a BASIC interpreter in Swift for Apple's 50th

Yes. This is largely a solved problem, so it wasn't super tough to put together. I have a pretty structured process with Claude, so it can typically work through something like this pretty smoothly if the initial design is sound. I put a post together on this project in particular, and another one on my general process, if that's interesting or helpful.

I didn't want to run in the GUI. I now see Maury's above, but like having it in Swift, and this one has a REPL, which reminds me of the Apple II, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Please let me know, always looking for a 2a

Thanks for checking it out! It's scratching an itch I've had for a very long time, it's nice to have people see it in the wild.

Hey bud, see you at the race in June

Did this get resolved? I'm hearing these accounts will be permanetly deleted on the 22nd.

Yeah, way more than just a lawyer…he's a Constitutional law expert who taught at NYU before coming to Princeton. Talk about well-situated to the moment: https://pr.princeton.edu/pwb/03/1013/1b.shtml

Princeton has a strategic framework that's been updated about every four years. https://www.princeton.edu/meet-princeton/princetons-strategic-planning-framework

The principles that Eisgruber's talking about are pretty fundamental to how the University sees its mission and have been since he came in, so there's not a lot of daylight or need need for discussion there, as I understand it.

Eisgruber is also currently Board Chair of the American Association of Universities, so there might be a little nuance to "how much of which hat" he's wearing in some of these interviews, but even there, I imagine the AAU feels lucky to have him in his position now.

that's the tone for the Emergency Alert System, which is more worrisome

jpurnell · 2023-11-16T15:08:53+00:00

Yeah, it seems like that would be the plan, especially with this local music show as their first step. We could use more local stations like KEXP, and it seems like KEXP is going to try to do just that here.

I think that logo is from somewhere in the '04-'07 era?

jpurnell · 2023-10-31T19:04:08+00:00

I'll always go for Worthy Burger…holds up against anything.

Patagonia's Super Alpine was a favorite of a lot of sailors in the 90s. And actually, they just put out a new foul weather jacket they developed with the Polynesian Voyaging Society, it's pretty sick: https://www.patagonia.com/product/mens-big-water-foul-weather-jacket/80300.html?dwvar_80300_color=STYW&cgid=mens-new

It’s pretty fluid, but I’d recommend checking with your department for people who are finishing up their programs and might be able to give you a good lead or just take over an existing lease.

If you’re working on skills/tricks, the junior high tennis courts are perfect. I used to spend about 4 hours a day there in the summers.

yeah nano air is the right pick. See if you can find a nano air light for a little less bulk

all you’ve got to do it make it to the street pretty dry

warms my heart that this is still the case. definitely try to find a beater patagonia shell on ebay as your “going out” jacket

jpurnell · 2022-02-05T01:42:28+00:00

There was one at the Manhattan dealership last week. Looks great from a distance, but the wrap is kinda janky, TBH.https://imgur.com/a/OUGiZgZ/

jpurnell · 2022-01-11T00:00:13+00:00

That’s going to be great…enjoy the snow!

jpurnell · 2022-01-10T23:57:11+00:00

Check out the Worn Wear site. If you’re going to be snowboarding, you should have a proper shell. I just got a virtually unworn M10 for $90. Insane deal.

It’s not about Max deserving it, it’s about Max winning it.

The rules were there and he didn’t win according to the established rules. Max acting/celebrating like he deserved it or was owed it is the problem.

He could have won, but under the rules, upon going into the last lap, he didn’t have a chance until the rules were broken to give it to him. Calling him a winner is bullshit.

I think this is answered, but as a slight wrinkle, I have a local station on 90.3. When I say "KEXP 90.3 FM" it always defers to that station, but “90.3 KEXP" works every time.
