So if this is "programming for humans", all of us are just writing in some alien language because we're aliens?

When did it become fashionable to call everybody else some variant of insane or delusioned and tout your own solution?

Next thing you know, we'll be marketing it as a "fresh, humanely designed, organic, farm-raised" programming language. ;)

Only if the Word document presented a Turing test.

In what way is this more "humane"?

Programming languages by design are for human consumption. In what way is this "special" or "designed" for them?

I'm sorry, but that doesn't give the connotation that it's "designed for humans". Perhaps if they could give a clear indication of what that means other than "it's in a word document", I'd be more inclined to look at it a little harder.

Sorry, but what about this is "designed for humans"?

What do the keywords mean? What's the language paradigm? Why do I want this when it's essentially coalescing a lot of APIs into a language that you've provided no spec for?

Why would I want my language to work with slack?!

I'm not impressed. It just looks like another functional language with a bunch of addons tacked on to make things "easier" or "for humans".

Drop the buzzwords and get to the meat please.

I see the divide in this country growing every day.

We aren't electing a king or queen.

It's a single political position that's checked by the House and Senate.

And yet because of the media, because of the Republicans, because of the Democrats, we're no longer Americans. We're a people who are being played against each other for revenue in a popularity contest.

I've never seen people act so terribly to each other on such a normalized scale. The polarization scares me.

Divided we fall.

Huh, you could use a double-sided version of this for a byte.

Great, another extension to the ever-growing instruction x86 instruction set...

I'd question why, but at this point, we're just going to keep bolting things on to an existing architecture.

"Microcode it. Why not?"

Nooooo!

I've been trying to mirror it over the past few days, but it keeps going on and off...

Somebody contact Ward Cunningham!

As someone affected by this in the Washington area, is there any other ISP somebody would recommend? Comcast was my last resort, but this just floors me. A terabyte is easy to blow through in a household!

I have to wonder if this will end up spilling over into the ThinkPad line...

I'd be worried at that point.

How exactly are these "SNES Style"?

Just looks like particle effects. I was hoping to see effects that were actually specific to the SNES.
