   Google chrome, firefox, edge, ie, opera, are now tracking you.

   ddg is my favorite search engine and it has great restutes. It has a built in video player too! The only problem is that i have to use google in a blue moon to get the results it need. Duckside! Brave! Lunix!

• Uber Migrates 1T Records from DynamoDB to LedgerStore to Save $6M Annually

  Lol I was not being on topic or constructive - just repeating the meme that rust is synonymous with "blazing fast", because of endless statements to the effect of "rust is blazing fast," or "if you want blazing fast code, use rust," or the endless blazing fast rust libraries: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=blazing+fast+rust Now I'm not an expert in either rust or go. But I know my deductive meme logic, and if Uber's... - Source: Hacker News / 6 days ago

• Bountysource Stole at Least $17,000 from Open Source Developers

  There's fraud and embezzlement in non-profits all the time. Just entering that in a search engine shows tons of examples: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=fraud+and+embezzlement+in+non-profits When I was involved in scouts this was a thing as well; not even always due to malice, sometimes also due to incompetence and/or inattention. - Source: Hacker News / 22 days ago

• The Loudest Lisp Program

  > So it's really pick your poison; either the child controls the call, at the risk of doing it wrong or not at all, or it doesn't but then certain things become impossible. CL lets you do both in various ways: the typical way to define a constructor is an :AFTER method that just sets the slots (fields in other languages) of the object and having a lot of behavior in constructors is unusual. You can also define an... - Source: Hacker News / 24 days ago

• The Loudest Lisp Program

  There are a bunch of things to learn from Lisp: * list processing -> model data as lists and process those * list processing applied to Lisp -> model programs as lists and process those -> EVAL and COMPILE * EVAL, the interpreter as a Lisp program * write programs to process programs -> code generators, macros, ... * write programs in a more declarative way -> a code generator transforms the description into... - Source: Hacker News / 24 days ago

• Racket Language

  In respect to Common Lisp, you could look into "Common Lisp Recipes" by Weitz[2], and "Practical Common Lisp" by Seibel[1]. These are industrial-strength systems which were used to built large airline reservation systems. Scheme is in a way more minimalist and Schemes are not as large, but this might also be give an erroneous impression because they build on the enormous experience with Common Lisp and have boiled... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Steel – An embedded scheme interpreter in Rust

  Not exactly what you asked for but, if you have time, I would recommend looking at Practical Common Lisp: https://gigamonkeys.com/book/ And also this blog post (which is a much smaller time commitment): https://mikelevins.github.io/posts/2020-12-18-repl-driven/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Common Lisp: An Interactive Approach (1992) [pdf]

  If someone is considering learning CL effectively, take this piece of advice: use Emacs. You might think that it's an outdated piece of shit, maybe you hate RMS with a passion or whatever. But make yourself a favour and use it at least for the month that will take you to go through a manual like this or Practical Common Lisp or several others. Just install SBCL, QuickLisp, Emacs and SLIME (or Sly, that is a more... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
