I wonder why people want to use/abuse signals and slots in QML, when it's perfectly possible to just use good old plain functions in a language binding, like it is done here (for ECL/Common Lisp): https://gitlab.c

Me too (for both historical and religious reasons). I just meant to be "modern friendly" ;)

L[2] has nothing to do with "second". It just means "plus 2". If you consider Monday the first day of the week, then Monday[1] is (naturally) Monday + 1. Zero indexing just feels right, I can't help it (it's wr

C is beautiful portable assembly (nothing more).

I can't believe there's a serious discussion about this topic. Even if you overcome the technical challenges (which I doubt), people would get depressed on any planet other than Earth. All other planets are just insanely sad for h

Yeah, it's that bad... If all of your code base is C++, what do you think the mindset is of the main developers? The only compromise they were able to allow themselves to think in was... ECMAScript. Sad.

Shudder, shudder, C++ 11 seems as bad a monster as C++ always has been...

I tried latest Ubuntu (after using many other distros over the years), and I'm perfectly fine with it. The GUI is simple and does all what I need, with useful default behaviour.

Don't use smart phones. Just don't. It works for me.

Who talks about God? We're talking about scientific evidence. Big numbers are just imagination (see my other comment).

If you take, let's say, 10 thousand years, and try to explain every single detail of our planet, in all branches of science involved, you get the whole picture completely painted, without contradictions. Big numbers are just imaginatio

Exactly the opposite is true: theres is overwhelming evidence that the Universe (and our solar system) can't be older than just thousands of years. Often in history majority was wrong. And history is repeating itself, repeatedly.

What? 600M years? Really? Are you folks aware that 1000 years is already a very long time? Any number bigger than, say 100.000 years is just the same as infinity, regarding to time. This "infinity" problem simply requires too much

There is no sample chapter, ok, but all of the book's code (quite a lot) can be downloaded and worked through in Slime (see top of each file), even without buying the book!

Most probably true, but the shame is to put on China as the "red" system it is, and not the people.

Nah, I take it literally: this announcement makes 28 people happy!! Good for them!

Benigni is a class on its own. I think many folks don't really get what he is really trying to say; you can view his movies with a quarter of a brain, but you need all of your heart!

Since they invented capital letters already, they do spell differently! The debian package is "clasp", not "Clasp".

Where I live, "moral-free" is called "immoral".

Really impressive, but in CClasp (which will get even faster in future), you'll have (once finished) this kind of optimizations for ALL of the functions, both built-in and your own.

Some old mechanical typewriters didn't have the Zero '0', one had to use the 'O' character. That's the historical reason.

What's next? I would like to marry myself!! When will I finally be able to do that? Do I have to wait another century?
