".fla / XFL import — This is the one I’m most proud of. You can open your old Flash files. As far as I know, this is the only open-source tool that functions as a full authoring environment and can actually import .fla files. Not just play them back — edit them."

as to when they share the source, idk!

Great.

I'd feel better if he had some other core contributors, but this is a great start.

I'm sure we've all met an unhappy teacher. As well, ain't no way you're pulling me back into an office ;)

update the etymology then on wikipedia with your reference

that current etymology is what we’re all talking about obv

i use https://github.com/sirmalloc/ccstatusline and when im around 100k tokens im already thinking about summarizing where we're at in the work so i can start fresh with it

it is pretty rare for me to compact, even if i let it run to 160k

just realized how i wouldn't think about using ccstatusline based a quick glance at its README's images. looks like this for me:

idk how I haven't crossed a lisp with square brackets but dang I am sorta stunned at how I've never even envisioned it? thanks

No shift key needed for square brackets!

Curl was a proprietary Lisp that {curly brackets} and was designed in the 1990s to build web applications.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curl_(programming_language)

I've always found OCaml's (* ... *) comments annoying, because it needs shift for both characters. But I suspect it's easier to type on a french keyboard.

Knuth solves the bracket issue by redefining his keymap to swap () with [] and + with = (macos keymap files found at the bottom of this page: https://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/programs.html )

In high school I tried spec'ing a lang that excluded shift key usage... fun times.

Keyboards of early MIT systems[1] and Lisp Machines[2] had brackets (parentheses) and square brackets on the same key where square brackets and curly brackets are on modern keyboards.

2: http://xahlee.info/kbd/space-cadet_keyboard.html

There's a few lispy languages that support using square brackets as an alternative to parens. Racket even has curly braces too.

The above really reminds me of tcl, though, which uses square brackets to force evaluation of the command they wrap.

don't little kids sometimes eat play-doh, bugs, crayons, etc? new experiences/curiosity i'd imagine

I land on this thread to ctrl-f "taste" and will refresh and repeat later

That is for sure the word of the year, true or not. I agree with it, I think

it was up to 3 when I first posted

it's at 10 now. note: the article does not say "taste" once

18, i'll stop. cheers

they explicitly had an opinion about true color, right in the article we’re discussing

hi. i run "ocr" with dmenu on linux, that triggers maim where i make a visual selection. a push notification shows the body (nice indicator of a whiff), but also it's on my clipboard

  #!/usr/bin/env bash

  # requires: tesseract-ocr imagemagick maim xsel

  IMG=$(mktemp)
  trap "rm $IMG*" EXIT

  # --nodrag means click 2x
  maim -s --nodrag --quality=10 $IMG.png

  # should increase detection rate
  mogrify -modulate 100,0 -resize 400% $IMG.png

  tesseract $IMG.png $IMG &>/dev/null
  cat $IMG.txt | xsel -bi
  notify-send "Text copied" "$(cat $IMG.txt)"

  exit

OFF TOPIC, but, on topic, I decided to goof with playscii yday. It is a powerful little thing, but will take some time for me to get comfortable.

"Playscii is an open source ASCII art and animation program. It runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS."

Good little interview I found with the creator, JP LeBreton (legend, but I didn't know!)

> As far as tooling limitations, GZDoom is not a bed of roses. Very little in the engine is runtime editable, so you have to reload the engine to see any of your changes. A rapid turnaround time for reloading changes is nice but it's far better to have as much as possible live-update. And ideally, in my opinion, you have the editor built into the engine itself, and you can do much of what you need from there without having to jump around to outside programs. Playscii was my first big attempt to build a little environment like that, something you can think in once you learn it well enough, like a musical instrument. Miles to go but that's always where I'm trying to get to.
