I'm planning a day trip to Singapore next month. Could you recommend any must-try local dishes, good restaurants or food stalls, and temples to visit?

Yet another Lord Ganesh statue in Chachoengsao

Adapted Hinduism remains very active here, not just as a historical relic.

It costs 170 THB, which is very cheap.

Some people claim that durian is the king of fruits, but I’ve never seen a durian order the execution of other fruits.

@bonkers My short-term goal is to enable WiFi on Debian, which I will resume maybe on next next next weekend. After that, I probably trying other DEs besides GNOME and KDE plasma.

@bonkers I used LXDE in 2011. It works.

@bonkers I'm not sure, but overall performance is not good enough yet.

Hello RISC-V

About 25 years ago, I disliked that so many Debian tools were written in Perl because the language allowed too many ways to do the same thing. Now, I consider Perl 5 mature and predictable compared to Python 3.

@notclacke However, the definition of "bound" is quite straightforward:

"The variables occurring in the list of variables of a λ-expression are dummy
or bound, ..."

@notclacke "The unbound variables are called free variables." 🤔

Common Lisp - with its open-source implementation, SBCL, offers greater resilience against US tech export controls and sanctions compared to Go. Its stable, long-lived libraries can be easily archived locally. Go, however, undergoes frequent changes and depends heavily on GitHub, which is a US-based service, increasing its exposure to such restrictions. Furthermore, since our project is non-military, encryption algorithm limitations do not pose a concern for our use case.

"a free variable is any variable used in a namespace which is not a local variable in that namespace." 😅

> An if-block does not create a separate scope.

Because a variable inside an if-block is directly accessible in the same namespace as it is outside the if-block?

From the statement below, can I infer that an if-block is a scope because it doesn't have a name, and therefore it is not directly accessible?

> A scope is a textual region of a Python program where a namespace is directly accessible. “Directly accessible” here means that an unqualified reference to a name attempts to find the name in the namespace."

@skinnylatte you even use F-degree. 🤔

Without opening any positions in SE Asia, after introducing their imfamous terms of use, Mozilla asked me to contribute 336 THB, which is equivalent to the cost of up to 6 meals here in Bangkok, via a credit card that I don't have, to Common Voice, a project to which local people, including myself, have already contributed our time and effort. Therefore, I'm unable to pay. Or, even if I could, the maximum I could pay would be 20 THB.

Now I want to port this to Common Lisp. But I don't finish my PostgreSQL extension in C yet. 🥹
