I've moved to @sigue , mostly because it has a bigger character limit per post.

Some guy in Texas with the same name as me just signed up for a cheesy dating site. Good luck, buddy. I'm rooting for ya.

(Though if he can't even type his email address correctly I have my doubts.)

in/on is a mighty fine distinction, especially if you're not a native English speaker. With this in mind, I propose the following....

(loop for c being the conses of ...)

Yes, it's a joke.

Slightly different, but related topic: this would be a lot nicer than the current mess of hash-value and hash-key loop constructs:

(loop for k => v in table ...)

Whoa...switching fedi instances is SUCH. A. PAIN.
@sigue yes, one could see experiments in making generic functions faster since a few years. I find that very interesting, That's also good to see that the European Lisp Symposium attracts such talks & papers. #lisp and #commonlisp users should be aware that the ELS is taking place once a year. Next time it is in Vienna/Austria May/2024. https://european-lisp-symposium.org

I've decided a 500 character limit is too small. Where should I go?

Mostly interested in server longevity and stability. For content, I lean to programming, politics. And dogs. We can't forget the dogs.

It's weird to think that Massachusetts has a bigger population than Denmark, Finland, Ireland, and various other European countries .... for some reason those countries have a bigger footprint in my mind than, say, Rhode Island or Connecticut.

mmm. deep thoughts....yeah.

This is what it's like to work at Google. https://youtu.be/3t6L-FlfeaI?si=NFk_Ge17RGSxezVA

This video is over 10 years old. I didn't know it was available publicly. Many of the systems it talks about are obsolete, but they're replaced by newer systems and procedures that are still extremely Broccoli Man.

It's funny because it's true.

I just want to serve 5 terabytes.

They waived the fee to do a wire transfer. \o/ Then the transfer didn't go through and they froze all our accounts. Boo. It took us 2.5 hours to get our accounts unfrozen and the wire transfer didn't go through so we're back at square one.

Not good, guys. Not good.
