Whoa, very cool!


Thank you!


Free energy theory is so interesting to me - I think there are some very interesting, unexplored, overlaps with Boyd's OODA loop that are begging to be studied


It's really great to see this list growing (when I first heard of this last year it was only about 800 I think).

I'd love to hear from anyone at a remote company about the things you need to do differently to succeed. I have a hypothesis from my time in the military that you have to be much more disciplined around communication and mission when you're not all in the same place.


I read that case study - really cool stuff!


Interviewee here. AMA, particularly if you're a veteran who wants to get into tech.

I'd love to hear from my betheren over the pond what the signalling and transition process is like for guys and gals leaving the US forces.


As with most things military, there is a lot more support in the US. There is the @vetswhocode group on Twitter which is a charity set up to get vets back into work. America in general does this a lot better than we do!


Yes, unfortunately you're right that they do the whole signposting and support better than we do.

There are bodies in the UK who are providing more support for example https://techvets.co/ and many of the large financial institutions in London have veterans programs these days, but we've got a long way to go in comparison!


Thanks for this. I'm halfway though the book you wrote in 24 hours at the moment :-)


Thanks, hope you enjoyed the book!


Looks really nice! I'm looking forward to trying this out.


You can read the whole book for free online: https://natureofcode.com/book/

Which I highly recommend - it's great! :-)


Great suggestions (and book suggestions)!


30 ish years is young for a programming language now?


PL1 is approximately 54, and it was put together to cover the application domains of 2 previous language successes, Fortran and COBOL, which still live. Fortran is more than twice 30 years old, BASIC approximately 53, RPG 59.


Haskell is the youngest language that isn’t derivative.Monads for IO weren’t being seriously used until the late 90s. All the imperative C derivative languages are much older.


A very young language that is (to my knowledge) not derivative of older ones unless you count Excel: https://www.luna-lang.org

It comes with C, JS, and Haskell interoperability, and it's implemented in Haskell, but the heart of the language is its visual representation. I have personally never seen anything like it before.
