Hacker News always likes lisp stuff, and even though this is a very simple compiler I had a lot of fun writing it.
I started writing a different compiler, but tied myself in knots with the type-encoding, and lack of clear plan. I figured I'd step back and try a lisp, because there's a known syntax, and it is minimal.
The end result supports lists, integers, strings, characters, lambdas (with closures), and a reasonable standard library - big enough to hack up a small brainfuck interpreter along with the standard fibonacci, factorial, and fizzbuzz toy programs.
So it's a toy, but it's my toy, and maybe interesting to some!
Many YC companies do bad things, and I guess they do so independently. There may well be repercussions for the most egregious cases, but I suspect a lot of ill-behaviour simply flies under the radar.
For example only yesterday I got spam from an YC company, Polymath, and I replied back asking where they got my details from - no response yet. Once I get something I'll make a GDPR subject access request, then a deletion request. I hope the overhead of that causes them to rethink their spamming campaign.
Perhaps it varied on the school, or perhaps they tried to make it a little less divided on gender lines since my time. (I'm 50.)
Housework, sewing, knitting and stuff I'd been exposed to at home due to a pretty large family already. Though otherwise I would have probably benefited from it, and it did strike me even at the time that it would be best if we could do both classes, rather than having to pick only one.
I moved to Finland, and starting when my child was about three years old I took him to Oodi every weekend.
The soft-play area was heaven for him, and he liked flicking through the donald-duck comic books.
Even now, when he's nine, I go every month or two with him for an afternoon. He has no shortage of books at home, but he gets to run around, look at books, and play with other kids. He enjoys himself enormously.
It might be you need to make a choice to choose it; I know that when I was at school in the UK I got to choose between "CDT" (craft, design, and technology) or home economics, which was sewing, cooking, & etc.
I picked woodwork, as 95% of the boys did, and about 80% of the girls picked the home-lessons instead.
I do recall doing some sewing lessons outwith the home-ec classes, but it was very irregular. I know I skipped some stuff because my grandmother had already taught me to knit when I was six-eight years old. Only at home did I use a sewing machine, never at school.
Helsinki has a lot of parks, and also housing companies tend to have trees in their gardens, along with trees alongside many of the bigger roads. But even so it's a reasonably dense city.
Espoo is much more spread out, and the areas between them are all full of trees and greenery. So I very much agree with you, I've visited Espoo a few times but without a car I wouldn't want to live there.
I had a similar realization recently; I was writing a compiler so I implemented a "random" function as part of the runtime.
To avoid regression I have some simple code examples I compile and execute, and I compare their output to "known good" versions.
I reached a point where I wanted to write a "sort array" routine and my immediate thought was to generate an array of 50 random numbers, sort them, and print them. But of course that wouldn't give me predictable output for my test-driver.
In the end I decided I'd do that when run interactively, but for testing purposes I'd just sort the characters in a string "The quick brown fox .." and while it isn't super-convincing it's enough to let me see regressions in my sorting function and/or array indexing runtime code.
I've been working on a linux/amd64 compiler for a simple scripting language, it barely seems worth discussing as many people have created their own languages, and it's done just for learning/fun rather than in an attempt to be serious.
But seeing the projects other people work on is fascinating, and always interesting. (Ignoring all the "agent .." stuff, I can never be too excited about.)
In the TV show "Auf Wiedersehen, Pet" the plot revolves around a gang of Geordie brickies who are contracted to dismantle an iconic bridge, The Tees Transport Bridge, from England and rebuild it for a wealthy buyer in Arizona
I had a domain registered and I got notices for about five email addresses - but after a while I was told I'd had too many localparts appear in breaches and I had to pay to upgrade.
It might have changed again now, but that was the point I deleted my account. The pricing list seems to imply a limit on the local-parts for a domain, though ..
For me, with a similar wildcard setup, it became something I wasn't willing to spend money on. I work on the basis that accounts are compromised and if the company is large enough I'll see it in the news. Strong passwords, and a password-database is the best I can manage.
(Depends on the era of course, sometimes there are other timelords, sometimes not.)
