That's one dishonest headline. Air pollution areas are commonly associated with big cities, where the crime rate tends to be higher. The website clearly turned this into something …

In that case, you might want to check the wiki. There are still some examples missing, but they'll give you a general idea.

Hello. It was tested on Linux and FreeBSD. Works fine on any of those systems if you have SBCL and dmenu installed, though it might need a few tweaks on program paths of your confi…

Hello. I currently use this daily to automate my workflow. I have no pretension of "selling" this as a very extensible tool that everyone should use, though I agree that I need to …

Hello, I'm the author. I just found out someone put this in HN again, I hope I can explain. This is basically a way to create menus and submenus for recurrent utilities. You can us…

From his talk on OOPSLA[1], I'd say that only Smalltalk and Common Lisp (through CLOS) were able to perform OO as Kay envisioned. Erlang is another story: it would probably be bett…

They shouldn't. I'm not saying that Git doesn't have commands that can be hard to understand fully, but the whole point of any abstraction is to hide the "insides" of any operation…

Though I agree that complaining like this can be a problem for people with zero experience, I don't think it is a valid argument against what OP is pointing out. Most of the proces…

Not cool. This also seems to imply no support for Atom feeds as well. I have switched my media channels entirely to RSS/Atom feeds, though I only read them through Emacs. This cann…

This is beautiful, and a wonderful project to develop along with some friends. JPL nailed it.

It may sound like a harsh statement, but exactly because corporations are not like people, they seem to be harder to change, in my opinion. I'm not saying Microsoft can't change, b…

I think the thought of deletion is pretty much just one of the problems. I managed to delete my Facebook profile a few months ago, but the amount of pressure I often receive from p…

I was going to answer, but the other comments already did :) Though most of it right now is just learning material for people new to Common Lisp, the project is actually for lisper…

Hello. I'm afraid the main focus is to join all Brazilian or Portuguese-speaking lispers in one place, but we're not really supporting English-speaking ones, though you're very wel…

While I expect a lot of people to not agree with what I am going to say, I believe this is much more linked to the political moment than to Twitter having a problem with "handling …

I think the title might be misleading here. It doesn't really transpile Common Lisp to C, it requires you to write in a C-like Lisp dialect so it gets translated to C. Might as wel…

I really wanted to test that, but the lack of Linux support is a bummer. Maybe in a few weeks...

Been using Mastodon and I can say it is indeed a very good alternative. One reminder to newcomers: choose wisely which server you'll join, depending on your interests. It will infl…

Let's hope this move helps with the transitioning to Python 3. I'm not a Python programmer myself, but I'm tired of things getting hairy on Linux dependencies written in Python. It…

Pardon my ignorance, but isn't Flutter a little immature too? I remember playing with it and Dart a while ago, still didn't seem to have everything necessary to ship something to p…

Funny, exactly the opposite happened to me. I have been using VSCode for C++ projects and, after discovering that it had very poor support for the Scheme language, I was practicall…

One quick way to do that is by using NewPipe Android app. It has an RSS feed button. Plus, you get a lightweight YouTube frontend.

Just deleted my Facebook account in about two weeks ago and started consuming news through RSS and through Podcasts and some YouTube channels (which are also, surprisingly, RSS). I…

Does this support ProtonMail? I'm interested, but I'm also a bit paranoid with my mail privacy.

This is a horrible experience, but I must admit it's also a good laughing material.
