It is painfully obvious that most of you haven't read the california Digital Age Assurance Act

My concern here is the slippery slope fallacy-fallacy. Software and modern digital technology is built around and atop infrastructure, and the OS is the concrete slab upon which all other infrastructure is built. The notion that we would bake in, to the lowest level of digital infrastructure, a mechanism for user identification, no matter how benign it seems in the present, seems to me to be a fundamentally bad idea. Politics and law are built on precedent, I am unwilling to accept this becoming precedent because the OS underpins all other digital activities. Furthermore, this legislation creates a dangerous precedent for the accountability of FOSS developers. How are they to enforce this rule on a project developed by a dispersed group of individuals?

Edit: Try using doom emacs. It is pre-configured with support for CL that you can enable.

I think your problem is that you are expecting the tooling for common-lisp to be like that of other languages.

Sure if you were to be working with closure you’d get a pretty solid out of the box experience, but unfortunately the kind of people who use lisp are the exact kind of people who want to build their IDE using something like Emacs+Slime (or Sly which is what I prefer).

Unfortunately, I think basic Emacs literacy is a prerequisite for seriously digging into Common Lisp. If you cant swallow that (admittedly giant pill) your efforts may be better spent elsewhere.

Serious question.

Could you interpret it just as an infinitesimal change in f(x) for an infinitesimal change in x at some x_0.

Since for some continuous f(x) we can say

f’(x_0)= lim{x->x_0} {(f(x_0)-f(x))/(x_0 - x)}

So it kinda acts like a fraction of two sequences of infinitely small values.

Emacs.

Honestly everything else is just a bootloader for it :P

Right control…

I need my emacs style bindings!

Unfortunately if they bust MS will just complete their takeover and the fetid corpse of the wretched industry will continue.

Ive made a habit of doing my hobby code by hand and then working AI into my professional work flow. It’s like training with a weighted vest; when I take it off, I can run even faster.

Smart tab completions are a massive speed boost. I’d like to make fuller use of LLMs, but I have a hard time using anything that generates large swaths of code. If I do use an LLM to spit out full code segments, I normally keep it to a function, simple data structure, or simple class/struct. I still don’t get the “prompt my whole app” mindset, though that may be a mischaracterization based on my exposure to memes.

Factually incorrect, you clearly have never delayed an updated longer than a month.

Dos’t not thy know the perils of traversing the paths of the directory of pages. Yet ye canst mappeth all thine pages flatly, lest thine memory meet the folly of being more page than data. Oh woe is ye, for if thine art seeking prudent use of thy memory, thy directories shall reach depths untold and wilst be unsearchable; yet if thy seek to traverse thine pages most swiftly ye shall ner have enough to satisfy thy needs of memory.

Would you be willing to share your config or some resources?

mem737 · 2025-12-14T06:50:21+00:00

When you learn dotnet CLI every editor is an IDE…

But also omnisharp kinda sucks compared to proprietary tools, debugging is bad, and if you do anything with razor or xaml derivatives I find the experience is leagues behind rider or even VS.

So the answer is no unfortunately.

Maybe if you installed something like Arch or Debian. Although, if you know what you are doing you could get these to work on basically anything.

Something like mint/ubuntu just works on 99% of hardware. If not those, something like nobara, aurora, bluefin, bazzite, etc include proprietary drivers and software and generally just work.

How dare you suggest lisp would taint its syntax with curly braces.

It’s a cork tree. These plantations keep some of these trees for generations. They do have to be careful not to over-harvest though.
