Challenge:
Show off a cool Lisp concept you've recently learned about. It can be anything from FORMAT tricks to making your own special forms.

Let's settle this, once and for all:

I've already asked in Stupid Questions but I believe a dedicated thread is better for this.

Any recommendations for quiet PSUs?
Is fanless the way to go? I'm getting this thing in order to put it in a mini-ITX build.

So far, I'm considering SEASONIC SS-520FL2.

How can you wipe the data on these before an RMA? It would really suck if they just take the flash chips out, put them on another PCB, and then send it to some random guy who can get all the information I had on the drive.

I microwaved it for about twenty seconds and it got really hot, and I could see a few sparks, but I read on Stackoverflow that the shielded nature of the drive might keep the NAND safe and push all the current to the controller, destroying it instead. Is that bullshit?

Has anyone got this to work on Firefox 36/37 yet?

Clover is being gay
What do?

maybe /g/ can help me understand this

I've been getting a lot of shit like related when browsing lately, and everyone and their mother who uses Cloudflare gives a similar "Checking your browser" interstitial

is it most likely that someone on my home network is infected? or someone's cracked my wifi key or otherwise gotten access to my network and is using it for nefarious activities

or is it feasible that it's a local/regional thing where someone on the same block/general gateway for my ISP is exhibiting whatever is flagged as "suspicious activity"?

so I'm working on imgur/pomf clone. Any feature/improvement ideas? Will list all the features later.

It's built on Flask(Python) and it's my first "bigger" project that I created by myself.
