If you have to tell your manager this, they are not going to be the sort of manager who will listen.

I have just started reading Marx. I believe one of the core aspects of his analysis of capitalism is exactly what you mentioned here - the economy is a living organism and to truly understand it you have to understand the relationships. I&#

Yup, with everything else being equal, given the choice I will always use the project written in Go.

Ah, so as long as optimize is 2 or less you should get tail call recursion. I found when I tried it (several years ago) the default was debug optimize. I wonder if different installs (or perhaps it's Slime) sets this value to different

SBCL doesn't optimize tail calls by default. If I recall you have to set the optimization level prior to compiling the function using `(declaim (optimize xxx))` - where xxx is something I've forgotten. Perhaps someone can come alo

What kind of setup do you need to have in order to answer questions on StackOverflow? From time to time I think it would be a useful exercise, but it's really hard to find questions that haven't already been answered. I'm thi

Ah, yes of course! I am using Firefox. Thanks for the tip, it's been a little while since I've had to do any work with browsers.

Presumably, you could also do `RegExp("")` to create a zero length regexp. This doesn't seem to match the standard as this site implies it should: "plonk".match(RegExp("")) > Array [ "&q

It looks like this project is using typed arenas a fair bit - https://github.com/SomewhatML/sml-compiler/blob/master/crate... I don't know the details of how this is being used in the project, but i

I believe this is why any arguments comparing finance at a national budget level to finance at a home budget level are incorrect. Money works completely differently at both levels.

I'm on Virgin, you can configure this. Log into your account and there's a whole range of categories you can select/unselect to block. It's only sites involved in pirating that you can't choose and have to use a VPN

Oh she loves sticks. The problem is she eats them, which results in her throwing them up all over my carpet an hour or so later.

So, pretend you are in charge of spending $410 million dollars at Reddit. What would you spend it on? From my amateur perspective I've got, 2 web devs, 1 backend engineer, 3 devops. Pay them very generously and that's $1.2 million

I have seen them abused though. Like, lets take our entire database and throw it on a table on the main window. Sure it's great for the devs who only work with test databases with 100 records, but that main client who has 1000s of reco

Interesting. I'm using Rust on a fairly large project. I guess that takes a hefty chunk of processor time to work with, which causes Emacs to lock up and NeoVim not to..

by weavie 5y ago
How are you finding the performance of LSP? I dropped Emacs for NeoVim because Emacs would frequently lockup for a second or more due to LSP. NeoVim doesn't have this problem. I would love to return to Emacs someday.

Wow. My daughter was born at 25 weeks and spend 4 months and 1 day in NICU, just over 10 years ago. This was in the UK. If my memory serves me correctly (which it may not, my brain was pretty fried throughout that time), we were told that t

Postmodern ( https://quickref.common-lisp.net/postmodern.htm ), a library to interface with Postresql will use the keyword `:null` to represent null, and T and nil to represent boolean true and false.
