Stop reposting that link. If someone tells people that they are doing things incorrectly, and refuses to explain how to do things correctly, then they are unhelpful and useless.

You want to do JavaScript on the desktop? No. Go learn Python and Haskell.

As is becoming increasingly common, people are conflating "functional programming" with "immutable data types" or "side-effect-free functions", neither of which are core concepts common to all "functional programming languages." It's gettin

I would like some of what the author is smoking. In addition, I would like to see them explain exactly why they think that a full language with flexible syntax qualifies as bytecode. There are so many useless assertions and falsities in thi

There are many thing in here that are already in functools, itertools (!), or the standard builtins (!!). Please do not shadow builtin names, and consider removing things that are already in itertools, as they will be faster than pure-Pytho

As far as I can tell, nobody gets chunked encoding right the first time. Or the second time. The CVEs for chunked encoding are enlightening.

Don't say "a functional language" when you mean "a member of the ML family, like OCaml or Haskell."

I'm saying that it's big . Specialization requires special cases, which require more lines of code. One should be able to reason about the entirety of a Python implementation, and that's very difficult to do for PyPy.

I hope that that never happens. CPython is still pretty readable, and reference implementations should be simple and easy to learn from. Actually, I'd like it if somebody hacked up a very very simple and naive Python interpreter and nomin

I'M...ACTING! But seriously, acting is the answer. Don't be a cold caller. Be yourself, as an actor, pretending to be a cold caller. (Actually, don't pretend to be cold caller. Pretend to be a decent, normal person.)

There have been many, many, many Java REPLs over the years. I have a feeling that you didn't do a search before writing your reply.

False. Guilt is not shame, because it is rooted in fact. The fact of the matter is that if I fail to feel guilty for oversleeping, I will eventually be fired. If I am fired, I will no longer be able to support myself. (You can see where thi

Ctrl+F "ajax" isn't finding anything, so... The poster here goes by "ajax" on more useful communication channels (i.e. IRC). He's one of the most competent hackers I've ever been able to work with, and his ethos comes through loud and clear

There are two reasons that I can think of that I have experienced. First, IPython simply doesn't behave like standard Python; you can have very obscure corner-case bugs in otherwise-normal code because of its magic. Second, if you're using

Most TAS communities have different categories for glitchy and non-glitchy runs. Take a look at http://tasvideos.org/ for examples.

Ah, as long as the generator of pieces has a couple properties, this will always work. I find this interesting, mostly because if the generation of pieces is truly random, eventually you will lose; a sufficiently long alternation of S and Z

Eugene Linden appears to be a prolific author of books on animal intellect and behavior. It saddens me that you appear unable to operate a search engine and educate yourself.

It doesn't even do that, these days. It's there to let assholes vent their rage while not filling up the queue with useless reports.

Huh. 85 lines, ignoring the explanation at the top. I wonder if this could be golfed to be smaller; my Markov generator for Time Cube is less than half the height (in Python): https://github.com/MostAwesomeDude/airbrush/blob/master/tips...

Thank you so much for doing this. I knew it was only a matter of time and it's very heartwarming to see that Glass will remain useful for hackers.

However, FORTH became quite flexible, spawned a family of Forths, and they're quite common these days. You just don't realize it. Chuck Moore was very responsible for this; he claims that there is no single canonical FORTH, but merely the F

Garbage collection. That's what all of these decades of research have led to, and that's what you should embrace. It's time. It's been time.

There is no joke. FORTH is a serious language. You can tell because it's fully capitalized.
