I'd like to do some "graphics" programming, but a specific type. I want to display white dots on a black backround. Calculate a new set of dots, and spit them to the screen. Don't mind if I have to turn off old dots myself. SBCL would be optimal, Python OK, C/C++ no thanks city. Do any GUI toolkits support such a widget??? Any recommendations/experience doing this sort of thing??? #graphics #programming #lisp #python #gui

Also with Art Blakey and Sonny Stitt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3f6L0KM4hQ&amp;list=PL-5ntqb8ArlfW8UbP_mXPdJauzGUUHRe- #jazz #bebop #bass

Today&#39;s vid, &quot;This is Japan&#39;s UNIQUE Monorail Built By a Hospital!&quot; is hilarious. Especially the reason the monorail got built in the first place. https://ww...
