Please go ahead and delete all my posts too, including this account. I'm done here.
I made a reasonable argument and backed it with referenced facts. Besides the downvotes I received, my main posts were flagged and are now invisible. On top of that, I get low quality comments that add nothing but…
Is this relevant to the discussion? Does it change anything of what I wrote and referenced? Why do you keep bringing it up?
The cause of the black-white IQ gap is not relevant to this thread - not sure why you brought it up - . The fact is that the gap exists and of course one would expect it to exist in the US prison population too thus the…
The black-white IQ gap in the US is not scientifically disputed. [1] US prisons are ~38% black. [2] Norwegian prisons aren't. Not to mention that in general, and without taking into account race, you don't expect the…
Also much lower IQs in the US prison population compared to Norway's. Combine that with the gangs in the US that effectively rule the prison system - is there such a thing as a shot caller in Norway ? - and there is no…
I've been all over the US, NYC is a dump of colossal proportions, a train wreck happening in (maybe not so) slow motion. I live in Europe and parts of Manhattan reminded me of the third world. Hype / reality distortion…
I defined crapware as something which dilutes the space of good libraries, offers nothing new and pretends to solve non-existing problems. I made my case.
More misinformation here. Emacs Lisp is a Lisp-2. Emacs Lisp has lexical scope. When writing code in Emacs, Emacs Lisp for all intents and purposes can be seen as a subset of Common Lisp, not an entirely different…
I mentioned the problem Lem claims to solve and proved that there are existing solutions to that problem. I also put forth that Lem is inferior to Emacs/SLIME/Sly when writing Lisp which should be obvious to anyone with…
This post is full of misinformation. cl-lib.el is not discouraged, it's widely used by Emacs itself and pretty much every substantial Emacs Lisp library out there. What's discouraged is using an older version, cl.el, at…
One persistent problem I see in the Common Lisp (love the language!) space is the wide availability of crapware that not only doesn't bring something new to the table but is actively damaging to the community since it's…
Immersion is the killer feature of VR, not standalone graphical fidelity. FOV, 6DOF tracking are far more important today than 4K per-eye resolution and 120 FPS. Moreover, foveated rendering will give us drastic…
Like you I think the Quest will change everything. I feel that it has to, at this point, for VR momentum to break through. Do you think Oculus will dominate the space in the coming decade? I can't help but be reminded…
One fact that's seldom reported is that RTM's father, Robert H. Morris Sr, started working for the NSA in 1986, two years before RTM unleashed the worm. Food for thought maybe?
First, it's Lisp not LISP. Using "LISP" immediately flags you as someone with a superficial (if at all there) understanding of the language. Second, unsubstantiated proclamations like "Overuse of them led to LISP code…
I am not sure I would call cranelift "substantial" in terms of exposure/usage. From what I gather, it's not used at all for normal, everyday Javascript. I stand corrected though, every little bit helps. Here's hope…
Not bad but a little bit of a publicity stunt. A major source of vulnerabilities is (still) the Javascript engine and that's (still) written in C++. Even worse, as far as I know, Mozilla has no plans to rewrite even…
I've spent enough time (not much) with urbit to write a Nock interpreter/compiler. There are aspects of it that rub me the wrong way such as the needless custom terminology and general esoteric nature that sometimes…
I've known you (from your posts at comp.lang.lisp) to be eager to present the facts as you see them and thorough in your argumentation. What is it about Urbit/Yarvin that merits this sort of post?
The average IQ in Honduras is around 80 and the average of IQ in sub-saharan Africa is below 70 [1]. Why would any technologically advanced country want hordes of refugees with low IQs? [1]…
Google is full of computer science types. I think it is safe to say if all you are is a code monkey you will not make it in. Fortunately for you there are a million other employers that will be happy to hire you to do…
I will copy my post again, here, to expose your strawman or unwillingness to stop deflecting: "One would ask himself how the BSDs manage to do it (no systemd), Android (no systemd), ChromeOS (no systemd),…
This is disingenuous, systemd-journald is the default in every systemd-using distribution I am aware of. The philosophy of systemd is all about tight coupling and forcing its singular vision on end users. When that…
You are using logical fallacies in your argument. First, not _everyone_ has adopted it (loaded language). Google, which controls the vast majority of Linux systems on the planet, has not. GNU has not. Others [1] have…
