   I think the standard answer is that corporations are less restricted because they are not able to enact those policies through force. The government can fine you, imprison you, etc. regardless of what you think; however, you don't have

   Just to play devil's advocate, to achieve this always-working guarantee you could: stage, commit, stash your working directory, test your code, and then unstash.

   I don't think that's as unreasonable as you make it sound. Laws should not be the knee-jerk reaction to every problem; there are many who think they should be effectively be a last-resort measure (when there truly is no other alte

   True, but we don’t have nearly the same amount of evidence for the nature of consciousness as we do for the structure of the solar system... instead, we’re relying largely on philosophy and “self-evident” facts.

   Totally agreed... I wish I had her talent ;-) Hackett actually inspired me to start a project that goes in the opposite direction, i.e. from LISP to Haskell rather than Haskell to LISP. I'm a PL amateur, so it's been really intere

    Maybe it's Xray? https://github.com/atom/xray (I'm personally super-excited to see how Xray turns out!)

    This is what I’ve always assumed, but then I’ve heard from more than one place that some of string theory’s 26 dimensions are too small to observe, or are in between other dimensions, or other (seemingly) weird stuff like that. I obviously

    Steven Pinker definitely talks about Koko in The Language Instinct ... IIRC, let's just say he doesn't have the highest opinion of the experiment ;-)

    After just learning about Contraption Maker from the comments here, I couldn't stop myself from buying it.... So far, I'm pleasantly surprised – it's close enough to TIM that I'm happy! So, maybe being stronger than I wa

    As someone who lives in Arizona myself, it is a bit strange to have (virtually) the rest of the world change their clocks without us... makes scheduling remote meetings difficult, if nothing else. (On the other hand, we don't have to w

    I read about isomorf yesterday... it might be kinda like what you're looking for? Possibly relevant blog post from Brian McKenna, too: https://brianmckenna.org/blog/polymorphic_programming [1] https://i

    I've considered pitching it, I'll be honest... We stumbled upon a pretty nice architecture via trial-and-error, but when I read about re-frame recently, I realized that it was the exact same thing except in a cohesive framework an

    I'm a JavaScript developer, and (much to my delight) my team recently switched to a much more FP-heavy style (for example, switching from Flux to Redux for our React app... we even used PureScript for a bit). The differences were night
