Hah. Totally. I am no longer at Apple and free to improve other software. Just curious, what were some specific issues that caused your move?

If there is an open source project out there that you want to be involved in, you just start contributing. Either find an open issue you want to fix, or identify some feature or improvement that you would like to see and implement it. This

You may be disappointed by my answer, but I have been a Mac user since 2001. Steve Jobs hired as many of the Eazel team members who wanted to come to Apple when the company closed. Many of us took the offer and other went to Android, Google

You are getting down-voted, but I understand your comment as the history of Eazel will become less known as time passes. The company was only around for a couple of years. There actually was a business plan and it involved configuration ser

Original Nautilus developer here. This really distressing, but not surprising, given the various issues GNOME has had over the years. I wish I could come up with a solution, other than raising a large amount of cash and creating another ent

I started a video game company in 1994 that used SGI Indigo workstations to render animations created in StrataVision 3D [1]. The artists and animators would model, surface and animate on Macs and then send the files to the SGI machines for

Thanks. Yes, I hope life will be kind to you and you don't have to experience anything similar.

If I knew that my outcome and experience would be identical, I wouldn't have the CAR-T therapy. The chemo (DA-EPOCH and methotrexate) gave Mel a few months of life with decent quality, but then things got very very difficult. The quest

Other good answers are here about additional mutations occurring, making the cells no longer receptive. Another reason is that receiving CAR-T itself is quite risky. Almost everyone experiences some level of neurotoxicity, decreased cogniti

CAR-T therapy is indeed very cool and very promising against certain lymphomas. My wife had triple-hit DLBPL (rearrangements of the c-MYC, BLC-2 and BCL-6 genes) and received CAR-T therapy. The therapy itself almost killed her due to neurot

I feel as if I comment with too much detail, I may be contacted by the Attorneys General of various states. In the early days, things were totally unregulated. Odds, statistics and other variables could be adjusted or manipulated. Automated

One of the greatest professional shames of my life was being part of a fantasy sports for profit startup. We received tens of millions of funding from a company that is one of the major sport book operators in Las Vegas. What I first though

Great. You can ping me at the address in my profile if you want more details about how I deploy mobile applications using Lisp.

Yes. I am not powering a nuclear reactor using the engine, so I can't give you any sort of hard-RTOS numbers. The kernel of the device itself uses Linux, which has been modified with "real time" patches. At some point, I&#x27

The first thing I would suggest is see if using Lisp would satisfy some need that your current solutions are not. Sometimes it is hard to even know if that will be the case, because later generations of programmers may not even know what ma

I have modified the LW editor to be more "Mac-like" which I guess makes me less hardcore. I am not sure a hardcore emacs user would be totally happy with the LW editor either. I have also used VS Code with the Alive plugin to inte

You did mention above that 8.0 is now native M1, but you may still be quite right about the 7.1 version that is available for free download works using Rosetta 2 on the M1.

> SBCL supports the M1; lispworks and allegro still do not. I have been using LW on the M1 for months. Why do you think Apple Silicon is not supported?

Yes. I have deployed mobile applications using native UI (SwiftUI, etc.) with all the shared logic in Lisp. To me, this was a better alternative than the usual C/C++ shared logic approach. My current application is a music hardware dev

LispWorks has a very good native Macintosh development environment as well as the CAPI interface library, which enables one to develop apps that use native widgets on multiple platforms. I do much of my development on my Mac for an applicat
