Nimetion Shikosico ​Hello, world! JTim90 $200.00 1. don't worry about last stream mishap. I donate because you did something (or said something) - and not because I want you to answer question etc. question is just in case if you run out of topics. 2. ever hear of sonic pi? your thoughts on music in general? Thank you stalker guo ​is it useful in ndustry Alan W ​diversity UwU Alan W ​fashion OwO lcook ​moin moin Alan o/ Alan W ​👋 @lcook Alan W ​@Xah Lee the proper term is "brogrammer" Alan W ​and they excel at getting venture capital 😛 Alan W ​@Xah Lee is Xah Fly Keys open source? lcook ​My goal is not to improve "society" nor help it, but rather to improve the experience I have with the operating system I proactively use Aaron Hall ​Hey, Xah, can't hang long, how you doing? lcook ​I also don't see any issue in having vested interests when contributing Alan W ​ETHNO-CENTRIC PREFERENCE Alan W ​😲 intrigue!!!!!!! Alan W ​in group preference Alan W ​amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JTim90 ​I kinda feel sorry that I wasn't one of the people who helped you then. but I think money I'm making now is in part thanks to you. emacs really shaped my way of thought JTim90 ​you should also blog in Chinese occasionally - that will expose people like me more into your culture jagen ​and back to lisp jagen ​☯ Alan W ​@JTim90 senpai! tyty for helping brother xah Aaron Hall ​good night! Gotta go! Alan W ​wow look at nice math graphics ads on xah site 😛 jagen ​until you realize you've spend 5 years asking which language you should learn and you don't know any languages Alan W ​@jagen nice dab on language/distro hoppers 😀 倪贵能 ​:yougotthis: Alan W ​JavaScript is practical nowadays too 😛 JTim90 ​are you sure it's helping? I'm not sure. ideally everyone who read Xah Laoshi article donates $1... having $200 is actually worse than 200 donaters with $1 each Alan W ​we need to train brother goo goal to recognize and promote xah laoshi jagen ​but it's a bias of logical ppl not an objective good 😆 JTim90 ​so honestly if I really want to help I'd ask ally friends to donate $1. but instead I'm selfish and just donating $200. which really just makes Xah happy for 1 minute,maybe 2 minutes jagen ​racket2 is called "rhombus" :)) Alan W $8.88 杀哥们儿好 Thanks for your great work, Xah! jagen ​always with the M expressions Alan W ​lol Xah said "side effect" jagen ​beaten over the head with the M expression hammer Alan W ​Functional programing minds are activated Alan W ​Xah probably just likes the name "sexp" 😛 JTim90 ​I promise you emacs changed my view of many things. I read Xah article (let's say 1 hour) then it saves me 5 minutes *every* *day*. you see... so it saved me months of life in total? maybe more JTim90 ​btw I also think Mathematica is shit! they give me 2 weeks trial. but the f*ing thing takes 2 days to download!! JTim90 ​but Wolfram alpha is good no questions Alan W ​@JTim90 I first learned about that in college math class from classmates; how did you hear about it first? Yuqiang Zheng ​Mathematica is my favorite software, but lost many advanced mathematical functions, like Mathematica's NumberFieldClassNumber function only works for quadratic field. JTim90 ​Alan - you wouldn't believe. but I have a homeless friend who is Mathematica fanboy. I learned more about math physics and philosophy from that guy than from anyone else Paul Eduard ​very good topics Alan W ​@JTim90 wow! lol I learned from xah that being interested in math doesn't automatically make you rich jagen ​Oh, that's where sweet reader comes from jagen ​the readable lisp project Paul Eduard ​is there not a mode in emacs to cut out the () 's..? JTim90 ​be careful about getting rich. chase of money occupies your mind. then you forget about your real desires and preferences JTim90 ​I'm trying to prove to myself that money don't take over me. but I think it's winning bit by bit. it's taking over :/ Alan W ​@Xah Lee which LISP variety do you think has been the best marketed? Favorite logo among the lisps? JTim90 ​f*ck academia. most of them are cogs in the system. totally anti-Xah way Paul Eduard ​What!!:shelterin: jagen ​pyret was originally a racket #lang! jagen ​one of my professors made it! JTim90 ​so then: XML --> design patterns --> NoSql --> block chain --> ML/AI. what's next? 😂😂😂 Alan W ​QUANTUM COMPUTING JTim90 ​hahaha how could I forget about that Alan W ​xah is trying to gas light the anons Alan W ​🤔 GrinDeg ​hello everyone Alan W ​👋 Nimetion Shikosico ​fxxking anon here :goodvibes: GrinDeg ​doing great jagen $10.00 More lisp! Racket #langs don't need to have sexpr syntax. You can hook lex/yacc directly into reader for example JTim90 ​hahahaha lol wiki is completely different from what that really is! 😂😂😂 it's all about live music performance - using computer as your instrument. like AbeltonLive Alan W ​beep boop bop 🤖 jagen ​@JTim90 you know about euterpea? JTim90 ​never heard but I'll take a look - thanks! jagen ​poke around here. it's a haskell DSL jagen ​for composing JTim90 ​yeah very interesting. I haven't had much time to devote to Haskell once I started earning money 🥺 jagen ​she has a program where you can trade fours with an AI 🙂 JTim90 ​but I put this on my to-do list jagen ​over an AI generated bassline! jagen ​👍 JTim90 ​trade fours? you mean 4 bars? jagen ​yeah jagen ​I mean you can do something more flexible than that that was just the demo she showed : p GrinDeg ​@Xah Lee what is the best CAS besides mathematica Nimetion Shikosico ​I drink Cocoa jagen ​@Alan W do u even lift Alan W ​i lift state Alan W ​with redux JTim90 ​wow that sounds really interesting. trading 4s is like a conversation so practicing this with computer maybe improves your skills in real life 😁 jagen ​😎 GrinDeg ​😎 jagen ​yes some amazing stuff. she is student of the late paul hudak. one of the original haskell authors! (and secret jazz musician) JTim90 ​that was me on typeraxing This message is held for review. JTim90 ​but I joined 20 seconds late. I'll f**k you all on typeracer hahaha. read the discord blog someone already mentioned that there JTim90 ​so because I joined 20 seconds late... it said 60 wpm. but in reality 120 wpm JTim90 ​I should be more humble sorry JTim90 ​man I don't care about your race. you taught me so many things for free without even asking for anything jagen ​Xah speaks the truth jagen ​@Xah Lee designer of racket was asked "why didn't you write racket for the JVM? It would be popular like colujre is now" he says "I don't want to be popular. I want to be _right_" GrinDeg ​@Xah Lee so you recommend reading SICP? Paul Eduard ​scheme was neat in 1996 when I was in school here in toronto jagen ​they are the idiots smh JTim90 ​ok man I'll join dicsocrd jagen ​matthias jagen ​felleisen jagen ​@Xah Lee jagen ​extremely practical schemer! would agree with you jagen ​100 jagen ​% jagen ​Thanks Xah!
