Craft software that makes people feel something - Raphael Amorim Recently, people have been asking me why I’m pausing Boo to work on a programming language. I think it would actually be cool to write down how I feel.

The level at which western companies are outsourcing tech jobs to offshore is insane. Despite what the media says, this is the reason for layoffs, not AI.

Stochastic parrot - user confidentiality.

These people should go back to horoscopes and tarot cards - about the same level of accuracy, but way better privacy.

The author definitely has a point when it comes to overengineering, but putting Redis here, and the amount of bloat on this simple page makes it quite ironic.

John Carmack on updating variables Posted in r/programming by u/levodelellis • 394 points and 294 comments

Every piece of software is a state machine. Any mutable variable adds a staggering number of states to that machine.

Yup, Chrome is the new Internet Explorer.

Yeah, this thing will survive a nuclear apocalypse :)

Wow, I remember when you talked about this thing on my twitter thread, it's quite fascinating. Where did you manage to find it? :)

A yellow retail box of the Elektronika MK 61, a Soviet-era programmable calculator, is placed on top of a brown cardboard shipping box from Ukrposhta, the national postal service of Ukraine. The calculator box features an image of the device on the right and Russian text on the left describing its functions.

The image shows the contents of a vintage Elektronika MK 61 calculator set laid out on a dark surface. From left to right, the items include: A blue plastic protective case for the calculator. The Elektronika MK 61 calculator itself, turned on and displaying green hex digits of a program on its LED screen. A grey Soviet-style power adapter with a two-prong plug. A user manual in Russian titled "РУКОВОДСТВО ПО ЭКСПЛУАТАЦИИ" (User Manual) with "МК 61" and "ЭЛЕКТРОНИКА" (Elektronika) on the cover, featuring a circular image of the calculator's keypad design in orange, black, and white.

Got my package today! A brand new (in 1991) in box, Soviet RPN programmable calculator MK-61.

105 bytes to enter a program, 4 registers of stack, 15 memory slots for variables.

I learned to code on a calculator like this one.
