I don't understand what the fixation is that so much of the "Common Lisp Community" has with indiscriminately making software that has extensible components. there are plenty of cases where this is a good thing, but then there are others with webdev stuff in particular where it's like why the fuck would I ever need to have different HTTP server backends? Hunchentoot is already a really high quality piece of software that is pretty much in its own right fully modular
the more time I've spent with CL the more it feels like the "community" is just a sad disorganized mess of random people who don't have any sense of how to constructively contribute to the CL ecosystem and so they just end up treading over the same superficial memetic bullshit about endlessly about the language
the situation today with the woman being murdered by ICE in Minneapolis is a logical endpoint of 10 years of constant far-right domestic terrorism. it isn't so much a secret police moment (which we have had since the New Left in the 60s with FBI COINTELPRO) as it is state-backed domestic terrorism, and much like the mass shooters, there's no real plan behind any of it beyond sowing as much chaos and despondency as possible by using brown people as the sacrificial scapegoat
also you mean to tell me that the same regime that has had multiple national security blunders over basic ass infosec failures managed to capture Maduro alive by helicopter in a three hour special op a day after he was talking about being ready to sell out Venezuela to US oil interests?
nah something doesn't feel right about any of this. I think Maduro turned himself over to the US
it's so fucking crazy how people who don't know anything about the history of US imperialism are currently soying out about how the US can heckin illegally kidnap another country's president as if we haven't been doing this shit for 100 years and people are only now paying attention
really makes you think :pondering:
>Jan 2 (Reuters) - Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro said in a New Year's interview that his country is willing to receive U.S. investment in its oil sector, coordinate in the fight against drug trafficking and hold serious talks with the United States.
>"We must start to speak seriously, with the facts in hand," Maduro said in his annual interview with a Spanish journalist, originally published in Mexican newspaper La Jornada and broadcast on Venezuelan state television on New Year's Day.
