You and the GGP author joined in 2018, so maybe you haven't noticed yet, but the black bar has always very much been an "at the whims of the site operator" thing. If you try to apply any other metric (like "tech giant&qu

I just use IBus, since I was already using it for Japanese IME input. It has its own emoji picker but has been kinda buggy before, instead I just use the "Typing Booster" keyboard option. I can type "wolf" and it'll

I like this author's work on fast game structures for Lisp, shows what you can do if you're willing to do a bit of work on explicit types and so on. It's not obvious from the readme but the trivial-benchmark code includes det

Since no one mentioned, a major reason to prefer elliptic curves is that you can get equivalent security for much smaller key sizes.

They didn't specify what kind of update, but in this case no, I'm on zfs-2.2.3, which was released in February. I'd have to go check out when it was marked stable by Gentoo and I actually updated. (I do occasionally have to r

Not calling it LISP would help. And though you get used to it and even kind of appreciate it sometimes, the default behavior of most Common Lisp implementations to SHOUT its symbols at you is rather unfortunate. Go back to 2005 and look at

I'd say you were unlucky, because it's a rather terrible essay and doesn't actually get the diagnosis correct at all; indeed if some of its claims were true, you'd think they would apply just as well to other more popula

That's a fun name. I used to draw sort of noodly-ish mazes as a kid, too, though they didn't always have a unique path as there could be branch loops. Did they look at all like this 7 minute mouse drawing version? https:/&#x

Yeah, I'm glad some people are able to live the dream. Not for me though, the issues being terribly obsolete hardware leading to poor performance and also terrible feature parity on phone-side table stakes. I should boot and fully upda

Yes, though my current phone is a red magic 8 pro, so no DeX (or other things, good and bad). I wasn't really impressed like another comment, but admittedly I didn't spend too much time trying it since it wasn't my phone that

I wanted to like it but it's mostly been a paperweight in the closet for two years now... My problem is ultimately that none of the smartphones I've used or tried (a few androids and a librem) offer a desktop/laptop experienc

Has GDP gone up or down over time? It's gone way up, so even if the percentage was constant, the amount of money collected has increased significantly. This is what I mean by a clear trend towards "not-less". Despite this inc

Meanwhile the infrastructure is not exactly doing great in many places, and it seems doubtful that it would be doing particularly better with more taxes collected. Anyway, there's been a pretty clear trend towards not-less, even in jus

It's a shame that every time someone (e.g. upthread) mentions how even just MRIs are very expensive, often as an excuse for not using such tools, I think of all the times I've heard that other places like India make them quite che

I consume the news via "eselect news". Interestingly, the list of items is kept around separately from the state of the metadata/news/ folder but the contents are not. How annoying. I keep a gentoo box from 2009 around f

I've just accepted that these broad terms are really products of their time, and use of them just means people want to communicate at a higher level above the details. (Whether that's because they don't know the details, or b

Gentoo doesn't do this crap every 3 weeks, come on. I agree in the sense that I didn't want to have this choice thrust upon me, much like many other choices, but Gentoo has always been good about supporting different choices. My s

I think it would. No, probably not the highest priority for the society doing it, but something that would continue along regardless. A quick google tells me that over 11,000 dinosaur fossils have been found so far, people still seem intere

We're not talking about remains and belongings, we're talking about people. Bringing back a king, who was likely literate and learned, would be more valuable to me than a random peasant or slave, though I'd still want to brin

If you only learned Common Lisp from skimming PG's On Lisp, it's forgivable that you never really learned it. PG doesn't like OOP, but like, approximately all the big Lisp systems I've seen make use of it, and it helps w

Yup, but when you have to integrate with things you can't control, the advantages are fewer, especially compared to something purpose-built for that thing and the trade-offs can easily turn away from Lisp. e.g. you're going to hav

The Romans tried to build tall buildings, but they kept falling down, and a decree eventually stopped further attempts. They lacked the engineering knowledge and mathematics necessary, not the desire. Similar story with ship sizes. I think

Getting fewer errors does not mean better results -- sorry, I don't really want to continue this conversation of answering vastly general assertions backed by nothing with counter-assertions backed by nothing. My bad, since I started t

No, it is not the case that anything that is less prone to error is good.
