Prediction: someone will make a reverse polish notation skill for interacting with claude claiming all sorts of things, like caveman, turn into another markdown as a service company, and make the news.

I first thought this was some spin on May the fourth be with you. As in how Yoda might say it.

Slightly OT, but nothing can beat DonHopkins’s “About” section here on HN [0]. 0: https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=DonHopkins

I never noticed the disclaimer at the bottom until today xkcd.com is best viewed with Netscape Navigator 4.0 or below on a Pentium 3±1 emulated in Javascript on an Apple IIGS at a screen resolution of 1024x1.

FYI: Forth can be very readable! IT DOES NOT NEED TO BR ALL IN ONE LINE Most commercial forth source code is totally readable and maintainable: comments, newlines, macros, high level commands etc It's a total myth that its 'write only'. The same nonsense is spreaded by some nerds who actaully never wrote a single program in it. ps. same goes to COBOL. 99% of fud by guys who never even wrote a simple program in it.
