A high-speed train collided with a stationary train. The title is misleading.

It looks like it's based in London, not EU.

I hadn't heard of this issue with SBCL before so I went searching for it. I guess you're referring to this: https://log.schemescape.com/posts/lisp/sbcl-file-perf-window... That article points out that the issue arises only on Windows. Do you have any evidence of such an issue on Linux or other OS?

Does it have tail-call optimization? I scanned the docs but don't see it mentioned.

Presumably basing Jolt on Chez removes the limitation of the JVM? It could be an interesting selling point.

Not only that, under rule changes in progress it would not be allowed in Guix, which it would appear to be well suited for.

> the patterns in Let over Lambda translate cleanly to Julia

I would be curious to see such a translation.

Can anyone recommend a straightforward, open-source OAUTH solution to self-host.

Ideally I would like to be able to ask a user for their Google/Microsoft/Apple email address and just drop it into a config file for authorization. The user then autenticates themselves at their G/M/A Id server and gets access. Or is this too simplistic?

ASCII only?

What are you using for Reddit now that they have closed access to their API?

Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) gave a good explanation many years ago already:

Interesting article.

When my Emacs opens a markdown file it immediately converts it into OrgMode format. I find that more readable, more navigable and more editable.

Now I'll have to go and meditate about Emacsification.

Isn't it equally important to ask the question:how exactly can you provide impartial, objective reporting when you can afford the salaries?

Finland was the first country to grant its citizens the right to internet access in law.

Other countries including Spain have laws "ensuring that access is broadly available and preventing unreasonable restrictions."

Something has to give.

That was quick. Just the other day we had "Programming is free"

My own experience over the last few months is quite the opposite so it's heartening to see some reputable Lispers reporting the same in the comments here.

Everything in this area is moving so quickly that I haven't yet crystallized my thinking or settled on a working methodology but I am getting a lot of value out of running Claude Code with MCP servers for Common Lisp and Emacs (cl-mcp & emacs-mcp-server). Among other things this certainly helps with the unbalanced parentheses rabbit hole.

Along with that I am showing it plenty of my own Lisp code and encouraging it to adopt my preferred coding style and libraries. It takes a little coaching and reinforcement (recalcitrant intern syndrome) but it learns as it goes. It's really quite a pleasant experience to see it write Lisp as I might have written it.

GDPR is not a PII law. The term is not mentioned once in GDPR. GDPR speaks of "personal data", which as Wikipedia puts it "is significantly broader".
