I never got what what to do in that room with the sleeping dogs :D Failed hard! Good times.

Another story that leads to my conclusion to not use such and similar services. For me it‘s always better to hoard data on my selfowned drives.

There were times we enjoyed slaying dragons in a 40 player raid. But yeah, time passes, you get older, and interests shift. It was great!

In this situation here google is not willing to check if an automatism failed. I do not think that problem applies to selfhostetd content. But who knows, its a world where everythi…

It's google. I can live without it. Do you?

I love Sublime. I use it for ruby coding, and I think I will buy an upgrade to version 4, just to support this great editor. I don't know how long I have my license.... Must been 5…

Yes, as far as I remember it was really only in WfW 3.11

Back in stoneage, while using Windows 3.11 (I think it was calles Windows for Workgroups or so...) there was a bug in calc: 0.02-0.01 resulted in a flat zero. Perhaps it's time to …

It was my first programming language I got things done with - until I discovered ruby. After a ride into lisp/scheme/racket world I'm on ruby again. I have good memories with it, b…

this is outstanding! speechless.

It was my first role playing game. I went into every house and stole everything I could find. Then the kids in town started to throw rocks at me. After that I deleted the game, bec…

#lang racket is here to stay parallel to #lang racket2 Racket is a lot of languages, not only one. You can mix in Racket as you like. You can mix #lang racket and #lang typed/racke…

I needed a tool to sync my files across different platforms. I learned that I don't need that. You can say lessions learned. I now use a proper backup tool, and don't spread my dig…

It depends heavenly on what you want to do. All of them SBCL, Racket and Clojure work platform independent, and have different strengths. I'd choose it based on type of application…

I do recommend Practical Common Lisp not only for Lisp newcomers. The concepts teached apply to programming in a bigger context. Lisp is here only a vehicle (a very good one).

Hey! Why so angry! :-)

Yes, I'm sorry. It was meant as an answer to 'Incidentally, I've been wondering what app I should write to test my Lisp.'

I would consider writing a small standardlib for your lisp. While writing it you will encounter things you can optimize perhaps.

It's a feature and you are using it wrong.

And if, it's on lsd.

I think that's nothing anyone can say for sure. You need to compare them for yourself and deside if you "need" the one or the other tool for that purpose. Something like a perfect …

Run forest, run!

I'm curious what where the problems? It's imho straight forward.

I was just curious, because those functionionality wished is in nearly every list processor, no mather what syntax used. And if not you macro that away, right?
