During the past days, this great article by Sam Pruden has been making the rounds around the gamedev community. While the article provides an in-depth analysis, its a bit easy to miss the point and exert the wrong conclusions from it. As such, and in many cases, users unfamiliar with Godot internals have used it points such as following:

Godot C# support is inefficient
Godot API and binding system is designed around GDScript
Godot is not production ready

In this brief article, I will shed a bit more light about how the Godot binding system works and some detail on the Godot

Don’t Build Your Own Lisp

I feel somewhat pressed to give a negative review of this book. This comes from someone who has worked on various Lisp implementations, and written some amount of C, but that isn’t an excuse to be overly harsh. This book, however, does not provide many nice things to say, and plenty of un-nice things. My apologies in advance.

First off: God help you if you are going to write your first interpreter in C of all things. No one I know thinks it’s a good idea to start

MACLISP and MACSYMA on PDP-10 / ITS (emulation)

Goals

On a Debian machine, using simh emulating a PDP-10 running ITS:

Write some Lisp files on ITS, compile them, and run them.
Run MACSYMA and view rendered plots on an emulated Tektronix 4010

Background

The PATH is an important concept when working on the command line. It's a list of directories that tell your operating system where to look for programs, so that you can just write script instead of /home/me/bin/script or C:\Users\Me\bin\script. But different operating systems have different ways to add a new directory to it:

Windows

The first step depends which version of Windows you're using:

If you're using Windows 8 or 10, press the Windows key, then search for and

Kinesis Freestyle (Terrible key switches. Mushy and un-lovable)
Kinesis Freestyle Edge (Traditional layout with too many keys, mech switches, proably too big to be tented easily/properly)
Matias Ergo Pro (Looks pretty great. Have not tried.)
ErgoDox Kit (Currently, my everyday keyboard. Can buy pre-assembled on eBay.)
ErgoDox EZ (Prolly the best option for most people.)

	;;; init.el --- Fun stuff all around -- lexical-binding: t; --

	;;; Commentary:
	;; This is a simple init.el which offers a Python configuration. Each package
	;; usage is annotated with the how and why of its use. `use-package' is used to
	;; manage the configuration as it provides lots of facilities to load modes,
	;; define custom variables and key-maps, etc.
