as a result of my departure, they would no longer hire graduates with A grades. They would look for B or C grades from now on. Wow! What an amazing... company. I am at a loss for words, really. They must be very -- what's the op

Interesting way he counts the colors. Makes sense though, after some thought. Specifics: slide 34. Formula is (each item is a number of colors): fill + text + lines - background The minimal number would be 2, with text=1, background=

The number of airports is consistent with the number of people. But who in his right mind would want to work in TSA if they can find a respected job elsewhere? Israeli screeners, on the other hand, are respected.

Not for you and not for me, but we apparently have prior knowledge. Do not shoot it down just because you know more about it than a random reader.

Backward compatibility could be one such factor. In any case, documenting edge conditions helps in code maintenance.

Hmm. I have upvoted you automatically: in the past it did not just mean I think your argument is interesting, but also (in cases like this one) that I share the sentiment and do not want to litter HN with "+1" comments. Of course, now that

I think technically it can be an independent module, launched as the last stage of a rocket. Which, of course, also forces constrains.

What is the expected behavior of, say, multiplex('Tom', 0) or multiplex(null, 2) ?

Even in such a small function comments may serve a useful purpose. For example, they could describe edge cases , when applicable ("a null text is considered an empty string" versus "a null text is an error", or "a zero number of duplicatio

ISS looks nothing like the space stations in sci-fi I think it's because it does not have artificial gravity.

Keep in mind that while Aquamacs is better visually integrated in MacOs, some features may not work as well as in the standard (gnu) emacs.

Should be nc-nice, we are talking lisp here. Although this looks like a regular prefix. How does the namespaced elisp propose to refer to entities from other namespaces?

I set it up twice (once at the meetup), and it was not a big deal, but only because I had had prior experience in setting up clojure environments. A single emacs function to update/start clojure seems a good way to go, however I had it in t

They serve to save people time. Or to draw attention to a succinctly formulated essence of an article. They help me in focussing on the articles that may be of interest.

Yes, access to the syntax tree generated by an interpreter of the language based, I guess, on the current buffer mode, would be very helpful.

Regarding Clojure on Emacs, just use the up-to-date stuff by technomancy. The following is based on my notes from a recent talk by Phil Hagelberg at a Boston Clojure Meetup. 1. Download lein from https://github.com/technomancy/leiningen/ra

Actually, speaking seriously (for a change), I would like to see an agrep for Emacs (approximate search).

It will be shorter, maybe not by half. But keep in mind that the "reality" you are talking about is in some aspects an artifact of the language in which the rest of the software system has been constructed. For instance, some edge cases (su

Great tl;dr . Perhaps arguable, but succinct, and some food for thought. Thank you!

Thanks for the tip on Guy Steele's talks! And I agree that the cons based model of a list hides important properties (parallelism being perhaps the most important one).

\w instead of a character range might take care of that.

I agree with the other comments which mentioned that Clojure is more flexible here (works with any seq, not just character strings). A similar Java code would have to accept an enumerable parameter (not sure what it is in java, something li

This apparently refers to the people registered as unemployed (and who keep registering every week), versus people who do not get a regular paycheck. I am not sure if the latter statistics exists for the US.

Partially true. Short code may be too cryptic to be easily maintained.

In what respects?

It is much easier to move (and to immigrate) in Canada than Australia, however. Entrepreneurial spirit may be similar, but immigration laws are very different (and, although less critical, the distance from large markets).

Depends: when you "tinker with lots of things" you may end up connecting them in nontrivial ways, which is a win. But deep diving is the more usual path, I think.

I am concerned with the request for credentials. An argument should stand on its own, whether proposed by a credentialed person or not.
