Maybe... At least I've got the impression that on HN reactions are way more professional, I see people here actually listening to the arguments of others and that's the least you need to keep things quiet. Most people here keep extremism ou

There is actually mainframe emulation, it can certainly be done. However, IBM is doing everything to keep that unattractive and with a bad image.

I think that's a good reason to all start using and improving the Gnash plugin. I use it for my work and it's enough for what I need it for, and one of the most overseen GNU efforts to make things free.

yes and no In Dutch (technically not too far from English) we only use past and present tense, and although we can mark the future with a special verb like in English, we often don't do that. It is perfectly possible to mark the time with a

I am Dutch so I learned English, French and German at school, but actually those are my worst languages. I really started to learn languages with Esperanto. The first merit of Esperanto was to show me that I actually am capable of learning

Absolutely. Often I can think of not directly related elements that help to solve something. Slightly off-topic: I made a shortlink doeslanguageinfluence.tk to make it easier to pass this article on.

For sure. Functional programming helps to separate a problem in small elements and to think of all kinds of creative ways to combine those elements. I basically came from imperative to functional straight away, so I cannot tell a lot about

Take a look at the registration process. You need to place a link to your profile at hackernewsers in your HN-profile to be able to sign up. I like it :).

My way to execute this algorithm is to try to get as distant as possible to the problem in step 2, taking as much experience into account as possible, and then hap-hazardly zooming in. Or something like that. And it seems to work.

Ah, but it's not bad to work for someone who has the guts to take action.

Swing can be a lot of repetitive code. Clojure has mechanisms (functions, macros and libraries) that can help you to abstract this away to exactly the way you like to write user interfaces.

I demand a benchmark. Saying that something is just false without numbers to back it up is not something I have high trust in, and is the start of the gossip that causes internet wars. First back it up with numbers, then we talk.

I am 21 years old and working as a developer at a Lisp company. The main reason I am here now is that I have a good sense of what I'm capable of, a good sense of destination and the guts to make bold moves. Let me copy from what I read in a
