rm /.txt

or find ./ -type f -name ".txt" | xargs rm

No Compiler: using C libraries from Lua, writing software without a compiler
This is just awesome! Huge thanks for teaching me flexbox today.
Started programming when I was 8 using basic.
Things have changed a lot since then, but one thing probably hasn't:
The best incentive I got to continue learning how to program was my ability to impress others.

I would develop screen savers (Lines floating on the screen, lines being drawn randomly on screen, ball bouncing off the edges of the screen, flying into a star-field as the stars move away from the center of the screen), and show them off to my friends and family.
I would develop a small game (spaceship moves up and down to avoid hitting incoming asteroids) - I'd show it to my friends. Let my brothers play the game.

These were the type of rewarding tasks that led me to keep on learning and experimenting.

If you're doing Python - I strongly recommend "Inventing computer games with python" https://inventwithpython.com/
Using pygame, you can get really quick graphical results, and start showing off some awesome things.
I even built a Tetris game based on pygame a while back when I was learning python myself.

Also - if you're doing turtle programming, check out http://pythonturtle.org/ - an awesome implementation of turtle graphics for python.

Hi, sorry we didn't have time to make a thorough comparison. Our focus is very tiny embedded platforms and we tuned our tradeoffs for that target from the start, while duktape looks to be going in that direction.

When you initialise V7 on an embedded platform the runtime consumes only 873 bytes. V7 can interpret code on the device or run precompiled bytecode straight off flash memory, including all the referenced strings.

At the moment duktape offers more features that we postponed for later, such as ES6 Proxy or TypedArray, but on the other hand V7 focuses more on dealing with heap fragmentation by implementing a compacting GC for strings and other memory footprint goodies.

We successfully run it on the esp8266 device.
Performance is what we sacrificed in order to focus on footprint. However it's acceptable for scripting needs. Don't expect to compute SHA2 in pure JS while streaming your data full wire-speed :-(

Requirement wise, V7 is completely self-contained and requires only malloc or an equivalent shim. stdio requirement is optional and can be compiled out easily.

The C API plays well with both null terminated strings and non-null terminated strings, making it easier to integrate V7 with other languages or with embedded scenarios where copying too much data around is just not an option.

"It's very much a calculated thing, not an “instinct”. Social systems are driven by the signals the involved parties send each other. If you tell them “I won't retaliate”, they will act accordingly."

Uh, in dysfunctional settings this might be a valid strategy. Sure, I understand swift reprisal when the social code requires it for the individuals survival. But it's still a pathology - on the scale of the society. And luckily, not present in a modern civil society. If you live in such an environment then I am truly sorry for your current status.

And I claim we are partly at least talking two different things. Grudges spanning centuries between populations, and intra-population social dynamics are on two different levels.

Any way, if one needs to be vengeful to survive in a society I admit the root cause might not be the attitude of the agent-of-vengeance but deeper dysfunctions on a societal level.

The vengeance intent still produces absolutely no benefit to anyone.

" In the long run, the actions of a free nation, good or bad, can be entirely attributed to its people"

This would be a situation where the majority of population is actually driving the policy of the nation, instead of reacting to policies of the governing body. Usually it's the latter - the political elite and their network driving the political train. If there ever was a situation where the political leadership was simply enacting the "average will of the people" I would enjoy any references you can provide.

If the population is not driving the policies then it cannot be blaimed for the policies. Blaming the children of the perpetrators of any foul act is quite irrational (although practiced, yes, but still irrational and considered as such in civilized nations).

"Nonsense. Nationhood is as concrete as is your mother tongue and culture."

In general, nationhood as we understand it in the modern world is a fairly young concept politically. It's just one more football club to support. Mother tongue and culture are far more deeply rooted. For instance, Italy was a rambling collection of political entities after the roman times ended until Napoleon came and decided that governing the peninsula under one government was far more convenient. New club - one government.

The idea expressed at the end of the article "orbiting mirrors could be used to extend the length of daylight hours for harvests" actually sounds like it could be very reasonable. Vertical farming and aquaponics is currently restricted by light to a large extent. If this solves the lighting problem for vertical farming, we could end up with a 10000 layer farm built into an old mine quary that could feed a large country. And then all of that farm land could be left to nature :) Deforestation could be reversed, and the reversal of deforestation could play a key roll in reducing the roll of carbon emissions...
Excellent advertisement for GINA BIANCHINI, she is an awesome person and this totally isn't a advertorial.
This is a smaller version of this:

"
Znamya was an experiment in orbital lighting—using orbiting mirrors to light parts of the earth (or even entire cities) at night with reflected sunlight.

