I don't think it's possible to reliably enforce this ban.

What I really don't want is clickbait titles.

What about a gamma ray burst?

What do you expect from it?

Nintendo would never do the latter, if you mean publishing software on the Switch without their approval.

The death of x86 is long overdue.

Not "science" but "a science", psychology, which is notoriously problematic with regards to reproducibility.

I think Symbolics' Dynamic Windows and CLIM could be added to this gallery as well, as early examples of presentation-based user interfaces:

Was this generated by a Markov chain?

Symbolics managed to fit their Lisp VM into the cache of DEC Alpha processors in the early nineties: http://pt.withy.org/publications/VLM.html

As far as I know, Bret Victor is looking exactly into that, check out his talk "The Future of Programming": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGMiCo2Ntsc

RnRS are barebone compared to ANSI CL, and the last few versions of Scheme suffered severe resistance from the community.

Skolkovo is a Potemkin village, all real work is being done elsewhere.

It's more like stop-the-world garbage collection.

I don't see Valentin Turchin mentioned in the book which is a shame, he was arguably the Soviet counterpart to John McCarthy.

I wonder how such properly-designed extensions would look like in Common Lisp or any other language with similar metaprogramming capabilities.

I wish this wasn't a joke.

Also there is an object system called Flavors for the early Lisp flavor ZetaLisp.

All hail the "new" Microsoft, still using the old anticompetitive tricks from the DOS era.

There is this: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Nouveau-...

Well, there were minicomputer disk drives: http://i.imgur.com/7VVFXEg.jpg

There is a price list for Lisp machines in this archived Symbolics presentation made in 1986, page 14: http://bitsavers.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/pdf/symbolics/h...

I wish someone would try to reimplement Symbolics Genera under an open source license and make it run on modern hardware properly, without VLM. Its design and philosophy is quite different from Unix derivatives, being so object-oriented in the right parts and extensible on the source code level. The user interface was very reminiscent of the notebook interface in Mathematica - output in the listener wasn't plain text as in Unix CLI, but arbitrary objects like bitmaps or graphs or interactive widgets. You could click on any of them and inspect its state or open the source file that implements it.

Nintendo is not going to make a general-purpose mobile device, it would contradict the company's core philosophy.

Am I the only person who first heard about Ticketmaster on the website of Terry Davis? He wrote an operating system for them.

It would be amazing if Valve made Source Engine open source, but that would require them to replace Havok and perhaps other middleware.

Check out Empire Earth and its sequels.

We already had the AI winter before. The worst thing about it is the death of Symbolics. The latest AI resurgence, unfortunately, created nothing comparable to the legendary Lisp machines.

You can include it in coreboot.

No mention of Trilema?
