The distinction seems kind of moot when you’re talking about Genera. The concept of a seperate app seems trivial/non-existant when everything is running in the same address space.

It seems like there’s a lot of things you should never do. Why don’t they just remove said things and make everyone’s life simpler?

Maybe we should just test things on people instead?

I've tried OpenGenera through the Linux emulator, and tried opening up Zmacs a couple of times. Seems pretty much like Emacs, but instead of being able to seamlessly introspect Elisp, you can do it with the entire OS. Pretty cool to be

The vast majority of them are losers, it is true. Providing dubious value to their investors and taking huge slices for themselves through greedy and lazy compensation schemes. Most don't make good decisions and aren't staffed by

Maybe if you've used Zmacs it's not the greatest, but I think it's very good. Easy to use debugger, macro stepper, and a package visualizer. For the record, I've only used Emacs when programming Racket professionally, bu

I mean certainly it happens but the vast vast majority of hedge funds just deal in the trading of vanilla equities, options, bonds, and futures. And there’s less/not much to sue about for those kind of things. There are some who deal i

Only activists would probably go to the trouble of hiring these kinds of people. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that Billions is in anyway representive of the industry. From personal experience, hedge funds are a lot more boring and a l

The one thing that’s nice about CL is the system images. Racket doesn’t have a similar concept: you can’t REPL into running systems and update the image on the fly (as far as I know). Nor can you save the corrent state of the program to dis

The only thing that has stopped me from using racket more are the performance issues. Hopefully Racket-CS will make racket competitive performance-wise with CL. In regards to expressiveness, Racket is definately the most powerful lisp on th

I don’t code after work, instead I just focus my efforts on coding for the firm. That way I can get rewarded for it.

Is it fair to ask at this point if Elon Musk is going crazy? His decisions of late seem unwise at best, irrational at worst. Maybe he should just concentrate on producing Model 3's and then the Model Y? Or what would be really cool w

Why do people care about Linux gaming? Is it that hard to just boot into Windows? Or even, a VM with a pass-through graphics card? It's hard enough to make games as it is. It seems unfair to complain about something when it's clea

I don't think the real problem is about Windows tools not working on Linux, but about Linux tools not working on Unix. Stuff like Systemd and Wayland don't even care about anything besides Linux.

The downside of equities is not being sued as a shareholder of a crooked company, it's the risk and long-term exposure you bear from your share of ownership and the future cash flow of the company.

While sounding cool, this kind of project seems to exist solely to generate a paper, not because anyone actually has this problem.

I’m not a sysadmin, but I’m remarkably bad at remembering boring things I don’t care about. I generally forget things like how to create systemd units or sshd config options a couple minutes after completing the task. I don’t think it’s a b

But the DVDs are once a year.. I find it hard to believe that if you cared about the most up-to-date LaTeX distribution you would update once a year via DVD.

If both are statistically significant factors, I see nothing wrong with talking about both.

I’m sorry, I should have expanded more upon my somewhat flippant opening comment. In the future I’ll try harder to elucidate my thoughts coherently and completetly.

I just hope that media created in the future won’t deliberately avoid saliant subjects because of the potential short-term (negative) impact on a certain subset of society. It would be unfortunate if writers and directors were scared away f

And Camus' The Stranger led to an increase in shooting Arabs on the beach because of a sunny day. If we judge media by what perceived affect it will have on society, we are in dire straights indeed.

It may not be politically correct, but it's true. Genetic factors have a huge influence in regards to addiction, metabolism, diseases, etc.

Why don't you just use your package manager? That seems a lot simpler... and a lot less environmentally wasteful.

I’m not sure this is a problem. Of course a company is going to retaliate against employees that are protesting instead of working. What did the protestors honestly expect? That they would get promoted? If I ran a company, and my employees

Well, why would you keep any money over 1k in a savings/checking account? Savings accounts nowadays don’t serve any purpose (you definately shouldn’t be saving money in them) besides being FDIC insured. Checking accounts should only ho

Could you give examples besides taxi drivers (who are a terrible example of full-time work)?
