His definition is the actually existing one I'm afraid, that is, the one shared by the people who define your paycheck.

It's only your fault. You need to embrace reality, stop begging and start demanding money from the powerful that are exploiting your work. You will end up with less entitled ungrateful users, more money, and I might end up developing m

Well that's because they literally sound like $50 ones. When it comes to sweat I believe balanced armature drivers tend to last much longer than dynamic drivers.

My experience is that even writing "idiomatic", CLOS heavy code tends to be faster out of the box than most dynlangs out there. Writing close to C++ code requires a lot of manual work and is probably not even worth it unless for o

Like I said I've never had an issue. Most people that complain about Perl got filtered hard by references.

I never had an issue maintaining Perl codebases because contrary to the many developers that speak ill of it I actually bothered learning the language.

I have two deaths in the family due to pulmonary embolism. One the first week after the first AstraZeneca shot, the other after the first week of Moderna booster. Another one had a stroke just the day after the booster, and is still unable

Yeah it sounds like 1x cope.

Huh, just for clarification, the code I wrote was never intended to be something that was meant to be abstracted away with a macro.

by TurboHaskal 4y ago
Lisp macros are really cool. Programming is not satisfying to me without a similar feature. But, most people are happy with just typing and copy pasting stuff around. They don't care. I've shown them before and after macro refacto

This one is really good. I no longer work with Perl but it's one of the books that had the most impact on me. There are many things to take away from it no matter the language you code in.

Fascism is both reactionary and revolutionary, and opposes progressivism. It also has its roots in the modernist movement.

Wait isn’t fascism modernist?

Or you can just get a pair of ER2SE/ER2XR which are cheap, go deep and isolate just as well.

Do you know how good SML's concurrency story is these days? I tried http://mlton.org/ConcurrentML but gave up due to lack of time and the state of the documentation.

It's such a shame that funding and publication bias do not seem to be a concern for many and is even treated as taboo. Scientism is an organized religion at this point.

I switched from SBCL to CCL for some web services due to issues with the former's GC. Seeing how some developers greatly preferred the native Hemlock environment over Emacs, I made the switch globally without many issues. These days I

Definitely. My last job prospect would have required me to lock myself in the room for a weekend or more doing a chain of low dopamine tasks. I have done take home projects before, which often resulted in low ball offers. At most it made me

So it had to be scrapped due to the same reason why it got written in the first place. Poetic.

Keep doing boosters every N months and the risk of myocarditis will eventually be greater than Covid.

YMMV I guess. Based on experience, I'll take leetcode or a whiteboard interview over wasting a weekend doing another one of those take away projects. Any mention of these gets a hard NO early on during the interview process.

That's really cool, but you should then be aware that what you are describing is a subset of what homoiconic languages offer as "data is code". Some time ago I wrote a sort of DevOps tool in Python (because I know better than
