   I agree! It's much harder to play in person due to the pandemic though. There's a bonus though: each new physical deck and booster pack that you buy is also redeemable online, so you can buy a deck or two, redeem their codes in th

   Just so you know, Pokemon Trading Card Game is still alive and it has a pretty good online client[0] (that runs well on Wine). Poke me if you'd like a game someday. [0] https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-tcg/p

   That would prevent indenting the messages to the length of the nickname. Irssi performs manual linewrapping to achieve that.

   Install irssi! Newlines magically appear on their own, and it's really nice to not need to scroll left/right to read long messages.

    Anectodal data point: no, it hasn't. I still use it in every project that we make at my dayjob, including system documentation, implementation proposals, communicating design choices to other people.

    Yes, 0:00-29:23. The point of the talk is not laid out during a single moment; it's more like a story that unfolds over time, allowing the reader to understand its implications bit by bit.

    Thanks for the correction - there seems to be no date on the article, and the HN title needs a [2004] in that case.

    Nitpick: as a CL programmer, I shuddered when I noticed that they use SLIME from 2014. It can work, sure, but it's ancient by now!

    No, it is not yet back. Quote from the article: "the company announces that it will reinstate Parler in the App Store as soon as it releases an updated version."

    > (...) that has the nasty problem that 3 does not have a type (...) How is that possible? At least in Common Lisp, all literal objects have types, and the same is true of C from what I have just checked.

    I've had the book reviewed and edited by several people (mentioned in the front matter), and you're not the first person to complain about the long-winded style. This likely means that we collectively screwed up with regard to the

    I don't understand the first sentence; do you mean writing it several times in succession and completely discarding all results but the last one, or more like an iterative process that actually looks back at what was written previously

    I'm glad to know that my condition system book is of some really concrete use; an independent implementation of CL-style conditions and control flow in Clojure is probably the best example I can imagine for that. Congratulations, and t

    The title is slightly misleading, and so is Linus' response here. This RFC never claimed to be in shape to be immediately mergeable into the mainline kernel as-is. Miguel (the author of the patch) has replied to this mail (and in other
