Does it support the Pencil?

I read the headline in Celsius and thought that they were a bit too hot.

Ancient Rome also had slavery.

What does it have to do with the Lisp machine?

Pretty much all of graphics research now revolves around machine learning, whether it’s neural networks or something like Gaussian splatting.

Starovery (Old Believers) maybe?

Blogspam, here’s the source: https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-updates-next-steps-fo...

It's derived from Jedi Academy's source code which is licensed under GPL.

FreeBSD is definitely not a "GPL OS", the license is right in the name!

A/UX predates Xserve by 14 years.

I'm pretty sure this is just the mod SDK as well.

That repository is not the engine, it's just the code for the client.dll/server.dll binaries that contain game-specific logic and some other tools.

Didn't Valve release a huge update to Half-Life in 2023 (i.e. 6 years after the linked comment was written)?

Is it Tasha?

> I do wonder what a language with the same “taste” and minimalism as Scheme but embracing the actor model would look like.

There is Spritely Goblins: https://spritely.institute/goblins/

You haven't seen the Lisp subreddit then, there is a post complaining about having to learn Emacs at least once every week or so.

There is an explanation in the blog: https://coalton-lang.github.io/20260424-mine/

> However, the above is a tall order for someone just wanting to dip their toes in, to see if they have any interest in Coalton or Common Lisp. A couple hours on the weekend is easily sunk into getting configurations right, and the right subsystems installed, and the right paths setup, just so the first line of code can be executed.

> mine is not Emacs. It aims to eliminate all of that, and be a Coalton/Lisp-first development environment, whose only job is to be a Coalton/Lisp-first development environment. But more than that, it needs to be accessible. A non-programmer should find it easy to download, install, and run mine with nothing more than a download link.

OpenLook is nice but it's a bit of a shame it doesn't have its own version of Workbench.

A base becomes useless pretty quickly if it can't be resupplied, I suspect there is enough hostile AA around it to ensure that.

There is the Heroic Game Launcher that also interfaces with the Epic Games Store.

At least one of the lead developers of Étoilé moved on to CHERI.

Haiku is not related to Étoilé.

It's not technologically feasible unless plastic aka flexible ICs take off.

Azul Systems was making Java machines a while ago.

When did they add that? When I was trying to learn Japanese 6-7 years ago Duolingo didn’t have anything for either kana or kanji…

I remember reading or hearing somewhere that this was a one-off thing, but I can't remember where.

EDIT: Another comment mentioned Chet Faliszek, he was probably the source.

Juniors usually learn on the job.

Intel demonstrated a RISC-V chip called Horse Creek two years ago.
