   I found this and given the usual interest in all things Scala and functional programming on HN, thought I'd share it. tl;dr - functional reactive programming is a nice abstraction which addresses many of the flaws in the observer pattern, e

   Covariance I was good with, but contravariance didn't click until I read that SO post. Thank you.

   Thanks for the feedback. Syntax highlighting is on my list and I know of a JavaScript library to do it. I hadn't considered autoindent; that one should be interesting.

   Script Boxr has been a small spare-time project for me over the last 10 days. The goal was to create an environment in which I could write and execute JavaScript and share it easily with a nephew who wants to learn some JavaScript. This is

   Interesting. I'd rather not be required to log in though. I went to suggest some a bed-ridden software engineer learn Clojure and gave up upon account creation. The account creation was fine, I just don't need yet another account. Perhaps y

    Clojure when viewed as a dialect of Lisp is remarkably clean and well thought out. Clojure when viewed as a functional programming answer to multicore and concurrency is stunningly beautiful in it's simplicity. If you haven't read Rich Hick

    Why wouldn't one make the comparison with the human genome? If the evolutionay mechanisms credited with responsibility for the jump from nucleobases to archeobacteria (which is still incredible, if true) can't be fully and comfortably accre

    While NASA's discovery of nucleobases as opposed to amino acids is certainly interesting, there's a long way between "hey, nucleobases on an asteroid," and "wow, the entire genome of a living creature." There's a big jump in complexity, st

    Then you didn't live in a building full of 200+ proto-adults, many of whom lacked bsaic cleaning skills, long enough... or maybe I just lived in one too long :)

    Thank you for that bit of information. I was down voted a few months ago for a comment and now I finally know why.

    I can relate. After starting a job out of college, I had to spend 40+ a week at work, and then still had my own side project(s) to work on. It's been a process for me to learn to take time off and invest in other deeply important aspects

    I would use the word create as it reminds me of both utility and aesthetics. Create also has an ex nihilo conotation, which really seems to fit abstract thought-stuff.

    An article [1] showed up on HN a while ago. In it the author gave a list of business which run their entire business on the mainframe. I work as a Java dev in rail transportation. The author is dead-on right - COBOL runs the world. 1. ht

    So the IPO would end up functioning as a wealth transfer mechanism?

    If these MICs really are your bread and butter x86, then Clojure/JVM (and immutable FP in general) will be quite a capable environment - particularly as the core count climbs...

    web surfing (is that phrase even in wide use anymore?) is the sole reason I bought a NOOKcolor... which is incidentally exactly what I'm writing this on. It is of course rooted.
