If it is indeed 300* faster, I'm sure more rational corporations will rethink their license policy or be left in the dust.

And it's a huge distraction. Afaik (and I'm no climate researcher), the increased albedo of greater cloud coverage due to greater vaporization because of higher temperatures is the…

I'm rather surprised that they did end. After all, Itanium is one of few architectures (also the Russian Ebrus comes to mind) which doesn't exhibit the SPECTRE vulnerability.

C-Kermit? I (barely) remember tinkering with the FORTH version on a Epson HX20 (late in its life) anno 1995. The sources seem to originate (today) at https://atariwiki.org/wiki/Wik…

Among those qualifiers would also be 'free open source'. I'd think there are hardened operating systems which are not much, if at all, talked about in public. Perhaps, in the age o…

Meh, I prefer (reverse "stressed") myself. Say what you mean!

Nobody stopped anyone to come up with variants, just from calling those ANSI Common Lisp compliant. There are after all many, most of which are long dead already.

It is my understanding that easing bootstrap was the original motivation of the fork of CMU CL. I'm a bit confused about that, since CMU CL supports compilation to byte-code (which…

How about the distinction between the boolean value false, the empty list and whether an empty list ought to be true or false? ]:->

Not sure about that. I rather think it's the very dynamic nature of Python (e.g. at run time one can add members to classes) which limits performance gains achievable by compilatio…
