I don't do any AI work, and I just got an Intel GPU. It just worked. I have not installed anything extra, nor have I had to configure anything. It has worked flawlessly.

It was never the biggest hurdle for guile performance. I do believe guix has the potential to hit the GC wall, but for most programs I think it has served guile well. With that said, the upcoming immix collector is really friggin exciting.

I dont allow other people to set my fonts. Nor do I allow them to go under a certain font size, and if the colour choices suck too badly I use reader mode. I have set up so that I can disable any highjacking of scrolling or the back button.

Nobody would re-implement TLS in a garbage collected language, at least if they planned to use it. There are libraries for that. And who kn their right mind would implement PDF parsing themselves? The more I familiarise myself with the PDF

Nope. I am not a programmer, except for that time I got paid to write common lisp. The only thing except that I have done for money is some data processing using python.

It is about the country France keeping alcohol production up by promising to destroy wine it paid market rate for. It is about alcohol politics which makes it about drinking.

It depends on the person asking. If they are pushy and don't accept an "I'd rather not" or even "no I'm driving" I hit low. I must however admit that I have a tendency to become a polemic ass-hat, and tryi

Do you know how fucking annoying it is to have to defend not drinking? We live in such an alcohol centric culture that we should celebrate anyone not participating in it because of the bad effects it has on society. I drink very little (sma

This is drives home some of the things I really like about scheme. Scheme is built on a few selected primitives and much of the language comes together on top of that. Since learning that I have started disliking all the things that I just

In which way is that law useless for consumers then? Because, quite frankly, the last couple of years has made me quite jaded with regards to companies supporting right to repair.

I find it rather baffling that people don't seem to spend any time reading specs. I haven't done anything even remotely serious in HTML since about 2003, and I know about (and have used) the dir attribute. it is one of maybe 12 gl

Same here, but I let most things replace the current buffer. Magit always fills the frame though.

I always end up with MPL whenever I do these kinds of selection guides and always wonder why it isn't more widely used. Is it because the lgpl covers a lot of the need for it, or because once you allow static linking you might as well

Of course not, but knowing that the program should never continue executing in an erroneous state is for me a pretty nice-to-have. Scheme enforces correctness and safety in many places and I think that one in particular is important enough

Hi John! I have always made the claim that racket (minus the #lang bit) is the natural continuation of r6rs. Delimited continuations, immutable pairs, continuation marks and such. They also chose, in my opinion, some more sane paths with re

I had to use Nix in a project of mine and was surprised at how clunky it felt compared to guix. Writing packages meant string concatenations and juggling outputs to the command line. I prefer guix. Every day of the week.

I am usually only targeting guile, mostly because of guix. Guile or chicken seems to be the most popular schemes, but Chez is a compelling choice when there are no external dependencies.

r6rs was hugely controversial for many reasons. r7rs-small went back to the r5rs roots, whereas many of us (yes, me included) thought building on r6rs would be the better choice. Much of the process that was started in r6rs led to racket. K

Well, first of all Racket more closely resembles r6rs. The main large r6rs implementations (guile and chez) both have proper threads (guile even has a parallel CML, which is probably my favourite way to do parallelism of all time) and a sta

I discovered this myself yesterday. I suddenly saw a drop in performance after an update and ran a phoronix benchmark I have been running to see results from my overclock. I got a 5s (~8% ) increase in timed Linux kernel compilation. I turn
