CL is case-sensitive, but it handles things so you typically don't have to be aware of it. I don't think I'm smart enough to try to do something clever on top of that, so I hope I can avoid your pain.

You can think of code reviews as an opportunity for knowledge transfer. ... and it has the added benefit that the person it's directed to will actually read your feedback since it would be directly related to work they're doing.

I agree, which is better - for or map - depends on context. map typically is functional and allocates memory, for does not. But for is more likely to have side-effects. Which trade-offs matter depends on the larger context of the surroundin

Public transit isn’t free on the strip except during New Years Eve and possibly some other special occasions. The monorail from Mandalay Bay to Bellagio is free, but it isn’t public transit.

The code looks pretty readable, if you're familiar with CL and the Windows API - nice! You might want to consider not :USEing your dependencies, and use the package name prefix when you invoke exported symbols instead, though, like you

In Common Lisp, '(' is a macro character that triggers a reader macro to read/parse the list it surrounds with a pair ')'. More info: https://gist.github.com/chaitanyagupta/9324402 This one dem

> think of tests more like assertions or checksums. That's a good way to summarize how tests can catch regressions. And, I think I'm stealing that!

Everything is still an expression in CL, but you have to account for different namespaces. Also, the above can be further shortened to: (funcall (if (< 1 0) #'+ #'*) 42 100)

GitHub has had diff for images for years, and there's a web automation testing (think: Selenium) vendor called Aplitools that takes snapshots of web pages and diffs those too. I don't know of any non-proprietary tools, but at leas

I expect that with AI, we'll be less able to rely on the heuristic of bad grammar to easily detect phishing. That one flaw gave the phishers away so often, and made it so obvious ...

It looks like with this, you get macros and a repl, though.

I’ve been really liking emacs across the 3 major OSs - pretty much works the same everywhere. The joke is that emacs itself is an OS, but it makes a decent shell. Setting save-desktop to 1 and it survives Windows reboots. Change some keybin

I think you made a worthwhile point. I recall seeing either on IRC or reddit someone asking about why their code wasn't working as expected, and it lead back to needing to understand that the string literal in their code was getting up
82.
by kagevf 2y ago
Yes, updating literals is asking for trouble, or at least can lead to some confusion. If I replace ‘(a b c) in my example with (list ‘a ‘b ‘c) I got the same results.
83.
by kagevf 2y ago
Correct. (let* ((x '(a b c)) (y (cdr x)) (z (copy-list (cdr x)))) (format t "y=~A, z=~A~%" y z) (setf (nth 1 x) 'w) (format t "y=~A, z=~A~%" y z)) => y=(B C), z=(B C) y=(

Japanese e would only ever be [ɛ]. The constructs to produce an [e] sound would be transliterated as "ei" (the quoted are just letters, not meant to be IPA). So, while I disagree that they sound "exactly the same", I do

by kagevf 2y ago
I don't know IPA, but Japanese e and Spanish e are also different. Spanish e is like English A in "ace", Japanese e is closer to English "eh".

It's written in arc, a lisp language Paul Graham created. I think you're right about vi, though.

Same here; getting a handle on string interpolation was particularly challenging.

This is a dumb one, but I told it to refer to PowerShell as "StupidShell" and told it not to write it as "StupidShell (Powershell)" but just as "StupidShell". I was just really frustrated with Powershell semant
