Both of which are besides viability. It's just a usable system that gets you an idea of how an OS works when it's Lisp all the way down. It didn't invent this idea, it's just a modern example of it.

Reduce is a Lisp library that's still in active use from 1968, making it older than C itself. We can point to GNU Emacs as an ancient and venerable self-contained Lisp tortoise with more wrinkles than are finitely enumerable, and is in

> Only C has, yet, given use that level of serviceability. On the contrary, Lisp outshines C to a large degree here. Success has nothing to do with technical merit (if such a thing even exists), it's not a rational game.

It depends on what you mean by send. Wayland doesn't have network transparency, there's a bit of a song and dance you have to do to get that working properly. I'm not sure the state of that or of Wayland compositors in genera

That's how the overwhelming majority of all game projects go, custom engine or not.

The problem is that this is completely false. LLMs are actually deterministic. There are a lot more input parameters than just the prompt. If you're using a piece of shit corpo cloud model, you're locked out of managing your input

I'm someone who has used Prolog in the past, but this is the first time I'm learning of Futamura's work[1]. I knew it was great for building executable grammars, but I hadn't ever really tried to do so thus have absolute

As a pragmatic type, I find it endlessly disappointing how many other pragmatic types have absolutely zero familiarity or grounding in even surface level theoretic stuff that academic types are doing.

It's a confluence of various factors. Explosive population growth, for example. The modern economy (of which fiat currency plays a pivotal role) relies on that of course, as the lending system is a bet on future growth. If that fails t

Getting off to images of child abuse (simulated or not) is a deep violation of social mores. This itself does indeed constitute a type of crime, and the victim is taken to be society itself. If it seems unjust, it's because you have a

I'm not sure I agree with this specific reasoning. Consider this, any given image viewer can display CSAM. Is it a CSAM viewer? Do you have a moral responsibility to make it refuse to display CSAM? We can extend it to anything from gra

Many territories prosecute for simulated sexual abuse of children, including drawn images. Most consider it obscene beyond simulated murder.
