>Get rid of any keybinding or UI convention that is there because that is the way they did it the AI Lab in 1967. Make the UI as familiar to the average computer user as possible (but keep the general design of a large rectangle of text) by using mainstream conventions (which come mainly from the Mac and Windows) for how to respond to this or that keypress or to clicking or dragging with this or that mouse button.

I would like to continue the discussion on ocicl and qlot here.

Ask HN: Whats the difference between qlot vs. ocicl? (SBCL package managers)

Let's make orwell fiction again.


the point is that both perspectives are important and helpfull. you shouldnt ignore either side. however destructive behavior can evolve from both.


I choose atheism when 16 and rediscovered religion at 35. How? whats the difference between a religion and believing in atheism, psychology, social science? in this sense i overcame atheism and started looking at the interesting concepts of religions, introduced geografically and sequentially in time. naturally i decided to dig deeper in my cultures religion at hand instead of idealising the grass is greener far away. my conclusion is that sciences and religions is just a approach to understand and model the world. it would be stupid to ignore the knowledge embeeded in both and there are wrong conclusions embedded that are not easy to identify in both. maybe it seems easier to identify them with! science but still social "science" nowadays seems to me not much more like a new cult trying new approaches challenging thousand year old cults and knowledge embedded in their religion. Like a kid who challenges the parents. In the end it's a natural selection process that will decide what knowledge / models survive through time. Isn't it a beautiful creation process. No need to condemn either approach. The Bible teaches, you shouldnt use gods name in vain. Exodus 20:7. Isnt it true for science, too?


i feel you bro. its easy to understand other peoples point of view and at the same time seeing what their viewpoint misses. again beeing aware that myself is limited too. it thought me beeing empathic with everybody but beeing able to say not my point of view. i guess its called becoming wise. since its a pattern of aging which you can do ofcause with different style, i recommend reading into anthroposophical-biography-work to understand the patterns of human morphing thru life. I am happy that I was blessed to learn about it. Now over 50 I still can recommend digging into it. Best age is around mid 30 to grasp what's ahead. E.g.

Never heard it said this clearly

Hm, I wonder if the authors fine-tuned the feature set (and font size!) to achieve this outcome :-)


did he know the question to finetune too?


Maybe I am stupid but what's the point in reimplementing lisp in lambda? Just to prove how beautiful simple lambda calculus is? The lambda functionality is allready in lisp. And lisp is beautiful simple!

() is nothing and (is something) What does the implementation show more beautiful than that?


Binary Lambda Calculus is indeed beautifully simple [1]. LISP is rather complex by comparison, but then it's full-fledged non-esoteric programming language.

We do what we must because we can.


What's the point? US and UK keep Julian Assange in one, too. Moral superiority of the west was lost back then. This loss of trust in democracy is hard to reverse.if someone challenges the narrative to much,there is not much difference in treating political prisoners between east and west.you will be hunted down and screwed. Guantanamo still exists by the way. Europe keeps silent.
