linfocito

From the FAQ (https://chimera-linux.org/docs/faq#what-about-chimeraos)

“The system also has no relation to ChimeraOS, besides the unfortunate name similarity. ChimeraOS used to be called GamerOS and renamed itself to ChimeraOS later; however, at this point Chimera Linux was already in public development with its name in place.”

Brazilian here. I honestly don’t get the idea of the pretense uniqueness of the term “saudade”. Sure there is not an equivalent noun in English, but, to me, the verb “to miss” someone or some place conveys precisely the same feeling.

It's (way) more like leaving Scheme for Clojure.

There is 'sysclean' in packages, which make that step easier.

Those very same arguments could be rather used to say why Racket is important.

I think this "A Road to Common Lisp" is a very good introductory guide

Yes, it supports multiple dispatch. And so does CLOS (Common Lisp Object System)

Not disputing the central point, imperative is ok, but Common Lisp has all of it in one or other way - It's pretty much imperative, indeed.

In Brazillian portuguese, the only words ended with "n" are scientific names (neologisms?) with a latin radical, e.g. elétron, próton, nêutron, pólen, plâncton, necton, etc.

In European portuguese, while the above forms are also common, the alternatives "electrão, protão, neutrão" are often found.

I don't know for sure, but I think two important factors are:

1) The lack of proper/popular communication channels between medical communities (apart from the academic ones)

2) The fact that these improvisations are often deemed as undesirable or inadequate (even shameful) without the due scientifical scrutiny, only because they are cheap or simple

In my experience, most facilities that have oxigen flow also have compressed air flow with cheap controllable fluxometers, but a blender is often lacking or too expensive.

In those cases we use a Y piece connecting air and oxigen flows to the inspirarory limb.

The role of the blender is to control the percentage of oxigen offered. With the Y piece we can control that by the equation:

%O2 = (O2flow + Airflow * 0.21) / Total flow

If you can use Total flow of 8L/min (reasonable in most cases) the approximations table below is of easy memorization and precise enough:

  O2 flow - Air flow - %O2

    8 - 0 - 100%
    7 - 1 - 90%
    6 - 2 - 80%
    5 - 3 - 70%
    4 - 4 - 60%
    3 - 5 - 50%
    2 - 6 - 40%
    1 - 7 - 30%
    0 - 8 - 21%

He and his team should be praised and prized for the achievement and results.

On the other side, this shows how slowly ideas can spread even in globalization times. I'm a pediatrician in Brazil and have used and been taught to use improvised bubble CPAP, with great results, since the nineties. I've heard reports of its successful use since, at least, the 80's decade.

I hope those devices can swiftly be fully scientifically validated and reach all needing regions of the world.

Fair point, but in the specific case the differences matter indeed. StumpWM is coded and extensible in Common Lisp, while Emacs use Emacs Lisp and Guix is built on Guile Scheme - both not CL conformant.

it's a very lispy stack, otherwise!
