Clasp is actually a word, and CLISP is part of GNU now so they should probably rename it something childish and cringe inducing like LURP, which is a recursive acronym for LERP: Universal REPL Programming or something.
My experience with SBCL disagrees with this. It's not as fast as, say, C++ for some use cases, but it's pretty quick. Significantly faster than something like Python.
Wasabi?
Perhaps not everything needs to "scale".
I've been using lisp-stat in production as part of an algorithmic trading application I wrote. It's been very solid, and though the plotting is (perhaps was, in light of this new release) kinda unwieldy, I really…
The npm ecosystem has been shown over and over again to be a dysfunctional tire fire. I feel like at this point continuing to publish on npm is kind of a "that's what you get" situation.
Agreed, stability is a big plus. I recently decided to take the plunge and start learning Common Lisp, and now it's my favorite language despite some warts. Being an ANSI standard with multiple cooperative…
Markdown is actually awful. There's at least 3 different dialects that are all called Markdown, so if you want your text rendered it's a toss-up as to whether or not it'll look how you intend. I think that Markdown's…
I'm under the impression that rate-limiting is manually applied by the moderators on a per-user basis. *edit: Ironically I've been rate limited and can't continue this conversation, lmao
Depends. I work in Aerospace and most of our regulations are written in blood, as they say. I prefer to paraphrase A Few Good Men: "We follow rules, or people die".
>Maybe there is a way to do ads well that isn't intrusive and that adds value to the UX. There isn't.
Rust is specifically the name for iron oxide. Technically speaking, copper doesn't "rust". It oxidizes.
>one has exactly as much power in it as anyone on the dev team Technically, perhaps, but not politically. In that respect everyone who is not a core maintainer is an outsider. The latter is more relevant when trying to…
This is a weird flex, to choose to dig your heels in on this particular image/issue.
>AoE 2 (DE) has 35 (he gives it a 3), making over 600 possible 1v1 matchups. The 3 species in Starcraft are quite distinct in many key areas, whereas in Age of Kings and AOE3 (the only ones I've played) the differences…
I'm no expert in arcade games but often the case with niche assets is that the cost of getting them off the premises can outweigh their market value, and assets are only worth something to creditors if they can be sold…
That reads like an email my grandfather would send me with a subject line full of "fwd: " prepends.
The story reads like an email my grandfather would send me with 6 pages of fwds and signatures about emails being checked by Norton Antivirus.
I find 15-minute, daily "sync meetings" to be an invaluable tool in coordinating the efforts of an organization with many moving parts. The meeting chair (senior engineer) goes around the room and we all have the same…
Me too. Ironically, systemd is why I bought a Mac. It's so hard to find a linux distro that actually works on a laptop but doesn't use systemd, so I eventually just gave up on Linux entirely. That left me with BSD,…
Because he hasn't been given a luxurious exit because he didn't start a monads-as-a-service startup with no business model other than selling my personal data and hasn't been acquired by a unicorn.
Wouldn't "actual Nazis" be members of the German National Socialist Party? Pedantic, perhaps, but I think the proper term for these people is "racists" or "white supremacists" (edit: or even better, Neonazis) . I find…
You can squeeze DRMed bags.
Uneducated, ignorant people have always existed in democracies. Those democracies still exist. Being "Highly intellectual" is therefore not a requirement to participate in a democracy. Just look around you, man. There…
