Because it's not a derived work (not based on numpy code) thus the library author is free to choose a license that he feels best protects his code and aligns with his interests. LGPL offers significant protections that can not be found

by armitron 7y ago
A BSD-style license does not protect contributions/changes to the library so it follows that it is not a drop-in replacement for LGPL. Multiple people have told you that there are no technical issues with LGPL applied to Lisp programs

There are no ambiguities in LGPL. "Franz did LLGPL" is not by itself a good enough reason to suspect there are or to use LLGPL.

I took psilocybin (est) 100+ times. My recommendations are the opposite of yours. First, I recommend everyone who is highly self-aware and extremely curious about the nature of the mind try it, _multiple times_ . There is literally nothing

I have a Matrox millenium (best DOS card ever!), three G400 cards and one G400 Max. They worked incredibly well with Linux esp with multiple monitors. I had 2 of them in one tower, driving 4 monitors at once at some point. I fondly remember

There are lot of script kiddies in the malware-for-profit business, it doesn't take a lot of skill really. He's not at the bottom of the barrel but he's definitely not very far from it.

That's exactly what he did, registered the domain on a whim with no actual facts to back his decision. I think that much is obvious. My reading of the situation is also based on additional data that's public if you care to look. H

Would be a lot better with a stable C API. I know they've been working on it but I can't find anything relevant on their website (which is pretty bad for prospective users to begin with).

Keep in mind that Hutchins had no idea what registering the domain would do at the time of registration. It was pure dumb luck that it turned out for the best, it could very well have been a disaster. In fact he even admits that he went thr

The Lisp code is terrible performance-wise and written by someone who obviously doesn't know Common Lisp very well. Look at Steve Losh's comment here for something a lot better. My own (further) improvements put SBCL performance i

by armitron 8y ago
I did some quick changes to your code (inlining, stack allocating) and got a further ~2x speedup which makes SBCL performance equivalent to Julia.

I've decided never to fly Boeing ever again (not just the 737 max). I'm pretty sure I'll remember just fine and stick to my decision. Everyone I have had discussions with about this issue is also not willing to fly 737 max an

The problem with Nix is that it's not a proper programming language. I'll take Scheme over yet another obscure language that manages to irritate me in many ways.

The thing that kills Clojure for a lot of teams I worked with is the JVM. It's too limiting and constrains the problems one can solve.

Sandberg is a major liability and should be gotten rid of ASAP. Mark has a vision and has made some good choices, prescient moves and (most importantly) great long-term bets but Sandberg looks to me like a career opportunist, completely out

WebGL doesn't have compute shaders. There are (gross) hacks that "emulate" gpu compute on top of stock shaders but they're limited and can't possibly compete with CUDA.

I know Lisp and more specifically, Lisp machines, have greatly influenced Mathematica but when I read that Wolfram is using Mathematica as a computer shell I can't help but think that he's taken the Symbolics Genera paradigm and r

There are too many mistakes and typos in this to recommend it. Better if you go straight to the end and click on "TTY demystified" and the other links he recommends.

That book contains so many outright falsehoods and misrepresentations that it belongs in a garbage bin. Even the guardian [1] thrashed it not to mention titans like John Gray [2]. It doesn't surprise me to learn that Pinker also manage

Some read this quote as a harbinger of WW2. I think it fits the current zeitgeist much better and is part of what Nietzsche called the age of the last man: The destruction of religion and the complete lack of meaning in modern western socie

The first standout example was VGA and games that fully took advantage of it. I was an Amiga user but AGA was too little too late and architecturally a disaster for certain games (DOOM, Quake). Even games like Monkey Island and Indiana Jone

Not even close. PC Speaker vs Soundblaster is Hercules (monochrome) vs VGA. You could never go back, same as 3dfx. GUS was better than sb pro/sb 16 but a lot of games didn't take advantage of it and once AWE32/64 arrived, GUS
