This is not as hard as it sounds as long as Forth and Lisp variants qualify.

You can write a basic Forth or Lisp interpreter in a day.

>Epstein, who killed himself

Okay, I cannot take this article seriously.

I help run the Interactive Fiction Database at https://ifdb.org.

You really can't go wrong browsing our list of the best games of all time. https://ifdb.org/search?browse

All of the top-rated games have walkthroughs or other hints for when you get stuck. My top advice for new players: use the hints.

You can, because those games are the best according to the preferences of interactive fiction connaisseurs, and the preferences of connaisseurs never match those of the masses.

E.g. beer connaisseurs love IPAs, while most people find them way too bitter.

Zionism was founded as a secular ethno-nationalist movement and to this day your entitlement to Israeli citizenship depends on your ethnicity, not your religion.

An atheist Jew is just as entitled to live in Israel as an ultra-orthodox one.

One should point out that Palestinian terrorism was originally largely secular too, with the secular Marxist group PFLP ranking up the highest body count.

The point being, this conflict does not need religion. Even if everyone involved became secular tomorrow, Palestinian nationalists and Zionists would still kill each other without needing any god to justify it.

Something more people should know about the Rwandan genocide is that the Tutsi were not innocent victims but had previously committed genocide themselves - against the Hutu [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikiza].

The hate of the Hutu was not artificially created by some "extremists" with a radio station, but was and is instead the result of the long and bloody history between these two peoples where neither side can claim to be the innocent victim.

The author wrote this article on a device produced in a factory powered by coal.

In case you haven't noticed: Pretty much all the electronic devices you use are made in China and China's industry runs on coal.

Coal is nasty, the article is right about that, but it is the past, present, and the foreseeable future of industrial society.

Called it, again.

Data sovereignty is the true trend of the next decade. Not Quantum, not AI, but the new multi-pole world order divesting from Americentric technologies and back into the sort of locally-grown economies that children of the Cold War would be familiar with. Local vendors serving local needs with a focus on regional, not global, scale and service.

Us Cassandra types have been screaming for years that the US-centric technology catalog (from hardware to software to services to clouds) cannot be trusted long term, as just a single bad administration will expose how easily the US Government could disrupt “business as usual” or turn into a hostile state actor a la China or Russia. Welp, now we’re here.

Man, I hate being right.

You typed this on hardware made by a hostile state actor: China.

As long as the hardware side of digital civilization is completely dependent on the Chinese communist regime, I certainly don't worry about American tech companies dominating the software side.

There are alternatives on the software side if you want them, meanwhile try to build a computer system without hardware made in China..
