Could someone who downvoted this post please offer feedback? I do not understand why this comment did not contribute to the discussion.

Which Lisp did you use? Common Lisp / SBCL?

Yes, and a lot of that can also be traced back to the built-in macros that Clojure provides and encourages. Macros like apply, ->, ->>, partial, memoize, and even . just make it so much rarer that a developer needs to write a macro

No doubt. The ability to create a Clojure wrapper around an existing Java library makes bootstrapping a "new" library much faster, while also providing a bridge to Java programmers.

The point the author brings up about the lack of Lisp modules in 2005 is an interesting one and reminds me of the article "Why Perl Didn't Win", posted within the last few days. Browsing clojars.org, a Clojure repository, rev

I find there's a trick to reading stack traces that actually makes them not so bad. If you focus just on lines that reference your classes, there aren't that many lines to look at. From there, you can usually see the point at whic

You did well, but it could be improved by giving an example of how mutability burned you in the past when trying to debug, or how functions are much easier to reason about, or even how significant state mocking code simply isn't needed

If Clojure was better suited for scripting, that would amazing. It's one area the language could be a bit better about handling. Setting a quick leiningen project to create a "Hello world!" certainly works and is relatively q

Would an optimizing compiler be able to understand these chains such that it would be a net gain on execution time?

This is a fascinating finding. Does this also imply that an individual might have number-copy variants across his/her own body?

Could you send me an email (see my profile)? I'd be interested in learning a lot more about how you have your system set up - training, testing, databases, hosting. I've had trouble finding a good resource for how to do so.

Would you please consider modifying or extending this presentation to include other basics? You did a great job at making Docker finally understandable as a whole. I'd love to see more of your writing on this topic.

Clojure can also do this, since it has a Typed module [1]. [1] https://github.com/clojure/core.typed

This actually seems like a great program for automatically generating adversarial examples to improve OCR. A human could rate this text as being illegible or legible. Each example can then be added to the training data to improve its qualit

I am not arguing that programmers need to have "punchy" titles at all. However, others clearly that some sort of term beyond those you listed is necessary, and these names are evidence of that.

A fascinating short story on the author's early year and look into the life a hoarder. The ironic ending is delicious.

These are really valuable projects. It's not only a nostalgic project to hack on. It's also a learning tool for those interested in game programming, idiomatic Rust, and C-to-Rust conversion. Even building complex software from re

It is unfortunate the shadowing did not also go to homework and extra curricular activities. This is an area that is neglected too. If he had sat through a practice, then gone home to read 200 pages and do two hours of homework, his conclus

A more in depth analysis is really needed. What the author does not adequately address is the origin of these behaviors. Writing online is public and global. Holding an unpopular view or offending the wrong group can cost a job or end a car

It is great that Ubisoft is retaining its employees this way. What is unfortunate is the wasted potential. Hundreds of talented employees sitting around with no management deadlines? This the perfect opportunity to create an internal innova

This was an appropriate exercise in link replacement. The original post adds little to the original content, basically summarizing it.

I think that it is useful for nostalgia, yes, and also as a small community. But its structure makes it inherently fragile and dependent upon a strong culture. As a result, as long as it is successful, I could see members taking pride in be

As many others have noted, the implications of this case are deep. If APIs can be copyrighted, program compatibility becomes strictly controlled by the copyright holder. [1] [1] https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2014/0

Fascinating repository. Digital historical preservation is unfortunately neglected compared to where it should be. It will be unfortunate for historians 100 or 1000 years from now when the vast majority of our interesting (to them) data i

My concern for this project is that it is so dependent on the culture of its users that is has to be strictly controlled. It cannot scale up, because a strong culture like this does not scale. There might be more Tilde Clubs over time, but

A bit off topic to the nature of the article, but regarding the title, ants have inspired the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm. ftp://iridia.ulb.ac.be/pub/mdorigo/conferences/IC.06-ECAL92.pdf

Indeed. It would be ironic if some of those less successful results were the result of hiding earlier, less successful results.

It is tragic to imagine the amount of time wasted by repeating the unpublished experiments of others. It is even more tragic to imagine that someone might be able to gain a hidden insight by finding the gaps in various negative results, wh
