The Art of Lisp and Writing

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-14 03:07:42

The Art of Lisp & Writing Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge. Charles Darwin Lisp is the language of loveliness. With it a great programmer can make a beautiful, operating thing, a thing organically created and formed through the interaction of a programmer/artist and a medium of expression that happens to execute on a computer. Taught that programmingor the worse "developing software"is like a routine engineering activity, many find difficulty seeing writing

Joe Maring / Android Authority I’m as cynical as the next tech writer about Big Tech’s trajectory, but I’ve always had a soft spot for Google Photos. The app recently turned ten years old, and I’ve been there every step of the way, although it certainly took me a while to discover its full potential. Many retrospectives have been written about how the app has evolved from its launch in 2015, but I’ve been thinking more about what the next decade holds. As good as the app is, here’s what I’d lik

The Vivoactive 6 is the best and worst thing to happen to the Garmin Venu series

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-14 00:00:36

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority I’ve been testing Garmin’s Vivoactive and Venu series for generations, and in the past, each line clearly catered to distinct user needs. The Vivoactive line was my go-to recommendation for budget-conscious athletes. The Venu stood as Garmin’s best option for a rounded smartwatch experience. With the release of the Garmin Vivoactive 6, however, the line between the two series feels blurrier than ever, and for the first time, I’m struggling to distinguish betwe

Nintendo Switch 2 review: exactly good enough

theverge.com Andrew Webster 2025-09-13 23:00:00

The first Switch was such a hit that Nintendo decided not to mess with a good thing. Instead of releasing a successor that feels like a generational leap or a pivot in a new direction, it’s following up the hugely successful original with the Switch 2 — a welcome upgrade that largely sticks to the formula. It looks about the same, works about the same, and plays most of the same games. It’s the Switch, just better. Nintendo’s bet is that it doesn’t have to wow people all over again, and so it m

There's nothing like the feeling of a brand-new planner. Whether it's the start of a new year or even just the month of June, we've found the best planners to deliver that satisfying rush of a fresh start and a blank page. The sensation of writing things down not only feels satisfying but helps improve retention, and paper planners give a sense of delight in a world that can feel bleak.

AI Isn't Magic, It's Maths

So much Hype…. Everyone’s talking about artificial intelligence these days. ChatGPT can whip up an essay or answer your questions like it reads your mind. Midjourney conjures up stunning art from a simple prompt. It almost feels magical. But here at Zero Fluff, we don’t do magic – we do reality. And the reality is: AI isn’t magic at all. It’s math.

The Switch 2 gives Splatoon 3 a fantastically fresh coat of paint

Splatoon 3 already looked phenomenal on the original Switch, in a way that seemed to defy the console’s hardware limitations. The game’s paint-slicked visuals were gorgeous, and its chaotic battles were a testament to how well the Switch could run software that was fine-tuned to make the best of its specs. What was most impressive, though, was the way Splatoon 3 kept refreshing itself for years after its initial 2022 release with a steady stream of new clothes, weapons, stages, and a nifty DLC e

Early 2010s Android phones were the golden era, you can’t change my mind
