Very interesting bit about the Yokoi story, and totally wasted on the conclusion …
I stopped at “AI is a withered technology in Yokoi sense”. Well it is exactly the opposite: of sound engineering decision, of the characteristics of mature technology, of engineering on itself. So the article fall off completely.
I first built a dice roller : the core is just a call to random.randint module, but you need to have the terminal interface to get the instruction ( like “4d6” means you need to have 4 times random generation between 1 and 6). You can do it only with regexp, and if you want to get fancy you can try and find solutions to have compounded formulas, try to have the results stored during a game session, etc.
Second project was a small game: the idea was to have a map of coordinates (xy), and each game has random spawning of 2 goblins and 3 gold within the map ; the goal is to move around (nswe) getting the 3 gold without hitting a goblin.
So also no graphic representation of the map, you just have the game running at each keystroke.
You just need to be able to define functions and do string manipulation ; for logic you can stay with if-then-else and while loop.
And good luck with the learning !

Ah ha ! Well it was a stupid joke then 😅 my first grievance is still about not packaging GNU software though (exim, mailutils, just on top of my head but etc.)
I had a very good ride with Void for 3 years, a polished distro which taught me to play with init.
But a lot of GNU packages are not packaged, and lastly I saw a news regarding the distro being split between pro and free version so …
I used Antix after that, but AntiX can really get behind on package and kernel version, so I stumbled back on Devuan, and voilà ! With backport, Devuan is really like Debian without the hassle of never knowing if your system us really shut down when you close your laptop (systemd ! 🫵)
It is just that simple.
Because they are racist. They only identify you based on your difference, not on shared values.
The answer is Python
GNU Guile is a dialect of Lisp used by quite a few software.
https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/
It is the configuration language of the Guix OS, a modern distro (very focused on computer freedom) , also by libraries and software like Gnucash, the GNU Debugger, a GUI toolkit for Gnome also, etc.
It is not a replacement of C, but can be used like Python.
I plan to export all the company documentation to markdown for git/bazaar based version control ! It is just so exciting 🥳😁
Streaming service is good for me because I access a much wider spectrum of music that I could possibly buy one by one.
It may be unfair or badly managed fpr artists remuneration, but usually they are paid on gigs not on royalties.
Pip work outside venv, you need to add the -break-system-dependencies command option to pip though. However for this kind of utilities I did not encountered issues even when doing it like a savage (pdf2image was the latest one I installed like this. On Devuan (Debian 13/Trixie eqv). Note though: you really first need to check available libraries through apt/system installer first, because these have been packaged for a reason. Only use pip install -break-system-dependencies when all options have been spent.
Sorry I tried but did not find a way to filter out articles talking about AI (I tried -AI , loke you would do with a search engine, but to no avail). Is there a way to have conditional filtering ?
In France, the ministry of Economics just announced that 13000 millionaires did not pay income tax in 2025 … and our social security (health insurance, jobless minimun income, etc) was founded on the principle of taxing the wealthy. So they (liberals) now say that social security is not working as intended and the state should delegate these things to “for profit” organizations … for “efficiency”
Nothing is easy when learning programming from scratch and by yourself ; just choose whatever you feel is cool (at beginner level, it does not make a big difference).
