What about Silvio Berlusconi? The Italian “premier”, multiple times prime minister, founder of multiple parties and leader of the right. Owner of Milan FC and involved in constructing large parts of Milan city. Multiple people in his partie

Removing DRM from ebooks is the standard. Otherwise I cannot read them in my Kobo because I didn't (and I will never) register my reader into Adobe, and neither I've created a Kobo account (I bypassed the initial setup).

Yeah I felt that Quicklisp doesn't have the same features as package managers in other languages, and https is one of them. Also it's run by a single person which doesn't have too much time to constantly update the libraries.

One of the best P2P software at the time. It was so simple and effective and allowed people to call real phones with Skype credit. A genius product ripped my Microsoft. Have you used Microsoft Teams recently? Bad UI, hard to configure exter

I'm intrigued by Symbolics Genera too. It would have been interesting seeing further development of Lisp OS, especially when they would have had internet connection. Rewriting part of your OS and see the changes in real time? Maybe web

I thought about a similar problems because I always find really interesting blogs (mostly on HN) but I don't have a real place to store them, so they get lost when I close the tab. I can save them in the favorites but I'm not used

I wish there's something like Obsidian with the same support for org-mode that Emacs has. A few pros: - Organize notes in org-mode is much quicker - The best support for lists (and I do list most of the times) - Tags and properties - P

That’s the marketing that they do, one gadget to replace them all. In reality I’ve an analog watch at my wrist, I’ve a powerful flashlight (mostly using my smartphone tho), I’ve a dslr camera and TV. One friend of mine his into boats and ha

4/5 kobos? What did happen to them? I suspect the screen broke after a fall. Happened to the one of my sister. In that case try to use an harder cover because 4/5 are a lot

I think ereaders are cheap if you used them heavily. I read on it every day and I take it with me wherever I go so I can read instead of scrolling of my phone. I’ve hundreds of books on my Kobo and is really the best tech gadget I have, and

Thanks I've taken notes on the improvements. Also I've checked your website pages on Lisp and I'm discovering so much staff :)

> false premises, false conclusions, and bad good ideas in-between. False constructive criticism (since you've spammed your stuff 5 times), and bad (hostile) behavior which, I found, it's way more common in the Common Lisp comm

Author here: You're right! I did that in the article. First I showed how to use the modern libraries, then wrote a quick custom library that compressed my original app in 29 LOC[0]. [0]: It came out shorter than the guestbook demo in P

Have you checked out webtorrents? You can download movies from the P2P network sequentially and so watch them while they download.

Unfortunately, my uni was free admission, so the first year helps filter out unprepared students. I might suffer from a bias, but what I did was study to pass the test. I don't expect everyone to pass every exam as I don't expect

In a European public university ~10 years ago, I did a class in discrete mathematics in my first year as a student and it was hard. The professor was going fast, not following any book or notes but writing everything on the blackboard. Duri

Nespresso machines hide the coffee inside plastic capsules. Why? 1. You don’t know what coffee you get, you cannot really vary the coffee anymore and maybe try a different local one (where I live we have local coffee). Then you don’t even k
