), JavaScript, LabVIEW, Logo. MATLAB, Objective-C, Oz, R, Smalltalk, ML, Verilog

Head of Dionysos | Gandhara, 4th-5th C

South Indian family values FTW

Wrote about a few anti-patterns I find counterproductive in Nix.

@svat This is what I came up with -

If you see the annotated source: you will see this is much simpler than using org tangling. (of course org can do lot more)

HOPL proceedings includes the definitive copy of “JavaScript: The First 20 Years” by me and @BrendanEich. Differs from preprint in minor corrections and formatting changes—plus a bonus surprise. Preprint has been downloaded over 20000 times since March.

Found a solution!

Include highlight.js () via pandoc's -B flag.

Brilliant article by @Ada_Palmer

Just now registered for this. Dr Shobha and I went to the same beginning Samskrta classes, but she went on ahead to get a doctorate. 🙏

I am sure this course will interest many in my timeline. 3 weeks daily classes. Check wout Vyoma

4. Plenty of static site generators exist out there, and in most every language, but too many are focused on being a blog. I've found to be the best for rapidly making a static site without the legacy "static generated blog for github" junk.

@deech @ArmyOfBruce @pervognsen @dotstdy @tom_forsyth Is that like nim's result?

@btbytes Web is in beta, but I have been using it for 1 year to make my interactive fiction and city building games:

it progresses silently, without loud events. Boom and PWA was added out of the box. Boom, improved performance

Breakfast is not the most important meal of the day.

That's a line invented by marketers to sell you cereal.

If you are curious about #nim and how it can replace #python for programming tasks, this is a tiny taste

Here's someone getting sued by Amazon over a non-compete after (allegedly) being told by an Amazon VP that there's no need to worry about the non-compete.

Me on the very idea of ‘Western’ philosophy

This whole course is awesome. 😍

Haskell for Imperative Programmers

wrote the same thing using #nimlang #nim

I was able to use a somewhat unique feature of nim called source code filters -

@wordsandbuttons See Chit Funds, they are both a savings and a borrowing product. They are quite popular in south India. Traditionally they were between a group of trusted individuals, now they are offered by non-banking financial institutions also -

I have a mountain of photos I will honestly never categorize. I may just take this sweet tiny little C computer vision library and see if I can automate it:

My dream is to be able to go "Find all high contrast photos of people near Chiang Mai."

Next we have a fairly complete Nim web framework:

If you are kind of tired of Python being slow and managed like a bad restaurant then try out Nim. It's on my list of things to play with next.

@EPButler @nkgrock @openmindedatma @intheewebeseech Ed makes this case beautifully in the essay, The Gods and Brahman.

"I would like to say that the garden I have now will probably be my last. Twenty years on from digging up the lawn, I have a space that is more inspirational and restful than I could have ever imagined. I feel the garden has come of age."

wonderful read

Watched the original The Mask with Jim Carrey with my daughter (who wasn't even alive when it was released) and she loved Milo! Who Framed Roger Rabbit is one of her favorite films so she saw the parallels.

Another great night for a ride! On the other side of town from ⁦@btbytes⁩...

@hallidude

@vikasgorur I've been putting off reading this book just because I think I might not be able to take it. Will get to it sometime.

Preach.

@btbytes There's also .

Sqlite already can import csv files "natively" as I showed in this example -

throw a query textbox on the top to sort/query, filter the tabular data below, and it can be a really sweet setup (for me ;)

I'm really glad I found Table Tool (). which I've made my default CSV app. It is the fastest way for me to peek at csv files.
I'd really love for it to have simple query mechanism by automatically creating an sqlite table in-memory for every csv improrted.

I learnt recently that the below verse has the distinction of appearing both in the Rāmāyaṇa (spoken by Mārīca and Vibhīṣaṇa) and the Mahābhārata (spoken by Vidura and Vyāsa).

01:14:03-01:15:35

What are some other verses sharing this distinction?

Great night for a ride!!!
