Not presuming that might focus your current priorities in life if you think the tech is reasonably likely to come about before it's too late for you and be expensive for a long time, like you may want to focus more on getting a higher

If it's all good, sounds like that's a reason to learn it. ;) But I have to push back some -- I mean you can work alone and build your own castles from scratch if that's your thing (I totally understand that appeal), as in an

The best way to get rid of that feeling is to work with them. Why not learn Common Lisp?

1 is fine, but do take into account the future sometimes, and be ready for change. As a human you have the ability to do both. Suppose medical technology advances so that within 50 years, you no longer have to worry about dying from old age

In the ideal case, an AGI makes solve-able problems that are either impossible, or will take a very long time, for us to solve. There are a lot of problems left to solve, or at least that a lot of people would like to solve, and who knows w

You're maybe right with a generic idea of Lisp that includes all of Clojure and most Schemes and random GitHub "lisps", but I think Common Lisp (and its immediate predecessors) really does give you that and . "Going fas

Sure, the heritage of Lisp Machines shows that well enough. Or a modern version: https://github.com/froggey/Mezzano Not all GCs are equivalent, though.

I'm curious too, but even if something is fairly easy to replace or repair a significant amount of people may still just buy new and not bother. (My own landlord is making this choice over a $100 logic board replacement for the garage

Emacs is popular. I like vim, but people are also using VS Code. https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/editor-support.ht... and other pages on the wiki may help you. https://github.com/CodyReichert

Just laughing to myself at this. A friend and I started copying long movies from the NAS to the media PC's local storage, since if I use my preferred smplayer (mpv) sometimes some hiccup will cause it to crash, but his preferred vlc wi

It's not just Amazon, but it's characteristically Amazon. What's fun is when other companies try to ape some of the practices without the actual ownership structures -- e.g. someone from your team is expected to be "on c

Indeed, the National Association to Aid Fat Americans (NAAFA), now the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance, was founded in 1969. In 1973, an activist group "Fat Underground" had a manifesto that included "We see ou

Clicking through the submission shows: "Approximately 1 in 3 of ADRD cases (36.9%) in the US were associated with 8 modifiable risk factors, the most prominent of which were midlife obesity (17.7%; 95% CI, 17.5-18.0), physical inactivi

A full answer to your first why is a mystery. But a related question is a lot more tractable because you can ask fat individuals: how can you stand being fat? For a lot of fat people (and I invite you to look at a BMI height/weight cha

Maybe instead the government should "simply" stop doing everything it can to increase the cost of healthcare. When something is cheap enough (as our tech industry has many times observed), it's not a big deal to leave big fac

In GC languages a common approach is to have "finalizers" to make something like this a possible and sometimes convenient way of dealing with a foreign API, I wonder if what you saw was something similar? The idea is to allocate t

Many philosophies, even organized religions, can serve as a guide. If one is looking for a guide, that step of looking already reveals a desire to not just default to either a random walk or wherever you're taken by others; it's t

As others hint, you don't need static typing to get optimized native code. For SBCL, you get native code already: * (defun adder (x y) (+ x y)) * (disassemble 'adder) ; disassembly for ADDER ; Size: 37 bytes. Ori
