The ancient Romans had far less of a problem with all of those things than many people do now; would you consider them uncivilized?

No point in placing your hope in people you don't even know. You couldn't figure an eight, with the way you're going.

Since I don't consider it my job to provide context or be constructive, I let other people like you do it for me. I might follow up on it, as is my freedom of choice, but since I can't guarantee that happening I tend to do things

You probably still don't want one, given they've been known to divulge user info to various authorities in the past.

That's what makes it come off as stupid and kneejerk to me. This guy wrote "The Wii homebrew community was all built on top of a pile of lies and copyright infringement" like it's some kind of shocking revelation. The gu

So Open Source is like a dark mirror version of Free Software. Open Source thinks that there's benefit in programs being free, but also that defending their freedom is actually a bad thing.

Paint.net isn't free software, it's proprietary freeware. It used to be free a long time ago, but the author is a tool and made it closed source because people were creating other versions of it.

I think working with a ready-made Unix isn't as friendly to the idea of 'hobbying' an OS. For studying how Unix works, it's great. But if I wanted to make experimenting with my own bespoke system worth it, I would try to

It would be great if there were more hobby OS resources targetting something other than X86. It is common and everything, but all the bootstrapping and device cruft involved isn't something you should need to get in your head, and 386

Seems like Visual Studio rots the mind so bad nowadays that people would rather clamor support for useless garbage like LSP in their editors, and if it can't be supported very well it's foremost the editor's fault, not the fa

A shitpost doesn't have to be low effort, rather I'd argue the greatest ones are often quite high effort, and invoke a sense of poetry and lucidity that makes you question what could've gone on inside the head of the perso

An issue I have with imageboards is that use of images invites low-effort posting because it makes it easy to be as annoying as possible, whereas with pure text making inflammatory remarks at least takes some forethought, and it invites uni

It's the only Macsyma anyone's running these days, so maybe if Symbolics hadn't killed it off there'd be another version more deserving of the title.

I got a lightly used copy off Amazon, along with "The UNIX programming environment" a year or two ago, probably. They're both fine with only a bit of wear, but I don't think they were ever of a super sturdy binding that

I don't disagree with you there. The only thing CL really misses out on is that its type system isn't specced out enough to be as powerful as it could be. Since they're just macros you can write all kinds of crazy types, but

I don't believe it's not intrinsic. A lot of the reason why Lispers may be averse to static types is because of the perceived inflexibility it can induce into the system. Lisp programmers don't want to be told what to do, esp
