What area are you in? I get the disillusion. If your saving last you a while, it might be worth to work on something for yourself. It doesn't have to be a multi million dollar VC startup. Just something that pays the bills and is susta

The people being offended could just act like an adult. If you want to go out with friend A but don't want friend B to see it for whatever reason (maybe B has a feud with A), then that is a thing between B and A, but not you. I think t

Sorry, but I fail to see how a post like this is even remotely helpful. Yes, I can see the joke/humor in it, but this just pollutes an otherwise helpful thread that most participants use to maybe actually find a new gig.

Nah, as much as I loved the original Redis, they dropped the ball with the license change. To me it looks like they realized way too late. There was a window for them to turn back, but now it looks like they are bleeding some way or another

Pretty sure the next target IS gonna be WhatsApp. Ads inserted at random intervals into groups. Give that whole cycle enough shit iterations and we are back to mailing lists and IRC channels.

I tried the same a while back. I am now pretty sure it's part of the algorithm. If you stay away long enough, it reels you back in to scrolling by showing you some important updates first and before you know it, it draws you back into

Among the plethora of strong suits that Common Lisp brings along, the live coding is hands down the best part of it. There is just no better way to experience programming than that. Sure, the condition system is awesome, CLOS is next to not

So, it mentions to support PS4/5 and Switch but doesn't mention FreeBSD? Both these platforms are FreeBSD based.

Oh, I love that it uses `org-mode` syntax. More apps should offer that.

That is pretty much what jails are in FreeBSD, especially thin jails.

Yeah but in the end when it comes down to it, one would have to specify the exact details, especially for very intricate systems. And the more and more you would abstract and specialize that language for the LLM, you end up going a very lon

Oh that is a fantastic article. I wasn't even aware of Bel. I am currently working on my own Lisp dialect and some things in the spec are lovely. The idea of lit is pretty cool. I'll have to make a branch and toy around with it, i

Oh yes. I haven't found any equivalent yet.

At least Bandcamp has days where 100% of the money goes to the artist if I buy something of them.

Oh definitely. Refactoring in Rust is a lot safer. Sometimes a lot more cumbersome, but definitely safer. Sometimes a refactor introduces a lifetime to a structure and now a loooot of places need changing, but at least it's safer. In C

Not all though. I am currently writing my own Lisp dialect, and as much as I wish and hope I will be able to force case/switch to be exhaustive, I don't see a direct way for that in a dynamically typed version. I do plan to add so

Only noteworthy if it was done using or now features a LLM :D

What makes you think so? The Rust compiler is able to instrument LLVM a lot better and provide it with a lot more info than C++ can. The borrow checker does a lot of the work there to for example keep things on the stack or do LSE or GSE an

Agreed. I would rather be forced to explicitly cover all match cases than accidentally run into problems that are hard to debug.

Not yet. I am still working my way to bootstrapping. I aim to release it some point this year though. I am still figuring out a few bootstrapping things because one of my self-imposed requirements is the bootstrapped in pure CL and no C or

I know. What I just miss in other implementations is the live reflection in the SBCL REPL via Sly/Slime for example. And conditions. When I do CL, I try to code it in a more immutable style and avoid things like self until I get my own

Very cliched, but I am working on my own Lisp dialect. I want a more streamlined syntax and keywords, but keep the "batteries included" idea from CL. So, Scheme/Clojure syntax with a CL live image approach, including conditio

by rootnod3 2y ago
Haven't worked much in Clojure, but I have the same experience with Common Lisp. The malleability and live image workflow is just very pleasant to work with.

What makes you so sure that the placement in the TIOBE index is due to its syntax? That sounds like a weird argument to me. By that logic, Lua, Scala and Elixir have even weirder syntax that people despise.

Let's see how long that one lasts as n standalone service. It's a shame that their product longevity reputation is pretty much non-existent at this point.

SSO into many many websites? Being able to use the account to impersonate that person with their acquaintances or relatives? A hacked google account can be VERY valuable.
