the copy on OP's pages is so full of claude-isms that it quickly became unbearable, for me. the claude-ism you quote above at least made me laugh.

duckdb is ~7 years old by now. it was quite popular long before it became 1.0. heck, even motherduck has been founded 4 years ago.

You might want to have a look at Elgato's Stream Decks.

It's still an absolutely amazing piece of hardware. So definitely play around with it, if you ever come across one.

These are single-sided, the Steam Deck requires a single-sided M.2 2230. Agreed that frame.work should mention that in their shop listing.

Your "different approach" sounds almost exactly like the approach proposed in the fine article for the "ESP too small" case (a case which you assume as a given).

Which book(s), at which university? Genuinely curious.

Re:Notation as a Tool of Thought (1986) [pdf] on Saturday October 23, 2021 @05:23PM (#28972422)
i regularly use K (an APL descendant) as "pseudo-code".

in fact, i regularly _think_ about problems in an array-programming fashion, heavily inspired by K. when jotting them down, i often use K. when turning them into actual code to run, it's mostly immaterial if i then use K, J, numpy, julia, etc. the general approach translates well into a multitude of array programming varieties.

as such, i don't believe your point 5 holds. this way of thinking is certainly off mainstream, as is, e.g constraint programming, but there are niches where people use it highly productively. you won't necessarily glean that from the output coming from those niches, though.

Re:The V Programming Language on Tuesday September 15, 2020 @11:57AM (#24482748)
worth noting, at the end of christine's update mentioned above:

"I do not plan to make any future update posts about the V programming language in the future. The V community is something I would really rather not be associated with. This is an edited-down version of the post that was released last week (2020 M06 17).

"As of the time of writing this note to the end of this post and as far as I am aware, I am banned from being able to contribute to the V language in any form. I am therefore forced to consider that the V project will respond to criticism of their language with bans. This subjective view of reality may not be accurate to what others see."

for anyone considering getting involved, read christine's three articles on the topic first: https://christine.website/blog/series/v
