   I don’t think you know Common Lisp very well, or are talking about some super limited Lisp dialect I’ve never heard of.

   I hope the growing EV market doesn’t develop throw away tendencies. Imagine a car, but quickly obsolete like an Android phone

   Bit verbose for me with all that promise/await stuff. Substitution rules probably simpler tho

   I agree. I’m afraid I’m one of those 00s developers and can relate. Back then many startups were being launched on super simple stacks. With all of that complexity/word salad from TFA, where’s the value delivered? Presumably there’s a

   I feel like this is overkill for a startup. Why not dump your application server and dependencies into rented data center (or EC2 if you must) and setup a coarse DR? Maybe start with a monolith in PHP or Rails. None of that word salad sound

   Lot of focus on mpg here. I couldn’t even tell you what the mpg on any of my 3 bikes is. It’s so unimportant to most riders. Most interesting to me is the Ninja 7 smoking a zx10r, for a few hundred feet off the line, granted. Picture of exc

   I don’t think these systems will work against cheap, tiny drones or swarms of drones. eg. Russian ships vs Ukrainian boat drones.

    If Perl6 hadn’t killed Perl, would we still see it in use today?

    Hope they're not gonna kill my Mid 2015 MBP anytime soon. With Open Core Patcher, it's still running the latest macOS.

    I know of one company that dumped its clojure code base because lambda costs were too high. They even experimented with graal as a fix.

    IIRC, bikes are limited to 187 mph via inter manufacturer agreement. See? Private sector self-regulation works great for this. No need to legislate.

    I bought an expensive PC just to play my stupid my 3D Steam games. Windows 11 is barely even fit for that now. Even installing it wants my email. Why?? Can’t get a vertical task bar like I used to (have they even seen monitor screen dimensi

    Is there a name for efforts that are terrible and often defeated, but are basically inevitable due to just wearing down its opponents over time?

    I think the UK kinda just needs to build its own “internet” like China does. Apps for UK people to get spied and surveilled upon and generally “kept in line”. Also maybe a courtesy firewall so they don’t feel completely left out.

    I love building software from within the system that runs it. I really hate the edit compile run/ maybe debug cycles of popular, “modern” software development.

    Like just about any technology in our industry, people use it because it’s popular. Competitive advantage be damned - just use what your competitors use.

    As I recall the Go GC is a primitive 70s design as well. No idea if it still is.

    I remember writing my own smooth scrolling file viewer on DOS. You could use the character registers for the display controller (think it was VGA, 80x25 mode). Not novel, but fun way to get more resolution than you have but for narrow use c

    I permanently damaged my family’s tv with a car loud speaker I was playing with as kid. It left a big blemish, colored shadow shape and since we were kinda poor (didn’t know at the time), we lived with it for ages… oh the guilt! Was fun to

    Sound’s nifty. Did this take advantage of those Intel (maybe others?) STM opcodes? For a while I was stoked on CL-STMX which did (as well as implementing non-native version to the same interface)
