I hadn't heard of this issue with SBCL before so I went searching for it. I guess you're referring to this: https://log.schemescape.com/posts/lisp/sbcl-file-perf-window... That article points out that the issue arises only on Windows. Do you have any evidence of such an issue on Linux or other OS?

Does it have tail-call optimization? I scanned the docs but don't see it mentioned.

Presumably basing Jolt on Chez removes the limitation of the JVM? It could be an interesting selling point.

Not only that, under rule changes in progress it would not be allowed in Guix, which it would appear to be well suited for.

I would be curious to see such a translation.

Can anyone recommend a straightforward, open-source OAUTH solution to self-host.

Ideally I would like to be able to ask a user for their Google/Microsoft/Apple email address and just drop it into a config file for authorization. The user then autenticates themselves at their G/M/A Id server and gets access. Or is this too simplistic?

ASCII only?

What are you using for Reddit now that they have closed access to their API?

Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) gave a good explanation many years ago already:

Interesting article.

When my Emacs opens a markdown file it immediately converts it into OrgMode format. I find that more readable, more navigable and more editable.

Now I'll have to go and meditate about Emacsification.

Isn't it equally important to ask the question:how exactly can you provide impartial, objective reporting when you can afford the salaries?

Finland was the first country to grant its citizens the right to internet access in law.

Other countries including Spain have laws "ensuring that access is broadly available and preventing unreasonable restrictions."

Something has to give.

That was quick. Just the other day we had "Programming is free"

My own experience over the last few months is quite the opposite so it's heartening to see some reputable Lispers reporting the same in the comments here.

Everything in this area is moving so quickly that I haven't yet crystallized my thinking or settled on a working methodology but I am getting a lot of value out of running Claude Code with MCP servers for Common Lisp and Emacs (cl-mcp & emacs-mcp-server). Among other things this certainly helps with the unbalanced parentheses rabbit hole.

Along with that I am showing it plenty of my own Lisp code and encouraging it to adopt my preferred coding style and libraries. It takes a little coaching and reinforcement (recalcitrant intern syndrome) but it learns as it goes. It's really quite a pleasant experience to see it write Lisp as I might have written it.

GDPR is not a PII law. The term is not mentioned once in GDPR. GDPR speaks of "personal data", which as Wikipedia puts it "is significantly broader".

Is there any indication of what the performance hit for this might be?

You can run it in Racket with the SICP language.

> Almost everything I might achieve with an MCP can be handled by a CLI tool instead.

That's the pull quote right there.

The line that stood out for me was that "a 4-hour session of AI coding is more cognitively intense than a 4-hour session of non-AI coding."

Many programmers are rejecting AI coding because they miss the challenge they enjoy getting from conventional programming but this author finds it even more challenging. Or perhaps challenging in a different way?

The first code example on that page claims to solve "the 3SUM problem".

According to [1], "the 3SUM problem asks if a given set of n real numbers contains three elements that sum to zero."

It's not clear to me what problem the Janet code solves but it's clearly not that 3SUM problem.

On the example input of

    @[2 4 1 3 8 7 -3 -1 12 -5 -8]

it outputs

    @[@[6 1 7] @[2 5 10] @[1 2 9] @[4 6 9] @[3 0 9] @[6 2 0]]

For what it's worth, here's some Common Lisp code that does solve the 3SUM problem in O(n^2).

    (defun 3sum (a)
      (let ((h (make-hash-table))
            (len (length a)))
        (dotimes (i len)
          (setf (gethash (aref a i) h) t))
        (dotimes (i len)
          (dotimes (j i)
            (when (gethash (- (+ (aref a i) (aref a j))) h)
              (return-from 3sum t))))))
    
    (3sum #(2 4 1 3 8 7 -3 -1 12 -5 -8))
    ;; => t

Only partially. At least for my Dutch licence. It contains neither holder's last name nor end date.

It does start with D1NLD. Then a single digit which is not the checksum of the foregoing (using the passport checksum algorithm). Then the document number. Then some letters and numbers I can't make any sense of. It ends with a correct global checksum for all of the foregoing.

Here's a tidied up version of the Python code to generate the MRZ from the passport data. It also corrects a padding error.

My Dutch driver's licence has a single MRZ-like line across the bottom. It seems to encode the country and licence number but I can't make any sense of the rest of the line. Anyone have any leads?
