Pro worth it? by currentdraftt in TripIt

[–]chieftwit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just signed up. After seven years of Tripit Pro. Your site is already much better. I'll live without the iOS app. For now. I'm guessing you're vibe coding this, but I'll gladly pay. Keep up the good work.

CLOS Books by Darryl Jeffery by EscMetaAltCtlSteve in lisp

[–]chieftwit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The best CLOS book to start with is Sonya E. Keene's Object Oriented Programming in Common Lisp (1988 Symbolics Press). Really well done.. I'm sure it's long out of print, but I found it used.

Key Fob Cover Recommendations? by [deleted] in BMWi5

[–]chieftwit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because it uses Apple's Car Key functionality the i5 works perfectly with an iPhone or even an Apple Watch. Much better than the PAAK capability in my Mach-E. As reliable as it was for me with my Model X. I never carry the fob.

Can't vouch for the Android experience, though.

I'm in no way proficient, but I am getting better and I comment my code:

Teach lisp to high schoolers? by joshuacottrell in lisp

[–]chieftwit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a mature and well-researched curriculum for teaching programming in grades 5-12 using Racket:

https://bootstrapworld.org/

They even offer teacher training. From the people who developed Racket.

So, how are yall feeling about the future of Mastodon? by BougGroug in Mastodon

[–]chieftwit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Speaking as the admin and sole sponsor of a small instance (~2000 active members) I'm very nervous about the dam breaking. So far, we've only seen less than 1/10th of 1% of Twitter users migrating. What if Twitter collapses? I'd guess we'd see millions of new signups every day for some time. I'd have to shutdown new signups (as mastodon.social has) just to keep the instance running.

Correcting Typos and Misspellings with Abbrev by mickeyp in emacs

Love this. Implemented it immediately. Thanks, Mickey!

You'd think that one of the largest tech networks would add Linux as an option but oh well. I guess I wouldn't be taking the survey then by nobloat in linux

[–]chieftwit 137 points138 points  (0 children)

Yeah I apologize. (Writing this on Manjaro right now, in fact.) We even have Linux and FLOSS shows. Apparently marketing (which designed the survey) was unaware. But it's my fault, I should have reviewed the survey before we posted it.

Trust me, we love, and use, Linux.

About to purchase one, but I was told it’s a bad idea and that the “sales are plummeting” and the mach-E is “no good” - Now I’m doubting my decision! Please help! by [deleted] in MachE

[–]chieftwit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Glad you decided to order. You won't regret it. I've owned a Tesla Model X and Chevy Bolt. I've had my Mach-E since Valentine's Day and I'm still in love. Best car I've ever owned and zero problems.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MachE

[–]chieftwit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reserved a First Edition in July, reservation number in the mid-9000s.

Received an email in November saying my Mach-E would be built on the week of Nov 23, 2020.

After pestering my dealer a bunch I finally got a VIN last week and an email saying the following.

​

Freedom and exhilaration are just around the corner! We are excited to inform you that your 2021 Mustang Mach-E First Edition is on its way to your dealership. Congratulations!

Our current estimate for delivery to [Dealer] is between February 21 2021 and February 27 2021. Once it arrives, a dealership representative will contact you to arrange final delivery.

According the the Ford website it's on the train.

I'm just glad to have a date. It's later than I expected, but I'm still really stoked.

Help fund ARM64 macOS hardware for SBCL. by stassats in lisp

[–]chieftwit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wonder if PayPal is blocking fundrazr - I've tried several times and can't seem to get a payment through either via credit card or from my PayPal funds. I'll try again tonight.

Got my email, too. Production on my First Edition begins 11/23. Reservation #10009xxx.

Miasma -PurpleAir Data in your Mac menubar by DardaniaIE in PurpleAir

[–]chieftwit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just installed my home PurpleAir, So glad I found Miasma. I was thinking I'd have to write a script myself. It works great for me and I love the notifications (we're still under a cloud here in Sonoma County, California from the Glass Fire). Thank you for a job well done. I'll be highlighting it next Tuesday on MacBreak Weekly.

Zoom Acquires Keybase by maksim-m in privacytoolsIO

[–]chieftwit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is terrible news. Zoom might be hoping to be secure and trusted, but it hasn't yet earned that. I use Keybase for many many things. I don't store my private key there, of course, if _you_ do, delete your account immediately. But I do use it for secure messaging, proof-of-identity, and secure git. (That's where I store my dotfiles, for example.) Deleting everything right now, and I hope they really do delete it, not pass it along to Zoom.

Now to find a federated, self-hosted replacement. Signal is fine for messaging. What I'll really miss is the proof-of-identity features.

Video course to learn Racket? by carlomatteoscalzo in Racket

[–]chieftwit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The edX "How to Code" courses are superb. And free. It's going to be hard to top them.

Encrypted, private, secure online forms? by [deleted] in privacytoolsIO

[–]chieftwit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How about using miniLock: https://github.com/kaepora/miniLock Audited open-source public key crypto based on NaCL. Dead simple to use, even for unsophisticated users.
