  • That actually sounds pretty cool

    Sometimes what I’d like to be able to do is treat part of an app as a core and the rest like user provided scripts, but written and evaluated in the host language and not running an embedded scripting language like lua with all the extra burden.

    E.g. you have an image editor and you want the user to be able to write native functions to process the image. Or you have a game engine and you want to inject new game code from the user without the engine being a compiler or the game logic being bundled scripts.



  • I find this of cats too.

    I know a lot of people think they’re aloof and dumb, but my cats know their names, each others names, and several words. You can tell because they hear it and try to ignore it, but their tail wags giving away that they do know what you’re saying.

    They can also pick up really specific sounds, like if I pick up two small plates they run over hopping in giving them wet food. Not one plate, not three, not large or medium, only two small ones.

    Recently there was an article stating they do know their names after all, but to most owners it seemed obvious.
