  • That’s the marketing that they do, one gadget to replace them all. In reality I’ve an analog watch at my wrist, I’ve a powerful flashlight (mostly using my smartphone tho), I’ve a dslr camera and TV. One friend of mine his into boats and has multiple GPS devices properly adapted to boats. So the one fits all is good for generic users, but if you rely heavily of certain technologies, specialised gadgets are better, less distracting and more reliable.

  • 4/5 kobos? What did happen to them? I suspect the screen broke after a fall. Happened to the one of my sister. In that case try to use an harder cover because 4/5 are a lot

  • I think ereaders are cheap if you used them heavily. I read on it every day and I take it with me wherever I go so I can read instead of scrolling of my phone. I’ve hundreds of books on my Kobo and is really the best tech gadget I have, and it cost me around $130 if I remember well.

    If you compare the cost for example to a gaming console, is it justified? Probably depends how much you play video games. There are heavy players and people that play video games only occasionally. Same for readers.

    Yes the price is slightly increasing but still justified for people that used them frequently. With a good cover they become pretty resistant and the battery stays for weeks.

    P.S. Interesting insights in the article about the price factors and patents.

  • Thanks I've taken notes on the improvements. Also I've checked your website pages on Lisp and I'm discovering so much staff :)

  • > false premises, false conclusions, and bad good ideas in-between.

    False constructive criticism (since you've spammed your stuff 5 times), and bad (hostile) behavior which, I found, it's way more common in the Common Lisp community than in other languages.

    I just gave my experience of testing the creation of a Common Lisp web app using different libraries, and instead of a guide of >20 pages, I condensed a bit of code in a single article. I could not find a quick tutorial for Caveman so I decided to write a short one. Is it such an issue?

    You probably got triggered for my conclusions but I still stand for it. I really like Common Lisp and I'm a Lisp fan in general, but to write generic modern web app I think there are languages that fit better. Most of the web app they would not benefit from having such a powerful language as Common Lisp in the back-ent, I would even think it can be harmful in some cases when you need to hire, and I say this having worked with Lisp dialect in production.
