  7. Ask HN: What functions/forms should all lisps have?

    I'm writing a lisp and I'm curious if there's a consensus on what constitutes a "minimum lisp". I'm not planning to implement the full extent of Common Lisp, and probably not even Scheme, but I'd like mine to have all…

  8. Ask HN: Has anyone heard about steroids being used to treat Covid-19?

    I heard an anecdote from someone that steroids have been used to successfully mitigate COVID-19 symptoms. I have no idea how credible it is, so I tried to do some research, but I didn't really see any literature either…

  9. Ask HN: Would You Go to the Doctor Right Now?

    I have a minor doctor visit I need to make that's probably nothing serious but there's a small chance it could be. It's something that has to be looked at in-person, so I can't just do a remote appointment. But I'm also…

  14. Ask HN: Alternatives to S3 Buckets?

    Especially for smaller/personal projects. I know Google has an equivalent product, but I'm just trying to get the lay of the land. The bucket equivalent of DigitalOcean's hosting would also be interesting to know about…

  16. Ask HN: Is “Trustwave” Legitimate?

    A small business owner I know just got an email from trustwave.com about urgently needing to log in to their "PCI Manager" and update their "Scan Attestation". I assumed it was a phishing email at first, but I did some…

  23. Ask HN: Online Compiler Courses?

    Compilers are one of the few major topics that was never covered in my CS education, but I've really taken an interest in them lately. They also seem like something that really would benefit from a structured…

  24. Ask HN: Where does Intel's processor naming convention come from?

    Why is everything "$ADJECTIVE Lake"? And do the individual adjectives mean anything or are they fully random? I couldn't find anything online.

  25. Ask HN: Internal SSD Recommendations?

    It's been a while since I shopped. What are the brands, tips, specs to look for, or more specific recommendations you have for internal SSDs? I'm looking for something in the 500GB-1TB range (bulk storage for games),…
