A friend built this service to solve the following problem: if you’ve ever built a voice agent or chatbot that needs to call into real phone systems, you know how painful testing can be. https://testvoice.ai/ makes that pro

Importantly, both Awlaki and his teenage son who was later targeted in another drone strike, were both American citizens. You can argue as much as you like in favor of the joys of murder and assassination as a way of organizing the world,

Cicada 3301 is fascinating. Taken at face value (and that's a huge assumption to make) it appears to be a self-styled "cypherpunk freemasonry" of sorts. Care to cite or summarize the evidence and case for a satoshi/cica

I don't know why no one has answered this (it is brought up a few places in this thread) but if I had to guess why they didn't want to go this route I would say it's the trade-off of not not having your data be native. They p

This whole "I used the language for 2 weeks so now I am qualified to change it radically" attitude is well-established in the Lisp community (yes I know Steve Yegge is a veteran lisper, but this still applies, especially to some of the othe

I agree, JavaScript development can be maddening, even with (and because of!) helpful plug-ins like Firebug. Lispers spoiled by swank/slime in emacs may like https://github.com/ivan4th/swank-js as a JavaScript dev environment.

It surprises me that important contributors like technomancy would not have some additional priority or clout. Without leiningen I doubt we would see one tenth of the explosion of interesting activity going on in the community. That said,

This article is a couple years old. The author probably would have tried Clojure for his foray into Lisp had this been written today.

It's written in Java, so can be trivially ported to Clojure and made incrementally more Lispish, no? The kernel is still Linux but that could be fixed too, why not?

However, in addition to the observation that the communication modes or skills differ, the author makes the claim that the development of one mode/skill will produce deficiencies in the other. I don't think the author provides sufficient e

The power of editing and revising printed text with a keyboard is not something that can be easily duplicated using voice. Consider trying to write code in this way. It's easy to say words but faster to type when you need custom spellings a
