You might have seen me follow up comments about your work. It is very interesting. I am just starting to get into Lisp and I want to make it the first language I really get it into (in college, as a non-major, I did coursework in C++, Per

I am an amateurish Linux user and my setup is very similar to you, and I am just starting to lisp (Arch Linux, lots of stuff in Emacs, and SBCL/CCL/ECL; I am trying them all). It is very encouraging to see you work and I really ne

So I have studied this stuff a great deal, and I am a convert (for full disclosure). Beyond your biased opinion, I would love to see examples specific to Islam (which is casting quite a wide net; I am fairly controversail in arguing that Is

I was recently reading Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murikami and there is a scene mentioning his contributions to the war. I am not sure whether the historical book the main character Kafka reads is real or doctored, but the scene where th

I really like your introspection. I have read a lot of articles about startups (never started one, not even close). Given you summary here, I would definitely pay to read more of your insights. Please write more down. I am sure I am not

Do you happen to know, from a community perspective, which native Clojure compiler project is farthest along, or the most usable?

And also I think eudoxia's request in the README on Github was pretty clear about posting to HN. Haha.

As I said in the other threads, the language is great, the performance has been abysmal in relation to batch (at least for me, having started with Powershell in its first release in Vista).

I want to agree, but my major gripe using the different incantantions of Powershell (and I have tried, I am Winboxen admin often in my job and tried it before any other co-worker on Vista, obviously the story has improved since) and the sta

I am aware of Qi but the fact that the second version went completely commerical kind of sounded like a non-starter to me. Have you used it?

by 616c 12y ago
Is anyone using this, despite the license? I have seen this here on HN and elsewhere. The only reason I avoid is the weird not-so-FOSS license and key-to-the-chest mentality. I would love to hear semi-detailed experiences using it. And ar

As a guy who was way into OpenStreetMap 3 or 4 years ago, the amount of data and tools flying around now, in relation to back then, is breath-taking. Long live open data.

To not pass judgement is to be unfamiliar with Fatwire. I assure you, his assessment is very fitting.

by 616c 12y ago
HAHAHAHAH. I got to Fatwire in your comment, and I laughed my ass off. Maybe I know of people who used it for a CMS, and boy does that continue to be a nightmare. Let's say this. Someone evaluated all off the shelf CMS options for a

What concerns me is the steps are: open up home router to port 80 and pray that Cloudflare will solve all your problems? I do not know, I take time reducing the attack profile of OpenWRT and learned to use it specifically because, as we rea

You make a good point, I realized later when I was less tired and I was confusing the general type (synthetic) with agglutinative (specific sub-category). Oh well, thanks for clarifying.

Thank you. When I was taking Chinese classes in university, people would sometimes poke fun at the eccentric or badly accented English. I would as them how their Chinese sounds to their native-speaking instructors. It is strange how the re

What he is describing are aggulutinative languages. They are not that unique. I feel like a broken record, but I think Arabic qualifies (my specialty). I also think of German, Turkish, Russian. What is interesting, at least with dialectic

Haha. But in Yemen being fat is sign of power and health. (Seriously though, I have a weight problem, no way I am skinnier than you; thank the Gulf lifestyle.)

Tell me about it. But the preference for Toyota is confusing. The weight differential makes the car front heavy. So often less experienced people plant LCs face first off a dune if not landing properly. Nissan Patrols, however, are very

Ah, yes. Well, I mis-spoke. It depends which one you mean, however. There is the Toyota Hilux (Americans think Libya and Afghanistan when they see pictures of it, because people alwyas mount machine guns on them; I wanted one when first

That's funny. This is the exact kind of lingustic stereotyping we mock as pop science in intro linguistics course (at least in the US the last decade I took them).