The idea behind the program was that a collection of orbiting mirrors could be used to extend the length of daylight hours for harvests, major construction projects, and disaster response operations, a concept originally concocted by German space theorist Hermann Oberth (one of the fathers of modern rocketry) in the 1920s

I think the problem is when the regulatory body forms an unhealthy relationship with the companies that end up becoming monopolies (regulatory capture, good old fashioned corruption, revolving doors between the two, erc) and discourage new entrants.

It's a balance. It's hard.

I always thought fractals and similar were great introductory programs for children.

The fractals need only a few lines of code, with a bit of extra boiler plate. Tweaking the formula can give dramatically different results. You get to use a variety of programming concepts in a short program.

Relevant books are

Dynamical Systems and Fractals (Karl-Heinz Becker, Michael Dörfler) (This book has extensive Pascal code) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dynamical-Systems-Fractals-Computer-...

http://ebooks.cambridge.org/ebook.jsf?bid=CBO9780511663031

Fractals - Images of Chaos (Hans Lauwerier) (This book has an appendix of BASIC code) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fractals-Images-Chaos-Penguin-Scienc...

Sadly neither book is suitable for general 11 year olds, but a modern version certainly could be.

And A.K. Dewdney obviously has a bunch of books which could be used to inspire young programmers. The Armchair Universe, or The Magic Machine and similar launched many programmers, with "Core War", "Wator", "Bugs", etc
Nice comment, you seem to address few of my thoughts on bad products, longevity and customer support.

I am a bit concerned though companies don't care about the customer and customer support any more... I wonder if they are counting on peoples laziness on searching and moving to an alternative product/service or is it as simple as there are no alternatives with different policies?
That was the thought that went through my mind when I first watched that piece. I think I'm unusually excited by incremental improvement and routine maintenance though.

For those not aware, Scott Adams, a democrat[1] who is well educated in politics and persuasion, has been praising Trump for his methodology. He's written a series of entries dissecting the different manoeuvres the Trump campaign is practicing. Scott is seemingly well regarded here, and I think it's commendable that he tries to separate the machine from the message.

Trump's campaign, like him or not, is a startup-lesson in promotion and survivability.

What a bunch of nonsense !

The colon is a non-starter, not everyone uses a qwerty layout (azerty layout has direct access to the colon) but as ipv4 fields can be smart and automatically add a . after 3 characters or with a press of the left arrow (windows has been doing this for 15+ years), ipv6 fields can automatically add a : when needed.

Omitting leading zeros is not mandatory, you can input all those zeros if you so choose (turns out the author actually does).

Better blobs for double clicking selects them ? Well maybe try triple clicking then, though in my shell with default settings double clicking an ipv6 address selects it.
Also separating fields of 4 characters improves readability, ipv4 also separated fields but I don't see the author criticizing this.

why not re-use the dot from IPv4 notation?
Because it would add unnecessary complexity, also 17 years later is a bit too late to ask for such a drastic change in an established standard.

Lastly if you find the : unappealing, why don't you code your tools to show them as . and while at it add a layer in your code that will translate your preferred way of displaying ipv6 into the actual one ?

All I take from this post is that zerotier is probably incompetent, refractory to ipv6 and is certainly whiny about non-issues.

Uber is just as capitalist as any other company which requires its workers to buy their own tools (which is rather a lot of them). The trick is that those tools don't actually allow you to perform the work in and of themselves - you still need Uber for a steady source of passengers and for regulatory protection, and the only way you'll get that is wage labour.

Surprised there's no mention of Vanadium Redox as an alternative that solves several of these problems even better than Lithium Ion.

They can be fully cycled over 100,000 times (compare to Li-ion's 400-1200, lead's 500-800) and are expected to last 20 to 30 years. They can stay in a single state for long periods of time without degradation and can be rapidly and efficiently charged or discharged. There's also no fire risk.

The biggest downside is size and weight. A refrigerator sized VRB in the attic of a house would work, but that is a dealbreaker for some/most people. These certainly won't go in cars, but as stationary appliances for those with the space, they would work extremely well for solar storage.
