Nights Out21st July 2025
Sambuca has always sounded interesting.I do like licorice quite a bit. Apparently there is some coffee bean burning ritual or something with it... |

Vincent Price OTR Collection20th July 2025
During a particularly rough time in my life I found listening to low stimulus forms of entertainment a nice distraction.I ended up knitting an entire Christmas scarf for my mom while listening to some old time radio over the period of a week. There is a*snip* |

I've always been a Nintendo guy but I think I'm going to hold off on this one until I see the direction that the key carts take at $80 a piece...I tend to hold on to my games having many systems and physical cartridges so I want something that*snip* |

Grapefruit20th July 2025
Just as bitter as I remember it but I was craving something a little sharper than orange. It is one of those strange fruits that causes medications to either be too effective or ineffective. I ended up enjoying it quite a bit after spending a day doing *snip* |

[PG-13 warning]What was the poison of choice today? I partake once in a blue moon, (and sometimes Blue Moon). I also like some of the hard iced tea - especially the peach from Jack Daniels and Twisted. I'll have an IPA with certain company but the*snip* |

It seems reasonable to me. Maybe update the rules for the FAQ section. Looks like we had another childish temper tantrum and somebody went through deleting all his posts. |

BASIC - Programming language of yesterdays?17th July 2025
Microsoft BASIC is nebulous today unless you mean the licensed hobby language by Gates et al.There has been Altair Basic, M BASIC, GW Basic, Quick Basic, Visual Basic, Visual Basic For Applications and Visual Basic .NET. I think Microsoft is pushing C# *snip* |

Small Silly Question - How to Play Sound?17th July 2025
It would be best to open up Max IDE so you can look at the help page. There's a sound playing example. I would suggest reading the whole manual first. (Linkage) |

JSE vs Source Files17th July 2025
Global variables would probably stomp each other too between files.You might be able to do package/module scope though with a prefix on the globals... The idea would be that you generate new globals with a different name and the user's variables get*snip* |

I'm Trying BlitzMax for the first time16th July 2025
Well, don't let the lack of a community deter you if a language is good.The very best thing you can do when learning a language is read the whole spec. That way you get an idea of the big picture of the language. You don't have to understand ev*snip* |

I'm Trying BlitzMax for the first time16th July 2025
There is a lot of missing documentation in BlitzMax (and NG which is the only one that's not dead).It is best to learn a tool like grep to dig through the source .bmx files for answers on how things with missing documentation work. (This is another e*snip* |

Simulation Week15th July 2025
One very simple model of a computer for early education was the ''Little Man Computer''.The model consists of simulation of a little man trapped in a post office with 100 boxes, an inbox and an outbox and a calculator that only does addition and *snip* |

Monty Python - The Witch Trial15th July 2025
Since Prolog's domain is deduction (drawing conclusions from sparse details), I thought the famous witch trial scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail would be fun.It turns out, if we impose the rules from the movie into Prolog we can deduce that *snip* |

3D Printed Mutant Monty15th July 2025
I wish they'd push cheaper subtractive (machining) technology as hard as they've pushed 3D printing.I often have a need for strong parts and 3D printing always has the brittle sheering issue. Some time ago I spent some money for a cartridge hous*snip* |

Getting to know language history14th July 2025
Generally languages link from influenced by to influenced on Wikipedia, it's become a semi-standard format.Guess what Wikipedia page had no information for that when the graph was compiled? 😉 It is best to just look to the BASIC neighborhood and *snip* |

Getting to know language history13th July 2025
It's very simple - people got tired of entering binary (or hex) machine code to drive computers. (Check out the Kenbak - 1 or KIM-1)They gave these instructions names. Later the assembler would turn these names back into the operations. Eventually*snip* |

Getting to know our history13th July 2025
One of my hobbies is programming language lineage and taxonomy.Some people seem to get stuck in a 5 to 10 year buffer around their favorite language but history offers much more to explore! One of my favorite sites gives fairly deep insight into the hun*snip* |
