Good times! While memory hungry, it featured really great preemptive multi-threading. I happily ran 2 DOS apps and X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter at the same time. One of the DOS apps was a BBS node that happily exchanged data when someone called i

I also like how people ignore all the other toxic cases produced by burning fuel. As if CO2 is the only problem. Apparently, spreading CO, SO2, NOx, VOCs, O3 is just fine

I will never understand why anyone would want to use a compiled language to do front-end development. The beauty of JS and especially the beauty of ClojureScript is that you can immediately see the effects of your work in an interactive env

An interesting article, but flawed. Comparing the Triassic Period and its warmer climate to our situation is misleading. The speed of change is what is unprecedented here, thus only comparable to other more catastrophic events in Earth&#x

Jesus. Joking not allowed on Hackernews. Thanks for the downvotes. You know, before emojis we had these things called smilies, which are composed of several different characters to express some intent. It works like this ;) - aka wink wink,

I just shopped around for an EV and Toyota had no compelling offer at all. Nothing, zilch, nada. And for the first time - after having a 1984 Ford Escort as my first ride - I decided to go with a Ford. They have the first real competitor to

deps can't produce stable builds as it insists dependencies are not ordered. Yet on the classpath they are. That order shouldn't matter, but it very well does. lein AFAIK produces the same classpath every time. deps: Maybe put the

Yes, tokenization is regular. Parsing the tokenization result of a Dyck language still requires as context-free grammar. It's not a badge of honor or a great trick to try that with regular expressions. It is using the wrong tool for th

Please don't use regular expressions to parse Dyck languages. It doesn't work.

Security researchers will also happily sell their tools to law enforcement and other agencies. Companies like cellebrite specialize on that. In short, if you are being targeted (and, granted, the chance of that is pretty low), your data and

Doesn't help if you don't control the ends of the end-to-end part. We don't control iOS nor Android on most devices. In general this holds: There's no privacy on the internet.

Your ISP sees everything. It might not be able to interpret and filter everything though. Try traceroute google.com for example to see (some) of the hops your data packets are going through.

Did you just compare passing data to passing functions? Because absolutely nothing about transferring data is specific to the program language paradigm chosen. Here's a task for you: Build a graph of objects holding state with your cho

No, you really couldn't... There's no err uranium involved in that one. Also, the costs of uranium mining are insane. And with lithium-free batteries around the corner, that comparison gets even more ridiculous. https:/&#x2F

I find it hard to reconcile these goals with the language you created: Monads, applicatives etc: That is a steep hill to climb for beginners. Any ideas how to guide them along? And it is also not clear how programming languages or computing
