with-open-file is just a convenience macro around the underlying functionality which is provided by unwind-protect which is pretty much identical to try/finally in Java. The ease of writing macros such as with-open-file means that most

Are there? 2^32 is roughly 4 billion. There are almost twice as many people on earth.

I just don't see your reasoning. By what mechanism that is not provided today would the banks stop doing what they do today? What mechanism would control the exposure that banks take on?

Regardless of whether the banks deserved to fall after 2008 or not, I'm struggling to of any way in which things would have been different with cryptocurrencies. Do you seriously think that one wouldn't be able to construct fraudu

Address randomisation should give you the same level of deniability. The only part of your address that doesn't change is the same part that is unchanged in the IPv4 case. Unless you have CGNAT of course, but I don't think anyone

I did the same when I had to travel to Moscow the day after I had lost my glasses in the ocean from a boat. Going into a shop in Stockholm I was told it'd take 2 weeks, which obviously wasn't acceptable. When I arrived in Moscow,

The fact that the sites do not provide you with the ability to continue the previous model shows that your personal data isn't that valuable in isolation to begin with. The previous business model worked because your consentual sharing

Not the original poster, but although a lot of Emacs users don't use HTML email, it's certainly possible to do it. I wrote an Emacs package that allowed me to render my emails in that way Outlook does it (comments on top, everythi

That's true, but when you use the key a lot it often happens that you press it and then release it. It's very annoying Also, the hardcoding of super-o is even more annoying. I also noticed that in recent versions of Gnome, super-s

Wasn't the first version of J2EE great? You configured the components by writing Java classes that implemented certain interfaces and dropping the .class files in a special directory. With that in mind, the XML files that came later wa

I've been playing with GNU COBOL for fun, and while it implements a lot of the language, it lacks integration with external systems. For example, you'd expect there to be a simple way to open a network connection. I mean, doing RE

I regularly (well, every few years) set up Hercules with MVS just to get a feel for it, and try to learn a little bit more about JCL and the likes. Usually this lasts a few hours before I get frustrated and stop. The problem I have is that

The BASIC implementation on the CDC 6700 behaves almost identical to the much later BASIC implementations on the 8-bit micros such as the Commodore 64. I'm assuming that this implementation was used for real work, as I doubt the CDC 67

Emacs uses Control and Meta. That makes Super a very useful key to map custom functions to.

As someone who heavily uses the super key in Emacs, I disagree with you. It's getting pretty difficult to turn off that feature (is it even possible in recent versions of Gnome?). Also, the Super-o shortcut to lock screen rotation (on

The GDPR is an EU law, and as such it is unlikely that anyone prosecuting under it will pay any attention at all to what the US definition of free speech is.

Yes. Pretty much exactly the same way a web page can be taken down by the web server being shut down.

I didn't find this document to be easier to understand than any other guide I've seen. I'd say the introduction to calculus in Susskind's The Theoretical Minimum to be vastly better. Also, don't miss The Essence Of

When I saw the first compliant he had, about variable shadowing, I was asking myself: This guy works for Allegro and he doesn't understand shadowing? It's used all the time in Lisp. Then I realised it's a different Allegro. A

First let me tell you that I agree with you, and I just have a small comment. The type bounds in Java are there for a reason. Kotlin's syntax is simpler but it it unable to express all the types that the Java model can. I have found my

Knowing what I know about how corporations are run (which is nothing more than anyone else who has worked for multiple large organisations) the ISPs are dragging their feet on IPv6 because they can get away with it and it saves them money.

It does, but it's disabled by default. Note that this option is about using IPv6 internally between containers. Even with it off, any exposed port will be both IPv4 and IPv6.

Also, when clicking on their "web client", you immediately get a cab file (windows installer file) download request. I'm on Linux. What am I supposed to do with that file? It's like the SfB team still lives in the "

It's random, but the probability distribution is not uniform. Just because you have a random process choosing between outcomes A and B doesn't mean that there is a 50/50 chance you'll see either outcome. For a related in

I specifically talked about the difference between Windows 7 and 8, because that's one case where I don't think anyone could disagree. I personally feel that 7 is still a better system than 10, but I acknowledge that other people
