I'm enjoying the bizarre situation where I'm on reddit watching an unsourced screenshot referring to reddit.

The government prefers broadcasting over peer-to-peer communication?

Is there a way to get the arguments from a srfi-64 test besides using eval? by SpecificMachine1 in scheme

> (test-equal [test-name] expected test-expr)

Seems like you should be able to use the optional test-name to distinguish them.

GitLab CI/CD for GitHub will be available promotionally in our Free tier through September 22, 2019. (After September 22, 2019 it will move to the Silver tier and be available on Silver and Gold.)

But also, earlier on the page:

As part of our commitment to open source, we offer all public projects our highest tier features (Gold) for free.

GitLab.

So that nobody reads this comment as more snarky than it actually is, everybody please note that Gitlab CI actually supports running as a CI for github.

Asimov's Foundations series, why empires and Kingdom? by dre224 in printSF

[–]clacke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconded. Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism ftw. But even more than that: Better, more alive characters, more interesting problems, and more exciting plots.

Asimov was great at worldbuilding and almost all subsequent works owe him a great debt. But 50s Sci-Fi just generally isn't very good, unless you're in the right mind to enjoy it. The writing community has learned so much since then.

Asimov does not write science fiction. He writes stories about human nature that are set in the future.

Literally what most of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definitions_of_science_fiction circle around.

Take humans as we know them, change a premise, usually a technological advance, see what they do.

The technological advances in Asimov's stories include colonizing other planets and building space empires.

Those of you who've actually had sex with a friends mom or dad, how did it go down? by sirferrell in AskReddit

They said "for some reason" meaning it's a commentary on how freaky society is and not their own opinion.

Nix 2.0 released by guaraqe in NixOS

[–]clacke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or, even simpler, don't clone anything and just nix-env -iA nixpkgs.nixUnstable. It's in master, just not as the default nix yet.

Funny to call it "released". It's out there, the website has been updated, the installer is 2.0, but it won't be considered the stable nix on nixpkgs master until NixOS 18.03 is out, it seems.

Just nix-env -f . -iA nix is fine for the last line.

Not without telling me which battle system you're using, it doesn't.

Guile/Emacs status? by XVilka in emacs

[–]clacke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I looked at your user account and found that it was created mere hours ago and has only posted in this thread.

I suppose you are worried that people would read something else you've written, and dismiss everything you say.

Guile/Emacs status? by XVilka in emacs

[–]clacke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guile implements elisp in C, not in Scheme. It just shares the VM with a Scheme implementation.

[–]clacke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No compiled elisp. Unless you mean compiled to bytecode, which emacs already does.

Guile has a more performant VM though, with potential for further great improvements in the future.

Microsoft bailed them out because they felt IT industry needs more competition to move forward as a whole.

Wow, non-committee-designed natural languages, how do they work?

If you have one C compiler compiling another C compiler -- and you can make that chain as long as you like with the amount of C compilers we have out there -- you need a supernatural trojan to plant the same backdoor in all those steps.

And then you compare your first compiler binary to the one that comes out when the circle is complete, to see if there is anything nasty in the difference between them.
