Windows can ensure its quality quite easily: restore support for Windows 7.

You're "only just noticing", because you have downvoted, banned, and "cancelled" everyone who was warning you about it for a long time, under a pretence of them being "bigots" and "racists".

Why would the people warning about manosphere infiltration have been downvoted, banned and canceled? What was the content of their warnings?

Private Military Companies writing for NYT?

Does it have tail recursion?

If nothing else dotnet has TCO IL operations (C# doesn't compile down to them last I knew but F# does) so in theory shouldn't be hard to add.

MSIL was designed to support plenty of languages, including C and C++, which WebAssembly advocates tend to never mention.

As such there are plenty of MSIL and CLR capabilities not yet fully exposed in C#.

One of the improvements in C# during the last decade, has been exposing low level coding abilities into C#, which is nothing more than taking advantage of those primitives originally designed for C and C++ support.

Likewise, .NET also had support back in 2001 for FP languages, thus TCO.

I'm pretty sure it does. I would even think that it tries to optimize such, as a recent check-in comment claims improvements of TCO.

A lisp without tail recursion would be a sad thing.

It's not unusual for lisp interpreters to lack TCO. Also the (relative) popularity of dynamic binding in Common Lisp reduced the opportunities for TCO.

There's not really a consensus in the parts of the CL community that I'm familiar with on whether or not code relying on TCO is idiomatic or not.


Common Lisp does not require implementations preform tail call optimization in general, or even in just the limited case of tail recursion.

I prefer aboard_varname, because my_ is sometimes used by people like you ;-).

The HTTP 418 I'm a teapot status response code indicates that the server refuses to brew coffee because it is, permanently, a teapot. A combined coffee/tea pot that is temporarily out of coffee should instead return 503.

I pity the fool who's never sucked coffee from a teapot

>How can we solve this problem, of the current state of the internet, without reverting to the compromises of the past?

We need to be on the offensive, not on the defensive. We need to pro-actively scrape walled gardens and re-publish them without fluff.

We need to consider .onion to be the default domain for our websites.

And we should also not be ashamed of using AI to achieve our goals.

We need to implement modern conveniences in our programs.

We need to be writing bridges between walled gardens and deltachat.


>We were still required to buy paper books for all sorts of routine knowledge work tasks.

I download books from libgen and print them out. Printed books will never be replaced.
