The primary benefit of consoles is a mix of price (at least in theory) and exclusives, which Sony still does.

Doesn't Boko Haram control basically all of northern Nigeria? Yes, it's incredibly rural (even deserted) but it's still half a country.

How many of those are available in the language(s) they speak, though? AI might have been used as a glorified Google Translate here.

Honestly, Boko Haram is in general just bad at propaganda and mostly confines said propaganda to Nigeria.

FYI, "Baal" is a much later invention. In ancient Hebrew, the word "Ba'al" means lord/master/husband and is often used as a honorific.

Oh, I understand. For what it's worth, some implementations do have that as an extension, although I've personally never used it. See http://www.sbcl.org/manual/#Extensible-Sequences.

I don't quite understand what you mean by generic collections in this case. Do you want to restrict a list to only contain one specific type?

In my mind, it's 2 distinct criteria: interactivity and the manipulation of symbols (whether those are implemented as symbols or identifiers doesn't really matter). I don't know about Erlang, but from the admittedly little JS I've written, I believe it achieves both criteria, even if it's worse at them than a "proper" Lisp.

> Some people that are called "Nazi" today are often __way more Nazi__ than these average Nazi citizen.

No, they aren't. This is the exact thing I was talking about but you can't seem to divorce your thinking from preestablished patterns. The Holocaust wasn't some universal evil. It was a genocide of Jews. The greatest incarnation of antisemitism seen in history. It wasn't a crime against the entirety of humanity. It was a crime against Jews that got appropriated. Antisemitism is the core of nazism, but since Jewish lives are cheap, no one gives a shit about that part, or about how post-war antisemitism in Austria and Germany gave rise to Hitler and the NSDAP. They haven't "eaten" the propaganda, they lived it before the nazis ever existed. Hell, Simon Wiesenthal was forced to invent 5 million non-Jewish victims of the Holocaust simply so people would give a shit about the whole thing (I'm not even going to mention that the whole "banality of evil" thing was based on false testimony.)

And when people are actual neonazis, they get excused. If you're familiar with American politics, you can see Platner as the most recent example.

Without mentioning the offensiveness of your comment, what exactly made you think I was American?

As far as I'm concerned, I already hate the write-compile-run cycle, any further slowdown in that irritates me exponentially.

Can't say I share your experience. I lived in a house built sometime in the 18th century and mold, leaks, and ants were all issues.

Not really related to the post, but does anyone else get a reflexive negative reaction to a .app TLD?

That's essentially the same thing as modding a game, though. I know there have been lawsuits to stop modding, but I don't think any were successful.

Then Google can either discontinue their AI or make damn sure it's good.
