CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@susam very cool that you included the OPML list at the end.

@wrog@mastodon.murkworks.net my instance has a 5000 character limit, but I rarely type that much. Most of my posts are three or four paragraphs. I could probably make do with 2500 characters, but it is nice to have a little extra space so I don't feel like I have to watch the character counter so closely. And I have space to write in complete sentences, to include example code, paste long URLs, and quote parts of other posts inline. @cy@fedicy.us.to @screwlisp@gamerplus.org @mousebot@todon.nl @cdegroot@mstdn.ca @kentpitman@climatejustice.social @dougmerritt@mathstodon.xyz

@pfr A couple examples of excellent talks:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tdwr9tweTDE- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HB5TrK7A4pINext, some street preacher shit with a side does of wrath: "Let Over Lambda" by Doug Hoyte https://letoverlambda.com/ it a truly daunting book about the power and dark magic which is known as Lisp Macros. This will bend your brain.Finally the obligatory mention of Paul Graham's "On Lisp" https://paulgraham.com/onlisp.htmlI have not read that, but it is well received by Important People. Graham was already way too culty by the time I knew about this book. My first encounter with him was the plan for spam, which was good, but had that culty vibe. Then YCombinator occurred, and the rest is the history of the end of the world.Many other commentators are probably worth your time. I saw someone mentioned Steve Yegge but I wouldn't go near him at all - he has shown to be a dribbling buffoon in recent times. Call that my wrathful contribution to a possible schism.HTH
