To add to what everyone else is saying, most Lisps support redefining functions in a running application. Instead of the code/compile/test loop most languages use, you can create Lisp programs iteratively from inside…
Both can be true, you know.
Sure, and USL vs BSDI had nothing whatsoever to do with it. Seriously, if you like the GPL, use arguments that are verifiably true. Otherwise you're just another fanboy spouting talking points.
In context it seems they're concerned about clear ownership of the code. It's lumped in with rules about not submitting code that might not have clear licensing or ownership. Here's the specific part from NetBSD's…
Maybe, but default masculine was way more common. That was still taught as proper usage in the 80s here in the US. He/she was its most common replacement until fairly recently.
A lot of us grew up back when "he" was first being replaced by "he/she" (or just "her"). We'll get used to "they" as we encounter it more and more in daily usage. Just give it time.
Clojure and Common Lisp are very different beasts.
Finger is a protocol. It's older than IP. You can read about it in RFC 742.
To be fair, they don't have Armadillos in Europe. of course, you could say the same for Mars...
Tornado: return to the barn when you receive emergency weather alerts. Not much different than people.
The resources system was really cool though. It gave you a unified configuration system and allowed deep levels of themeability. I remember you could assign a pixmap to every element of Netscape 3's interface, for…
Motif wasn't considered ugly at the time (at least by most people). If you ran Netscape on your SGI, you know what Motif looks like. Motif did have a reputation for being a total drag to develop with, though. It's based…
It's the platform that's proprietary. Sun used a lot of open parts, but they had absolute control over the platform. Everything in your solution came from Sun or a Sun partner. Fujitsu doing weird stuff with Japanese…
In my case, it's literally free money. I travel a lot for work. I pay for everything with my card, and I'm reimbursed by the company. I rack up points, and whenever I travel for pleasure or as an independent contractor,…
DMV is a state level agency and varies a lot depending on where you are. It's partially privatized here in Oklahoma and mostly painless (you only need the actual DMV for driver's tests, CDL background checks, etc.) but…
FreeBSD does, but I haven't tried it. It has its own chapter in the handbook. No idea about the others. I rarely need to run Windows binaries so I'm not the best person to ask.
Depends on what you need. Software compatibility is mostly good, as long as it doesn't have a dependency on systemd or some other Linux-specific feature. Driver support varies, but FreeBSD in particular is pretty decent…
If a nation state actor is out to get you, then your cybersecurity is meaningless anyway.
The term "PLC" is a lot more specific than "computer with some GPIO ports." No one that works with PLCs would consider a Raspberry Pi to be one. These things are walled gardens. You never see the operating system. You…
A microcontroller based solution is rarely a good replacement for a PLC. You can find integrators willing to come out and troubleshoot your device in the field a lot more easily than embedded progammers and vendor…
The first line of text on their homepage? But I don't see anything wrong with OpenBSD saying they focus on security when it's well documented that they do, in fact, focus heavily on security.
I ran it diskless for years with read-only NFS mounts. Set up syslog and a pflog daemon to send logs elsewhere, and you don't need write access most of the time.
I'll add another recommendation for Scheme. The concepts in SICP map very well into Scheme, whereas I can only imagine them being awkward and non-idiomatic in JS. There's lots of passing around first class functions and…
Because a lot of people aren't libertarians?
I agree that the characterization was uncalled for in the post you replied to. But I don't agree with your statement that most people who generally oppose regulation have good reasons for doing so. Conservative media…
