In Lisp, those following programmers can simply macroexpand. With modern tools they can even do it inside their editor, co-located as replacement text in the same source file, connected to a live Lisp environment, if…
It might be useful if it remembered a bill for, say, 60 days, and could also comment on percent difference since the last one. "The total amount due on the bill is $83.89 which is 4% higher than last month's bill from…
The CME offers Bitcoin futures which can be shorted if you have a futures trading account with a broker.
I use `!!` quite a bit to repeat the output of the prior command as an argument. # it's in my PATH but can't remember where which myscript vi `!!`
Ironically, AI may help get past that. In order to measure "value chunks" or some other metric where LoC is flexibly multiplied by some factor of feature accomplishment, quality, and/or architectural importance, an…
It's cool. Curious what libraries you're building on, from a web front-end perspective, to make the UI and charts etc?
Maybe before 'vagrant up' you run 'sudo chattr +i Vagrantfile' to make it immutable. Seems to disallow removal of the attribute inside the VM, but allow it outside.
It could've easily been defined that the else branch runs if the while condition never had a true value at all. In fact, I think that's more intuitive.
Bluefish has had a release in October 2025 and the development page talks about gtk-3. Are you sure you've kept up to date with it? If you like it, stick with it.

And the last release was three weeks ago! Perl 5.42.0 was released July 3, 2025.
In fact, I recommend to newbies that their Lisp syntax highlighting shades the parentheses close to your background color. You get the best of both worlds: they fade away, but you can use Structural Editing.

I play around with quicklisp to develop and tinker. To test and deploy, I generally use Guix [0] to express a package for my application which pins dependencies to exact versions and optionally can run in a container. I…
Yes. A sequence of consecutive hashes would match to a TV show or movie identifier in a local database; and that identifier is all that needs to be uploaded until there's a new TV show or movie identified.
I always liked it. I type lowercase, the computer speaks back uppercase. We know who said what. It's also nostalgia for BASIC. ;-)
I agree that real is better, but "fake" scenery lets you explore and ride virtually in all kinds of natural and urban surroundings, which might be interesting to some people.

Even for porting there's a bit of ambiguity... Do you port line-for-line or do you adopt idioms of the target language? Do you port bug-for-bug as well as feature-for-feature? Do you leave yet-unused abstractions and…
Oh, interesting. I just assumed a MN was selected by randomly selecting a path on the board and presenting the answer; that removes the possibility of being impossible. I wonder how it does work.
