A Review of Paul Graham's Bel, Chris Granger's Eve, and a Silly VR Rant

Hello Friends,

This elf begging to climb onto the web for Christmas began as a personal email, a review of Paul Graham's little Lisp Bel. He sprouted arms, legs, and in gingerstyle ran away. Arms for symbols, legs for conses: these primitives are the mark a Lisp — even more so than the parenthesis. What do we get when we remove these foundation stones: naming and pairing?

No pairs. No cons. No structure. Unordered. Chaos. Eve, a beautifully incomplete aspect oriented triple store. No need for legs when you can effortlessly transport to your destination. Lazy. Pure. Here and now, a retrospective.

No symbols. No names. No variables. Combinators. Forth. No need for arms when you can effortlessly push and pop your stack. No words. A world without words. Virtual worlds. Virtual reality. Space. Time. Motion. Action. Kinetic Programming, a proposal.

I apologize in advance. Checking my pocketwatch, I see I haven't t

Linux kernel initialization, translated to bash
#!/boot/bzImage
# Linux kernel userspace initialization code, translated to bash
# (Minus floppy disk handling, because seriously, it's 2017.)
# Not 100% accurate, but gives you a good idea of how kernel init works

# Based on Linux 4.10-rc2.
# Note: pretend chroot is a builtin and affects the current process
# Note: kernel actually uses major/minor device numbers instead of device name

SVG Icons with mithril.js

Icons have been part of applications since ages. Also most websites rely on icons. There were several ways to use them. First we used plain files then image sprites to reduce requests. Nowadays everyone uses icon fonts like font-awesome or glyphicons.

They are infinetly scaleable and styleable with css. The downside is they use pseudo elements for displaying. This is not only difficult to handle but also non-optimal for accessibilty.

A famous CSS-Tricks post brings SVG icons into play. The are also scalable and they behave like normal images. But we also want to have a sprite to not load any images seperatly and kill our servers and our sites performance. The proposed version is to create sprites with grunt or gulp using the symbol-trick. It's basically add every icon to a hidden sprite-image and give every icon an id-property.
