worded badly whatever
this isn't even the first time something like this has happened. it's literally a running joke in programmer circles that AWS East going down will take down half the internet, and yet there's absolutely zero initiative…
The worst thing about the Proton UI that I never hear anyone talk about is that it is objectively a massive downgrade if you're not using a modern 1080p (or higher res) monitor. My laptop is an old X220 Thinkpad, so…
I'm aware, but I use *BSD on my computers and can't afford to pay for a FreeBSD LW license to compile something from source myself, so I'm shit outta luck. I am aware that the reason why it uses LispWorks is for the GUI…
I've always wondered why Common Lisp has so many algorithmic composition applications. In addition to Opusmodus, Common Music, and Common Lisp Music, which were mentioned elsewhere ITT, there's also Open Music…
in my defense this is such a culturally american thing to be opposed to walkable cities that I can scarcely comprehend how a country with a far less car-dependent infrastructure could fall for this nonsense, also I have…

Weird, I interviewed with him summer 2021 hoping to be able to land an ontologist job at Cycorp. It went spectacularly badly because it turned out I really needed to brush up more on my formal logic skills, but I was…
Business model: Uber for yuppies LARPing as poor people
My attempts at making a media manager/server (like Jellyfin and Subsonic) have shown that it's easier said than done to reliably sort video files since there's not really a standardized way of embeddeding metadata into…
The problem with trying to replace a smartphone with a dumbphone is that most people (young people at least) don't use calling and texting anymore unless forced to. I'd rather have something in between a laptop and a…
Seems that their plan to do everything possible to sabotage their browser and waste resources on stupid bullshit that doesn't improve Firefox is working.
The fact that this is receiving downboats and 'but muh convenience, artists deserve to get fucked over because Spotify found a better way to exploit human psychology!' is truly an orange site moment. I pirate the…
> All of these things have one thing in common: distrust. Some movements come from the distrust of governments or taxation, others come from the distrust of central services. This isn't framing the problem the fediverse…
Agreed. People give a lot of hate to FORMAT and LOOP, but I think with both of them for the domains they're working in, it's kind of a natural progression of the evolution of a DSL (which as you said is very lispy since…
Finally, something good and also inexplicably off-topic gets posted to HN. It broke new ground!!
Sailfish could have been great, but Jolla apparently tried to overextend themselves making hardware and software for their products and almost died trying. It's a shame because the Jolla phone had a swappable back part…
so Google is starting to get scared because they've noticed people noticing their main product has become trash.
It's neat to see one of my personal holy grails of urban exploring being posted here and then see people talking about gentrifying an entire preserved town from the 80s to build some kind of weird techbro commune. Never…
What, it's not insane that we've opted to instead throw massive amounts of computing resources at mountains of data to train statistical models to drive cars instead of not bending to the whims of NIMBYs holding onto…
I was considering trying to implement this in an imageboard engine project, with the idea being that instead of relying on IP addresses as a way to curb abuse without requiring users to make accounts, every user would…
The history and downfall of Symbolics is generally kind of tragic, but the fate of their domain being bought and turned into an SEO-optimized piece of spam by a domain squatter trying to make a quick buck on it is…
Star Citizen for me is a recurring reminder that there are probably hundreds of talented game developers either working independently and living in poverty to work on things that they're truly passionate about and that…
Funnily enough I was just wondering earlier if shinmera had open-sourced the engine he wrote Kandria with
What I've always wondered about this is what kind of experience companies hiring COBOL programmers are looking for. Anyone can learn COBOL the language, but it seems like the real issue with hiring COBOL devs is that…
