That is definitely very interesting! Writing a parser/compiler for 'x' language tends to be a component of many interesting projects, and that's definitely a good start -- thanks :)

I've always wanted to write something like regular expressions for lists of objects. So, for example the example of writing a parser, one could use a regex to match chars to tokens, then write another that gathers tokens into blocks an

My impression of Elm was that it's trying to create a platform for real-time interaction (e.g. games, UIs, etc.) that happens to target the browser. There's a constant undercurrent of practicality in the community: for example, ne

Mildly off-topic, but does anyone else find it odd when people wonder what the function of a naturally evolved object is? I mean, you could ask that of a module in some code or a part in a car, but the moving bits in organisms came about th

Could you point an interested reader towards some stats :) ? I wanted to pick up Frege for a hobby project some weekend soon and would love to read more about the JVM up-and-comers.

Behold, the problem net neutrality has searched for: Bell Mobility circa 2013 [1]. For $5, you could buy either 10 hours of Bell Mobile TV™ or ~1.5 hours of Netflix (not including your subscription) [2]. Assumptions below. The story has a h

Unfortunately, as you're keenly aware, the software development industry has a tendency to attempt to reinvent itself every few years. It might stop eventually. For the specific problem of python, consider using 2to3.py to catch most p

It's starting to come together :) I'll keep an eye on your repo; I'm still curious about various specifics that will likely be elaborated upon in time.

It was more of a rhetorical question, with the remaining literalness directed at the OP :) but yeah, those are fantastic examples! The Berlin Brandenburg [1] was what came to mind immediately, but you're absolutely right that history i

1. Aah, makes sense. 2. The similarity with openshift is due to their Marketplace [1], but it pretty much ends there. Sandstorm as well for much the same reason (easy deployments of premade services). 3. Mmhm, makes sense. As for documentat

Actually, that's an excellent point -- how do buildings/bridges/etc. actually get built? I mean, laugh if you will, but can you not think of any examples of construction projects that straight up ran out of money and had to h

Zero offense intended; the following are my honest-to-goodness impressions of your product. 1. I have no idea what it is. DIY (presumably) microservices? And, there's a way to use AWS without servers (is this a reference to Lambda?) Th

Seeing this run through an equivalent of the deep dream visualizer could be really interesting -- what _are_ people looking for in thumbnails? I'm having difficulty imagining what features would even be relevant in such a situation.

Not sure if I'm reading this right but per the NCHS (via the CDC)[1][2][3], in 2013, for people aged 15-24, ~6500 died relating to motor vehicle injuries whereas ~6000 died relating to firearms (although ~2000 of those were suicides --

Fair enough, I suppose. Still, I'll miss reading the occasional post outlining Linus' outbursts on the kernel mailing lists when that day comes.

Aah, brilliant -- and they even have a book :D thanks for the recommendation!

This brings up a point that's been nagging at me for a while: does making a community more inclusive necessarily mean making it less distinctive? GenderDetector (formerly SexMachine [1]) is another example of this process, wherein what

I certainly could (and actually hadn't thought of doing that; the hype was really getting to me)! Part of the difficulty is in fixing the setup process, though, as over the years this system seems to have accrued a fair amount of -- sh

Bother you for a little advice? I'm working at a mid-sized tech company and am evaluating Docker for CI, testing and limited, internal deployment usages. The services in question are built with a hodge-podge of shell scripts and build
