Sorry it's probably just me but there is nothing syntactically obvious about ownership to me in the example you gave other than the names you gave things.

I think if you're overly using dynamic scoping in clojure you are probably doing it very wrong. I used clojure professionally for a number of years and I can't remember ever really using it.

Also this is not necessarily a universally bad thing. For example if I need to work through something from first principles as opposed to instant recall I may develop a more novel understanding. Anecdotally I have found a number of individu

It's actually quite pleasing to see much health debate in these comments. Shows life in this amazingly powerful language.

Honestly, if people continue to conflate human development with a mega corps trawling copyright material to build a mathematical model and then wrap it up and charge a subscription for it, then there's really not much you, I or anyone

Circa 80% of world trade is done in USD, and the US literally creates it out of thin air, and it will all bleed into the economy somehow, someway. Without sovereign protection you just can not compete with that, ever. It's really that

And then you grab a macro, extend it and it's great again ;)

Because they mentioned it, why on earth would you think that is not a valid response in a thread that mentions it, from my observation that's pretty much how forum like threads work. More pressingly why do you think you should police i

Why, what was wrong with code completion, it was perfectly valid before even when including some sort of fuzzing. It's like everything to do with LLM marketing buzzword nonsense. I really want to just drop out of tech until all this ob

Says who? I've been in the industry for nearly 25 years and have heard auto complete throughout but not once have I heard fill in the middle. Stop taking these blogs as oracle's of truth, they are not. These AI articles are full o

Interesting bit of synchronicity. I was recently looking into Erlang in the context of large scale data distribution and was wondering if instead of everything is a file everything is a process would be more appropriate. The rationale was t

I don't necessarily think the ideas themselves are wrong but rather the devil is in the details. A good example is the DSL one. In reality every significantly complex software system is essentially a DSL, it will have it's own col

They don't have to, but question was why it takes 100mb and you got the answer. You may additionally ask why Electron, but that's a different question after all.

They are not given a choice mate, the US has shown itself quite willing to unilaterally dispose of any government it feels to not be doing exactly what they want. And is on record to at least plan to kill it's own citizens to justify s

What are you taking about, is not artificially deterministic, it is like that by design. We are fortunate that we can use a logic to encode logic and have it for the most part so the same thing given a fix set of antecedents. We even want t

And if you borrow that money is even better because they just created the money for you to add to the GDP, and now it will have lots of sweet service fees and interest in top of that. And on a side note because US dollars are the reserve cu

The Core were good but also AMD fumbled with bulldozer which left them floundering until the Zen era. AMD has been doing pretty well from a strategic point of view, specifically in high volume data centre SKUs, and so it's hard to see

Holden was GM for quite some time anyway, Australia ceased having an independent car manufacturer a very long time ago. But Australia allow large international companies to steal all their gas at essentially 0% resource tax so it's not

Countries have run nationalise infrastructure before, and successfully. The problem is if they did not view it as nationalised infrastructure and instead viewed it as some sort of mana that would fall from open source heaven. Open source so

Because they gave up their monetary sovereignty they have very few options when it comes to funding.

```I think Rust makes a great prototyping and deploy straight to production language.``` How?

What's when more mental is that they are essentially all funding state propaganda agencies and so you're literally paying to be propagandised. Not that much of none state media is really that much better to be honest.

JSON is derived from JavaScript, it is not a strict subset. The most glaring issue is JSON number type versus JavaScript float. This causes issues in both directions whereby people consistently believe JSON can't represent numbers outs

It's possible that new execution models can be found. Tabling is one such execution strategy that many prolog implementationsc already provide.

Sorry did you read it, the point was there is literally nothing medieval/feudal except the fact that there are swords and pointy sticks.

I've now used both professionally. I look forward to hopefully using both in the same project. Though not holding my breath.
