Most if not all the terrorist-related deaths are attributed to The Troubles that ended in - you guessed that - 1998. It is not possible to attribute the deaths or lack thereof to c…

Regardless of what side you take, time is the judge. It does not care about what you consider right or wrong. It will show which societies will prosper and which will go extinct.

It would be nice to refactor some of these. Vas deferens and laryngeal nerve look like easy pickings. Leave me my ear-wiggling. Any last bit of expression matters. I'm dreading the…

Btw I meant quasi-mutations of course. So every quasi-mutation conses. Alright.

Big-O is one thing. Big constant factor, heap fragmentation and cache locality are other useful characteristics of data structures.

Balancing trade-off is crucial in software design. It would be nice if the documentation listed the trade-offs of the structures compared to their native implementations. I imagine…

Besides, one can easily code a skill+script for detecting the problem and suggesting fixes. In my anecdotal experience it cuts down the number of times dumber models walk in circle…

This is fantastic! Godspeed.

It is not easy to tell because lparallel's documentation website has rotted away just the same as cl-user.net. Does anyone remember this beautiful wiki of CL libraries? Anyway, it …

>Yes, but that would be a CL violation Let's be brave and deviate from the standard, preferably in a backward-compatible way, to provide the best achievable DX. The CL committee, h…

The same way threads are different from goroutines, green threads, JS event loop etc.

Coalton is nice but it requires a wrapper around every form you feed a REPL or around the whole file. If on the other hand SBCL had a more powerful type system or extension points …

Hijacking the thread, the JetBrains plugin for Common Lisp had not been maintained since 2023. I forked it and vibed it back to life. You don't need Emacs. Feel free to enjoy Commo…

It is probably the best Common Lisp compiler when it comes to type checking. However, it leaves a lot to be desired. For example, it cannot specialize an element type for lists. Wi…

That explains why Opus was so dumb yesterday. It walked in circles on tasks it used to one-shot. With these companies and services you never know what product you are actually gett…

We all can google. Have you tried to install the plugin? It doesn't support the current version of the IDE and as the last commit was 8 months ago there is no hope it will get such…

One thing this specific feature was letting me do is seeing when Claude Code takes a wrong turn, read a wrong memory MD file. I used to immediately interrupt and correct its course…

That 500x313 screenshot of the desktop does not help any argument.

It will be mine as well but only because consumer agentic AI became available and good. Only it makes all quirks and hardware incompatibilities bearable. I tell it to investigate t…

What's is the deal with Linux and suspend? It seems only a select few combinations of hardware and software can handle suspend and resume. AMD is commonly praised for their Linux d…

It was so thoughtful of them to use IR tracking. Bed time gaming becomes much easier. I wonder if there was a choice between color passthrough and IR tracking and they chose the la…

The whole area is full of contradictions: - mechanical keys - reduced movement; - buy a custom build - have industrial build quality; - barely any movement - good blood flow; - avo…

One limitation of JSON is its limited set of types. For example, for decimal numbers one has to resort to stringly typing representation because DB connection libraries assume that…
