I take your opinion pretty seriously with the weight of your CL work. If you have time, I would love to hear your rationale.

I too was looking at Roswell only to discover the core is in C. There is a very amusing issue where one contributor/user asks why not in Go, but then one of the core devs is like "Is there not another language we might be interes

If the author shows up, as one of a few here who wants to know, why YAML? In other languages YAML parsers are a dime-a-dozen affair, while the same is true of SEXP/EDNish type stuff so proudly mocked in Lispland by insiders and outsid

That is a very fun story. It is not really Qi anymore, it is Shen. And boy oh boy does that have an interesting backstory unto itself. If you wanna try the proprietary cum BSD-licensed core of it, a K-lambda language that is like a Lisp o

This looks pretty cool. It sounds like it can wrap Quicklisp, which is real good considering how much work and apprecation there is for @xach re the Quicklisp work. He also expects to have a big donor announcement status announcement in a

Well, yes, I am aware of it. I had trouble getting scsh to work well. Outside of Guile, I am not even sure what Scheme implementations are viable. I have played with Chicken and Gambit very minimally. IIRC, schs uses the MIT48 or a class

I looked into the options and the best I feel available is separate /boot on a USB key AND wrapping that key inside a tiny LUKS volume, so you need the key inside of it and a password, which is poor man's two-factor for booting fu

I am aware of how to do this on Linux. I do exactly as you subscribe. But running the /boot on external USB seems to cause more issues than when I merely have /boot partition and a partition with LVM inside LUKS volume on the same

In Egypt, this is also thing. When you have kids and anything bad happens to them, people will say they were envied (Had Hasadoo), which is referring to this evil eye stuff. As an outsider looking in, it drives me nuts.

So they are still working on 4.4.3. I assume this is a daunting task, but are they always playing catch up? I do not say that dismissively. It is mind-blowing to me that they can port this to x86 (whether or not the toolchain supports it
