I've been trying to work on longer #blog posts but I am at a bit of a loss as to start.

I don't know much about #blogging on the creator side, and I am also unsure as to how to promote it without sounding more like an obnoxious #socialmedia person.

I lived under a rock, only used #youtube and #reddit for watching stuff, music, and talking to strangers.

Discovered the #fediverse when I got perma banned from Reddit.

I have #medium but unsure of it.

#fedihelp and #advice !

This is a good piece on #Flipboard joining the #Fediverse.
nytimes.com/2025/03/06/technol

It touches on #Ghost, #Medium, and #WordPress too, but not traditional #publishers. 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?

Mike McCue, the chief executive of Flipboard, sees its new Surf browser as a tool to help internet users communicate without relying on a single centralized service.

@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.

medium.com/@screwlisp/lisp-cod

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

An emacs window. It's an orgmode document, where the lisp form '(let ((count 0) (stream t)) (lambda () (print (incf count) stream)))) has been turned into a lower triangular matrix of lisp atoms organized by a column of dots following a cell containing opening brackets.

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)

Repl output of length 100 - numbers - (fizz) generalized bools - (buzz) generalized bools and a tiny declarative fizzbuzz solution in a lisp repl.

Really a mixture of three things:
1. Some (not very long history) historical notes about superior lisp interaction with inferior lisp
2. Some emacs shortcuts I use a lot
3. Interatively changing names used or setqing values and retrying in the interactive debugger - slime's exposure of advanced lisp debugging features

Several popped up panes deep of lisp debugger interactions in slime in emacs

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)

Medium.com says it's possible to read my article in two minutes. Feel free to respond with the number of minutes it took you.

I have just published my first short #story on #medium and I picked one of my most personal stories.

I wrote this a long time ago, when I was in a life like this. It's very difficult for me to even read or edit, because I cry every time.

I cried typing it up.

I still am as I type this.

If you're sensitive to #abuse topics then maybe skip this one.

But read it if you like, I wrote it just for you.

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... The rest of their portfolio is here: https://a16z.com/portfolio/ It also includes weapons and defence tech in the name of "American Dynamism." #a16z #andreessenhorowitz #techfascism #MAGA #AmericanDynamism

#commonLisp #formattedOutput annotated examples and #programming #tutorial .
I use format a lot in my #lisp codes, so to ameliorate the this-looks-crazy feelings common lisp formatted output induces, I wrote this #printing #medium #article :

medium.com/@screwlisp/introduc

I'm also trying out directly sharing #emacs #orgmode markdown blocks, since Medium hasn't achieved common lisp syntax highlighting yet.

An emacs window: ** How do I say this number #+begin_src lisp (format nil "~r" (random 100000)) #+end_src #+RESULTS: : forty thousand six hundred ninety-four * format iterating over lists #+begin_src lisp :results output (format t "~{~a~}~%" '(1 2 "3")) (format t "~{~a~^-~}~%" '(1 2 "3")) (format t "~@{~3,1,3,'~@a~^ ~}~%" 1 2 "3") (format t "~{~{~a~^,~}~%~}" '((0) (1 2) (3 4 5))) #+end_src #+RESULTS: : 123 : 1-2-3 : ~~~1 ~~~2 ~~~3 : 0 : 1,2 : 3,4,5 * Custom format functions using ~/package:function/
