Common Lisp isn't that esoteric! (defun fun-reader (stream arg) (declare (ignore arg)) (read-delimited-list #\⸨ stream t)) (set-macro-character #\⸨ (get-macro-character #\) nil)) (…

NES tetris and modern tetris are VERY different games. NES tetris didn't have hard drop, hold, SRS, 7-bag randomizer, or multiple piece previews, all of which are in all modern gui…

WR for 40L is 14.9 by Reset[1] last I heard. 15 is definitely humanly possible. [1]: https://twitter.com/jstrisgame/status/1424548438096683011

If your goal is to force a touch to decrypt passwords, https://www.palkeo.com/en/blog/perfect-password-manager.html works. You can keep the GPG private key on a Yubikey and require…

The user might copy a block of text with multiple URLs, all of which get pulled out by the grep.

The golang one also silently drops rows.Err() on the floor. https://golang.org/pkg/database/sql/#Rows

Postmodern can do the right thing if you use prepared queries. See `defprepared`.

You can set this up with `pass` and a Yubikey: https://www.palkeo.com/en/blog/perfect-password-manager.html

I don't use/like Roswell, so I'd really prefer a .deb if at all possible.

Thirded. I would also add Clasp to my projects' list of implementations to run unit tests on[1] if I could easily install it on Ubuntu with a .deb. [1]: e.g. adding a test-clasp cl…

> Are there any other languages that change as slowly as C? ANSI Common Lisp has had the same spec since 1994. (This is not a problem, because Common Lisp gives you enough high and…

`n` is the position in the sequence: n=1 = (mod (* 1504170715041707 1) 4503599627370517) = 1504170715041707 n=2 = (mod (* 1504170715041707 2) 4503599627370517) = 3008341430083414 n…

I guess years of using single page Javascript webapps where the back button is a complete shitshow has trained me to not even consider trying it. I'm impressed it actually works on…

I just recorded a two minute video me of me trying to do this. Maybe it will help you understand why people like Gravis (and myself) are frustrated. The video is at http://paste.st…

This would save me literally thousands of lines of code at my day job: (defmacro ?= (symbol-or-symbols expr) (let* ((symbols (etypecase symbol-or-symbols (cons symbol-or-symbols) (…

> That's also probably not the best example, since that's also trivial if you have an editor supporting multiple cursors. Yeah, it's hard to come up with a decent example because I…

You're talking about how it's easy to move to a function or a file, and then you're "ready to edit", but edanm is talking about actually doing the editing . For example: say I jump…
