Bedrock Emacs is pretty much this, its what I finally used after I declared config-bankruptcy with Doom, and it gave me the room I needed to get my own setup together https://codeb…

Glanding, throat-mic; I see those Culture-isms :^) Certainly far from Banks' Minds sadly; though I could certainly see an Eccentric with a hyper-fixation on fantasy creatures

Oh man, I played with teapot once a long while ago, but couldn't figure out how to parse values from XDR files in $LANG, or export some given sheet into CSV or other format- which …

Does learning/using new words make you a worse writer? The handful of times I've used a thesaurus is usually 'for aesthetics', in that the word/phrase I have in mind clashes with t…

It's not a democracy (by definition)

Why even leave this comment?

Disclaimer: I used the /royal/ LISP--as in the 'lisp family'- my introduction, and language of choice, has been Clojure (who's qualification as a Lisp is technically contended by c…

Working with lisp quickly made me realize how over-rated operator precedence (or even the concept of "operators") is. All such effort and early grade-school hours spent on this arb…

"Sense business wise" seems to vary quite a bit nowadays, at least every other day there's a headline of a company on here doing something almost exclusively for short-term value a…

The proximity of this and Bitnami pulling their 'free hardened images' is amusing, and I'm just as concerned about another (eventual, but imminent) rug-pull down the line. Docker I…

Well, paying money for consumer apps/services (besides games) has always seemed a bit more normalized in the iOS ecosystem, and I imagine it must be a _somewhat_ simpler interface …

Oh man, I first looked at this project what feels like _forever_ ago and remember thinking--almost verbatim, "Wow I wish I could see this 5 years from now", and lo and behold I sup…

I assumed the post was sarcastic, but Poe's Law I suppose, sadly..

Looking around my area, unsure what the heuristics are for determining whats a climbing/boulder gym, but there's quite a few false-positives. I got excited because I thought there …

I've been using Clojure for a few years now and zippers have always been a blindspot (had no idea even _when_ they would be useful), this is a remarkable tutorial!

But those 99.999% of users won't be using F-droid or direct-installs to begin with.
