For those who already have listened to AT and the rest of the contemporaries forward and back (you already have the 200 ‘unreleased’ tracks, right?), a perhaps new thing to try is the 33 rpm trick: RDJ once said that if you want a 45 minute

This is also pretty much exact same advice as one should use for learning touch typing. I was stuck on some lesson because I was trying to go too quickly and kept mistyping. It's said in many places that you should go slow enough to no

Well, doing this on top of a single language is more feasible, however the Python-Lisp pair is still not the best choice due to Python's strict semantics of separation between statements and expressions: when you generate an AST from

by aasasd 5y ago
Lisp and Python have different semantics, even between Python and Hy: an obvious one is that Lisp's `if` and all other statements are expressions. Coming up with a syntax is not the hard part. A couple gotchas that basically all Lisps-

by aasasd 5y ago
You can translate an analogous syntax of your choosing into the same lists =) E.g. something Python-ish or Yaml-ish, or Rebol.

by aasasd 5y ago
Note that this is not Lisp interpreted in Python, but transpiled into Python AST on the fly. Which is how Lisps should be implemented on top of modern environments. (IIRC the ‘gisp’ project takes that approach even further: it transpiles a

Meanwhile Windows is all too happy about overwriting any bootloader you may have with its own, if you happen to run its installation or, I think, even some disk-checking programs (don't remember if only `format` did it, or something `c

I think it should work with anything that functions as a disk device in the system. The program itself likely doesn't do much guessing about sector sizes and such, and just uses smaller and smaller read blocks where larger ones can&#

Once you can read something from the disk (especially pertinent for HDDs), I recommend using `ddrescue`, at least on unixes including MacOS. It will dump as much of the disk as it can, and only then will repeatedly go over the unreadable se

Ellis' ‘Glamorama’ actually has a film crew following the protagonist. However that book is difficult to comprehend (sorta in the 70s/80s transgression-surrealism way), so I'm still not sure what the crew actually does, if

You forget to mention that the coverage was in 2002. Which makes me vaguely curious about the content. Edit: alas it's just a reiteration of the text, pretty much what I would expect from a modern Youtube clip on a channel with a name

Well, every database already optimizes disk access (at least until the recent years with the ‘just add SSDs’ attitude). However, they tend to assume that indexes should be loaded into memory. For this use-case, you'd want a database t

Trademarks are actually still useful for open-source software, since they ensure that a malicious or incompetent party can't ruin the name of your software by shipping a modification that does bad things. Jason Rohrer ran into this

Franky the new icons are just not too good either. It's possible to have monochrome icons that are memorable and easily recognized—but GIMP's icons aren't that.
