Yes. Yet another problem with finalizers is the question of "which thread does actually run the finalizers"? In case of some C libraries, objects must be released exactly by the thread in which they were allocated; this means that

How do you calculate this value of zero percent? Divide all the crime cases of the previous day by the number of humans? And who wrote the headline?

Define a soul, please? The first sentence doesn't make sense without that definition.

I know what "continuity" means in the dictionary, I don't know which aspects of the problem at hand should be continuous and why . Continuity of knowledge (and, if yes, theoretical knowledge, tacit knowledge)? Continuity of

It's simple. Let's say that for some software version 21.37.1 is MIT, but version 21.37.2 is AGPL (which is permitted, as other comments already explained). You can use any data from 21.37.1 under the MIT license, by definition. Y

Taking off my devil's advocate hat for a moment - I disagree here. Many places in the world already redefine "factual information" with their own definitions that are based on e.g. their political or cultural views. Pretendin

If I understand your logic correctly, then impairing the ability to read would be a force against advancing the state of a given civilization and society. The article mentions book bans as a conscious political effort and the prevalence o

What exactly do you mean by "continuity"? The concept of "truth" has already been discussed widely, to the point of the term "post-truth world" being coined. Why learn, why reason from published facts, how are

You introduce a need to convey factual information. Why is such factual information required for living in the contemporary world?

Let's play devil's advocate for a moment. Reading used to be necessary, since most of media was produced in written form, therefore consuming any sort of media mandated the ability to read it. In the video-centric world of 21st

Both of those reasons are pretty much stale nowadays. Contemporary implementation where conditions are standard objects are CCL, ECL, Clasp, ABCL, CLISP, SICL, LispWorks, and Allegro, leaving out pretty much only SBCL (which does this for b

Yep, Screamer is the "enterprise" quality of nondeterministic programming - think efficient and optimized Prolog-esque primitives, but in Lisp. My implementation of AMB is purposefully small (70 LOC, not counting docstrings and te

The idea seems so similar to the classical AMB ambiguous operator introduced by John McCarthy [0]. The implementation seems similar to what I've done a while ago, too, just in Lisp and using Lisp primitives rather than function decorat

TIL. The way I understand it, that's because CL is not required to perform CPS on its code and no CL implementation exists that does it on its own.
