I'm really not going to participate in a cherry picking contest on PL syntax and while my experience has show that Lisp is not for everyone, I'm quite surprised at the hostility shown towards it by you and other people on this pag

I disagree that Lisp is awful for developers. To me and many others it looks quite pleasant while the "other languages that look nice" actually look like a needless mess of braces, brackets, asterisks, comma's, etc. etc. Only

I'm already pretty happy we're starting to see PL tools that aren't coupled to a specific IDE like f.e. Jedi for Python. Of course an older example of this is ctags.

Why not just: if i["DupilcateAssets"] is there some Python subtlety I am missing?

I was somewhat disappointed as well. I wrote some tests here: http://paste.lisp.org/display/140280 Perhaps playing around with different internal representations as pointed out by sedachv ( https://news.ycom

Slashdot wasn't that different in its early days, a little less startup and a little more Linux.

The Google AI challenges had the bots communicate over stdin and stdout with the game server meaning they could be programmed in any language.

After having used Emacs for quite some time I really cannot care less how it looks. It grows on you. However, I can understand what it must look like to new users compared to f.e. Sublime Text or Visual Studio. Emacs isn't particularl

For me, part of getting that understanding is navigating the code and I do not always have room for another window on my screens. It seems we have different approaches to working on code, or perhaps we just use different language. The main

While I agree with most of your points it does matter to me that I can do the few editing actions I do quickly otherwise it breaks my concentration of focussing on the code. I also need to be able to navigate the code quickly but that might

I actually went through the same thing! I was also working on a voxel engine a good few years ago and when going through all the ways of turning voxels into meshes I invented my own version of marching cubes as well. When I finally found th

No, Emacs should be configured to your liking. The default Emacs keybindings (especially the more complex ones for common things) suck. That said, you're still using Vim keybindings within Emacs and for some operations that Vim has no

I've been using Emacs for 15+ years now I think and I have always found the more complicated keybindings ("chords") for common things awful. However part of normal Emacs usage is configuring it to your liking, so learn about

Could you do a little write-up on your paredit workflow. Like the post you replied to I've found it mostly annoying to use in normal Emacs and nowadays with evil-mode.

Thank you!

With the day / night cycle of the sun, the phases of the moon and, for a lot of parts in the world, the seasons I think it is pretty much a given that humans started counting time. I'm pretty curious about any timeless societies

Could you expand a bit of what I am supposed to be reading between the lines here? (If there's anything to read between the lines. I'm not trying to be a smart-ass going for karma here, I'm genuinely curious.)

I was about to comment on this as well but I saw the \subsection{headers} and thought perhaps it was a conversion gone wrong. At least, I hope so.

They will not stop, they have always been like this. There's a reason seasoned nerds do not like Microsoft and it is not just because the nerds are raging Linux fanboys. It is because of actual experience dealing with MS over a couple

It has been going that way for quite a few years, maybe it is only natural.

I develop Common Lisp the same way (against an image) and it only was a problem when I just started. Soon enough it becomes second nature to know which functions have been changed and / or knowing when it is time to start over with a fresh

Maybe because many "left-wing" people think it would actually be good to trade in a couple of years of life expectancy to make the world a better place for other living beings than just humans? At least I think it would be a good thing to f

I think Jeff Brooks compared the desktop metaphor to be more like a "flightseat"[1] metaphor. Let me look it up. Found it, and I meant Fred Brooks ofcourse: http://www.anvari.org/fortune/Miscellaneous_Collections/2734... [1] like in an ai

I've never paid attention to the C-c convention and liberally bound commands to whatever key I preferred.

by aerique 13y ago
Nah, I have remapped those keys and the problem for me is the chords which sometimes require three or more actions for commonly used commands.
567.
by aerique 13y ago
I gave up looking for the perfect set of bindings and just switched to using evil-mode. While not perfect, definitely good enough and widely used. Emacs' default bindings are also widely used but the chords are indeed horrendous.
