Awesome, I recently handed down that 744 set to my son and build the truck on the cover with him.

Yeah, download SBCL, load quicklisp.lisp, done. I don't see what the problem is on Windows.

May I ask your age? I'm 40 years old now and have been thinking of getting my eyes fixed as well.

Boy, that put me on a Wikipedia hike trail on subjects I had little to no knowlegde of. Thanks!

I run Linux but use the iMac keyboard and have also mapped locking to shift-eject. I didn't know it was so close to the OSX bindings. Very easy to hit, yet hard to hit accidentally.

I used to run Privoxy for years and then came the time of AdBlock, NoScript, etc. Perhaps it is indeed time to look back again.

by aerique 12y ago
It isn't quite clear to me what add-ons this can replace. Obviously AdBlock, but perhaps also Ghostery and No-Script?

Ah, humans. What will they think of next?

Gimp used to be better than that like having a "Save as" that worked or "Save" just saving the PNG you loaded and changed, instead of insisting on saving an XCF. I think they we're too close to some Gnome developer

Honest question: We lived with one car (a car that was given to us) for 4 ½ years. During that time, I walked or rode my bike to school to save on gas. We recently bought a second car with money I saved from my web design business. Is the

I switched from Vim to Emacs 15+ years ago because I did not like modal editing. Now I am using evil-mode in Emacs :-| I'm not sure which one is better either.

I only started to feel the magic and getting addicted after having worked with Common Lisp for a good while, enjoying it AND THEN switching back to another, more mainstream language. Languages like C, Java, C#, Perl, Python, Ruby. Then y

That is why I said "very opportunistic".

by aerique 12y ago
Thanks for your extensive answer.

Too little, too late IMHO. Also MS has always come across as very opportunistic, giving the impression they will drop support for this if it serves them better.

What languages have you got experience with that you feel C# is the best language you have worked with? And what makes it such a good language for you?

It kept buffering for me in Firefox but worked fine in Chrome.

Stylish, is really nice. It has been my only option so far of being able to force site to use my preferred fonts since sites started using icon fonts (which makes the "Allow site to use their own fonts" checkbox in Firefox useless

Coming from Common Lisp and having tried out Haskell recently I can ask the same about the latter while I find Lisp to be one of the most readable languages out there. It's basically what you're used to and for Lisp it does not ta

Strings are sequences and functions that work on sequences work on strings as well. So getting substrings etc. is all possible. I've had very little problems operating on strings in Common Lisp (all I missed was starts-with and ends-wi

I think there's only two and Lisp doesn't need to be on that list, but maybe I say that because I've been using Common Lisp for so long. Lisp ought to be easy since all you basically have to learn is: "(function paramete

Isn't that simply one of the downsides of choosing to work on OSX? Or maybe `brew install guile`?

No, you're right. Emacs default keybindings and especially the longer 'chords' for frequently used commands are horrible. I've never used the defaults[1] for long. First by making my own custom keybindings, then by makin

Come on guys, Emacs isn't that hard. You can be productive with it after have gone through the tutorial that comes with it. Like Unix you can't grok all of it (ever), but you won't ever need all of it. Just learn more of it

Whether they work as reliably depends on the language. Emacs + Slime for Common Lisp is fine. Nowadays there's luckily a lot of editor / IDE independent tools like Jedi, ycmd, eclim which improves the situation for Emacs and Vim c

It is possible to use Emacs + evil without knowing Emacs inside-out, but you do need some basic Emacs knowledge. If you had to do C-x C-c when entering a non-evil mode, you did not have that basic knowledge :-) The least you should do

And now you're using evil-mode I assume? (If not, try it out!)
