   I've known this was possible for many years; but on a lark, I just wrote a microfunction that opens, in my local Emacs, a remote file I often have to edit as root. I don't live in Emacs, but there's no denying that, if I&#x

   Elsewhere, the author makes the point that with TRAMP, your local (gui) Emacs can transparently operate your remote machines (bringing with it of course all the customizations and functionality you've built into your local config--and

   I had an xml problem to solve at work, and used sxml to prototype solutions in CL and Guile. The CL solution was much (much) faster, but I ended up using Guile because the libraries are built in. Maybe I should try a Racket version. To your

   The math here is interesting on its own, but don’t miss the discussion of the animation creator’s reason for doubling the animation being so it can be seen in “stereo” as 3d if you defocus a bit.

   I would really enjoy a class that was nothing but modeling various kinds of computation entirely with recursion. Every time I accomplish something neat and clean with recursion, it feels like I just used a niche superpower.

   Do you have recommendations? (La)TeX, maybe, or *roff?

   I think I had the inverse experience. I started with Lisp because I was customizing and extending Emacs. As I self-taught programming from that point forward, most other languages have sooner or later frustrated me with inexplicable inconsi

    OWL and RDF interest me immensely, intellectually. I've never been positioned to use either one professionally, but it looks fascinating. Is there a shorter path to successful modeling than the hard way? Is there a good source on this?

    As this thread currently has a lot of critics, I just want to put in a personal plug for JD. I've been using it for some time now for family and personal data and it has been enormously helpful. It's true that it is occasionally v

    I'm enjoying using it for overall family/personal data organization. Took me a year to migrate in, and I allow myself the privilege of reorganizing as needed; but I've found it super simple and super stress-relieving. I do al

    I read you. I think Guile's native syntax for keywords, though more explicit, probably makes it worse. I imagine this would be clearer for a non-Lisper? Valid CL, but not Guile without a configuration change. '(:firstName &quo

    Genuine question, not trying to create or sustain a debate: are there more brackets in scheme than in json? I don't use json much, but the example I find in the "Syntax" section of the Wikipedia article on json [0], looks alm

    I'm sure the linked tools are awesome, but if I were trying to in some way stage a "live" demo, I'd first check Expect.
