billionaires constantly complain about overpopulation and some complain about underpopulation either a bunch of people die or a bunch get poor and either way one half of these complaints goes away if even the winners of the game want it rep

You both should do the bare minimum amount of research before asking these questions or insulting the project. It would take you one whole click to find the server code. https://github.com/Librum-Reader/Librum-Server

It is correct; the binary is AGPL, and Snap is a binary distribution method.

You, too, are wrong. From Canonical's actual announcement: > Canonical has decided to change the default contributions to the LXD project to AGPLv3 to align with our standard license for server-side code. All Canonical contributions

How has it been a huge boon to the GNU ecosystem? Clang is slow, the code generated is not consistently better than GCC for most of the software I personally run benchmarks for, and it's not like GCC has ever been worse for feature sup

Pretty sure EMACS beat Kubernetes to the punch. This Helm, too, is pretty old now. Complaining about names is ridiculous. There are only so many names to go around, and there's almost no overlap in use-case or userbase between a synthe

In your opinion, was O.J. Simpson "cancelled?" Hans Reiser? At what point do we draw a line and accept that a person can be judged negatively for harm they cause?

Have you considered just getting him a gaming console? If he's got the degree, he's prepared enough. After he gets a job, you'll be in a position where he won't really be practical to get those "Wow!" gifts for

This is a satisfying and well-considered answer. I apologize for being a bit rude to you elsewhere in the thread; I do want you to succeed, but your avoidance of pointing out the missteps in leadership that caused this to happen or explaini

A very basic IRC client can be made literally with pretty much ten lines, netcat, head, echo, cat and a named pipe. It's not bollocks. IRC is super easy to develop for. Even doing basic stuff with Matrix, on the other hand, while still

Would it be accurate to say that you value trust & safety less than any other part of the project? You praise the UX designers, who apparently were not laid off. Is UX more important? Is your job more important? Where on the priority

Why in the world would anybody use Matrix if you made it closed-source (as you've so cleverly disguised it, """open""" core)? I use it daily to talk to pretty much everyone I know. It isn't as good

Dworkin had to prostitute herself in order to survive in the 1970s. I think you're barking up the wrong tree. If anyone was sympathetic to the struggle, it was Dworkin. She just acknowledged that it was also harmful and contributing to

It is impossible for the stock market to be irrational, but individual actors within are often irrational. Within the game, "the stock market," it is rational. The game is "What do I think other people will pay for this?&quot

Stock prices are speculative. It makes sense because the market wants to buy and sell it at that price.

My view isn't that accounts tied to real people are bad. It's that your lack of ability to think of cases where what you propose could be harmful points to a total lack of critical thought on your part. The point that I am making

Your account is 52 days old, which I will admit is a poor way to estimate how long someone's been around. Look at any old thread around Arc's release and you'll see the comment quality was even lower than here. https:/&

It wasn't elaborated on because it wasn't part of the core point of the comment, which was someone claiming falsely that to write Common Lisp you needed to use CLOS, which you absolutely don't. You wouldn't go into why

You absolutely can use it without CLOS. It was an afterthought poorly bolted on that was worse than its predecessor in most ways as to be portable. It didn't exist when CLtL1 was written and barely existed when CLtL2 was released.

You can't bootstrap OpenDylan from source without a Dylan compiler. You can bootstrap Gwydion without one with substantial elbow work, which you can then pivot into bootstrapping OpenDylan. I know what I was doing, and if you look else

by headhasthoughts 4y ago
The way you actually have to do it is trawling through git repos to find an old version of Gwydion, bashing at it for a while, and maybe getting it to compile on modern platforms. Look for 2.4, then rewind, then pass a config flag, and a

Reading this, it feels like you have never touched Common Lisp. It's not a functional programming language. It's an object-oriented imperative language.
