Our interactions with computers should be driven by art, not business.
i have to praise the _insanely good_ "LISP From Nothing" book from @AverageDog@mastodon.social once more. apart from the fact that on every page i think "i could never think or code that", it is packed with cool info. For example, when you compile scheme to C and you want to have, an instruction pointer of sorts to jump to your functions, how do you do it in a language that doesn't support computed goto without accumulating function calls?
for(k=0;;) switch (k) {
case 0:
k=apply(...); break;
case ...
}
Are you writing code tonight without some top deep/progressive tunes to keep you company? I knew it, that's why i have this set here for you ;)
since 2013 i've had the honor to run, alongside various friends on the way, a tiny obscure hacker community over at 2f30.org (mostly on #openbsd boxen). recently a cloud node died and they said "sorry this offering exists no more, there is no way to get your data" (lol). so i lost some mail users. Within the next couple of days at least 5 friends that i had lost contact over the years reconnected to get their new accounts. A testament to a rock solid OS, and a happy interrupt in the data flow.
