Indeed, Arc's been running on Common Lisp for a while now!

Too bad the screenshot doesn't show this page as a nice autoreference mise en abîme.

Of course, SteamOS is an immutable Arch spin, so it's not as if this isn't an idea that's been had before, but Arch is indeed on the surface sort of a weird distro to implement as immutable.


The Guix pages have styling: https://guix.gnu.org


And in Spanish here: https://www.poeticous.com/borges/el-disco?locale=es

(Not having much Spanish, I at first thought "Odin's disco(teque)" and then "no, that doesn't make sense about sides", but then, surely primed by English "disco", thought "it must mean Odin's record/lp/album".)


Odin's records have no B-sides, because everything Odin writes is fire!


Back when things really had A and B sides, it was moderately common for big artists to release a "Double A" in which both titles were heavily promoted, e.g. Nirvana's "All Apologies" and "Rape Me" are a double A, the Beatles "Penny Lane" and "Strawberry Fields Forever" likewise.



You can set default margins in the user interface of KOReader too.


I'd suggest KOReader, on various devices, as the best renderer and interface.


I read standard .epub files with KOReader on my Kobo Aura H2O. It's faster, nicer-looking, and more customizable than the stock reader, and the installation instructions were complete, correct, and easy to follow.



And it works on Android too. Even for devices that aren't e-ink, I prefer KOReader to anything else.



The Paradox of tolerance almost never means what the person invoking it as a rebuttal to free speech thinks it means. It's not some moral axiom that demands action to shut down problematic speech whenever it happens. It's a concept that has varied views on to what extent should tolerance of intolerance be extended and to what response is appropriate when it extends beyonds that threshold.

The most frequently quoted text I've seen is Karl Popper's writing, where he states that we must reserve the right to suppress intolerant philosophies, not that we should always suppress them.

Now, some people might have the opinion that we should be completely intolerant to intolerance and that might be a defendable position in its own right, but the paradox of tolerance is not intrinsically condoning that sort of response.


> ....It's not some moral axiom that demands action to shut down problematic speech whenever it happens.

No, that would probably end up in a logical paradox, if one were intolerant of any degree of intolerance.

> It's a concept that has varied views on to what extent should tolerance of intolerance be extended and to what response is appropriate when it extends beyonds that threshold.

I don't know enough to have a particular position on the ACLU, but at least in theory an organisation defending free speech might decide that conditions have become such that defending certain things will lead to the inability to defend other things and choose to proceed differently on that basis.


I think Popper would be quite sad with how people abuse his intend with stating it.

Without a lot of context from Popper this principle isn't even a very good one and Popper certainly would agree here.

It just displays that you didn't put time into it thinking it through, especially if you just distribute links.
