> /g/ convinced me to join Linux (Debian (Stable)).

Is it possible to make a persistent portable OS installed on a USB flash drive or an SD card with a USB adapter?
> SD card VS USB Flash Drive for bootable OS?
Which solution is faster and reliable?
Will it act as a normal HDD?

Also will I encounter any slowdowns doing this?

Are Macs not such a meme as I thought?

The base model mac wins in almost every important category over the XPS:

>Better CPU and GPU performance over even the top tier XPS.
>Much better screen with more area, the QHD+ screen on the XPS wins, but is much much more expensive.
>Build quality miles better, checked for myself in a store.
>Trackpad and keyboard (subjectively) better.
>A very fast SSD, however the upgrade to 250gb is an insane 400€ more.
>Two full speed Thunderbolt 3 ports vs. the XPS 13's one at half speed.
>Much better speakers

Where the XPS wins:

>User-replacable parts, but it's just the SSD and the WiFi card.
>Smaller bezels, but a smaller screen overall with a THICC bottom bezel.
>More IO, but you need a dongle with both laptops.
>Quieter and does not throttle, the Mac still wins in performance.
>Is not only for women and homosexuals.

But the Mac is much more expensive, right? Well where I live the base model Mac is 1440€ and the base XPS 13 is 1530€ (i5, 8GB, 250GB)

So does the Mac have the XPS beat? What would you guys go with, ignoring the OS?

For the last few weeks I've been studying the SICP meme. And boy, it's a lot of fun. Thanks for pointing me int the right direction, /g/.

However, apparently nobody is using MIT Scheme for anything apart from learning SICP. So I'm wondering what I should learn next:
CL, Chicken Scheme, Racket or Clojure?

I had a brief look at Clojure and found it pretty interesting. Check my FizzBuzz:

(defn FizzBuzz []
  "Just the usual FizzBuzz..
  But multiline comments are kinda cool, eh?"
  (doseq [i (range 1 101)]
    (println
      (cond
        (zero? (mod i 15)) 'FizzBuzz
        (zero? (mod i 3)) 'Fizz
        (zero? (mod i 5)) 'Buzz
        :else i))))

But I'm also considering Racket, since it seems pretty cool. I'd love something that not so many quirks, is actually used in the wild, has decent Libraries, can be used for many different things and most important: has good web frameworks.


Any recommendations and opinions welcome...
