mircea_popescu: but you should both document that lost decade and provide pointers to check what others did against it.

mircea_popescu: "take your propeller-hat, your paranthesis and your spielhosen away from here and come back when you have a fully native gfx stack."

mircea_popescu: and nobody seems to rub the lispers' face in this, either. what, there's some sort of chivalrous convention i don't know about going on ?

mircea_popescu: meanwhile... there is an implementation of particularly gnarly in c, but not in lisp.

mircea_popescu: what, all through 1995 - 2005 everyone "in lisp" sat around on their ass passing back and forth stories of how cool moon was in the 70s and how great gabriel's hairdo looks ?

mircea_popescu: the lisp power rangers failed to lead the wave in implementing opengl correctly twenty years ago

mircea_popescu: incidentally if things are this fucked up, the correct avenue would probably be to define a full gfx stack

mircea_popescu: there's a limited number of lispers and they all scratch their own itch. without centralized visions results barely compose. gabriel_laddel needs working clim for his projects. robert strandh only occasionally hacks on mcclim anymore, spends most of his time on n-th rewrite of emacs, etc. and of course there are arguments of what the components should be and how they should compose. the only common ground is the

gabriel_laddel:
mircea_popescu: After SMBX died CL had to be re-implemented.

mircea_popescu: the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak?

mircea_popescu: oh, no, that was the answer to "there is no native lisp gfx engine?"

mircea_popescu: here as in in #b-a
phf:
mircea_popescu: i think that there's a bunch of people trying to chuck moore their way out of "modern computing" here, as such there's not native anything

mircea_popescu: have you tried reading the OpenGL spec?

mircea_popescu prolly writes his electrical schematics as netlists every time, etc
ascii_butugychag: jurov: my understanding is that
mircea_popescu is so allergic to 'visual thinker'-ism that he barfs just thinking about any such thing being intrinsic to some aspect of whatever discipline
jurov:
mircea_popescu with all your hate of english why do you suddenly deem it fit to express math concepts unadorned?

mircea_popescu: it is also fundamentally why math "is hard". for every non-retarded young adult who believes math is hard you have a case of a child who developed his own, highly personal set of shitty symbols, and then never received a good explanation as to what the difference between his and "everyone else"'s is, so got lost.

mircea_popescu> For any smooth, simple closed positively oriented curve in a plane, if two functions are defined on any open region containing the area bounded by that curve, should those functions have continuous derivatives in the region then the integral over their sum is the integral over the region's integration of their differential.
