Can anyone recmmend a FOSS solution for converting an .azw file to .epub on Debian that isn't Calibre?
I thought maybe pandoc could do it, but apparently not.

Oh, this bottle of coconut water has "no added sugar"; I wonder if it's okay for my diabetes?
*checks the macros*
(It's roughly equivalent to a can of coke.)
*drinks it anyway*
A question for the #lisp folx:
What, if anything, is the difference between #'(lambda ...) and just plain (lambda ...)?
They seem functionally equivalent to me.

I've been taking a bunch of tests to qualify for a transcription job. They're not easy and I need a perfect score to pass. I finally failed one of the tests but managed to pass it on the retry.
They're really picky about their style guide. Fortunately, it basically amounts to syntax rules and I've been dealing with compilers that are equally picky about syntax for decades.
It also helps that all throughout my schooling my mother worked at the local university proofreading research scientists' papers and she insisted on proofreafing all my essays too.
I never thought I'd end up being happy about that.
After a closer review of the style guide, I have come to realize that the question I was repeatedly getting wrong was one that wasn't even on my radar as a candidate. I misremembered a stupid trivial detail from the guide.* I was rabbit holing on the wrong two questions, one of which I still maintain can be argued to have two correct answers, but I now know which one they're looking for.
Not looking forward to sinking another ~5 hours on this thing.
* That would have had virtually zero impact on my ability to successfully do this job.

Got my hands on a #shortwave radio, but the fact that I live in a giant concrete box doesn't seem to be helping my reception. Seeing what I can do about that.
Are there any broadcasts that are worth catching that I'd be able to get in Southern Ontario?

in reply to Jonathan Lamothe • • •(lambda ...) is just a macro call that expand in the other form.

in reply to Jonathan Lamothe • • •Seemingly plain (lambda () ...) is a macro that expands to (function (lambda () ...)). #'(lambda () ...) uses a reader macro to expand to the same (function (lambda () ...)).

Function is a special operator that returns a function. It takes either a function name or a lambda expression. The second case is what is happening here.
clhs.lisp.se/Body/s_fn.htm#fun…
A lambda expression is a list of the symbol lambda, a lambda list, and a body.
