To be entirely fair, they did announce it well in advance and made it really easy to download your entire archive AND they made your music available in your YouTube Music account. I have a bunch of music I bought from Google Play Music and

As much as I like Wayland (even if I'm currently on X11 because I'm using LXQt with the awesome window manager), not having Orca working is a massive issue. Accessibility only really works when we focus on it from the start and it

Yeah, that is the strange thing, but binding it to a gensymmed variable would make it interchangeable with an inline function. That said, maybe ` fg ` is a macro which does some rewriting of its body, that could explain the decision.
904.
by tmtvl 2y ago
To answer in reverse order: it doesn't need a gensym because it isn't introducing a new variable. The only variable being used is ` dir `, and that is passed in. As for why it's a macro rather than a function, I don't kn

To quote from an article* cited by TFA: > The Internet Archive has long offered a system called the Open Library, where users can “check out” digital scans of physical books. The library was based on a principle called controlled digita

As much as I appreciate everything the Internet Archive does for humanity in general and myself in particular, I can see why some may take umbrage at 'allowing an unlimited number of people to access the same copies of E-books'. W

BSD Make exists. Also, are you saying that no one is developing software under a contract where they aren't allowed to install software on the target machine? I'm also unsure whether GNU Make works on embedded systems.

It's way better to iterate and improve existing systems. But you need to do so in the context of those projects: in Linux when a maintainer wants to make a change to a system they are maintaining, they have to provide patches for other

Related: the SeriousShanns fork: https://kabeech.github.io/serious-shanns/ If nothing else, Serious adds the lambda symbol, which is a useful shorthand to use with Emacs' pretty symbols mode.

IBM Plex (which I'm currently using) also has the double-story (or Roman) 'a', I like how distinct it is from 'o' and 'q' compared to single-story (or Italic) 'a'.

Systemd has had timers since 2012: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/36697dc0199e25f09b... So if timers were gonna replace cron I'd imagine it'd have happened already. That said, those Canon

By all means, be the change you want to see. All I know about OpenRC is that it doesn't support user services the same way systemd does. I know even less about runit or s6, so I'd love to hear more from people who use them in thei

See also https://github.com/attractivechaos/plb2 ...where I provided the SBCL solutions, so there's probably still a significant chunk of performance to be squeezed out.

The problem with that is that there are spaces between map, -, and '(1 2 3). The only way to get spaces into a name is by using vertical bars: (defvar |do i 10| 1.100)

So I think the nuance you're trying highlight is that there are things players can buy in games that they simply wouldn't have gotten if it weren't for in-game purchases (to use your example, if players couldn't pay to r

Isn't that more than the EU defence budget from 2022? Not gonna lie, I'm kinda a little scared now. I realise that there's less than a 1 in 1 billion chance Apple is gonna set up its own military and attack the EU, but still.

The argument is that because Ireland needs to recover money from Apple, Apple is going to have to pay that money, hence Apple is getting punished.

I mean, you're right in that LTT could upload the video to Vimeo, DailyMotion, Odysee, PeerTube, NicoVideo, and so on... but it's still got some antitrust feels.

That's why I moved from Scheme to Common Lisp, it's nice being able to do... (defstruct Task (future :type Future) (task-sender :type Sender)) And have SBCL warn me when I try to jam the wrong type in.
