For Common Lisp to support converting [1 2 3] to a vector: ; [] to #() (defun bracket-reader (stream char) (declare (ignore char)) `(vector ,@(read-delimited-list #\] stream t))) (set-macro-character #\[ #'bracket-reader)

I experience a kind of jolt when I read lispy syntax mixed with constructs like [1, 2, 3]. It shouldn't be a big step to make a syntax for #(1 2 3) or (make-array 1 2 3) instead. Get rid of that infix comma syntax! Then there is the reco

One should change passwords on an irregular basis (a regular basis is weaker protection than an irregular basis). This is just an additional layer of security, not a perfection. If the password has ever been compromised, a password change

Wow, that component's approach is a nice idea. That component ALSO handles keyboard changes to the date.

I have to do a ton of clicking to get to last year. It would be much faster to be able to type in arbitrary dates, too, and have the calendars update to reflect those new dates. And when I altered the date text in the editable field (the

If a girl asked you if she was fat (and she was) are you going to tell her that she is fat? An old coworker of mine had some fun advice... He said if his wife asked if some outfit made her look fat, and it did, then he would say so. He w

2) Do you really need jQuery there? You seem to be using it only for the html method, and including 93K extra JS instead of just using innerHTML seems a bit overkill. It checks for the case that .innerHTML setting is not supported (I thin

To the folks putting down ORMs: what is your alternative to solve the same problems? (A positive note would be nice.) For my work, using something with a Data Mapper strategy has been useful.

It is. :( I have few accounts on the net, so I have rarely run into this except on sites I do not care much about. However, I understand others differ in habit. It is hard enough to remember one password per account.

by Xurinos 14y ago
I agree. I put random garbage in the security question answers, a password so hard to crack that even I never remember it. ;) In other words, I opt out whenever I get the chance.

As I recall in my reading of SICP, one of the first big chapters actually hints towards OOP but has you designing it from the ground up. They never call it OOP, but it is heavily leaning towards it; they just happened to set it up using cl

Procedural has a static state of flow working from the program controling the data and OOP has a lose state of flow working with the data controlling the program. Would that be a easier true definition? No. (What is "static" vs "loose"?

I found a blog post that gives a rundown on the evolution of MVC ( https://billkrat.wordpress.com/2010/12/23/hello-world/ ) and links something similar to the document I had originally read ( http://heim.ifi.uio.no/~trygver/1979/mvc-2/1979-

Naturally, I meant nothing personal to you. Would a bug report suffice? ;)

I suspect this is because most people do not actually understand what MVC is and how it applies to server-client relationships; in fact, the wikipedia article on MVC is slightly off on the subject, assuming one accepts the original Xerox de

Well, if he's like me, he has it selectively enabled/whitelisted for trusted sites (NoScript or Chrome's JS settings).

He has JavaScript disabled. The code samples are provided by github's gist stuff. It's an interesting example of JavaScript being used to render rather than enhance, complete with a lack of graceful fail.

Am I the only one who feels like commentary that categorizes "good" and "bad" programmers is unhelpful? One can make a good case for somebody having more appreciable traits than another, but I would be loathe to call either "good" or "bad"

It becomes dangerous if you have changes in your working tree. You truly lose those changes with a "git reset --hard HEAD" or the forced checkout.

It's funny -- I think this is where some of the conflict lies. With git, you can do a bunch of commits with crappy comments and then, when you are ready to publicize it (push, whatever), you can use rebase to pretty up your commit history.

What scares me is there is next to no choice on buying these, particularly if they are fast. There is an extreme advantage to people having easy access to information as it is presented in the video. Moreso than smartphones, it is a game

Thank you... This seems like one of those basic things we should learn in elementary school -- the healing rates of various parts of our body. We should know what needs the most protection/care. I still do not know that information, and i
