Anyone around level 10/11/12 interested in playing together?

Summoner c0wbell reporting for duty. Level 12, played for two weeks so far.

Fantastic article. I'm very new to the game, glad to see someone with a level head is interested in teaching players to be better.

Any tutorials for such?

I've always assumed O'Briain was Catholic. What's his religious history?

I spent a lot of time treating this exact problem in a few languages, including CL and Emacs Lisp. Feel free to edit the article; I'm afraid so few people use shebangs, let alone Lisp that I haven't described the problem well.

SBCL provides shebang support as you suggest, but how do you propose to write cross-CL compatible shebangs? If you're using SBCL and I'm using CLISP, and we both want to use shebangs, version control becomes a nightmare.

In particular, because there the CL standard provides no requirements for CLI arguments, SBCL and a few other CLs provide the script name as the first argument, but CLISP and others do not. Furthermore, CL does not provide a standard variable name or function call for accessing CLI arguments. Shebangs are indeed a hack.

I find IDEs get in the way. For instance, I stopped using DrScheme when I found mzscheme too fiddly (it doesn't mzscheme hello.scm by default).

Does Racket now provide such CLI functionality, or is it the same old mzscheme?

Racket supports lazy libraries and typed Racket too.

My Haskell heart started pumping faster. I'll have to look into this, because when I start on a new project I often have trouble deciding between the rigor of Haskell and the dynamism of Lisp.

Yes, everyone suggests the third-party tool Leiningen just to be able to import a class from curdir. Java can do this; why can't Clojure?

I forgot about newLISP. My favorite thing about it is the docs, very well organized and with LOTS of examples of actual function calls. Pretty much the opposite of MATLAB docs.

Yeah, Chicken Scheme's fiddliness seems to be limited to locating the Windows installer (well hidden on their website), and setting up readline.

Hadn't thought of that. There is the terrible learning curve of learning a text-based editor while at the same time learning a new programming paradigm and syntax style, but...

Its practicality can't be denied.

What's the difference between a proxy and a reverse proxy?

According to many Christian biblical scholars, such as Bard D. Ehrman in Misquoting Jesus, the Bible is most definitely not the literal word of God but the haphazard assembly of hundreds of Christian texts, many authored by sects of conflicting beliefs.

My turn. Right now you sound like a redneck.

How old are you?

We clearly have much to learn from your years of wisdom.

How do you feel about flames?

You haven't raised a family or run a company or shot a prowler or kept your marriage together for decades or had a loved one die in your arms as they reached out to Jesus.

These things are irrelevant. If they offered you one iota of wisdom, you wouldn't go around Reddit blasting every minority. Your folk wisdom hasn't taught you manners, and you presume too much. Judge not, lest ye be judged, brother.

If we depart from empirical evidence, then there is no way to decide whether Christianity is true, or Hinduism, or Satanism. Everything becomes equally valid.

Yes, but which prophets? Muslims interpret Jesus as one of those prophets, and nothing more. Who's to say they're wrong?

I do listen to older gents. One of my favorites is Daniel Dennett.

I'm not a pot head, and I don't like South Park. By your age, you should have learned to not pigeonhole people.

No hate here. Windows CLI questions are highly relevant here, since MSDOS can be even more obscure than UNIX.

One solution involves cheating UNIX tools into your command line environment, such as UNIX date and time. Have you considered using Mingw?

The Reddit UI sometimes double posts my comments, too. Grr.
