Apple is no different - now they have more pressure to maintain their growth in bottom line, they are doing more and more of this stuff

The App Store is a joke.

All that said, it’s still currently way better than other big tech - but I am not blindly accepting their behaviour, for now its good enough for me but that can change in the future

Buy for 10 years (assuming .com)

Good point

Reddit is getting / is pretty good in my opinion

Very cool stuff, I feel like I need to definitely learn Kotlin more now

Swift + Kotlin + Java + C + JS + Lisp + C++ should have you covered for most things

Congrats and well deserved

That’s a shame…it was the most annoying thing about Quora to me.

As a Medium writer, I’m annoyed now! They already stopped paying me my ~0-10$ per month because I refused to beg everyone to get to their new minimum 100 followers requirement for getting paid.

Makes sense

I was thinking about this. I think its okay to be the index if it means you only need to spend a couple of minutes digging out the link and sending to them vs recreating the full explanation each time

Good to see it has VIM bindings.

But without an Emacs like Lisp Machine, no can do ;)

Lisp has it done right (recommended reading for all):

Thanks!

That means Arc is more successful than most lisps

Why? I thought they go hand in hand

Fantastic article, recommend to everyone to read

Inflation is too high currently (no surprise), so they need something to distract the masses with

Agree

Basically this

Although a huge ParEdit fan (LW has a primitive copy of it now), I tend to agree that some of the more advanced structural editing concepts are not that necessary. The basics LW already has

That said, I find Emacs to be a powerhouse, stable text editor. LW has a decent editor, but it is really hard to get to the same level of Emacs in many of the smaller aspects that you end up taking for granted and don’t want to do without

Anything in particular? Its something I have searched the web before, but not much information on the topic

I am working on some tools to make LispWorks easier for Emacs users, watch this space in the next few months as I finalise it.

I tend to find LW users are very comfortable with their IDE, however coming from an Emacs World, I struggled a bit.

However once I get all my best parts of Emacs into LW, I will be very happy as it is written completely in CL and together with CAPI and the readily available source code for its Editor, it can do a lot more than Emacs for Lisp Development

Lisp Works is way better than SBCL ;)

Its just that open source communities have the most vocal proponents, but the closed source users tend to keep quiet and just get to work. Generalizing to some degree of course

And SBCL comes from CMUCL, most of the best parts of it are from that stellar implementation

Indeed, this is one of the bigger problems. Big Tech have normalised a situation where free (but you pay for it in other ways) or misleading SaaS (total cost much higher, although cheaper in the short run) are dominant and smaller developers struggle to compete against this

That looks damn good!

Thanks, this was a good post and worth skimming through all the other nonsense to get to

Thanks for sharing, very useful read.

Yeah, I can see that angle. I can imagine most VCs would say the same thing “we don’t micromanage, its your company, but we will try to give you good ideas”

Aren’t these two points in contradiction with each other? Also not a good sign when adverts (this basically is one) hit the front page of HN

Founders may be sick of “hands-on” investors. Part of Tiger’s pitch is that it will be an unobtrusive capital partner. That approach runs counter to industry norms as most firms compete to demonstrate a willingness to roll up their sleeves and help. The fact that so many founders find Tiger’s laissez-faire attitude attractive exemplifies the lack of trust many have in VC’s value propositions.

Hedge fund managers can bring novel perspectives to startups. Though perhaps less visionary than their venture capital counterparts, some founders find the detail and rigor of hedge fund managers’ thinking refreshing.

Exactly! Add Apple to the bunch too. (Good) Regulation is required now

Awesome stuff!
