What is a terminal-based game you've played that's worth mentioning?
I've recently been experiencing terminal based games in Termux because I've always heard about them. One very neat thing is that I find myself actually using my imagination way more and it's a feeling that I haven't felt truly in a long time _while playing a game_. I've been enjoying rogue-likes...
A Brief Glance at How Various Text Editors Manage Their Textual Data (ecc-comp.blogspot.com)
I dissected a bunch of editors about a year ago and then added some more that users from Reddit wanted. In no way is this professional or completely accurate.

You may submit ONE feature for LOBSTERS-LANG. Otherwise the great Lobster In The Sky may curse you. That is all. The slate is ready for your chisels.

An FP language which will stand the test of time?
I am looking for an FP language which everyone thinks will last at least 100 years. I am of the belief that FP is very good for hobbyist programming: reuse is very very high. Until now I've used Rust and TypeScript as my daily drivers. These are not languages which I can step away from and come b...

Fun Format Friday: Your stove renders HTML (X computes Y)
What other "your <item> <computes> <thing>" sounds interesting, real or not? Or could be? A couple others: * Your school binder quicksorts papers by dates * Your sliding door transmits WiFi (for door state) --- Less controversial than last week - I'm working on it :)

GitShed: an idea for both a familiar and "low-tech" source forge (len.falken.directory)
Used "ask" to show I'm just looking for conversation around this. I'm familiar with other git forges and how they operate, please keep this in mind while commenting :) Edit: I realize too this could be for any underlying VCS. "SourceShed" is probably a better name :)
Fun Format Friday: An angel hands you 1 billion dollars to develop your magnum opus, no strings
So what're you building that you always wanted or think humanity actually needs than another corporate piece of CRUD? (P.S. Yeah I missed a couple weeks, life has been crazy.)

ActivitySub (len.falken.directory)
After 2 years of having this idea, I've come back to it with some new tools and mindset. Want to see what other think about it before I dive deep...! I believe ActivityPub can really open up the web unlike some other suggestions. Combined with a battle-tested message management system (email clients...
