SXML (the scheme tooling around a certain form of s-expression XML) is by far my most favourite way of working with XML.

You share that experience with what seems a lot of people. The quiet clicks seem to have chattering issues. I have probably been lucky. A friend had one switch that chattered, but I opened it up and cleaned out some of the lube and it was f

The matias quiet click arent really meant to be very silent. I think it alludes to the tactility of their clicky switch minus the click. Their quiet linears are dampened light linear switches, and sound less than most rubber domes. Matias b

Matias makes keyboards for typists. I love my matias quiet click, but some people have reported reliability issues (chattering) with the switches in keyboards other than matias' own. If you want tactile switches they are a great option

I have been through the whole mechanical keyboard phase and concluded that there are two keyboards I will never give up. Matias quiet click (mini) and my old trusty dome with slider of some brand I dont know (although googling around I susp

WPA2 uses SHA1 IIRC. I havent seen a WPA network in over 10 years. I am pretty sure that code path can (and maybe should) be stripped.

The swedish laws apply to news letters as well. I rented a car from them in 2015. In 2018 I had enough.

Sixt (car rental) did not follow these rules. The procedure was something like "write a letter to out german head quarters". I ended up making a GDPR request for them to first send me all data they had and then remove any data (in

On a similar note: Has cpython implemented tagged pointers yet? I remember there being a lot more discussion about boxed types when Java sometimes boxed primitive types (at the expense of performance). Why python gets away with it I don&#x2

I disabled SMT in 2007 after reading colin percivals thoughts on intels hyperthreading. I have disabled it on every computer I have had since, since the fixes didn't inspire much confidence back then. I have done benchmarks from time t

The racket top-level is pretty half-assed compared to something like SBCL. Compared to most schemes it is about 1/4 assed. There is good reason for it in the racket context, but if you want a lisp machine you should pick something else

That speed comparison is invalid. The chez scheme sieve is awful, whereas the sbcl one is fine.

Not much better. About 2x for many things, but generally higher memory usage. Guile has a better multi-threading story with guile-fibers. I went from racket to guile because I find guile more fun. For production things I would probably use

It is not a terrible hack. It is a useful thing to do if you dont have things like paren highlighting or paredit. I am firmly in the "paren clutter doesn't exist" camp.

There are functions starting with < and > so that's no good. And / and \ are already used elsewhere.

Only R6RS made () and [] interchangeable. That was hugely controversial, with opponents (myself included) thinking it was a waste of 1/3 of the matching pair symbols. And the suggested use was not quite the syntax you showed: http:&#x

To me that seems like planned obsolescence. Networking a printer using a raspberry pi (or similar) means it will stay up to date, regardless of vendor EOLing it or not. I have a printer that does wifi, but it is stuck forever at 802.11g, me

Of course. They HAD drivers. For windows XP. Or maybe even current windows version, but the drivers are nowhere to be found today. I will never buy a network printer if USB printers are available. They suffer the usual IOT problem. In a cou

hehe. i remember a thing posted about python-on-guile, a rather ambitious project implementing python by compiling it to guile sheme. The scheme code it produces is pretty awful. Not because it is bad, but because python is extremely unidio

I have screamed at scanners and printers not working in windows, just to plug them into linux and have them work without any interaction from my part. Unknown hardware is a mixed bag, but for printers i love the feeling that they will never

I wonder how much a performance hit not having "hyperthreading" would be for the AMD cpu. Back when the openBSD guys disabled it I did the same, and I havent really noticed much difference in the workloads I have. Considering the

People ingest all kinds of things. Back in the 90s GHB was huge in my home town, and when the inflow dried up, people started drinking floor cleaner since the liver converted some kind of common ingredient in it to GHB. Floor cleaning fluid

IIRC the python-on-guile project can probably do this using some C voodoo. I believe it can serialize continuations and make deep copies of generators with mutable state. Edit: however, I doubt the serialized format is human readable by def
