New series on #BBC #TV - "Paranormal"
Episode 1 in which someone pretending to be a journalist pretends to be surprised that lots of desperate people might have been taken in by someone short of cash pretending to communicate with the dead *during a world war*.

Warning to the feeble-minded: Some scenes are accompanied by traditionally spooky sounds which might scare you a bit.

Well well well.. Doesn’t that look like censorship?

My Medium digest gives me a title: ”Tesla Optimus Robot Is Dead On Arrival”

Opening the title gives me: ”410 - This account is under investigation or was found in violation of the Medium Rules.”

Appears the internet media establishment is scrambling to bend over backwards for the tech oligarchy.

This is a good piece on #Flipboard joining the #Fediverse.

It touches on #Ghost, #Medium, and #WordPress, and doesn't mention traditional #publishers. But it makes me wonder. Will traditional publishers ever join the Fediverse? What will it take to persuade to them try, even as an experiment? Who will go first? How can we help?

@screwtape You're forgiven. It just surprised me. The question was really why #medium specifically? How were you hoaxed and why persist after discovering it's all #seo optimization (sic) and monetization adjacent blether? Actually just a test of this url - medium.com/@ratxue/congratulat

Strongly worded #medium #article on #programmingLanguages and #dialogue relating to
@nosrednayduj 's interview today concerning the concerning relative merits of #lisp and #java . Connection to strong echoes of points Masinter made about Medley Interlisp in an earlier interview.

Thoughts, commentary welcome here and on Medium.

@rat this article is specifically addressed to you, if you'll forgive me.

#programming #lowLevel #lisp #commonLisp #article #medium
I wrote a short description of how lisp is coded by writing lisp sequences (lists), and the low level dotted cons view of the lists.

I wrote a funny piece of lisp that outputs a lower triangular emacs orgmode matrix depiction of a lisp form.

Which leaves me wondering, does anyone "use" or otherwise think about (a . (b . NIL)) the dotted cons way of writing lists while programming?

I think it ended up pretty interesting, and what you would expect. The repl is a better interactive experience, but the noweb tangle optimizes in ways the separate repl lines can't, and is already in a disk-persisted file.

Looking forward to feedback and commentary ( @ksaj ;p)

I cover
- getting series and using it in a package
- Series' mapping
- Series' iteration (perform a side effect for the whole series, return nothing)
- Series' alter (in-place destructive modification of its input sequence)

Even if Elon is somehow ousted from this coup, it will continue to roll on and crush everything in its wake. He's only ONE aspect of this, and he's a very loud and obnoxious one which is very much the point. People need to pay attention to Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz. Here's a few of the more recogniseable companies in which they have been involved: SUBSTACK. (for the love of sanity please use a different platform) #Airbnb, #Facebook, #Instagram, X/Twitter, #Pinterest, #Roblox, #Skype, #BuzzFeed, #Groupon, #Imgur, #Reddit, #Slack, #Medium, #OpenAI, #SpaceX and more...
