It's not quite the same but since Emacs is primarily an OS it has window managements build in, so by running it fullscreen and making a bunch of horizontal and vertical splits you get pretty close to i3[1] as well. The only problem is

Are there reasons why Linux couldn't just adopt it?

Nice, but some minor quibbles: 1. The site doesn't load at all when NoScript is active, 2. Once NoScript is deactivated and search results are displayed the middle mouse button to open something in a new tab doesn't work, 3. It us

How does it compare to i3? After evaluating quite some tiling window managers i3 ended up as my favourite. However I can't recall evaluating Ion3.

I think serious Linux users going for mouse-free and / or using tiling window managers designate one of the Windows / menu / command / Apple keys as "window manager" key as well. It's nice though that MS m

If you write Lisp every day why not remap the ( and ) to a non-shifted position? I use the [ and ] keys but I use Common Lisp, not Clojure.

The USB story seems similar to software like systemd and PulseAudio. As a software guy I like the simplicity USB has brought me as a user but I dread the complexity of systemd and PulseAudio.

Yeah, I've read that before. I wonder what an entry from their error database would look like.

Many houses do not have a landline anymore (at least for the people I know in the Netherlands). It will only get less anyway.

People have been pointing out the problems with snooping, surveillance and the effect of technology for decades now. It is not something people can say that it just snuck up to them. They either did not care or called people pointing the in

Having to learn German and French at middle school and deeply hating those languages because of all their inconsistencies I was surprised how regular Spanish was when I traveled to Guatemala for a course. After three weeks it could talk an

Give it some time, it'll pass. There's the Erlang days sometimes or whenever Apple releases something I don't want to read HN for a couple of days either.

It's hard to say whether it is worth it. Is there anything you're missing from Vim + Tmux? The best thing would be to just check it out if you're ever in a playful mood but the chance is pretty big that just playing around w

One of the nice things about Linux desktops is that you're not tied to the default window manager like you are in Windows and OSX. While Linux distros might have a default window manager (like your Unity example for Ubuntu) it is stil

Yes, this is also correct. In most (if not all) Lisps the generic structure is "(operator [arg1] [arg2] [...] [argn])".

While it's useful to learn proper debugging sometime your approach is valid as well. By the looks of it you're using the optimal solution to your problem. I prefer to code in Common Lisp on the REPL and do the same thing as you mo

Ugh, please let Common Lisp be. There's enough bondage & discipline languages already so it is nice to have CL on the opposite side of the spectrum.

Actually, that's just what I did for my mother. She got emailed by her bank that using Windows XP would not be safe anymore and worriedly asked what to do: "do I have to buy a new computer?" Since all she basically used was O

The Google AI challenges allowed one to run a game server locally so testing was only limited by one's own resources. (A bot made using genetic programming did pretty well: http://planetwars.aichallenge.org/profile.php

I'm not sure whether I am parsing you correctly, but did you just call Lisp not influential?

It isn't. Common Lisp and Scheme can do this as well and I like the look of predicate functions like "list?" or "number?": (list? object) (number? 1) => returns true (number? "abc") =>

I think the main problem isn't the quality of the system of measurement used by the US, but more that it is one of only three countries still not using the metric system. The world would be an easier place without that headache.

Most server software is emulated but I suspect there might be instances of leaked server software.

That might still be an understatement. He wrote one of the top books for (Common) Lisp: http://www.paulgraham.com/onlisp.html Peter Norvig on the book: http://www.amazon.com/review/RRFAH7G81ASUL/re

I don't know this game, but if for example Blizzard would shut down the World of Warcraft servers you could still play it on private servers. Same for a lot of other MMOs that do not have their official server anymore like Star Wars G
