In CL, you can declare that you need modulo arithmetic, which will give you branchless arithmetic operations. In Erlang, you don't; the language was never made for that sort of speed.

As a person working on big C++ telco codebases for a living, I'm fully aware that C++ is solving real problems and that -Weverything makes it somewhat possible to work with the language. At the same time, I'm appalled by the negat

Lisp and Erlang. The latter doesn't have a numeric tower but has automatic bigint conversion and handling. The former is eager to error upon signed/unsigned type violations once you specify them.

Looking at horror stories like this along with their "solutions" that are done by slapping more standard functions on top of the already existing piles, I'm glad that I do my personal programming in languages which 1) have me

Gosh, I got kind of shocked when I saw myself in there (my own comment is the second one in the original thread). I already forgot about the whole affair. Also, [2019]

It takes one scandal stemming from a hostile link change to take this sort of reputation down. Since all of that information is public, to paraphrase Linus, with enough eyes, all HN link changes are shallow.

And severely limited at the same time, to the point where people, IMO understandably, prefer to use 100% free alternatives rather than write about the subpar experience available with "community licenses". Free versions of both LW

It all boils down to the fact that dang, the admin who does the edits, has a history of doing these changes quite rarely and within reason, plus he always leaves comments when he does so. That approach awarded him some general trust, includ

No, you don't even need the condition system to break out of nested iteration. (loop named loop-a do (loop named loop-b do (loop named loop-c do (return-from loop-b))) (return-from loop-a 42)) Und

Thanks for the in-depth reply - that's exactly the sort of fuel for the mind that I hoped for when posing my questions.

Is this something that could be argued about other sorts of crime as well? In particular, in the ongoing fight against encryption that has been widely commented on HN multiple times, can (or should) one (safely) argue that e.g. the optimal

Choosing not to associate with a person or a group of people is one of the most basic human rights, not dehumanization. A private Fediverse instance has the full right to invite, or uninvite, any sort of people or content; you're just

Sure, but these aren't my words, and you told me to stop complaining about something that I didn't complain about. I can't teach you basic rules of attributing speech, either. In particular, the original submission has a co

I think it revolves around just one fundamental question that's become obvious since the start of the industrial revolution: why have workers if you can get work done without them? You can answer this question rather quickly; very ofte

In this particular example, there's little to none: truth be told, I don't like WITH-FOO as a good example of why macros are fun. That's because WITH-FOO macros are commonly implemented/implementable as simple wrappers a

On the contrary, I found starting with a short personal story to be a good way to catch my attention since I could somewhat relate to the author while also getting some context about the actual piece. And, uh, I don't see the author as
