Square brackets and curly braces in Common Lisp! :taneŝima_ĝojas:

This makes my heart happy. So happy. Thanks, Paul Graham.

Gotta love how there’s a single nice, modern XMPP client for desktop and its encryption scheme is incompatible with every other XMPP client. Nice things just weren’t meant to be had, were they?

… like kicking a dead whale down the beach.

I kept seeing this phrase on my favorite image-board, and it always seemed so random!

But apparently, it comes from yacc’s author Stephen C. Johnson, while he was complaining about how much it sucks to program for the IBM MVS TSO, ~30 years ago. I never expected it to have any actual history to it!

The business community…

STOP IT

If you speak so vaguely and euphemistically, you are weak. You have a weakness of the spirit, a cowardice that makes you walk on eggshells. STOP IT. BE NORMAL.

Financiers…
Scientists…
Queers…
Queer folk…

Don’t be a coward. Be direct.

UBOOT HAS EMACS-STYLE LINE-EDITING

Another W for the superior bootloader

with no youth and few marginalized people involved.

I really don’t like gesturing like this. No one really cares that random youths aren’t involved, they care that it’s wrong. Don’t gesture, just say what you think: That it’s wrong. Another example, not from this poster…

Anti-abortion legislators are overwhelmingly men, and they have the audacity to make legislation without women’s input?

Like, I get that it’s a nice retort from time to time, but the real issue is that it’s wrong and evil. Women can be wrong and evil, too, but we shouldn’t then say “well, I guess banning abortion is OK, since it’s a woman enacting it.”

I am really liking LXQT!
It feels substantially modular, simple, lightweight, and power-user friendly!
I love seeing an QT desktop that’s independent the behemoth KDE.

Another cute thing: No need to mess with gsettings or some dedicated command to mess with the config of a running system, you can just write to config files in ~/.config/lxqt, and it’ll be applied on-the-fly! Loving it~
