Why is it that everywhere I go people have no idea how copyright works.
Yes, they are "under a copyright". Author is an owner of their intelectual property by default and unless they say otherwise, they get to keep those rights.

A few times a month. Mostly when I need to do something and I'm near my dad's laptop or when I want to play games on my desktop (I still haven't got around to installing GNU/Linux onto it, since it gets used only for gaming and is useless for most other stuff)
Edit: I misread the question, sorry.
I only have to use Windows when helping friends and relatives with computers but this happens only a few times a year.

Umm... now you are returning the list from cdr
. You should change the last nl
to (car nl)
to return a proper result.

Well... I spent the whole night learning basics of Lisp just for this.
I don't regret it though, it's a suprisingly nice language. Probably not for me to use, but I like it as a concept.
(defun my_nth (n list)
(unless (and (typep n 'integer) (>= n 0))
(error "~a is not a non-negative integer" n))
(unless (typep list 'list)
(error "~a is not a list" n))
(let ((i 0))
(loop for item in list do
(if (= i n)
(return item)
(incf i)))))
I actually don't know i how fast it is since I have no idea how to measure time/speed in Common Lisp so you'll have to do that.
Btw, your function didn't work for me. If I put in a list as the second argument it complains on (> n list)
that the list isn't a number and If it's a number lower than n
it complains on (cdr nl)
that it's not a list :)

Reply to How do I set up my own Postmill forum? by elyersio
If you want to create a forum here on Raddle (or other sites running Postmill) do it here.
If you want to setup your own instance then asking in /f/Postmill or Postmill dev channel on Matrix (#postmill:matrix.org) might be a better idea. Though you shoud probably read this first and then ask about specific things you have trouble with or don't understand.

Reply to MINIX Authour's Letter to Intel by josefStallman
I have run across this before, when companies have told me that they hate the GPL because they are not keen on spending a lot of time, energy, and money modifying some piece of code, only to be required to give it to their competitors for free.
That's the fucking point of copyleft. When some people spend a lot of time and energy making something why not share it so others don't have to spend their time and energy?

Why not write the last week's post like this: Last week's thread: GIMP
[Last week's thread: GIMP](/f/freeasinfreedom/12143)
This way a person can instantly see what software was covered and they don't have to choose between link variants since it will simply use the one they are currently using.

Reply to comment by Enkara in Raddlers who still browse Reddit, what are your favorite Reddit communities which you would like to see here but are too lazy to create? by elyersio
I second this. It's my favorite meme sub. I was thinking about making it myself but I wasn't sure if I'd be a good mod...

Reply to [Proposal] Temporarily ban ziq so the community has time to heal (Proposal Failed) by leftous
I'm in support, sorry /u/ziq.
I feel like raddle needs some time now to let this all blow over, and that would be best achieved if you took some time of your own. Maybe even to do some introspection about all this.
