Building from source. I have a bunch of patches in the lread.c to make Clojure-style #f(+ % 1) lambdas work, so I don't have much of a choice. Recently (this year), the reader was rewritten to be non-recursive, so I had to modify my pa

I hated ^S until I disabled it with `stty -ixon`. The thing is, this key is actually bound to a really useful command: the reverse of ^R, ie. search forward in history. It's very useful when you assemble a new command from a few separa

You're speaking as if rationality was something most people aspire to. Something acknowledged as worth the effort. However, it doesn't look like this view is shared by many people. Not to mention, people are perfectly capable of b

Right, indeed, I'm not a psychologist by any means, but I also think that removing the problem altogether without solving it could be damaging too, maybe in other, more subtle ways later on. To be honest, I don't think there'

Stockholm syndrome? There's really no excusable "cause" for bullying; it's like saying you don't regret getting raped because, at the time, your sexual drive was lagging behind your peers. That's a rationalizat

There are group activities you can take part in that have nothing to do with school. Actually, you should take part in it anyway, but with private tutors you have much more time to spend with a peer group of your choice. Not sure how scouti

I did. Its use of intentionally obscure language that makes APL seem readable and consistent in comparison just because "only smart folks should be able to code in this" is something I simply can't accept. And I love obscur

It worked! Not sure why or what's the difference, but Pharo downloaded from here: https://pharo.org/download still doesn't work - it opens a window but never draws anything in it, it's stuck showing whatever

I'd love to give it a try. However, Pharo still doesn't run out of the box on my Fedora system. It used to work, up to Pharo ~5-6, then stopped working altogether. There's little documentation around installation and even les

I would have never soloed BG2 with a Sorcerer if not for a very detailed and funny guide on GameFAQs. I didn't quite believe it's possible, but decided to check it out. Oh boy, one-shotting (almost, ie. in a single turn) dragons a

Good. I bought Darter Pro recently and had to - business as usual under Linux - compile this and tweak that. Via things like their keyboard configurator[1] I was exposed to Rust's GTK bindings. It wasn't pretty: the mismatch betwe

What's wrong with a small ▾ icon you could tap to bring up the menu? Then tap again to hide it? Crucially, without changing what content's scrollTop with either action? I'd expect (haha) power-users to be capable of tapping o

It would be ok if the header was kept just above the viewport edge and kept there (ie. slowly getting into view) when scrolling up. You still have near-instant access to the header, but it doesn't jump out at you at the tiniest hint

Nope, not at all. Unless it's about my submissions. In that case, yes, 100%! Joking aside, the only way to get to the front page is either via pure luck, and lots of it, or on a bring-your-own-upvoters basis. I think it's normal w
