Actually, you're only increasing the length of the number by a factor of 2, since 2^400 is a 400-bit number. If true, it's still leaps and bounds ahead of anything we have today, though.

I usually just open up a *scratch* buffer in emacs, and use ctrl-J to evaluate expressions. I think my most common use case is for math (e.g. adding values that I extracted via some emacs keyboard macros).

If your main goal is adblocking (or, generally, filtering requests by domain name), the adblock software package has a config option to "force local DNS". Otherwise you'll need to set up a firewall rule to redirect all DNS re

Aha, thanks. I had found some docs that indicated that clisp supports TCO, but it wasn't clear to me how to make that work. (I am nominally familiar with Common Lisp, but have never used it in a serious capacity.)

Incidentally, one of the biggest advantages of using an OpenWRT router over a PiHole is the ability to respond to all DNS requests (sent via udp port 53), as opposed to just those that use the DHCP-discovered resolver, which allows you to

True! Although, a more nuanced point: it may not be required by the Common Lisp spec, but that's not to say that it's not done. clisp: [1]> (defun f (n) (if (<= n 0) n (f (- n 1)))) F [2]> (f 1000000)

Sort of. You'd be able to define double fprime(double (*f)(double), double x); but you wouldn't be able to define double (*deriv(double (*f)(double)))(double); as C does not support closures. Meanwhile, in C++ yo

Python does not do tail recursion, though! def f(n): if n <= 0: return n return f(n-1) f(1000) will blow out your stack. Meanwhile, scheme@(guile-user)> (define (f n) (if (<= n 0) n (f (- n 1)

Trademark infringement is a big one, and yes, it can be applied even if the trademark isn't registered. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/15/1125#a 1125(a)(1) is pretty unambiguous in this context.

You can already define __or__ to do whatever you want! This is already special-cased in the standard library for, say, set union (where admittedly the concept is more similar to bitwise or).
