In reaction to the recent news that Google plan to shut down Google Podcasts and roll it into YouTube Music, I made a couple of comments on the announcement. I realized that I should probably share them here as well. Any further thoughts will be shared in separate posts. Source: 8 months ago

I had no idea that the Panama Canal required fresh water. Peak price being paid for canal passage is $900k https://podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly92aWRlby1hcGkud3NqLmNvbS9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcy93c2ovd2hhdHMtbmV3cw%3D%3D&episode=YjkxMGQxZWUtNTYwYy0xMWVlLWEwODMtZmI4Mjg3NjRmN2U3. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

I've tried: - Restarting my phone - reinstalling Google podcasts - Using my second Google account (same thing) - Trying from https://podcasts.google.com/ on my Desktop. Source: 11 months ago

Do any of you guys have issue with the podcasts.google.com when trying to listen to podcasts? When I try to press "subscriptions", "queue" or any other parts of the left menu I can't seem to be able to press them! It's almost like they're not there. The only part on the left side that I can press is the hamburger icon at the top of the left corner.. Source: about 1 year ago

Thanks to those suggesting other Art-like podcasts, I will check them out. The best Art Bell podcast archive I have found is titled "art bell tape vault" even has a website. The audio quality of that archive seems the best too. I use podcasts.google.com to listen to them. Source: about 1 year ago

Tangential: if we're talking Lisp and native code speed, Steel Bank Common Lisp (by default) compiles everything to machine code. [0] https://sbcl.org. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

Q5: Get http://sbcl.org/. Install https://quicklisp.org/. SBCL is the implementation that's the lowest friction, and Quicklisp is a package manager that's almost* painless. Source: about 1 year ago

That is what we do in Lisp. Try sbcl if you haven't tried it yet. Source: about 1 year ago

I want to add the sbcl-doc subpackage (the manual for SBCL in GNU Info format), but first I need to understand how to write package definitions. As far as I understand there are the "templates" which are shell scripts that describe how a package is to be built and installed, and xbps-src is a shell script which can process these templates to actually carry out the work.

> Lisp looks like Python, that's far from C, and usually it's a "interpreted" language, far from machine the currently most popular Common Lisp implementation is based around an optimizing native code compiler. That compiler has its roots in the early 80s. See https://sbcl.org . It's far away from being 'interpreted'. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
