I'm not experienced in this whole area, so I meant to ask in an open ended way :) Does uLisp play well with sleep modes and setting up interrupts to come out of sleep and stuff? I've been wanting to build a lower power weather log

I love lisps, but isn't using a garbage collected language on a micro a bit bizarre? I'm sure in lots of cases it won't matter, but then you could probably can use some cheap ARM SBC and IO pins (and a full dev environment).

last I tried VSCode there was a noticeable input lag (keystroke to character on screen). Is there some trick to fix this? I found it incredibly distracting. In Emacs... Magit is instantaneous while orgmode tangle/export is embarrassing

Per this comment https://www.cnx-software.com/2021/04/17/loongson-loongarch-c... It seems risc-v relies on a patent pool dominated by us companies. So the us can arbitrarily extrajudicially stomp on chinese c

Well non-web GUIs have been basically stagnant for a good chunk of that 40 years :) You're right that it's OO under the hood. The latest thing I've used is CLJFX which is a React-like wrapper around JavaFX. I don't feel

Just out of curiosity, is Alan Turing from Cryptonomicon at all recognizable?

Yeah but this actually not very good. The good GIFs don't redraw the static areas of the image. You can see it in the keyboard gif As far as I know there is no automated tool to do it though. It's done manually by the meme lords A

Is it still being actively developed? I used to follow their message board and it felt like it kinda lost steam a few years back. It never quite got the critical mass it needed. The community is tiny.. and other tools have improved substant

There is no rush. I will wait for the AppImage to get published. It's just the release links to Linux downloads are broken and I thought someone in charge will see it Btw am I reading it correctly - you guys are still on Subversion? an

Neither Ubuntu packages haven't been updated nor the official PPA. The latest version of Ubuntu mentioned is .. 19.04 .. so I think the page hasn't been updated in ages. I guess maybe it works if you build from source? But last I

Right, yeah. That was exactly the issue. Tons of garbage gets dragged in when you use a little corner of a huge library. And I'm mostly leaning on Java libraries. Yet it seems it somehow couldn't figure out which parts I was using

Yeah, it's not a bad idea. I did try proguard at one point.. but it's such a baroque tool. It's likely something I did wrong, but I never managed to get proguard to remove anything properly. Either nothing was removed or it&#

From the outside it looks like an understandable shift away from desktop applications (the devs and money isn't there). I made an desktop app used Clojure + CLJFX and I got a ~25MB JAR. It then balloons to ~65MB jlinked packages. I end

Ah okay. To me "tree shaking" was implicitly talking about the dependency tree and removing unused library dependencies. While "dead code elimination" would be a "deep" clean done by a linker when making a stat

I'm not super familiar with the ecosystem, but does the GraalVM compiler provide a way to "tree shake" dependencies? This past year I wrote a rather simple desktop app (JavaFX) for work using Clojure. But Java by default uses

Could you be more specific? What's lower quality?

From a cursory look, jvm byte code and wasm byte code seem quite similar. where is the major mismatch btw underlying machine abstractions?

The grad students in the lab next door have to sit meticulously for hours/days with dental drills drilling out samples from rocks. I was hoping to be able to automate it with an affordable CNC machine (and an attached scanner bed) – bu

In case you see this `bbatsov` - do you ever consider writing your own editor? I feel an Emacs-like modular editor written in Clojure (maybe without the funky 80s shortcuts) is the next step :)

To bad none of these are paired with themes/configurations. Anyone have any idea how the 7th one is configured? https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2936638/44629544-3... Look pretty good...

The article kind glosses over why the Global Hawk isn't an adequate replacement. Seems it would check all the boxes?

From the article the maximum speed seems to be limited by structural constraints. But surely a loaded 777 at lift off isn't on the verge of disintegrating bc it's going to fast. Maybe it's a different kind of speed limitation

Oh this is an interesting workaround. Didn't know you can limit memory to processes. Ubuntu doesn't handle out of memory at all. The whole system just locks up and freezes (at least on 20.04) Like you say, it doesn't release

How does Lynx compare to eww? I occasionally use eww, though it a bit of unerogonomic pain. Esp without url autocomplete based on browser history. Though I'm sure I could yak shave that with some elisp if I was motivated enough (Firefo

I don't think China and Japan are alike in that regard. At least that wasn't my experience in China. I personally know they bought licenses for things like Matlab and TouchDesigner and whatnot. There are no local equivalents and l

If it's your knitting blog then maybe it doesn't matter. It really depends on the content. If you're selling software then it matters. They purchase software licenses like everyone else - so you're losing clients. If it&

I'd also point out that Google CDNs don't work in China and make your websites broken for 1/5th of the world's population. (Not to mention your leaking your user's info to Google - which is a dick move..)
