It's my own experience. Here's an example: I have 2 accounts, one that I use for politics and news, conservative leaning, WSJ, Thomas Sowell, Peter Robinson (Uncommon Knowledge), Kimberley Strassel... that brand of conservatism, n

Indeed I wouldn't dare, I don't follow any progressives (I think), don't read their tweets, don't get the recommendations they do etc. Now I can tell you as a conservative, because I experience it every day.

> I mean, I even disagree that there's major 'anti-conservative' bias at all. Are you a conservative yourself? I'm gonna take a guess that you are not so how would you know? It's a real question, no trick.

I'm implying that twitter favor non-conservative viewpoints, tolerate them because obviously it's good for business, but do whatever they can, without getting caught, to favor more liberal viewpoints.

> "yep, no conservative viewpoints allowed here." At least it'd be clear if they said so, nothing worse than the current situation where they think it but won't say it because it'd be bad for business.

1. Most Americans use at least one of the "big 3" and since they all suffer from the same bias, I call it monopolistic. 2. Yes, I think this website (the users who react to the more political posts at least) penalize conservative

1. Sure, the market will take care of it at some point in the future, but at this point in time those entities are monopolistic. 2. It's simple, liberals are more prone to downvote and censor than conservatives. 3. They reach their fol

If you lock people up in solitary confinement they won't catch it at all. See the problem with your logic here?

Other monopolies don't openly support and promote a liberal agenda like tech companies do in general. They should have stay out of politics.

I'm the grand-parent comment so I feel a bit responsible for where it went so maybe I can clear what I meant here. My view on the question of impermanence has been shaped by buddhism. I'm not a buddhist, I just discovered buddhism

I don't think so. If I remember correctly, this documentary was more focused on the police unit that was in charge of this bridge (could be the Golden Gate, can't remember even if it was in CA now that I'm thinking), and so o

For me, the problem is death is final, while our experience of life is always changing. Reminds me of that documentary I watched about a police officer that was working on that bridge, not sure which, in CA I believe, who have seen a lot of

Go with Emacs + Slime + SBCL, they're very stable on windows, then install Quicklisp: https://www.quicklisp.org/beta and you're good to go.

I have a question: Where is her second leg?

Yes, gotcha now. Data shows that most of the virus propagation happens inside and that, health wise, all that stay at home eating and watching TV will definitely have a cost on health, both body and mental, and still, a lot of people want t

Common Lisp supports live compilation and loading into a running image if this processor has support for it.

Oh then it's interesting because I thought it required to use their IDE. With Emacs/Slime, is it as integrated as with sbcl for example?
29.
by w3mmpp 6y ago
Ah yes, makes sense, I thought it was (only) a web app so I was wondering what benefit LispWorks was bringing. How do you like their IDE compared to emacs/slime?
30.
by w3mmpp 6y ago
Having worked for a long time with emacs and slime, I'd have the opposite fear, to have to develop anything in lisp without them, like this is the case for LispWorks.
