It's better, perhaps, to link to the parent page:

https://cse.buffalo.edu/~shapiro/Commonlisp/

Shapiro mentions "An even more up-to-date, faster introduction to Common Lisp" therein, if anyone's interested.

I think this is pretty slick, and I give HP credit for coming up with something original.

My main computer is a small form factor PC with a big monitor, but the combination isn't easy to move around owing to the cables, and sometimes I'd like to work in the dining or living room. Something like this would be perfect: just unplug it from the mains, no interruptions. Clever!

Jets fly in the atmosphere, and they use air to burn fuel. Rockets fly outside the atmosphere, so they have to carry oxidizer with them. Rocket planes have existed, but because the have to carry both elements to function, they're limited in how much payload they can carry and how far they can go.

>Open source software can be forked

But that isn't all that took place; please read the linked post.

I think the author's wishes should be respected above all. Don't you?

https://rpilocator.com/ is the primary resource. I see 8-gigabyte Pi 4s available from U.S. vendors at least every two to three days.

Vilros.com isn't on their list of vendors, but they have them, too.

My understanding is that Kolibri is a hostile fork of Menuet, and that Menuet's author closed it in retaliation.

I'm really enjoying your book of essays, So You Think You Know C [PDF]:

Mark Tarver's Shen language embeds a complete implementation of Prolog:

And the chapter from The Book of Shen:

Tarver has written two books with accompanying software on logic programming: Logic, Proof and Computation:

Sacramento has Chocolate Fish Coffee Roasters, founded by two fellows from New Zealand: https://chocolatefishcoffee.com/

Thanks, I emailed him.

dang, could you perhaps insert "[Shen]" in the title?

Fairfield, just to the west of Travis AFB and the property in question, is my hometown, so I'm familiar with the area.

Summers there are hot, and the wind is strong and constant, which is why it's a fine location for airports and wind turbines. How people there are going to tolerate the heat and wind, plus the constant air traffic from the base, is a good question. I expect that if this plan succeeds, there will eventually be pressure to close Travis entirely.

>Were they made of bamboo and canvas?

More like lightweight cotton fabric and steel tubing or Sitka spruce.

I can see it being used to bootstrap OpenJDK, particularly on platforms other than Windows, macOS or Linux.

Thank you for the writeup. I've delayed setting it up, but this is what I needed to get it running.

I used Pine, Vim and the par formatter (like a smarter version of fmt) on a Windows 2000 box years ago. That combination was just enough to make Windows bearable.

Interestingly, for my fellow aviation buffs, the Navy is considering replacing the E-6Bs (built upon old Boeing C-135s—military 707s) with new C-130J planes, with stretched fuselage and those cool scimitar propellers. They're more fuel-efficient, I suspect, and they can operate out of rough airstrips.

Yes, and it's also the home of E6-B Mercury "TACAMO" communications aircraft operated by the U.S. Navy:

This unit pretty much represents the last remaining Navy presence in the Bay Area. Ironic, given the history of the Navy there, beginning with the establishment of the shipyard on Mare Island before the Civil War, and the first Navy radio station on the West Coast in 1904:

In Silicon Valley, it was the combination of Fry's Electronics, Micro Center, Weird Stuff Warehouse and a couple other stores, and the tech bookstores Computer Literacy, Stacey's Books and Digital Guru. The future, unevenly distributed.

No, I love it. I used to have to replace the Micro-USB cable for my old Nexus 6 phone every 9-12 months due to wear on the male connector. My four-year old Galaxy A50 still happily connects to its original cable.

I understand the issues with power delivery, but as a mechanical interface, I think it's great. What's driving your frustration?

Good grief, yes to this. One of my many concerns with EVs is the insistence of automakers to stuff these with surveillance tech. I suspect it's so that Tesla, GM, et al can sell data to marketers.

>What's happening here is that the government is saying to people that they're not allowed to be express themselves.

The ban only extends to flags on city property.

Years ago at my sysadmin job, I thought about having a lapel button made:

Check rpilocator.com--the Zero W has been available in the U.S. for a week as I write this.

The sharpest developers I know went to Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh.

Wikipedia says that vi was first released in 1976.

As described in the Devil manual, you can make the semicolon the active key instead of the comma--you don't even have to leave the home row to trigger commands.
