Seems the only solution is to turn off all background downloads, and just kick them manually. On reflection, I don't think I'm actually gaining that much (or anything at all) by letting them run automatically anyway. It's a

Emacs... Largely written in Lisp and is a great resource. Also has SLIME which is a fantastic way to develop with Common Lisp. Clojure support in Emacs (via Cider) is also great. Emacs is often the first exposure that many get with Lisp (o

To clarify this was an OS Upgrade. If it was an update, I wouldn't be surprised at all.

Skype mobile client wasn't working. During the Skype call I had shitty QOS too, and yes, the full download had completed by the time I'd finished the meeting, because the MacBook was closed immediately after. I will turn off autom

Had I been answering the post myself, I'd say something similar. I think it's simply the fact I got directly impacted that I feel differently. That said, it's still 50/50 for me, but full OS upgrade downloads are not a s

Re: Smalltalk, Alan Kay borrowed nil from Lisp. Matz (ruby) also borrowed nil from Lisp. (He was also inspired by Smalltalk.)

I'll go out on a limb here and say it wasn't Event Sourcing that caused the problems. Anything can be ^H^H^H^Hmessed up.

I'd also recommend Clojurescript, it's easily the most mature Lisp environment for the web. Everything else currently feels deeply lacking. Server side CL is a lot better covered.

True, but I think calling this usage archaic is still ok(ish) unless we are in pedantic mode, and of course sometimes we must. Since you say yourself, non-8 bit bytes are no longer at large. I agree certainly that in networking and when dea

True, a byte could mean something other than 8bits when dealing with deep legacy hardware systems. But that ambiguity has almost vanished now.

You are probably confusing octals with octets. Octals (in the current context) is simply a way of referring to the fact the opcodes are expressed in octal values (base 8), as opposed to hex (base 16) or binary (base 2). Octet on the other h

My assumption is that Trump knew full well what he meant by saying he'd bring jobs back to America. Just he neglected to mention that they'll not be done by people.

Use Fn and numbers as function keys and you're done.

Since you're actually writing tests (you say you're doing checks, which are effectively tests.) Why not just add them to a test suite? You win twice, or more. You get proof of the assertions you're making to your peers, you g

When was this ever the definition of popularity. I'd like it if it was, but I've never witnessed popularity that embodies that statement. Popular opinion is usually informed by the most often repeated narrative.

I should clarify that while the simple existence of the Internet doesn't make getting caught more likely, social media at least increases the chance of someone on the related social graph seeing something, and reporting it.

Not op but it seems like a logical step to at least attempt to do this, or something similar.
