The software world today is increasingly SaaS, user-hostile and rent-extracting. My most recent experience is Shutter Stock, a completely scam company that charges ridiculous amoun…

So cool! Thanks for sharing

A bit late to the party. I recommend SICP, On Lisp & Art of Metaobject Protocol. The last you can skip to some degree because its quite advanced so unless you want to stay in the L…

Eh is the book GPL though :-/ Can somebody confirm

This part is really interesting: > It is fast - our spatial classifier takes only milliseconds to come to a conclusion about a page (there is additional time prior to this step due…

I see, thanks

Can somebody elaborate what is Mezzano and how it compares to Linux?

Well Mahatma Gandhi, who literally pioneered the Non-Violence Movement, never won the Peace Prize so any of its credibility has long been gone. In fact its probably better /not/ to…

I think this is a very valid viewpoint. Typically its better not to learn / use macros until one is sufficiently advanced, functions will do for 99.5% of the circumstances, to call…

Ummmm sorry to burst your bubble, all those languages you mentioned are considered part of the lisp family (I'm not sure what Fennel is, so can't comment), so actually you interpre…

Macros let you construct expressions at compile time (not run time). So one can basically create their own programming language in macros, which at compile time expands into the st…

For those who want to try out a quote unquote weird language, here is a cheat sheet I found helpful for Lisp: https://github.com/ashok-khanna/lisp-notes

p.s. love you weekly Emacs blog, its such a joy to read. Thanks for doing that!

MathML, like other XML syntax languages, are more meant for computers to read & interpret - not for end users to write. I hope it becomes native across all browsers (as its the bes…

Great advice
