Google is asking for that (or at least trying to remove Intel ME from their servers in the labs) AFAIK.

JWZ seems to dislike Hacker News for some reason, judging by the redirect.

Smalltalk was never owned by a single company since the first public release in 1980. Common Lisp was born in cooperation between Symbolics, Texas Instruments, Xerox, CMU and was never owned by a single company either. Neither of them exclusively had closed-source implementations.

Is this a true quantum computer? The controversy around D-Wave was confusing.

There is also a writeup on how to run OpenVMS on SIMH VAXserver 3900, a more obscure thing than older Unix installations: https://vanalboom.org/node/18

What was the PhD working on before joining your team?

I guess people are just married to their customized Vim, Emacs, Visual Studio etc. setups which they are using for many years. These Smalltalk-related IDEs are too different and break a lot of old habits.

They can still be shot in the face, stem cells won't help them with that.

Sounds a lot like the name of the Nintendo's gaming console.

Quake 3 Arena is still one of the best multiplayer shooters ever, so I can't agree with your statement.

Is Dan Simmons' Hyperion Cantos hard enough?

Lattice is the only vendor with an open-source toolchain: http://www.clifford.at/icestorm/

The last CPU that was being developed at Symbolics is actually RISC: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolics#Sunstone

The competitor LMI was also developing their next-generation Lisp machine RISC processor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisp_Machines#GigaMos_Systems

More about the latter: http://fare.tunes.org/tmp/emergent/kmachine.htm

John C. Mallery owns the IP of Symbolics right now, as far as I know. Someone mentioned that he had plans to open source it, but it was a long time ago.

I wonder if he really liked Lisp Machine Lisp or ZetaLisp.

Who is even using these browser notifications willingly at all?

Apple doesn't seem to care much about legacy software given their recent history. They could revive their Rosetta binary translator.

No, he is rolling in dough.

The cheapest 3DCoat license prohibits any commercial use. The less restrictive license costs a lot more.

Substance Painter is also a great option for texturing, costs a lot less and is extremely popular among biggest game developers.

Both Lisp Machines Inc. and Symbolics were selling the MIT version before redesigning it into their own brand new products, the LMI-LAMBDA and the Symbolics 3600.

The new authoring tools are already available for Dota 2, you can install them in Steam.

"Warp programs are written in a high level Pascal-like language called W2, which is supported by an optimizing compiler written in Common Lisp. W2 programs are developed in a sophisticated, Lisp-based programming environment supporting interactive program development and debugging. A C or Lisp program can call a W2 program from any UNIX host on the local area network."

Ah, the good old days of the dominance of Lisp in artificial intelligence research.

Well, you can say that Scheme continues in the general spirit of MACLISP, yet we separate them.

No, Racket is a separate language, though it grew out of a Scheme implementation (PLT Scheme) and still includes its predecessor.

What's the general state of the Scheme community? I'm getting the impression that after the backlash against R6RS and R7RS most people moved on to Racket, Clojure, or Common Lisp.

That's Gabriel Laddel's screenshot, he is quite an abrasive fellow but he doesn't represent the entire community.

McClim existed for decades and it's still struggling to become production-ready, a poor example of the "revival".

Our communications must be decentralized as much as possible, if we want to avoid the dominance of any kind of thought police. Maybe it's the best time to start rolling out wireless peer-to-peer networks everywhere and to switch to software that doesn't rely on Google or Facebook datacenters.
