I also use a silicone microwave popper. Seems cleaner and less wasteful than the paper bag technique.

Ya I think you make a fair point that a lot of non coding work these days probably doesn’t actually improve the product/make it work better for the end user. I see that as simply bad management, and there is indeed a ton of it. Keep in

And for thousands of years humans got on with no written contracts at all. That doesn’t change the fact that as society evolves there are good reasons for agreements to evolve with it. I’m sure the first hundred years or so of written contr

The original question was why people don’t consider Clojure a lisp. By your yardstick, it is clearly a lisp. As far as I can tell the only argument against it being is that it does not specifically use cons cells.

Perhaps partly due to much more severe loss of men during ww2 which at the time of these photos was only ~8 years in the past. But also still trying to catch up to the west in overall wealth (tools in use are fairly crude).

Not only do they use it for web development, but they manage to regularly update and upgrade their Lisp based web apps (as opposed to ignoring customer emails because their pile of PHP/Perl is too hairy to debug).

Curious how you would do it as a service, interesting idea. It always felt to me like you couldn't do it without the hardware component, because without a box in your home how can you be assured of privacy? The box is where the cert pr

Why would you expect regular GPG users to have signed things years ago with keys that never expire? People who regularly use GPG tend to set expiration dates on their keys. Non expiring keys are a really bad idea.
