Nobody except you, morbius (right now), boomzilla, drjones, me (even if i posted about 1x a month over a 6 year period on CS), mott, pjh, and I'm missing quite a few more.
I'm also from the old forums.
With psychiatry, it's failure after failure: lobotomy, electroshocks, Freud's crap... All shrinks seem to do is serve as over-educated priests and chose a new set of mental disorder words now and then, once the old ones become insults.
They also drug you into zombiedom.
But I don't want them to. I want them to give me the best information they have so I can do it
You mean to tell me you have time for another time sink besides WTDWTF?
Yes, that's just one of the benefits of being divorced with no kids.
So raid your lockbox and get the gift card? I don't mind paying them 10% to count my loose change that was sitting around gathering dust. If you know someone who will do it for free, I'd like to hear about it.
I really tried to think of one, but I can't find a downside about this scenario.
Are there any girls that you wouldn't want to see in short skirts?
True, and that could be part of @cartman82's point.
Not to worry, the pedants at reddit have it covered:
It's impossible to write a EBNF-like grammar for Markdown because of Markdown's requirement that anything should be a valid input.
any_input = . any_input | epsilon
Now that's out of the way…
like Blakey, I don't feel the need to use ancient commandline apps for my text editing.
Yet you first mentioned Slackware as one of the distros you wanted to try.
no, but you haven't made any argument, except that I'm missing out on the greatest deal of a lifetime and should act now before I miss out. Sorry, but that isn't going to work. What features am I getting?
Maybe he thinks non-technical people won't realize that they can just click on the X in the upper right corner of the nag dialog box?
I put a lot of effort into forgetting them, and now it's all wasted. Thanks a lot.
What does that have to do with it being not an option?Look, you said gibberish nonsense. Just fess up to it. It's clear there was no rational thoughts in your brain at the time you typed it, stop confirming it via "hoping we're too stupid to forget what you typed" and just admit to being an idiot. Save us all a bit of time.
You may as well go buy a lottery ticket. Your chances would be better.
That would be a waste of perfectly good pork shoulder.
I was thinking the same thing at first, but realized there's irony value in beating a politician with the thing he voted to tax.
This should be a poll. For science (and stuff)!
My vote is also for Lisp, but more against government fuckwits who don't have to deal with the consequences being in charge of software.
Attempts at new dialects have either died on the vine (e.g., Arc, NuLisp) or ended up in a tiny niche of a tiny niche (Clojure). It is hard to say where the failures lie, though, Is it really that language that has failed, or the implementations that support it? I am hoping against hope that it is more the former than the latter.
The question which should be occurring to you at this point (but most likely isn't) is: what makes you think that your new dialect would succeed? What will you do that the others didn't? What will you do differently?
Have you considered the possibility that the reason new Lisp dialects don't get off the ground is because the vast majority of programmers don't want to use Lisp? And when I suggest that they don't want to use Lisp, I mean it. They don't want to use any Lisp, no matter how many libraries are available, no matter how slick an IDE you provide, etc., etc.. Think about this if you move forward with the new dialect. Most of the reasons people give for not using Lisp are really excuses.
Why not do real art? Because that takes talent and technique, which I have little of.
It doesn't take as much talent as you would think, unless you want someone to buy the results. Getting more technique requires mindful practice.

s this because I am not used to so many fucking parantheses ? I find it mentally hard to match each them in my head.
Matching parentheses in your head is . The editor should be able to do it for you. If it can't, find another editor.
If anyone wants to start a flame war off this, please take it to the appropriate thread; I'm just here to post this article that seems like it was tailor-written to annoy @boomzilla.
After decades of the media telling people that having guns in the house makes them less safe, we shouldn't be surprised that some of them actually believe it.
For what it's worth, the article annoyed me as well. Good trolling.

May 5th to 7th, so the weather will be
Sounds like winter in Texas, which really just means that it probably won't get above 90F (32C). It could be 70, it could be 30, and sometimes both the same day.
Furthermore, while I like functional snippets used here and there, I don't see what I gain by giving up all the super-useful OO and procedural stuff.
This sounds like you have Lisp (was it Scheme?) confused with Haskell. Common Lisp supports both OO and procedural programming, and both are commonly used.
Also Dagoba. Vosges is good, and very creative, but overpriced.
The Unix Way ought to be recognisable to anyone with functional programming language experience: it's just straight function composition. The functions happen to be programs, but the concept is pretty exact.
Which would explain why The Unix Way is universally hated outside of the *NIX world. Most developers don't like functional programming.
This bullshit is what I'm walking about. Blakey says nobody should be excluded from software development and you get to grandma compiling linux. Where did anyone say that knowledge should be instantaneous?
You clearly haven't read enough of @blakeyrat's writings. To be fair, he didn't say it should be instantaneous; he said the software should gently guide you through the rest of what you didn't know. In either case, reading documentation is out of the question, and that Grandma has no idea what a kernel is or what it's for shouldn't be a barrier to her recompiling it.
I'm not so sure... why shouldn't the autopilot catch the issues with the course you're planning and work you through fixing your plan?
Needs more .
You can use whatever Lisp implementation you want, for starters. Also, there's a long track record of people actually using it without the issues you've mentioned. But everything I've read here so far indicates that your objections to Emacs are more ideological than anything else, so I'm muting the thread.
Dude, this attitude is why so many people hate Linux, it's users, it's whole culture. The sarcastic, superior, user mocking tone. "If you have a problem, it's YOUR PROBLEM! Linux WORKS! If you don't like it then GO AWAY!"
I've only seen that attitude from a very vocal minority of the Linux user community, and I suspect much of it is in response to people who don't really want Linux but instead are looking for a free Windows replacement (and yes, @blakeyrat, they do exist) .
We're saying Linux should be usable.
But most won't say it's usable unless it works like what they're used to, which means in practice that it needs to work the same way as Windows.
Nah, they let it ride, because Artificial Barriers to Entry and Official Red Tape and Too Big to Fail.
Under a mixed economy, all successes will be attributed to government and all failures to the market and participants therein.
I think Clojure already is to that point for the real world, more or less.
Agree, and I would say OP's efforts would probably be better directed toward improving the Clojure environment.
Depends on what the other contributors are most used to. I'd say Git if and only if everybody has a client they like and know how to use it without a week of research.
I think I may be misreading this. It looks like you're actually saying that there are people for whom Git is usable.
I must have misunderstood you then. No worries, I'll just go back to not taking you seriously.

Well I think if people are dumb enough to believe that water that looks and tastes awful is fit to drink they're responsible for what happens to their kids from drinking it. Seriously, who trusts Government to tell them what is and isn't safe for their children?
People have been told here for decades that they aren't qualified to decide for themselves what is safe and what isn't, so it's not surprising that they would rely on Government to tell them.

Don't bother. They'll assume you're a conservative regardless, since you don't agree with them.
