Sorry, but I disagree. It's not about the "image nature" of CL (which, btw, is a very outdated way of using CL), but the interactive nature of CL. They're similar, in that a Lisp REPL has a memory image, but a running

I wonder why something like this takes 4 years to roll out? Is there a legitimate reason? Or is it lobbyist dollars at work already, buying time?

I'm not sure VNC is the really the default on Linux, or that there even is a "default" solution. On local networks I've had good luck tunneling X, and it's even worked well running lightweight programs remote over a

Sure, but what happens after that when the gem developer asks for the gem to be removed from Rubygems? Or decides to leave an old, insecure version on Rubygems?

So what happens if somebody refuses to sign up?

On the other hand, I don't think it's "smart" for a person to ruminate and dwell on problems they can't change, especially not to the point that it has negative effects on their life. The way I see it, we're al

At some point it just gets ludicrous, though. Is it reasonable for everybody to go buy "burner" phones to sign up for Twitter? The truth is, it's stupid for Twitter to require a phone number, and it's especially stupid t

I'd love if they brought back the "fail whale" for this kind of announcement.

So it's Lisp with uglier syntax?

Do you not pay for your own ISP or cell service? And for all practical purposes, switching to an incognito tab is pointless against Google. If there are 99 searches from IP 1.2.3.4 using Firefox version 123.4 with Google cookies, and now 1

Call it naive if you want to, but I purposely flag all marketting emails as spam when I unsubscribe. If it weren’t spam, I wouldn’t be unsubscribing.

Interesting. I had the hardest time getting wpa_supplicant working on a new Debian install last weekend, and eventually gave up and switched to iwd, which was new to me, but worked immediately Checking now, I have wpa_supplicant 2.10, so I

Here in Boulder most property crimes are ignored by the police. They'll file a report to give to your insurance company, but they'll flat out tell you that they're not going to do anything. I think it's a few things con

No thanks. I’m already annoyed that UI on iPhone is too “busy” and there’s no way to turn off the lyrics display. If they want to add extra crap, they should put it in a new app. Even more so now that libspotify is gone.

I agree with your point, but the numbers on that site are suspicious. New Mexico's GDP isn't $400 billion - it's more like $100 billion. Colorado's is about $380-400 billion, and not $1.5 trillion. https://en

That seems overly negative, to me. Being 26th makes them average, and they get to use the money that other states use for education on other things, or lower taxes.

I agree, sometimes it is just a gut feeling, but a lot of times expertise means knowing where the gut feeling comes from and being able to explain it. If nothing else, management will be more trusting in those situations if you give good

That's a toxic attitude. The software is being written for the customer and/or management, and they're paying for it. They have a legitimate right to know why the estimate is what it is, and to understand what work is going

FWIW, Common Lisp is already a "systems Lisp".

Okay, so Musk didn't even pretend TSLA's price was reasonable, but surely you agree that "buying Twitter" is a good excuse for him to dump some TSLA while it's incredibly overvalued?

It had less to do with NIMBYism and more to do with car company profits. [1] Here in the Denver metro area, we used to have trains running all over the place, and 100 years ago, there were daily trains between Denver, Boulder, Golden, and

I love the irony that Musk wants to buy Twitter and force it to promote "free speech", but is also worried about "fake" accounts. If I want to run a thousand bots spouting fake news, isn't that my freedom of speech

But, despite all of that, they were online for years with a budget that was a fraction of $100 million. And they were hosting content that was blatantly illegal in many countries, while Wikipedia really isn't.

You don't have to justify your decision to me, but I'm also not going to feel sorry for you.
