I'm pretty sure the Med can actually be a bit reddish dark like wine sometimes.

There's nothing stopping io_uring from gaining more non-IO operations, and indeed that appears to be the plan.

That's what IOSQE_BUFFER_SELECT is for.

OFTC as far as I know is much stricter about on-topicness and such than freenode was, and Libera is a fair bit less strict than freenode was, so merging the old freenode with oftc would've required drastically changing oftc, which I&#x

I wonder what voting does, because right now posts seem to be in order of newest first, regardless of votes.

The top post being a link to pissnet, the tower of piss, is kinda funny.

It doesn't mean anything. However, someone has suggested the recursive backronym "SICL Implements Common Lisp".

> So who did own the infrastructure, and where did they stand on all of this? All hardware was owned by various organizations acting as "sponsors". But at this point most of it might have been replaced by servers owned by Lee.

by lonjil 5y ago
Those questions came after people started leaving, and after Lee made changes to freenode policy removing mentions of racism and such.

So it seems. It's actually lokedhs. I must have mixed up "loke" with "luke".

by lonjil 5y ago
Hm, Luke has also been working on a GTK backend for McCLIM. I wonder if he gave up on that, or just working on it in the background, or simply put it on pause for a bit?

Freenode has rules about these things. Topical channels stay owned for 60 days after they stop being used. Redirecting people to another network has also never been a problem on Freenode. Freenode's new owner claims that redirecting pe

Well, the servers are owned by the sponsors, and the sponsors have informal agreements with the staffers who are no longer with Freenode. Freenode Ltd (which apparently will cease to exist in a few weeks due to Lee's lack of taking car

Freenode doesn't have any sort of non-profit. Freenode Ltd was created much later and only for organising Freenode Live. Libera.Chat does have a non-profit, however, according to the announcement.

The servers are owned by various sponsors. The domain name was apparently owned by Freenode Ltd? Other than that there isn't really anything to own.

The problem with JBIG2 and why it mistranscribed is that it worked by average error, instead of something sensible like maximum error.

ZigBee sits in the same frequency band as WiFi, so it does actually clutter it. Edit: oh and it has already taken off as much as it will, the ZigBee alliance is working on a an ipv6 based standard.

As far as I know the fees don't even pay for most of that stuff. Committee members have to pay to be part of a committee, usually paid by their employer. The time actually spent developing the standard is on the members' employers

But other standards organisations do just fine providing free standards, including fairly large and complex standards, so it doesn't seem particularly necessary at all. Hell, some ISO standards are freely available, presumably becaus

I know a whole bunch of people who are on an ISO committee, and not a single one of them is happy that their hard work will be locked behind a paywall.

Access to hardware acceleration has absolutely nothing to do with the standards of the formats themselves. Clearly, since open implementations exist, open source developers know how the formats function. The problem with HW accel is that ha

The people who make the standards do not get any money from you buying a copy of the standard.

It is essentially an exception system, but more general and flexible. When you "throw an error", so to speak, rather than unwinding the stack until it finds a matching handler and then executing that, it looks at a list of handler

Maybe that would be feasible with lighter weight green threads. I do this with threads but my system is just a chat bot, so it doesn't really ever turn into a problem.

There is no port team. Tarn is doing all of the programming for the Steam release, and the people Kitfox hired are artists.

If you want it to actually run in the browser then ClojureScript is probably what you want.

If your only qualifier for something being a dialect of "Lisp" is having lots of parentheses, and a bunch of stuff that basically every high level language has these days, like first class functions and garbage collection, sure. I

It's not just about having eval(), it's also about having tooling to exploit its capabilities. I'm currently learning OpenGL with CL, and if I make a change to my main loop, I just hit a few buttons to recompile it without in
