Part of it is that we're mixing two things that are a bit arbitrary. How "urban" a city is and what the limits of a "city" are. Both of these are fungible by the community, as they should be. Urban living where I gr

GOOPS[0] in guile is definitely hugely inspired by CLOS, which also has generic functions with multi-method dispatch. I highly recommend guile to anyone who wants the battery included nature of common lisp. I know that racket is also a grea

I'm so excited for this. The power of org-babel is the common 'org table' format that can be used to interchange data between different languages. Has IPython thought about how to send data / state between steps without

If the table is too large, make it smaller by moving some of the data to a colder, slower, store. Whether that's json documents or text file gzips on 6x USB drives, data retention is mostly cheap. The question is, what information do y

Not just that, but the website uses HSTS so you can't connect to it without getting a certificate that your browser thinks is valid (at least in firefox, you can't create an exception from the main error page).

It's similar to developing emacs-lisp packages with emacs. It's a dream.

Overriding `read` is really neat! While I was reading this I realized just about any scheme implementation could probably override their `read` like this as well. Obviously racket as an implementation has focused on making this work well.
