• Amber – the programming language compiled to Bash

  I haven't seen a mention of the Oil Shell (https://oilshell.org) project's OSH/YSH yet and I'm quite surprised. Oils goal is that OSH is just a new Bash implementation (although not bug-for-bug) but with an upgrade-path to the more modern YSH for real programming with type safety etc, but still as a shell language.

• Unix as IDE: Introduction (2012)

So I changed into the MyPy syntax after 5 years, and concluded I should have done that quite awhile ago. --- The funny thing is that while the web page says "Abstract Grammar", I would not call Zephyr ASDL a grammar. Python has a separate... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Have a question about Swagbucks? Take some help, Leave some help

  Anyone else having problems doing a simple password reset on swagbucks.com ? Should be dirt simple right? At the swagbucks.com login portal, put in your email address or swagbucks ID, then hit forgot your password. I do get password reset emails after a few hours, but the password reset link in them just takes me to the main swagbucks login page, not a password reset page, not a security or account confirmation...

  I've had trouble with the "Discover Daily Interests" (2SB) loading correctly for the last month. I submitted a ticket and haven't heard anything.
