Re:Inform 7 v10.1.0 is now open-source on Thursday April 28, 2022 @06:30PM (#31199028)
This is so exciting to see! I became obsessed with Inform7 a while back after I learned about it from "The best things and stuff of 2014" [1]. I remember scouring the web for its source code and being really bummed it wasn't open source. I can't wait to finally dive in! I've never seen a literate program of this scale before.

Re:Apple Unveils the iPad Pro on Wednesday September 09, 2015 @06:18PM (#10195031)
Exactly.

I think Apple is primarily trying to attract artists and other creative types with the Pro. A good friend of mine is planning on giving up his Wacom and moving to an iPad Pro instead.

I love the extended abstract at the top that includes the principle findings and conclusion. More academic papers should use this format.

I didn't realize Chrome supported panoramic video like that. Pretty cool.

You should be able to use inline assembly in rust-nightly: https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/book/inline-assembly.html
I used Ada during my first internship (avionics software). However, the group I was part of was in the middle of phasing out Ada in favor of C/C++. This was around 2010-2012.
Re:Step-by-step JavaScript interpreter, written in JavaScript on Thursday October 09, 2014 @05:27PM (#8435100)
Cool project, but the title initially lead me to believe this was a tutorial on building a JavaScript interpreter. :(

I feel the need to point out that you can run Mac OS X on pretty much any recent Intel processor and a wide range of motherboards. It is not locked to Apple hardware.
