Sounds like it'd be cool for the sake of it, but just in case you (or other readers) aren't aware (Edit -- looks like you are very aware ;) SBCL already compiles Lisp code to native code. It's not the same as (asm) macros all

As the siblings mention it doesn't really apply here because the choices aren't one-shot, you aren't stuck with one, you have time to consider, choices can differ a lot, etc. But really any supposed psychological phenomenon s

For another data point, I took it in 7th grade too, that was only--oh god 2003 was nearly 20 years ago. Anyway, it was considered one year early for my public school district in Utah. Me and a few others in my 6th grade class who had good m

I'm picking your response, but it's typical of an archetype that's bothersome in a different way to the GP's archetype of pointing out that volume discounts exist. When you're poor, your food budget isn't a cri

Everything may be in a box, bag, or can (perhaps even frozen!) but that doesn't mean it's not healthy. Nor does availability of produce mean a particular individual is going to buy a (presumably healthy?) sack of apples over that

It was probably thrown in to give a sense of the variety available, but just about every grocery store or even gas station has cheap motor oil available. It's not like you need very much of it very often. It's just a bad article w

Just because a store has 'dollar' in its name doesn't mean it's a dollar store. Dollar General in particular is not the kind of store where all or even most things are a dollar, which was the traditional meaning of &#x27

Still, the GP's point stands. Especially as attackers create a "brand" and establish trust -- if a few quick searches show other people reporting that they paid and things were restored, then you can bet people will feel much

I wasn't originally going to look at it but this claim got me intrigued. I'd say compared to a lot of C code I've seen, yeah, you aren't lying, the average cleanliness is so clean it's sick ;) Well done! Perhaps the

There are a number of ways to achieve consensus, rawtxapp is right in general that many decentralized parties need to agree. For Taproot in particular, it uses BIP 8 (see https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/m

Power-tripping mods aren't anything new. My main beef with Discord servers turning into this decade's forums is a lot of useful info is locked up and not discoverable by search engines.

It's somewhat refreshing that the underlying bug isn't from some C or C++ utility, but instead a Perl program using eval: https://github.com/exiftool/exiftool/blob/11.70/lib/Image/Ex..

There's two main aspects to the claim. The first is Clojure's general stance against "place-oriented programming" that ties in with its immutable-by-default data structures. A good talk is https://github.com&#

Right, as data literals my program is going to use they're great, I fell in love with Python a long time ago in part because of its convenient data syntax. Clojure's values-are-values philosophy is also amazing. How much value are

Neat, I don't remember hearing about the "command" justification before. I suppose this is a rationale behind e.g. the 'ns macro separating its command-keywords that map to functions with parens? Still, I always thought

Using [] for syntax like Clojure does is kind of weird and not too consistent IMO. As for data structures, CL has vectors (and more complex arrays), with #() as a literal syntax or my preference just the function (vector ...). But beyond th

"Cheers" is my favorite too, even though I don't drink alcohol. Some people probably take it the wrong way, but whatever.

Probably because if you aren't paying that much attention to Lisp software, the almost 40 years of writing about Common Lisp will surface more so than the code and their authors. And a lot of code (millions of lines) isn't open an

To be fair, other non-Lisp languages have come a long way. Still, I'll offer a few things that might pique your interest. For a while in the development of Common Lisp, a sort of joke acceptance test for implementations was in three pa

It's kind of a boring and tired point, but for another perspective on "is X a Lisp?" it's worth reviewing the Lisp 1.5 manual from 1962: http://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/LISP/book&#x

There may be a sort of sweet spot in the progression where a programmer can advance to a point where they spend most of their time figuring out the code architecture (maybe with a skeleton) for others to implement the details of, with some
