I never said I liked the future, but it is what it is. If you're building products without LLMs today you're going to get outcompeted by people who do, and can iterate faster. I have written a fair bit of lisp and when it isn&#

"Lisp" refers to several different languages in the same family, which contributes to the confusion. Perhaps the default choice is Common Lisp which itself is specified in an ANSI standard and has several competing implementations

by stackghost 1mo ago
I really enjoy writing lisp but the ecosystem of libraries is a barren wasteland. Try to find a TLS library for Common Lisp that doesn't rely on openssl, for example. Last time I looked the most mature library was marked 'experim

Why engage with the substance of my comment when you can be pedantic am I right?

Some of us use em-dashes habitually, and did so before LLMs. Call it le ponctuation juste .

If a Raspberry Pi had industrial environment ratings and was certified hard real time, then yes it could be considered a PLC. All the ones I've encountered in the wild ran VxWorks

... yes, I understand. There's nothing novel here. I feel like I'm taking fucking crazy pills.

Not with steak. That has been thoroughly debunked over and over. Just use a meat thermometer, it makes it easy peasy.

The problem with a reel mower is that if you let the grass get too long the reel mower won't cut it, so you pretty much have to do it every few days when it's growing fast.

Depends where you live, what season, and what equipment. I live in the PNW where the grass grows crazy fast in the spring, and I use a reel mower since my yard is small. It needs to be done regularly, and I'm not even a "lawn guy

There's always Full Disclosure, I suppose. I would imagine that open discussion and disclosures have moved underground to closed groups.

>All you did was waste three times the gas. They don't mean do all those cuts each time you mow. You mow the grass in one direction one day, and then a few days later when it needs cut again, you mow a different pattern.

Police officers are also statistically more likely to abuse their spouses. Don't let the women you care about get involved with cops.

Legally, perhaps. Behaviourally not so much, in my experience.

That's definitely an option, though I prefer to just put a README. No reason you couldn't have the default make target just execute `cat README.md`

It's an 18 year old kid talking up their accomplishments two years ago on Twitter. When I was 18, I also thought I was hot shit. No surprise they're being self-aggrandizing.

I do this with plain ol' makefiles. Even for projects where Make isn't part of the build pipeline, like Rails or C++, I have a standardized makefile I put in the project root, using includes for "secrets.mk", so I can do
