I love reading stuff like this, but I also hate reading stuff like this. On the one hand, it confirms once more how wonderful & useful Common Lisp is; on the other, it depresses me how much our industry as a whole refuses to use such a

IMHO switching to Guile from C is moving in the wrong direction: rather than going from a poor-but-performant systems programming language like C to a pedagogic language like Scheme, it’d be a better idea to move to an rich-and-performant l

TCL is pretty awesome. I hadn’t used it since the late 90s, but in a recent project I ended up integrating it into a Go project we’re building, and it was great . Extraordinarily easy to do, and very powerful. I really need to write a bl

I’ll add my own voice: I’ve been pretty happy with Mattermost (for both business & personal uses). It’s a bit tricky to set up initially, but once it’s set up it Just Works™ — and that’s the most important thing for a piece of software

I don’t think it’s just open-source projects: a great deal of all projects end up rife with some toxicity or another, and normally they do alright in the end. Human beings are a problem: we have emotions, we have feelings, we have needs,

You’re quite right that it’s the server OS with the biggest market share, but I seriously don’t understand why. I get why folks like Ubuntu on their desktops — it’s nice & bleeding edge, with all the latest gee-whiz gadgets and tons of

Oh, no worries there: if it’s your favourite feature, I can pretty much guarantee that GNOME will remove it someday. It’s what, a decade now, and we still don’t have screensavers back, let alone configurable screensavers.

I’m pretty sad to see it go, although to be honest I’ve been using elfeed for awhile now. I wish that the promise of RSS & the open web had been fulfilled.

In America, people tend to watch any of the games, or at least that’s been my experience. I don’t begrudge people their entertainment, but surely it’s polite not to foist it on others? I don’t play Minecraft let’s play videos for hours a

I know that ‘therefore’ is the way it’s normally spelled, but I always thought it was goofy: all the other there-compounds (which are cognate to German’s da-compounds) & where-compounds (cognate to German’s wo-compounds) don’t change th
