As far as unsupported distros go, void is pretty nice. One of very few interesting distros out there without being a full departure from the norm like nixos. http://www.voidlinux.eu/

I found httpie last week when I started to think I should write a replacement for curl with a much better UI.

The book isn't really about lisp, it's about thinking in terms of higher order functions and recursion, which apply in any functional language.

I just installed void on my laptop (x230) and it's quite nice. Very minimal and uses runit for managing services. Not many packages but it's had everything I've needed so far. It also uses libressl and the packages build agai

I have a t60 I play around on and the 4:3 is awesome, but man those displays are such painfully low quality compared to an IPS screen.

Shellcheck is excellent, especially since syntastic will use it without any configuration.

I don't really know how to compare these things since I don't think Haskell was really very useful at it's 1.0 release, but Haskell 1.0 came out in 1990, 4 years after Erlang, they're both pretty old.

Haskell does it the way Rust does and it's pretty frustrating to have tons of solutions to evaluate for everything you want to do. Maybe crates.io will have a better discovery story, or rust will have a larger user base that makes it

People ignoring old works is why we have node and people trying to put polish it with promises, rather than people just using Haskell or Erlang or something else with lightweight threads. Or at least something inspired by them.

Looks quite good: https://www.dragonflybsd.org/performance/ I'm not really sure how to benchmark it myself, those are from 2012 and I'm sure things have improved since then.

tarsnap forces you to type "No Tomorrow" when you try to delete all your backup. Something like that would be great.

My roommate is working on this problem: http://diamondman.github.io/Adapt/ https://github.com/diamondman/Adapt I don't understand this stuff well, I'll try to get him to comment here.

The way I consider it quite similar is that the freedom to own slaves isn't a real freedom, neither is the freedom to use my code to restrict other people's freedom in computing.

by cgag 12y ago
If you like other people controlling your computer/data and only being able to work with their permission, then no, I guess you don't need free software. Market share on desktops might be low, though I don't actually care. I

Were people not opposed? I was opposed, but as far as I know there wasn't a vote about it.

Restrictive in that it prevents you from fucking people over. This is like saying laws against slavery restrict freedom (freedom to own slaves). https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/freedom-or-power.html

I'm going to try moving the stuff currently hosted on a debian box over to it and see how that experience goes. If everything goes well, I'll see if I can get it working well on my laptop and try to switch over. I'd like to

I don't know about "possible to express", but having learned Haskell, I see monoids everywhere. In the SICP lectures, when Sussman teaches the class the word "predicate", he mentions that knowing the names of these
