What is this strange anatomical unit you measure with?

I don't think Linux ever replaced Windows on the server-side. Rather, Windows never made serious inroads into the server-side. Or perhaps I missed the point of your last sentence.

Welcome to the Emacs family, Vim. We have been waiting for you.

That is true and andybak is correct. I have been thinking more and more about this and the mind certainly wanders to dark places. On the other hand, it is a problem that keeps getting bigger. It feels a bit like the elephant in the room.

There's enough humans walking around and 200,000 new ones are being added to the pool every day. It's not really a choice.

Let me be a contrary voice since I almost exclusively use LOOP (or ITER) for iteration, mainly because I really don't care what kind of iteration ought to be used[1]. I just want to iterate over elements in a data structure. If later i

Some, most?, of the things you mention are available in other languages but they generally do not come together so well and they feel clunky. I think it's not so much whether the features exist in other languages since we all know they

Would Common Lisp be Zerg or Protoss technology?

Just any text editor and reloading the file one's editing works fine as well: shell$ sbcl [... some editing ...] sbcl> (load "file.lisp") As for which Lisp. I advise Common Lisp since it's the most pr

It's simple but works perfectly; I don't understand why music players nowadays are such clunky monstrosities when the music should do all the talking. Same here, I never understood why people were initially so enthousiastic abou

Nasty assumption here, but have you only tried GUI programs? I use foobar2000 on Windows and MOC[1] on Linux and I really do not miss either of them when I'm on the other platform. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2F

I've got a yearly angry tweet that it's totally ridiculous that in $YEAR we do not have an easy, maybe just read-only, way to access our transaction data from banks. (This is for the Netherlands.) At this point I'd take the e

Everyone is generally playing catch up with China in these matters so I expect this will show up all over the world in five to ten years as well. And with "show up" I mean as blatantly as in China. I'm actually fully expectin

When my kids have lice I shave my own head, but I haven't been able to convince my daughter to do the same. She's got pretty long and thick hair so washing and combing it is a b#tch!

Yes, there's modules to fake SafetyNet but Google's really invested in it and it is kind of a losing battle on the side of the Xposed module writers[1][2]. (tl;dr It's quite a hassle to get a workaround on your phone and it&

Android's becoming more of a walled garden as well. More and more stuff depends on the opaque blob that is Google Play Services and an increasing number of apps (even games ffs!) only want to run when SafetyNet says the device is save.

my main gripe is the total lack of realistic alternative in the smartphone market right now. That's my main gripe as well. I'm currently using a Nexus 5 with Sailfish OS as my daily driver, but it's hard. I really do not ha

If I hear data structure lisp code is not on my mind, so it's rather an API or a drawing library? Most Lisps, especially Common Lisp which inconvergent is using, have plenty of data structures: http://www.lispworks.com&#x2

There's also Linux life without Gnome. I hope this means more people will try out alternative window managers.

Oh, you young ones. Back in the day on the Atari ST it was all assembly because C was just too slow. https://youtu.be/cpezr7puRFo None of my stuff was included because it really wasn't good enough. Also the guy who did

Don't feel too hard on yourself. While I do not think I've installed malware because of that, I've mostly been lucky I guess (or just haven't noticed the malware yet). The stars are aligned against you on this: 1) impat

Bah, just grinding some beans and using fresh milk gives you more enjoyable coffee for a lot less money AND it gives you the option to experiment with different kinds of beans and milk. (AND it makes you not dependent on a specific brand of

I had expected more issues getting the official Nvidia drivers to work but all it took was a package install and a reboot.

I've been using Void Linux for a couple of weeks now on my new machine at work and I've been enjoying it a lot. It brings a BSD'ish elegance to Linux. No issues hardware-wise either so far: - Intel Core i7-7700K - MSI Z270 G

Perhaps some kind of package manager that auto-updates plugins? My packages are static and I only update when there's a good reason to do so.

I store my configs in a git repo on Seafile/Syncwerk (Dropbox alternative). This gives me a seamless experience on Unix, OSX and Windows where I just have to link to them from my home directory when on a new computer. Yes, it took an i
