The EVE-Online marketplace should satisfy the "kinda Wall-Street software" requirement. (No I'm not making the spreadsheets in space joke.)

They will become less wary over time. The same thing happened in Western Europe: policies which governments didn't even dare proposing a few decades ago (because of experiences in WW2) are now being pushed through without much resista

It's rarely an issue for me and more often a convenience. Perhaps because of the surrounding language?

The first thing I turn off in most games is Bloom. I actually do have glasses and the bloom effect in most games just looks like my glasses are greasy, no thanks. Also, AA is another thing I generally turn off. It gives quite a performanc

I more often get away[1] with a warning than getting fined by governments officials. Then again, this is in The Netherlands and I'm a average white guy. Just being understanding and being sorry generally works for me :-) [1] This happ

I switched to Void Linux which feels BSD'ish while keeping Linux conveniences like Steam, inotify (for things like Dropbox), etc. It comes well recommended. I've been running this as my main dev machine at work for six months now

Today you'd create something in Unreal Engine or Unity and upload that to a server. Or export it as a mobile phone app.

I wanted to point that out as well. Especially since the OP is familiar with Ruby it's really not a thing to get wound up about. Compared to Python and Ruby, Perl might be getting a little long in the tooth but there's probably s

I used Brave for a couple of months and it is really nice but at that time it was still based on Chromium and I didn't want to make that rendering engine any more popular than it already is. (Since you're indirectly supporting Chr

The only reason I can think of is entirely human: because others are using it.

I've been working on something similar for my own perusal. My dependencies are sbcl, gnuplot and an image viewer that can do a slideshow: https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=XZSKsy7ZMOpNjrfY8wbQ... You'll

I don't know about the format but the Xbps package manager is crazy fast, which is nice.

Now that you mention it, perhaps it was installed because I grabbed a Void Linux image with MATE? I'd have to do a reinstall to check, but I've got work to do ;-) I'll update my original post if I can though. Still, good to

I've been running it at work as my main dev OS for a couple of months now (before I ran Debian) and I've run into far less issues than I expected. It's really well done. Before Void Linux I contemplated jumping ship to FreeB

You are correct, but why is this a problem in the case mentioned by the author? $ cat > hello-world.lisp (defun main () (format t "Hello, World!~%")) $ sbcl * (load "hello-world.lisp") T * (

I don't work in CL for a living but it is my main go-to language (also at work). It is worth it to put some time into even though there's not a big market asking for CL directly.

For Common Lisp people always recommend Edi Weitz's software like CL-PPCRE: http://weitz.de/cl-ppcre/ https://github.com/edicl/cl-ppcre

Obligatory post asking for links to your projects. (But I truly am curious.)

I had ETH on Kraken and after the fork I had ETH and ETC. However there's no saying what exchanges will do in this case. If you have your own BTC you will have BTC and BCC after the fork which you can sell.

Came here to mention PAIP as well. A lot of Peter Norvig's stuff is good. He makes it all look so beautiful and simple.

Those animated squiggly lines under the headlines are some of the most annoying things I've recently seen.

Yes, last week Ken Perlin's post and now this one (even though it is from 2002) really came at the right time for me. I had been struggling a bit at work with precisely these issues and now I don't feel too bad about myself anymo

I would never use Remacs but I would use CLemacs. Others wouldn't use the previous two but would use Pymacs, Rbemacs or Hemacs. Then there's people who wouldn't use any of those but swear by Elmacs.

It's a chicken and egg problem. I want to play some AAA games as they are released and not have issues with Wine, which is why I'm still on partly Windows at home. It's mainly Blizzard and Bethesda for me but EA still neg

Partly, I think they're also fundamentally slower than NN because you're manipulating and executing programs (ASTs[1]) while for NNs you just adjust some values. I've dabbled in GP and I really like it but those ASTs can get

While I don't like the move to a subscription model for a lot of software, I really couldn't finish this piece. I don't think it was very well written, mostly because it kept repeating the same points over and over written a
