Do you have the right to kill your child? You have a moral resposibility as soon as you get other people involved.

This is interesting. While languages like Python, Lisp and probably Lua can run on a microcontroller, they are never going to be completely trusted unless you have control over memory use. In Jinx it seems like you can/must define your own memory allocation function.

Just FYI: Lua also allows you to provide your own allocator function.

In fact, the core API function to create a new Lua state (lua_newstate()) requires an allocator function but usually people use a library API function (luaL_newstate()) for state creation that calls the core API using an allocator based on the standard C functions.

This is also possible in common lisp.

Why not carry a tiny paper calendar in your back pocket? I do. It's great! Quick and always avaiable.

I used to use remind, but now it's mostly for birthday reminders. And work appointments require logging in to Outlook anyway.

Years ago I wrote a PDF generator for Passepartout (http://www.stacken.kth.se/project/pptout/) from reading the PDF book. I though it was a well designed format. It is a binary format though, for the sake of efficiency.

In Sweden, my grandparents' generation didn't even consider garlic food. It was something you had to buy at the pharmacy.

The original Swedish meatballs were flavoured with allspice, but I think most people today think allspice has an old-fashioned taste.

I have released v1.1.0 with Hemingway mode now.

Hemingway mode is a good idea!

As for the man page, I don't want to recommend anyone to install files manually in /usr. The man page is there mostly in case anybody would want to package fri for a distribution.

From reading the title, I though this had something to do with golang being used in university classes. Is there a point to the custom of capitalizing most words in headings in English? It doesn't seem to improve legibility and you can normally tell it is a heading from the size and weight of the font.

I’m guessing that Title Case in English is a logical extension of the European norm of capitalizing proper nouns; a title is the proper noun used to identify a written work.

This doesn't seem like a European norm to me, maybe it is done in German but I don't see it in English or French publications.

I was making a comparison between European proper nouns (like Jacques and Hans) and English title case. I was speculating why the English title case practice arose.

Greene is brilliant as always, but I found it to be a very bleak novel. You feel sorry for all the characters, because they have low self-esteem and are powerless to control their own destinies.
