There is a bonus chapter on his website: http://alvyray.com/DigitalLight/default.htm I am still reading this but love it so far. I love seeing first-hand historical accounts for computing

I don't live in the area but I like the idea that the codes are updated to match the population. I hope there are some provisions for "access to sunlight" as the buildings grow -- something like Japan's Nisshoken policie

I learned recently from Alvy Ray Smith's _A Biography of the Pixel_ that Kotelnikov[1] was first to discover sampling theorem before Shannon independently did. And Shannon made it accessible to the West. It's pretty fascinating hi

I saw google, I saw Rust, and I was betting it was you. I lost my bet but still happy to see it!

Congrats! And thank you! This changed my lisp experience and my wishlist for interacting with non-s-exp code when I found it years ago.

I'm definitely in that camp. 4Dwm was nice back in the day. I never got the appeal of CDE back then. That said, after looking at old screenshots, I definitely prefer anti-aliased fonts.

If hands-on-keyboard-and-mouse (HOKAM?) is important, I would suggest looking at the digital content creation apps like Blender and Maya context menus and pie menus for inspiration. I know with my use of Emacs, I'd probably use or conf

Was guix considered at all? If so, what were the negatives? I'm personally getting more enjoyment learning this style of environment and OS management with a more established language for the configuration.

From the American perspective, they still have too much to spend on corrupting politics and justice hiding behind "spending money is free speech." There needs to be a 90% tax bracket and we should subject capital gains to normal t

I've had a hard time believing that this isn't government standard practice for an SSaS since Hushmail spoke about it in 2007. https://www.wired.com/2007/11/encrypted-e-mai/#:~:text=Hushm... .

As a beginner, these are questions that lead to a big rabbit hole for me. 1. Yes, it seems Projective Geometric Algebra is new enough that the terminology and symbols are still being debated. 2. Yes, people who "get" it seem prett

I agree. But that comes at a cost of weight and bulk. The Pangolin is a 4700U. There should be a great 4700U option that competes with top-of-the-line Mac and Dell Intel SKUs.

I agree it's not easy many times because of all the different modalities of USB-C. And, as a shopper, it feels like many in the industry is preying upon that ambiguity. "alternate mode" support and "display port" su

As a recent owner of a Lenovo Flex 5 14 with AMD4700U, I recommend verifying that USB-C alternate mode / Display Port capability is available. On the Flex 5 it isn't and it's quite annoying that docking for multiple displays,

Does CA have split between capital gains and other income? Is it taxed at a lower rate? If so the rich will continue laughing all the way to the bank.

The last time I remember these prices was 1998-ish. A quick online inflation checker tells me this is would be like $0.63 USD / gallon then.

Are they still using YUI? I left because it felt like updates never happened; they just lost or reset my cost basis for my three years worth of investment tracking at the time; and it was now owned by a company hostile to tax-payer convenie

The first book, commonly referred to by its acronym PAIP, is available online for free from the author: https://github.com/norvig/paip-lisp I think there is ongoing effort to update it for better accessibility.

Are you able to speak a little to the Lisp engineering without giving away "secret sauce"? Is Lisp serving the web pages too or only generating the star maps? Did you use CLOS heavily? MOP? FFI? Anything else "exotic" th

I don't know how justified this feeling is by fact, but I feel like this is being done to further compete with cash back rewards. The more card holders want in cash back percentage perks, the more the credit card companies will want to

Do you use something like `counsel` or `helm`? I personally use `helm` and have found `helm-apropos` to be a much better experience mainly due to fuzzy matching. I'm sure there is a counsel analog. Out of curiosity, do you happen to ha

Has this story from 2014 ever been discredited [1] ? If not, I don't see how any supply chain is safe from G8 powers [1] https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/05/photos-of-an-nsa...
