On Firefox you can right click and then choose "Save audio as..."


I was going to suggest this. It's cool that you build a file based database (IIRC) and query language in the third chapter!


Also with so little actual code. This cemented my interest for Common Lisp at the time I was reading it.


I have already made one browser extension for easily adding bookmarks into the category (folder) you want to, or create a new subcategory while adding a bookmark. Try it out!

peterhil/spellbook: Spellbook is a bookmark extension for Chrome and Firefox https://github.com/peterhil/spellbook


Awesome, this is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. Will try it out later. I have a highly organized folder structure and this could be easier than finding it in the native treenav view.

Now I just need good ways to add and search tags, make offline copies (index.html+PDF), and maybe even search the contents of the pages and I'll be golden.


Do you have a demo?


I have made this even easier with Rosegarden, so that you can just use a promisified browser object in both Firefox and Chrome!

The library is tiny, under 5 kb.

An Acer video projector I bought for 50€. I also got a few years old Thinkpad X230 for 100€.


Excellent collection of reasons for not using AWS.


Carp Lisp is one lisp that has Rust like memory management without garbage collection.


A good reason not to use it then.


Writing web applications with Lisp is a joy, so this is aptly named.

I wrote one app with Uncommon Web framework on Common Lisp around 2009, with it you could similarly render the HTML from Lisp functions, and use continuations for multi part form submissions.

I have also used Fennel recently, and if Janet is anything as good, I'll try Joy on my next suitable project!

Fennel was created prior to Janet, by the same person. :)


These are my main reasons to avoid systemd as much as possible. And a bug in systemd-udev on 32-bit Linux systems that periodically halted the performance of the system into unusable state for long times that is probably never going to get fixed.

Update: The bug was related with integrated Bluetooth card on some Dell laptops and is fixed on Ubuntu 22.04: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/17598...


My first reaction was to see if the project is made with Commnon Lisp's ASDF, and cool now it has plugins for different languages. Common Lisp ASDF is very well thought out, but not the easiest package management system.


Yeah I was really wondering who found it easier to hack ASDF to work with other languages than just use a few separate package management solutions. It's an incredible library, but man I would not want to push its limits or it would go from odd to unusable pretty quick.
