Re:IBM and the Holocaust (2017) on Friday June 07, 2019 @10:36PM (#20130276)
The premise given previously that counting machines were culpable seems a stretch. Given IBM made firearms for the US.
Do you mean SR-71 instead of the B2?
Re:What are the differences between OpenBSD and Linux? on Tuesday May 28, 2019 @01:55PM (#20032618)
Easy. One is a kernel, and one is a distro.

Re:Perchance to Scheme (2016) on Wednesday November 28, 2018 @06:05PM (#18556531)
I was requesting valid scheme that did not work properly. Given the https://ecraven.github.io/r7rs-benchmarks/ shows Gerbil passing more tests than many other implementations, it seems hard to call it a "non-scheme".
Re:Perchance to Scheme (2016) on Wednesday November 28, 2018 @02:14PM (#18554651)
And Gambit has backends for JS, Java, Ruby, Php, C and no doubt some others.

CL success stories are growing a bit long in the tooth. Sort through the links yourself to get an idea. http://www.lispworks.com/success-stories/index.html

Academic as in, there are many places where the person[s] working on the code or feature abruptly stopped. As if they graduated and were no longer working on it.
Re:Perchance to Scheme (2016) on Wednesday November 28, 2018 @02:10PM (#18554623)
Gerbil has a package manager too.
Re:Perchance to Scheme (2016) on Wednesday November 28, 2018 @02:09PM (#18554612)
Umm superficially you could say it is anything. The reality is it IS Scheme. (define (foo bar) (format "hi ~a" bar)) works just fine. As will any of the Scheme code, as it's merely syntactic sugar, (import :std/sugar) that you are confusing with a whole new language.
Re:Perchance to Scheme (2016) on Wednesday November 28, 2018 @02:01PM (#18554516)
The best CL implementations unfortunately are not opensource. There is still a large use of Lispworks by many heavy CL developers. And anyone who has used it knows what they have to offer over the opensource equivalents. Support is something well worth its cost. Plus in production things tend to just work on Allegro and Lispworks. They tend to bench well for the things we need. http://ftp.linux.org.uk/~ober/report.html

These days Gambit/Gerbil are a much more pragmatic Scheme.
https://www.newssniffer.co.uk/articles/1706143/diff/0/1 Sure seems less "compelling" when they make these sorts of edits.
If this is such an obvious issue in E mercantile capitalism, then it seems an obvious choice for other places that money and power come into play.
They mean that what they already sell, was stolen without being paid for?
Not the first time. A good read is https://jewishreviewofbooks.com/articles/597/hollywood-and-t... It's all about the money, and never about ethics.

A complete lack of reference to the elephant in the room. Chavez was always very clear on his approach, and his 100% embracing of the S-word. Yet not referenced at all here.

Re:Netflix and Alphabet will need to become ISPs, fast on Wednesday June 13, 2018 @08:00PM (#17308118)
Interesting that wireless services was left out of the conversation. Given it's massive growth in urban areas, and the fact, there are many options for most populations. Video is hardly a high bandwidth use case. Cultivation of victims.
More of the same from the last 9 years.
The former to be influenced to the "common truth" by the latter, no doubt.

Very nice.Been using the bsd/Linux support to run all my favorite Android apps. X11 throguh xiwi is seamless and already provides the gnu/Linux apps I need.
