NESFab

A programming language that is compiled for NES. Has a built-in map editor and a bank switching. Sometimes I think how it would've been cool to make a game for NES. Maybe this could be a good tool for that.

Come back, c2.com, we still need you | Hacker News

news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35948268

From a discussion of how the newest version of the first wiki sucks. The version does suck, by the way.

I am blind. I do rely on accessibility to interact with a computer. Yes, you could accuse me of deliberately avoiding the modern web, but I have my reasons. Primary reason is performance. Even though I feel like you are talking down to me from a pretty high horse, I still don't wish for you to ever experience how sluggish it feels trying to use the "modern web" with a screen reader on something like Windows. Don't even make me start about the hellhole that is Linux GUI accessibility. It was a nice ride once, before GNOME 3 and the elimination of CORBA killed most of the good work done by good people. Fact is, I am too used to a system which reacts promptly when I press a key to be able to switch to a modern browser by default. That would kill all my productivity. Yes, its a trade, but for now, having no JS engine by default is still way better then the alternatives.

Have a nice day, and enjoy your eye-sight.

Why OO Sucks by Joe Armstrong

harmful.cat-v.org/software/OO_programming/why_oo_sucks

My principle objection to OOP goes back to the basic ideas involved, I will outline some of these ideas and my objections to them.

Joe Armstrong is the creator of Erlang. He has 4 objections to OOP:

  1. He says functions and data structures are very different, so it's incorrect to bind them together. Feels like a weak argument to me.

  2. He somehow says that everything being an objects is wrong, and everything should be a different type instead. This is an even weaker argument.

  3. He dislikes that he can't put all the types in one file. Yeah, it's good you can't!

  4. And something incoherent about states.

I'm not the biggest fan of OOP myself, but this rant is just useless. I am keeping this bookmark just because the site looks cool.
