Why is #2 only true for Lisp? I've seen it true for every job I've ever had.

If I can get the damned TV onto the network at all, then I can use 9fs or any other protocol including http. plan9 did not invent the network, or even the concept of shared resources. They focused on putting all resources into a filesyste

Saying things were uniform when your entire interface is "bytes to and from a file descriptor" is just editing the past to me. For most of these p9fs interactions, each one had a different format / API that you had to know in

It is truly depressing how the idea of a SIM card holding storage as well (your contacts!) didn't get bigger. It'd be awesome if my sim card ( or something the size of the old simcards ) had as much storage as it could manage. Wit

A decade ago "outlook for mobile" was essentially BB or non-existent. Reminds me of when I bought an old receipt printer with a serial port to print out the days weather, my calendar items from a text file, and any "must do&q

If it were a public company, I'd agree with you. I don't think the motivations are the same for a private company as they have direct lines of communication with all of their investors.

#1 - srfi 9 solves this mostly, though I agree about the long names. If your implementation doesn't bundle that for you, you should probably use a different implementation. #2 - preach it. #3 - The "big" schemes provide hash

Heads up - if you've bought a high density disk recently, it's probably SMR internally anyways. A write to one area can be done in a single disc rotation, as long as it's sequential. SMR disks added what are called ZBC, Zoned

Similar programatic abilities can be found in the following window managers: - wmii - via the 9fs interface - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/wmii - ion3 / notion - via lua bindings - http://notion

It's not about how hard or easy the code is to write, at all. Any line of code you don't write, is a bug you didn't write either. I worked on a significantly size go codebase and the number of stupid bugs that popped up, like

Anyone know of a good hosted gerrit solution? One of the largest problems I've had getting gerrit adoption on smaller teams is that they can just pop up a private github team easily, whereas finding hosted gerrit solutions that actuall

North Carolina still seems to have tons of Furniture manufacturing. I imagine they haven't minded raising their prices out of state however.

The departure of the modern web from text that has links -> full heterogeneous application suites that run in an elaborate VM has been wonderful for users of desktop applications, in that they no longer need to maintain several stacks of

The only one odd here for me is the ban on de-referencing more than one level. Even a simple linked list implementation uses double pointers to reset parent nodes.. Does anyone have insight into the risk in static analysis? Seems like it wo

Ahh ok! An interesting approach. For some reason I'm uncomfortable with it but I need to spend more time reasoning about what failure mode rethinkdb uses care about. I'm still not sure I fully understand the cases where this could

I guess I'm just confused how this clock becomes a trusted source of truth for forward progress? Is there a way of asserting that the clock makes forward progress that I don't understand? EDIT: Or is it that it's not required

Whoaaaa. Membership is where things get nasty, this is awesome. Punting on dynamic membership due to it's extreme difficulty to get right is usually a good idea for many projects. I'm still struggling to understand what happens in

Do you have any suggestions for what you think distributed issue trackers should look like? My favorite was simple defects with the prophet database backend, but it was very "outside" of git and this gave people heartache. Are the

It also highly depends on your office culture around email, and how it affects your personal workflow. At one job, it was like writing letters to fellow warriors across continents. You'd try to be thoughtful, taking a day or more to wr

Texinfo has actually not been so bad to use, though ugly as sin. Scribble / Skribilo (racket & guile) are both excellent, but have some sharp edges. At least for HTML I've found that using a basic subset still hasn't brok

This makes me reminisce, we had lots of bug trackers that were close to having these kinds of features when git was first hitting in the mid-ish 2000's. My favorite was Simple Defects: http://syncwith.us/sd/

The sad generalizations are in E.2 Things like stating that "evolution has stalled" while also recognizing that the format is stable is hand wavy when you consider we're discussing things that go over the wire and even end up
