Why? It is largely inconsequential. You save a line or two, but there are bigger fish. Clos, contitions and restarts, and types change how you actually write code. Nil being false doesn't mean anything. You can save a line of code when

The book "Don't sleep there are snakes" by Everett is still a very entertaining read! I highly recommend it.

I have found 2 crashes in osX back in Yosemite. I have reported them with every release since. I have no idea of they work on the arm Macs, but I will have the ability to check in a couple of days. Probably nothing exploitable, but still a

But every implementation except clisp, ECL and clisp do it reliably.

Well, people using it for spreading information means people being excluded from receiving that info.

This changed in the last year in Sweden. Suddenly I was asked to log in. I believe that it was rolled out in the US in 2019, so it seems based on geography

I stopped using facebook and Twitter about 10 years ago. I can't say I noticed any difference back then. The thing I am noticing now is that a larger part of civil society has moved to Facebook. I can't even find the opening hours

While I generally agree with you, I have had multiple occasions where amortized O(1) was unacceptable, whereas the overhead of linked lists was ok.

That dude has steel lips. I am a professional bassoon player, and playing anything for 9 hours straight would make my lips bleed. Edit: I apparently skimmed the article too skimmily.

I really think the scheme SRFI 166 is the nices formatting utility I have worked with: https://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-166/srfi-166.html Probably slow compared to format, but more easily extendable. The slowness could b

I have said this before, but a source->source compiler is a very handy thing to have. A loop construct in chez or guile scheme would probably translate into something tail recursive. You could then macro-expand and optimize the loop to t

Under Linux you can run transmission as another user and have an iptables rule to only allow outbound traffic through a specific interface.

It might be a sign of better nutrition during childhood. Things like iron from 6 months and up have a pretty big effect on brain function later in life.

I have studied classical music, and a friend of mine applied to a master in conducting. In the entrance exam they had to listen to a 4-part piece and when it was down they had to write it down. Genius level would however be the following: T

Oh, but USB-PD 3.0 with PPS got rid of fixed profiles. Not the charger and chargee negotiate a voltage between 3.3 and 20V. I wonder how they'll screw up that branding...

Yes. It takes quite some time, though. There are hall effect switches from the 60s that still work. Edit: oh, this uses a magnet instead of a spring. That might cut the neodymium magnet lifetime short. I wonder how much..

Am I the only one that likes vanilla Haskell? I find that it quickly becomes messy with all the GHC extensions. I am although more of an SML kind of guy.

I always recommend his talk "A macro writer's bill of rights" [0] to people. It ties into some of the papers he has written, and also shows how nice it is to have a source->source optimizer. You write some code, and can th

USB2 Speeds. Why have 4k60 video on a device with no good way of getting video off it? 480mbps half duplex doesn't cut it.

Not stellar compared to something like guile and straight up slow as molasses compared to chez. But I don't think that is the goal. It is probably on par with Python for many things. https://ecraven.github.io/r7rs-bench

The scheme in question is IronScheme. Bob wrote the office integration. Leppie wrote the rest.

I haven't had one since 2006. I haven't missed it, nor do I watch any streaming services apart from the occasional documentary that generally leaves me disappointed.

For me it is that it opens all "most visited sites" in new tabs. I usually go between 6-10 sites and use tabs mostly as a "read later". Sometime last year I started getting a lot of open tabs, and closing them one by one

So, as someone that has studied classical music I have this to say: No way in hell that he went through one semester in one day of music theory. It is in many ways a craftsmanship that has to be practised. He had probably acquired most of t

When I ate insects I fed them compost. I tried one kind that I could feed rest products from forrestry, but I didn't care much for the taste. The discussion of SCP in feed is the same as soy beans: we can eat it ourselves. Why accept a

It is not just the protein that is a limiting factor in meat production. Especially not for grazing animals. And 20x less seems like a very high estimate compared to the current protein king, the soybean. What I am saying is: a.sustainable

So, someone wrote an integration of the lovely IronScheme (open source) in office and wants $99/yr? Wowza. Edit: Check out iron scheme here: https://github.com/IronScheme/IronScheme
