Probably not just because outside of single-user contexts (like a calculator) being able to construct and evaluate completely novel code is generally not smart security-wise lol

I wonder if there's any programming language where code itself (token streams or syntax trees) is a first-class object like on RPL calculators, rather than the β€œcode as data” stuff being limited to very specific contexts (like macro expansion/comptime stuff)

Every time I see a clip from the original _How to Train Your Dragon_ (2010) movie I realize how much I dislike Jay Baruchel's voice acting. Is the movie actually good or do I only remember it because it has dragons in it?

I thought it would be just impossible to use with the completely different sets of keys on the HP-48 series vs the HP-42 series, but they did a good job of mapping the keys to the most similar DM42 keys so other than one or two, the keys you're used to pressing do pretty much what you expect

This project has progressed _a lot_ since I last looked, seems very worthwhile to check out now: https://github.com/c3d/db48x

I love the 3DS' 3D still. While 3D is a gimmick everywhere it's showed up, it turns out that people actually like it if there's actually anything worthwhile available for it (see: 3D TVs)

Having a stable update flow for existing systems is just too hard, not like <every single other OS> manages it just fine or anything

Seriously, other than the like four notable exclusives, if you have a computer from the last five years or a Steam Deck is there literally any compelling reason for a Switch? Like, I used to use it a lot but that's because the (good) game library is just all just ports of PC games that my […]

The _No More Heroes_ rereleases are the only reason I even entertain the idea of pulling my Switch back out and even that's not enough to get me to actually pull it back out; I don't know what that says about Nintendo or the Switch as a console lol

I like the original use of the sticky bit (to always keep a file cached in memory even if it's not in use so it can be accessed quickly, for things like commonly-used executables) even though on modern computer architectures it makes little sense and as such doesn't do anything

Rust already has all the compile-time evaluation framework implemented for other stuff (macros and constexprs), it would not be a huge lift to just add a trivial routine hooking into the compiler to evaluate the truthiness of an expression on-demand lol

I love C11 static assertions, still perpetually irritating that Rust doesn't have them without janky hacks (or libraries implementing said janky hacks)

I don't understand people on smartphones taking a screenshot of a picture in their gallery and then sharing that. Clearly you know how to upload a picture from your gallery because you had to upload the screenshot, in which case why didn't you just upload the picture directly???

@void-mem-access.bsky.social Thanks! I have a 3DS but no plain DS flash cart so I might want someone to test on original hardware in the distant future

The DS has too much VRAM, without using 3D I don't know what to do with all this!

(I am being somewhat serious, with the GBA-style 2D graphics architecture but with nearly seven times the RAM available, it is an insane amount to utilize even with the new massive-size backgrounds and palettes)

With the DS' extra display, improved graphics hardware, and extra buttons I think this makes my game so much more feasible and I'm actually now very hopeful for completing it (Eventuallyβ„’, I'm still familiarizing myself with the system, I've not even started porting what I already have over yet lol)
