What a journey! My vet recommended more puzzle feeders and moving to get rid of the free dry food (I do wet food in morning/night), both to control how much the cat eats and to give them something to do. After all, in the wild food is

This should have a (2006) tag (not that the basics have changed really, but compilers keep getting better at least).

It is a fun book to get started with (Common) Lisp! We need more fun, but instructive, books like this.

Beautiful, and in Common Lisp just makes it that much better for me. Thanks for sharing!

Yes, thanks for linking to the videos, the author has done a great job showing people how to use both CEPL and OpenGL/Lisp. It has been a while since I've used it, but really felt like such a natural fit for graphics programming.

If I'm remembering CLOS, that is correct. In general CL lets you do what you want, but convention would be to use accessor methods rather than the raw slot-value function that will work for any class and slot. See, for instance, https

Sorry if that came off as "hate" or being dismissive, did not intend it that way! Just genuinely curious given the difficulties I'm seeing on the distro side around Rust packaging, at least for Guix that goes from source in a

I wonder if distros (on the maintainers side) really want to move to more Rust in such core pieces? But maybe, as the readme here suggests, this is more for non-Linux platforms? I know in GNU Guix the more Rust is used has lead to struggles

For those looking for more, if you haven't already read Steven Levy's Hackers, it is a great book about the start of the computer revolution. And I'd say Whole Earth (and other events before then) had clear influences on the

I've been eyeing the Djinn for a while, a "while" that corresponds with the crazy chip shortage. So I've put it on the back burner, but anyone build this or another keyboard recently? How's it look for the parts the

It is a GNU project. The maintainers are listed on the website and of course all code, commits, etc. are publicly available.

Thank you! It is fun, try it as a package manager, in a VM, or as a distro. Lots to learn I found, which is fun for me.

I haven't done that setup but I know various people that use Guix (on the IRC channel) have an encrypted setup. I'm not sure their exact file structure, but it in general full disk encryption is supported; any issues should be bug

We can definitely improve the error reporting (e.g. just the other day there was a patch to better improve error reporting in a system configuration to go directly to the configuration line rather than the system that uses that code). Submi

Not sure what kind of development environments you mean, but one of the great features of Guix (and Nix I think) is to easily provide isolated environments. This can help you control dependencies and other things separately from the main OS

To add to what others have said, a benefit of this type of distro is you can always go to a specific point in time of your configuration and packages. So if it has worked, it will continue to work, while you can upgrade or change other part

I haven't used Guix on my laptop much other than as a package manager or to work on patches when I'm not at my desktop. So I can't say much, but Guix does tend to be heavier on storage IO needs. You can always use substitutes

Short answer: I prefer Lisp (Guile Scheme in this case) to anything else really. Maybe the Nix language is fine, but I can already read Guix code and prefer working in the land of parens.
