    You banned my account and not the one I replied to? Baffling. I'll probably make a new account eventually because I enjoy communicating with the intelligent people on this site. Yo…

    It still doesn't say what the purpose of it is. I don't really expect it to either. I expected that asking the question here would be OK, though.

    Well it doesn't say that. I just said it sounds like a reinvention of Lisp because that's what it sounded like to me from what it says on the homepage.

    Trolling by asking a question to which I wasn't able to find answer after a good few minutes on the website?

    What is the purpose of this? Education? It sounds like yet another reinvention of Lisp.

    That's because Google knows where you live.

    If you're not already a lisper I would recommend learning Common Lisp from one of the many excellent books. Learning the differences for Emacs Lisp afterwards is a breeze, and you …

    Tbh you just sound like someone who knows what the right thing to do is but is too damn weak to do it for yourself. Your posts are screaming out "if it's the right thing, why won't…

    Have you actually watched a film like Earthlings, though? Why don't you watch it before you go to "Texas Roadhouse"?

    Phones started to get too small in the 2000s. I can't remember which phones in particular but some definitely had buttons too small for most people's hands.

    Training yourself to be tolerant of mistakes on the command line seems like a very bad idea. Carpenters have a rule: measure twice, cut once. Train yourself to do the same.

    It is abundantly clear that the pipenv developers use MacOS so I wonder if it's an OS dependent thing.

    Pipenv is hopelessly slow. It's a shame. Remember when git first came out and it changed the way we worked because it was so quick to commit now? (I fully expect that most git user…

    Nah. Most of them don't understand the difference. If you did you wouldn't can it pedantry. I personally don't find heuristics beautiful. That's why I commented.

    Negative 2 points on a post saying that a computational method that possibly never terminates is not an algorithm... Oh dear...
