There’s only one truly universal ecosystem: the C ecosystem.
Here is my quick and dirty interpretation.
The actual ecosystem of computer programs is the machine language of the architecture they are running on.
Programming in machine language is done in assembly language.
C is (still) the dominant machine-independent assembly language.
NB: this universality excludes the bytecode languages of the JVM etc.
To what extent is AI killing jobs? @brianmerchant put out a call to try and find some answers, and now he's sharing the first of them in his Blood in the Machine newsletter. "Generative AI is the most hyped, most well-capitalized technology of our generation, and its key promise, that it will automate jobs, desperately needs to be examined. This is the start of that examination," he writes. His series will be broken down by field and background, and starts with the tech industry, including stories from a TikTok content moderator, former staff engineer at Dropbox, fintech worker and more.

> computer science and software engineering knowledge that got closely tied up with lisp’s cultural history
Kudos to you for this worthy endeavor.
I am lucky I got to read and absorb Abelson and Sussman as well as Liskov and Guttag (being an ocean and most of a continent away).
By the way, one could do worse than read comp.lang.lisp archives (if one has a lot of time).
Ars Technica: OpenAI introduces Codex, its first full-fledged AI agent for coding. “We’ve been expecting it for a while, and now it’s here: OpenAI has introduced an agentic coding tool called Codex in research preview. The tool is meant to allow experienced developers to delegate rote and relatively simple programming tasks to an AI agent that will generate production-ready code and show its […]
I can setup the project to build using Akku-R7RS:
akku add akku-r7rs;
akku install;
./.akku/env;But then how should I build each of the .sld files to binary using the Chez compiler?
@mdhughes do you happen to know?

Jean Sammet: An Accidental Computer Programmer

I was trying to write a toot about magic and computer programming, but I had a lot of thoughts on this topic. So, I wrote a blog post.
My Hugo-based blog that I last touched in 2020 doesn't seem to build with the latest Hugo. It is still rough since I am shifting to a new theme (e.g. it is stuck in dark theme). Anyway, here's the blog post.

Margaret Hamilton Recalls Her Life as a Programming Pioneer.
The pioneering software engineer who helped send men to the moon recalls her decades of innovation in a newly published video conversation. by David Cassel via @thenewstack

Ada Lovelace's notes were labelled alphabetically from A to G. In Note G, she describes an algorithm for the Analytical Engine to compute Bernoulli numbers. It is considered to be the first published algorithm ever specifically tailored for implementation on a computer, and Ada Lovelace has often been cited as the first computer programmer for this reason. The engine was never completed and so her program was never tested. via @wikipedia
