Nice.

The earliest jaw-dropping water effect I saw (and somewhat understood at 14) was the awesome credits scene from the Iguana's Earthquake demo[0].

The code[1] contains the following explanation (ancient DOS chars fixed with chatGPT)

  ; // UpdateTable : performs one integration step on U[CT]
  ; Differential equation is:  u  = a²( u  + u  )
  ;                             tt       xx   yy
  ;
  ; Where a² = tension * gravity / surface_density.
  ;
  ; Approximating second derivatives by central differences:
  ;
  ;  [ u(t+1)-2u(t)+u(t-1) ] / Δt² = a² (u(x+1)+u(x-1)+u(y+1)+u(y-1)-4u) / h²
  ;
  ; (where Δt = time step, h=Δx=Δy = mesh resolution)
  ;
  ; From where u(t+1) may be calculated as:
  ;                   ┌   1   ┐
  ; u(t+1) = a²Δt²/h² │ 1 0 1 │u - u(t-1) + (2-4a²Δt²/h²)u
  ;                   └   1   ┘
  ;
  ; When a²Δt²/h² = ½ last term vanishes, giving:
  ;                   ┌   1   ┐
  ;        u(t+1) = ½ │ 1 0 1 │u - u(t-1)
  ;                   └   1   ┘
  ;
  ; This needs only 4 ADD/SUB and one SAR operation per mesh point!

Politics, football (soccer) and religion are always very sensitive topics.

Maybe the OP's "not that important" was an unfortunate way to put it.

I think the answers you ask for are in Ordinatio Sacerdotalis[0]

Exactly. I knew what the link was about and didn't study at ETH Zurich. I (mistakenly?) think Oberon is that kind of "roots knowledge" shared between all of us, like Lisp or Forth. That's why I asked when one should stop clarifying things. Maybe some people need to know what a compiler os, or a VM, or a windowing system, or ...whatever.

What I mean is that having so much info at the toe of our tips, comments like "you should put a link about what this thing is" are needless.

Honest question. Where does one stop clarifying things?

I always loved that intro too [0] :-) I implemented the effect in Pascal back then.

FYI, you can download the source code [1].

Honestly, I feel that everything UI related has gone backwards to the stone age.

I wonder how hard would it be to go back to visual designers like we had with Delphi or VB6. There were flexible layout container components which helped a lot when adapting forms to varying screen resolutions.

All companies I've worked at had (paid) on-call set up. The right to disconnect isn't incompatible with business needs and the law contemplates it. Also, nurses and doctors do it too.

I remember not only running commands while debugging. I remember moving the program counter back, until a statement above my breakpoint, making live changes in the code and stepping it again until the breakpoint to see the effects of my changes without needing to restart the program.

I consider myself a generalist, but, to be honest, I don't remotely think that I "know a lot of everything". In fact, I suffer about the contrary :-)

About the "when do I say 'I know enough'"...well, never. I just follow my curiosity and it's infinite ramifications. I loss/gain interests about very diverse topics in a somewhat short amount of time.

I'd pay (even more) for Apple to have the same backwards compatibility policy as Microsoft has.

So,

  $ git-down -d bootstrap-dist https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap.git:master dist
is *way* better than

  $ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/twbs/boostrap.git
  $ cd bootstrap
  $ mv ./dist ~/stuff/boostrap-latest 
because: "C'mon, you don't have the time to be doing all that."

And then we wonder how the fuck we end with malware in our systems.

Pandora's box has been opened.

Next step: embed Bellard's JSLinux (https://bellard.org/jslinux/) and have a fullblown OS with development environment, office suite and all inside a PDF.

Same club here. I feel comfortable even with the crappiest terminal out there, as far as it allows me to write commands and read/copy output. Even the terminal in the Inferno OS felt good enough for me, like 20 years ago.

Thank you!

I know the plugin, but it seems to work only for Github hosted repos. I want my notes to be elsewhere.

A few days ago I wrote a small utility to setup cron-like timers to pull/push my Obsidian notes :-)
