Switzerland has 76000 illegal immigrants. The quality (education, earning potential, skills) of legal immigrants to Switzerland is very high. Italy has more than - half a million - illegal immigrants. [1] Italy has five million+ legal immig

I don't see how I can't understand the Italian situation if I'm not living in Italy. The link I posted in my previous comment was from a "real newspaper". There are hundreds of links like that, all from "real n

Not to mention that Italy is fast on the way to becoming - if not already there - a mafia state. Reading Roberto Saviano's Gomorra opened my eyes as to how machine-like in its efficiency and hydra-like in its resiliency organized crime

The decisions behind Clojure worked out well for Rich Hickey and his consultancy but they don't fit the programs that I find myself writing all the time (compilers, assemblers, virtual machines, tight control of code generation and me

by armitron 8y ago
I'd still pick something else in that case too since I don't really like the decisions behind Clojure. But hey go for it if it fits the problems that you find yourself solving.

Clojure is practically tied to the JVM and the Java ecosystem (ClojureScript is different enough to count as a different language so I'll focus on Clojure). To me that's not fun. It's also limited by design to fit the develop

Rust does not have native C++ interop. C ABI is different to what clasp has done (native C++ interop). All widely used Common Lisp implementations have seamless C ABI interop through their FFIs / CFFI [1]. Clasp goes above and beyond t

Given that clasp is a Common Lisp - that passes 97%+ of CL ANSI tests on par with other CL implementations like SBCL - then answer is obviously yes. You need to go into more detail about why you think llvm would make a difference. Common Li

I couldn't make it past 5 minutes. Fratboy-level jokes and constant detours into the irrelevant. Clearly my sense of humor is different from theirs.

Crowley had a mischievous streak and delighted being in the spotlight. His writing style was infused by sarcasm and was all over the spectrum of using poetic and sexual language to both offend and veil. I do not think you are correct in you

Most of what they ascribe to Crowley is highly dubious and sensationalist. There have been many independent biographies of Crowley published, not to mention his "autohagiography" that shed a lot of light

We saw how the 'invisible hand of the market' played out in the housing collapse of 2008. Even the clown known as Alan Greenspan admitted that his ideology was shaken.

Regulation can not work if there is regulatory capture which in practice means that there are no penalties. As long as corporations have no skin in the game and only abide by short-term greed, it's in their best interest to keep findin

On Windows, a complete sqlite3 DLL (~1MB) is included with the Python distribution. On Linux/macos, the Python extension (usually) links dynamically to a shared sqlite3 system library.

Prion diseases have incubation periods that are very long (5 to 20 years). It is only after symptoms appear that the end is near (a year or less).

You should use an external DAC connected to your digital device via optical or spdif connection. Then connect your monitors to your DAC. I bet this solves all your problems.

Just to be clear: I didn't buy the book or upload it to libgen. But I don't really agree with you. The author will do what the author wants to do, it has no bearing on somebody else uploading something he bought to libgen or not.

You can find it on libgen.

I think what you describe has more to do with the population in general than the artificial limits of the various mediums. In BBS and early Internet days (pre-95 or so), people who were using computers were highly intelligent. Certainly abo

This runs off of an unofficial emulator that is a monstrous hack. There are lots of gotchas, bugs and so on. On the other hand, an official emulator is in the works and should be released at some point.

You are being obtuse. There really is no comparison between Vim and Emacs. Vim is just an editor. Emacs is an environment, a Lisp Machine. I'm running a web browser, mail client, irc client, news client, twitter client, RSS reader and
