Discord uses a custom markup language. They call it Markdown, while it's not really Markdown. Buzzword.

C++ has a built-in logic deduction engine. It's not free, it's like a second program you are writing alongside the main one.

SSG for Git is something new for me.

Alex tells us that, for him, baking and cooking are easier than programming and soldering, because the errors there average out. As for me, this is completely inverse.

In programming, an error never fixes itself. You can observe it and fix it, you can write tests. You can run the program multiple times. It's you who fixes it, and you can understand how it's done. It's measurable!

Meanwhile, cooking is a nightmare. Burning something is routine for me. Is that too much or too little oil? For how long do I fry? What do I do with these spices? Do they really affect the taste? And to observe something, I can't rely on symbolic things like text. No, I have to look (is this color good? No idea!), smell (as if I know the difference) and taste (nothing more inaccurate).

I'm happy when something can be cooked with a timer. 15 min for buckwheat? I'm in. I'm more happy when the time is short. 4 min for this thin kind of spaghetti? Already boiling water!

I mean, even boiling water is not simple. My parents told me to wait until the correct bubbles appear. I'm waiting for the scary ones. Also, salt is supposed to make it boil faster. How much salt do I add?

And I didn't even talk about plants, which Alex also considers easy. They're not 😭

Collection of encrypted correspondence between the compiler and various correspondents, in approximately 150 alphabets, accompanied by transcriptions of the letters in Arabic. The compiler cites Shihāb al-Dīn al-Jindī al-ʻAlāʼī, Burhān al-Dīn al-Qudsī, and Taqī al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn Jaʻfar al-Ḥusaynī as authorities for some of the alphabets. The manuscript is incomplete, lacking its beginning and end. Occasional marginal notes. Some worm damage in margins.

An exploration of the evolution and meaning of the Forth programming language and its context in history.

A long long article about Forth. One probably already knows most of stuff there, but it's fun nevertheless.

Now split into three separate packages. Still in Python.

In Paris, they turn shopping carts into mobile corn cooking stations. Looks fun.

Adriane, the Gemini browser for Android, and the Gempub format, were made in this digital lab.

Very true! Some time ago I came to a similar conclusion, and since then try to not joke like that.
