Marco Antoniotti: New version of HEΛP

By within-parens.blogspot.com
Published On :: Sun, 03 May 2020 21:44:00 GMT

After ELS 2020 I got some time to get back and do some hacking on Common Lisp. The first result is a new version of HEΛP that fixes some bugs and is in general much more robust on both Un*x and Windows platforms.

One outstanding issue is the reliance of the library on READ, which does cause some problems when reading pure source code.  On a next iteration I may use Eclector, which is a drop-in replacement for READ with finer control on error handling.

In any case, if you need HEΛP to document your program, just follow the link.

Сергей Васильевич Рахманинов, к сожалению, не оставил мемуаров, и перед нами фактически единственный подлинный мемуарный документ – рассказ композитора о себе. Книга воспоминаний Рахманинова, записанных Оскаром фон Риземаном, была издана в Лондоне в 1934 году. Со страниц книги звучит голос нашего великого соотечественника, рассказывающего о своем детстве, годах учения, первых шагах в качестве пианиста, дирижера, о драматических событиях и триумфах, сделавших его уже к тридцати годам гордостью и славой России…

Още въздух (926K) - Джордж Оруэлл - Современная проза

By lib.rus.ec
Published On :: Sat, 09 May 2020 08:40:44 +0000

Джордж Оруел (1903–1950), романист, есеист и литературен критик, печели световна известност в края на 40-те години на ХХ век с две брилянтни сатири срещу тоталитаризма — „Фермата на животните“ и „1984“. Творбите му — остроумни, иронични, честни и пророчески — го нареждат сред най-влиятелните автори на нашето време.
Още въздух е книга за носталгията към миналото, за безполезността от опитите да се върнеш назад във времето, за това колко лесно поривите и мечтите на младостта се обезценяват от еднообразието и рутината на ежедневието.



    В тази книга неговият ироничен хумор е по-завладяващ от всякога.
    Observer





    „Още въздух“ е творба, еднакво забавна и сериозна. Тук в ембрионален вид присъстват „Фермата на животните“ и „1984“. Не са много романите, които носят в себе си семето на два бъдещи шедьовъра и същевременно са така увлекателни.
    Джон Кеъри, Sunday Times





    Прелестна и разведряваща творба… един малък шедьовър.
    Харви Брайт, The New York Times





    Във време на повсеместна лъжа изричането на истината е революционен акт.

М.Е.Салтыкова-Щедрина заслуженно относят к писателям-сатирикам мировой величины. Но при этом зачастую его произведения толкуют лишь как сатиру на государственное устройство и порядки самодержавной России.В этой книге сделана попытка представить читателям другого Салтыкова – мастера, наделенного редчайшим художественным даром, даром видеть комическую подоснову жизни. Видеть, в противоположность классическому гоголевскому пожеланию, сквозь видимые миру слезы невидимый миру смех.

Ради безопасности любимых людей, Сара оставляет всё, что знает в прошлом. Вскоре она выясняет, что этот новый мир не идёт ни в какое сравнение с её старым миром, и она пытается занять своё место среди Мохири. Но для Сары и всем кто её окружает очень быстро становится очевидно, что она отнюдь не обычный воин. Проходят недели, Сара выстраивает новые отношения, совладает со своими новыми инструкторами, и пробует справиться со своей непрерывно изменяющейся силой, при этом сохранив в тайне своё уникальное наследие. На заднем плане принимает угрожающие размеры неустанная тень Магистра, который сделает всё, чтобы отыскать её. Сара находит себя на жизненном пути самопознания, который выявляет её истинные силы и пробуждает скрытую её часть, о существовании которой она никогда не догадывалась. Она переживает восхищение от новой дружбы, сладость и боль первой любви, и потерю настолько глубокую, что это может стать тем, что в итоге сломает её. В конце концов, она обнаруживает, что то место, где она должна была бы быть в безопасности, возможно, не является прибежищем, каковым она его считала.

Mr. Gonzi's victory; was the contest necessary?

By maltaobserver.blogspot.com
Published On :: Sun, 26 Feb 2012 10:25:00 +0000

PM in Marsascala during his tour for support
In todays The Times one can read that PM Lawrence Gonzi gained 96,5 per cent of the vote in the PN leadership contest. It gives The Observer a flashback from the sixties when Leonid Brezhnev gained 105 per cent of the vote in former Soviet Union. That is what can be called a good and fair election! To avoid any misunderstanding; of course yesterday's election can not be regarded otherwise than fair. But was it necessary? Even if Mr. Gonzi felt that he needed to have his leadership confirmed, the outcome of the vote is still not a true and fair view on the situation in The Nationalist Party since Mr. Gonzi was the only candidate. Say for instance that Mr. Debono had challenged Mr. Gonzi regarding the leadership (he has challenged him about almost everything else). Of course Mr. Gonzi would not have gained 96,5 per cent of the vote. That is as certain as it is that Mr. Debone would have lost such a debacle. Mr. Debono has previously tried very hard to commit political suicide and if he had challenged Mr. Gonzi regarding the leadership he would surely have succeeded. One can wonder if all this really was necessary. Mr. Gonzi is the undisputed leader of the Nationalist Party no matter what Mr. Debono tries to do. Even if there are a number of opponents to Mr. Gonzi in the party they are not as stupid as to challenge Mr. Gonzo in this political situation. They would, in that case, have gone down together with Mr. Debono.

