The fact that fexprs are not easily accessible in the major lisp and scheme dialects is quite unfortunate because it makes it difficult to express certain process structures. Like with all advanced language features they would have to be us

It was just an example of a game that people sink lots of hours into, and yes, way too much gold, to the point where you are swimming in it even if you aren't trying to grind it. There is also the issue that you can break the crafting

"Skyrim dollars" was a concept that my friend group roundly pooh-poohed when I brought it up in a late night rant some time around 2012. Over time it has become something of a meme, but this winter break we were all sitting around

This is a useful practical introduction to the new context menu functionality. Since power users rarely use the mouse or right click at all, I have found that context menus are a great space for making custom functionality accessible to sem

Sigh. I deeply appreciate the work that Michał does. This post signals a bunch of work that I will have to do in the future to mitigate the eternal churn in the python ecosystem. > all the breakage is dumped on distribution packagers. Th

Criteria for being classified as human are diverse, most of the criteria we use for classifying living people (some of which are actively being used to commit genocide) cannot be applied to our ancestral lineages, we give our genes too much

I have the same issue. I'm pretty sure you can dig through my post history and find a blanket statement of me swearing off python for all new projects. Here are some ... reflections. In short a package manager + git is the easiest way

I look forward to seeing more methods sections which have a step that involves launching things into orbit. I bet that at some point the exact type of rocket that is used will cause variable results due to differences in the vibrational mod

One piece of analysis I'd be interested to see is whether the transition probabilities among the 4 categories along with the implied 5th category of "not homeless" have changed. This is harder to get good data for because it

Yeah, the physical layout is the primary concern. I should have noted that since there is ambiguity because n and m also happen to be next to each other in the alphabet.

Word of warning from hard experience: rn is a really dangerous thing to name a function because it is one char away from rm.

I actually think forcing someone acting in bad faith (to use the sibling response's nomenclature) to accuse scientists out loud and directly in such a way is the right approach here. The reason for this is that it forces the bad faith

Said another way, don't get nerd snipped by people who are trying to weaponize your professional scepticism for ulterior motives. This means that most of the time when dealing with adversaries you have to go against your usual scientif

Huh. I had not though of the rekeying issues before. Glaringly obvious in hindsight. The question of "how can you ensure that this system will not be rekeyed to respond to someone else" is a great one. The best answer is "the

I would love to be able to use chicken on a regular basis, but unfortunately it is an enormous pain to get it install on a system at the same time as mono because the mono c# compiler and the chicken scheme compiler have the same name [0].

This is not accurate. The SBCL runtime and GC are written in C because there are better tools in C for debugging the kinds of errors that one encounters at that level of the system. I can't find the note in the SBCL source repo but if
