Probably a reference to Clojure's arrow operator: https://blog.frankel.ch/learning-clojure/2/ Something like a(b(c(d(e(7)))))) in Javascript could be written (-> 7 e d c b a) in Clojure?

Oh no, the man used the hallucination engine, which told the man, in a confident tone, a load of old twaddle. The hallucination engine doesn't know anything about what it told the man, because it neither knows nor thinks things. It&#x2

Indeed there were terrible behaviours, and they were fixed. My scoffing is at people who believe these behaviours should never have happened , or it shouldn't be possible . Unless there is a omnipotent tyrant, there will be the pos

You can expect that any software might do anything, either because of a bug or because it's intentional, and you won't know until you see it happen. It's why the major FOSS licenses say things like THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED &

This article smacks of paternalism. Part of the fun of free software is that it might do terrible things. Debian is not a distro that promises you a walled garden run by an iron-fisted tyrant who beats programmers into submission so they&

I don't think Debian intentionally shields you from privacy-invading software. Other distros may differ on this point. Debian does not mandate anything about privacy in its Policy Manual (which are the standards for selecting and packa

I'd propose that Parliament bind itself and say "UK Government cannot create THESE types of law". The courts can then adjudicate on whether Government did or didn't stray into self-prohibited territory. This already exis

That's not how lawmaking works in the UK. I remember an example where the UK Government decided it's OK to rip CDs you own (no, really, it wasn't legal until then), and codified that in law. The parasites that run the UK Musi

So the question is, could both Valve and Itch take on several payment processors, and choose which game on their store goes through which processor? Or would porn-shy processors have blanket rules saying your whole company can't have
