Don't worry, done and done. I play with Common Lisp on my machine, and I definitely dream of writing a web app in Clojure and Clojurescript once I finish some Java coursework. Things will slow down and I will understand the underlying

I wanted to get back into programming largely bc of what I read here and on my collection of programming Reddits. So much interesting and beautiful stuff. And I know the increasing popularity of the JVM (if it ever wanted), is that the JVM

Just the kind of analysis I was looking for. Thanks.

by 616c 12y ago
So Scala or Clojure it is? Honestly, I am starting to learn Java as a very amateur programmer and this is over my head. Are the other JVM languages actually doing better as they were architected differently from their core, the models for

My bad, I assumed it included highlighting, but it appears it is just auto-complete from Clang. https://github.com/brianjcj/auto-complete-clang That being said, if the core infrastructure is there, the hard part (Clang

Very cool that you replied, you are one of the founders, right? Are people directly exposing Couchbase/CouchDB at the frontend? A lot of people poo-pooed that idea (NEVER EXPOSE DB TO THE INTARWEBS!), which was the neatest idea, no ma

by 616c 12y ago
Maybe I am mistaken, but was Couchbase not forked by one of the original CouchDB developers, with hot paths of code rewritten in C and employing memcache to increase the speed? http://www.couchbase.com/couchbase-vs-couchdb

Oh, that's sad. I had not looked at his history. Always happy to see people put money where their mouths are and put out some code, unlike me of course. I just sit there pontificating.

I guess it is ... nice to see Couchbase again. I will not speak about them because I know little. They did open source their components, but in dumping ground style without full instrumentation, meaning they had inline instructions with a

And the funny thing, as guy in the IT department, is people come to fart around (Vonnegut's sense, not literally) in our office and chat us up. I get the best of both worlds! Computer at my fingertips, and travel through novice conve

Is there any good introductory info on K lambda? I did some quick Googling and Wikipedia searching, I did not find a singular article about this, not general lamdba calculus or something useful to a complete novice like me.

So true. I am watching this video and I am very impressed. I am a novice programmer, but from what I read on HN the Shen system hits all cylinders a lot of the more powerful advanced programming paradigms. I am a Shen outsider and there

Also interesting and worthy of note is that this project transitioned to BSD recently, and they are doing it as part of a donation drive. http://www.shenlanguage.org/shenbsd.htm I am an amateur Lisper, and like others I whi

by 616c 12y ago
Now, I understand that is BSD licensed, but I am bothered by their proud "we support OSI, but never GPL" attitude. I wonder what happened to the original developer, but does anyone know why he has GPL issues? Yes, I know he is n

The community is bizarre, I will not lie, but the original developer did release a book quite recently using Shen, although Shen might not be the focus. http://www.shenlanguage.org/LPC/lpc.html

For a fun anecdote, I once heard a very cool Red Hat employee talk at the LUG in Washington, DC. This was years ago, when Iraq was even worse than now (ironically "the first second time" I would call it). He said there were a han

Yeah, I here you. In my day job, I do sysadmin work, not programming, and decided to install org-mode to write docs and notes on my laptop. I now make a point of not ever opening up the init.el file unless it is Friday. No way in hell wil

As always, very cool stuff, Amir. I have been watching your MirageOS stuff from afar, although I am very amateur in the prog scene and do not know OCaml yet. I had a few friends go back to school and study OCaml recently, mentioned this s

If you ever take a Sufi Islam class, it is introductions to quotes of Rumi like these that will ruin you forever. God I love his work. There is a whole school of Sufi sects known as drunk Sufis, drunk on their love of God, so to speak, and

Thanks for shedding real data on the issue. I was skeptical myself. I checked out Poettering's Google+ profile and see no mention of this yet, and I was kind of surprised.

I am kind of disappointed that there is some baity qualities to this article, specifically referencing how Linus chewed out a systemd developer. He did that, but I recall it not being directly related to his work on systemd and it negative

You know, it is pretty funny that some people on Reddit linked to a talk from aaronsw (AKA tenderlove) about Ruby on Rails performance issues and performance regressions. In the middle of the video he cracks up and points out he went down

I could respond with snark and derision, but the short answer I will give is: you wanna help Gazans, and maybe help those who help Gazans. Socio-political or ethical network effect, if you will. I know many Palestinians where I live and wo
