I think you're way off with your point that we can't (or shouldn't) shun these based on the principle that monitoring is wrong. There is nothing to gain from having kids expect to be monitored and being ok with being monitore

How is it logical to condemn his friends and a company he co-founded because of something _he_ does? There is no point to it. If everyone was judged because they have friends who like to say stupid shit then I'd bet most people would b

Is there a way to fetch this as a file instead? I took a quick look at the source but couldn't see a readily available source to DL.

Mathematics will take up precisely as much space as it 'needs to' in computer science. The fact that you're arguing for some kind of effort in getting it more space says to me you're as misguided as the people who say it

I'm sad to see this. I can't say I've been using it even in the last 5-6 years, but I used to follow the NationsCup tournaments and we used to play on the ladder a lot back in the day. It truly is like seeing the pub you and

Yes, god forbid you actually listen to people in the field who have been working on what you're trying to do longer than you when they say you're not able to promise what you're trying to promise. This piece is garbage with a

Interest, maybe, but I does it really drum up any actual users? I think most people are sort of waiting to see if it'll fail or not.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the ego of the language creators seems to shine through in at least this[0] reference page, though. The most important bit I'd like to get some clarification on: > Long viewed as an important theore

This one opens really well, then the inevitable kicks in: The War on Drugs has continued for some 20 years, and we see little prospect of peace, despite the fact that it has totally failed and given the US an imprisonment rate almost equal

Are you saying this approximation makes for less powerful macros? If you are, I find that to be ridiculous, as Racket's macro system is way beyond other Lisps' macro systems. The syntax objects hold more information about scopes,

To be fair, this is how people with tiling window managers feel about the rest. It's just another step further.

It's not completely what you're looking for, but I use this[0]. I think it's great and I've been using this and only this while coding for about 8 years or something. The symbols are typed with Alt.Gr. + the keys specifi

He certainly should be able to complain about them requesting a master key even if there are keys that open individual doors.

There should be a poll option for Racket.

No one who seriously gives Lisp a chance ends up disliking it because of the parens. It's about as reasonable as disliking C/C++ because of semi-colons. It's a superficial thing to criticize because you obviously haven't

I care about them being allowed to express their opinions, but I'm also realistic enough to realize there are venues and times where those opinions should get them beat up. They can create whole movements if they'd like to, I don&

You never get to make the same joke for users of other distros, though, because it's pretty much always the arch users who feel the need to mention "cool, but I run arch so I'm all set" or whatever. It's the most ob

Getting your ass beat because you're a stupid douchebag is hardly the blow against free speech you're making it out to be. Truth is there are lots of things that make people deserve beatings that are well within the parameters of

Well, if everyone decided that "happens later" he'd most likely be dead or in Guantanamo Bay right now, so... Someone has to make a decision based on their own values at some point. Not everyone completely lacks conviction an

There's also the more obvious difference in design. Hurd was supposed to be a micro-kernel whereas Linux was a much more straight forward monolithic kernel. One requires the inter-operation of lots of systems whereas one is just one bi