A Maltese priest’s distorted view of the judiciary's role in society

By maltaobserver.blogspot.com
Published On :: Tue, 28 Feb 2012 08:19:00 +0000

In yesterdays The Times a Maltese priest, Mgr. Anton Gaucia, complains once more that a High Court in London a few weeks ago gave a sentence ruling that “the Catholic Church can be held liable for the wrongdoings of its priests”. Mgr. Gaucia have earlier, January 8 in Sunday Times, made the same complaint. Now Mgr. Gaucia also complains over the fact that a Mr. Justice in London has ruled that “the saying of prayers as part of the formal meeting of a council is not lawful”, adding that “there is no statutory power permitting the practice to continue”.
First things first; of course the Church shall be liable for what its employees/priests do in Alphain their capacity as priests. The children in these cases were in the care of a Catholic institution. I wonder what Mgr. Gaucia would say about if a municipal employee at a daycare sexually molest a child that the child’s parents left in its care. Of course, the municipality would be responsible for its negligence and for its failure to protect a child. The same goes of course for the Church. Mgr. Gaucia may of course, probably not being a father himself in the more down to earth sense, not understand what damage the Church and its priests done to these children. The people The Observer talked to in this matter in Malta all agree with The Observer and I think it would be wise of the Church to listen to the people in this.
Second; it might soon be time for priests like Mgr. Gauci and his colleagues to realize what century they live in. The time when Catholics ruled southern Europe is gone forever. There are Muslims, Hindus, Jews and many other people of different beliefs that have and are going to have positions in the society among which, of course, also positions in a council. Does Mgr. Gauci really mean that these people must attend Catholic or Protestant prayers? Or shall they leave when such prayer is to be said? Another possibility would of course be to have, say ten, different rooms where people of different beliefs could pray in accordance with such belief before the council meeting. Mgr Gauci, please grow up and realize what reality you live in.

A circus agent felt insulted after being called a clown. This terrible crime was rather soon brought to court for judgment. AlphaThe Observer is confident that the public feel great gratitude that the legal system makes such wise priorities.

The Iron Dragon's Daughter E-Book Only $1.99--MONDAY ONLY!

By floggingbabel.blogspot.com
Published On :: Fri, 20 Mar 2020 21:05:00 +0000

.


More than a quarter-century ago, I was driving to Pittsburgh, with my wife, Marianne Porter, and we were talking about fantasy and about steam locomotives. I made a joke about the Baldwin Steam Dragon Works and Marianne laughed. Then, another mile or so down the road, I said, "Write that down, please."

Thus was born the Iron Dragons Trilogy, a trio of stand-alone books, the third of which, The Iron Dragon's Mother, was published just last year.

Far more recently, just an hour or so ago, I got an email from my associates at Open Road Media, telling me that The Iron Dragon's Mother, first of the three, will be on sale for $1.99 this coming Monday, March 23.

That's one day only BUT this time the sale includes Canada. Which I am very grateful for because the Canadian science fiction community has always been very warm and kind to  me.

Anyway, here's the boilerplate below, cut-and-pasted from the corporate email:

Didn't We Just Do This?

By floggingbabel.blogspot.com
Published On :: Mon, 30 Mar 2020 22:06:00 +0000

.


And the answer is: Yes, we did. Last week. But Open Road Media is putting The Iron Dragon's Daughter on e-sale again. $1.99 on this Wednesday, April 1, only. I don't have to tell you what holiday that is. But apparently they really mean it.

I expect most people who read this blog and wanted an e-copy of that book got one during last week's sale. But I publicize the event for two reasons:

1) Writers should always be as cooperative to their publishers as they can stand being.

2) Maybe the reason for this promotion is that they're putting a lot of books on sale at once.

If you're an ebook reader, you might want to look into the second possibility. Or maybe subscribe to one of the newsletters below.

Here's the e-letter they sent me, with all the boilerplate:

The Devil's Bestiary

Marianne Porter's nanopress imprint, Dragonstiars Press,  has just announced its latest chapbook!

The Devil's Bestiary, a dark, brooding, and occasionally scabrous piece of fun composed by your truly, will be made available for purchase tomorrow, Thursday April 9, at noon Philadelphia Time (that's 4 p.m. Greenwich Mean Time) at the Dragonstairs Press website, www.dragonstairs.com.

But not a minute before then.

Here's the official announcement:

The Devil's Bestiary is Michael Swanwick's cynical,whimsical take on twenty nine creatures of myth and fables.  It is 5 ½ inch square format, with an outer wrapper of hand-dyed kozo paper, hand-stitched, numbered, and signed by the author.  It is published in a limited edition of 45, of which 40 are available for sale.   

The signed and very limited edition chapbook will go for $12 in the USA and $14 elsewhere, postage included. (When I tell Marianne she's not charging enough, she just glares at me.)  Which means that it will sell out pretty much immediately.

It's a lovely thing and I'm proud, as the content provider, to own a copy.


And rather than buy a pig in a poke with a blind horse . . .

Here are a couple of typical entries from The Devil's Bestiary:


A thousand years ago, a demon grew tired of his existence and came down to Earth to surrender himself to the first saint he encountered. He’s still looking.


A ghoul was caught in the act of anthropophagy by a camera crew from the local Action News, who needed something sensational for sweeps week. He was tried by an ambitious D. A. and defended by a lawyer from the ACLU. The jury was hung, asnd he got off. But afterward? Afterward, it was lean times for him indeed. He was not allowed near graveyards and he could not stomach non-human flesh. Vegetarianism was out of the question. He almost starved to death before an innovative mortician offered him honest work.

Today he’s the picture of affluence. Respectable people pay extremely well for his services, for he returns the remains of their loved ones to the earth in the most environmentally responsible way imaginable.


Those, at the low-rez pic above, should tell you right away whether you need a copy or not.
