If there exists an absolute reality it only make sense to be non-objective [nirguna brahman in advaita] nothingness, in contrast to objective nothingness which conceptually is nihilism. Mathematics can be used to study the universe at the o

Hello Joanna.

.ru was an euphemism, I meant the country [Russia] not the specific .ru tld. rutracker.org is hosted in Russia. libgen and sci-hub are using a more complicated setup with lots of fronts (in various countries) run by people who know what the

It makes no sense to put time and effort into a community when it can be taken down once it becomes popular. Rather the technical issues should first be solved so that the community will grow without limits. Solutions are plenty, the will a

He meant further decoupling the torrents, not the metadata. Obviously you need the metadata to come from your users and community, not just 3rd party providers. Otherwise what would be the point? The wealth of the metadata present in what.c

There are 3 (and only three) solutions here, for whomever thinks of doing something similar again: + Hidden service in TOR + Tracker/forums hosted in .ru (Nobody took down libgen or sci-hub yet and you can bet many have tried) + Decent

It won't matter, if they become a big enough threat to powerful interests they will be taken down. The only solutions I see are: hidden service in TOR, tracker hosted in .ru (nobody took down libgen yet and you can bet plenty have trie

I've rolled my own. The way it works is: + It parses source.txt files from quicklisp-projects and builds its own database. Then it can go out and fetch those projects directly [no curation] from their homepages over https/gi

You do not need to explicitly load them, ASDF will do it for you. You do need to declare the dependencies though. Here is an example (example.asd) (defsystem :example :name "Example" :description "Example."

by armitron 10y ago
Use ASDF ( https://common-lisp.net/project/asdf/ ), it is the de-facto standard in CL. Quicklisp does not replace ASDF (it uses ASDF internally).

Again, these are not ideal for software distribution in the general case (but can be useful for certain cases, so fine as an extra option). Do you see many Python projects being distributed as virtualenv tarballs which quicklisp bundles may

Sure, I forgot to mention that.

I saw later in the thread that you're Daniel. I enjoy your emacs-devel posts and your back&forths with Eli/Stefan. I liked (and was in full agreement with) your commentary during Emacs dynamic modules dev, and I also enjoyed y

I tried writing one in pure Elisp some time ago, but it was too slow. Maybe I'll give it another shot in C this time, on top of the new dynamic module support. The built-in terminal emulator is atrocious, both code-quality and feature-

I think johnw tried at some point but Yamamoto isn't very excited at the prospect, and who would really blame him? Keeping his work out of the main branch gives him the freedom he needs to focus on technical matters and introduce suppo

It's not just the lack of sandboxing, Spidermonkey is qualitatively worse than V8. The metric used is ease of finding exploitable bugs _without taking sandboxing into account_. I do not know where you get your security track record fro

They do seem to have Chrome-style Sandboxing in-progress, I guess we'll see how it turns out. 0day being used by various parties is exactly what I'm talking about here. Most of it will not get patched anytime soon and I dare say i

It's telling that not one comment in this entire thread mentions security and exploitability, two areas where Firefox is not just terrible, but the worst choice amongst (Chrome, Safari, Firefox) (1) but also Edge and IE 11. Everyone is

I'm not conflating them, they're already conflated and not very well defined. Consciousness implies "someone" that is conscious. A self-model in other words. Babies, like most animals, do not possess consciousness in tha

Rather than getting into dualism or non-intuitive philosophy/metaphysics, it's better to view humans as philosophical zombies from the get-go. Consciousness is not something we possess from birth, but a self-model that gradually e

There are plenty of module systems already there. If you want racket-style modules you can also have them by implementing them.

Racket isn't anywhere near close to what CL offers. Your comments make me think that you've never used CL/SLIME extensively. CL and SLIME are geared for __interactive image-based development__. The DrRacket IDE makes you jump

Agreed on Safari/Edge but note that I didn't use the words "very secure" to describe Chrome in isolation. How can something that gets publicly exploited year after year by _teenagers_ (1)(2) be called "very secure&q

by armitron 10y ago
Unfortunately for everyone that cares about security, using Firefox (or Safari or old IE) is a colossal mistake since it's orders of magnitude easier to exploit (with almost no serious anti-exploitation mitigations) than Chrome. Spide
