What makes you say it probably won't happen if we model the human brain?

I want to emphasize just how good this book is. It may very well be my favorite thing I've read and I was also initially skeptical when it was presented as fan fiction. I think I might restart reading it.

I was there as well, definitely one the best talks there, which is saying a lot as Strange Loop is amazing. I didn't realize he died until I saw this thread/comment :(. RIP.

I'm with you, I'm currently trying to get into freelancing.

There are next to no stable part-time jobs in programming. I don't really know what you're getting at.

This doesn't count. Working 20 hours a week but still having to sit an an office 40 hours a week makes me pretty much as horribly depressed as putting in 40 hours of effort at the same office.

60 hours a week is a big much, but if you're working on your own company then I have no problem with it. Working on your own stuff, for your own benefit, is a totally different thing than working for someone else. If you're doin

I'm definitely with you that all the people who want super easy activities to count as exercise are speaking from cognitive dissonance. I will say however that I've been lifting fairly regularly for a decent amount of time and I

Rust seems like it has by far the most to teach you coming from a dynamic, interpreted background.

So what do we do? Tons of us live here, we should be doing something. Squad up and protest? There has to be a decent number of us who have flexible ours, how about we team up and manually surveil officer Kaur for a week? Is there someone

Someone should try this and document their experience.

Where might I find your email? I've thought a good bit about this too, I actually bought extensivereader.com a few years ago as a placeholder when I was experimenting with building something, and have recently been considering attackin

I think they "lose" in that they'll be angry to see someone still making a living on the idea while they saw no returns. Or maybe they can't break free, and keeping it running would still mean just giving the profits to

If it could be run as a lifestyle business by a few partners and be profitable, why not do that?

I tried this route for a long time but didn't find it to be worth it at all. All the plugins you use will still have horrible chording style shortcuts. I'm much happier now that I'm just using vim-fireplace.

This looks cool, I'll have to check this book out. For people who are interested, this is from Foundations of Databases ( http://www.amazon.com/Foundations-Databases-The-Logical-Leve... ) and is available for free at the

I think the Clojure community manages to do pretty well in discouraging macros except as thin sugar over functionality avaible through normal channels. It also has some very complicated macros that give it a type system and lightweight thr

Glad to hear things are going well. I'm using datomic for a side project and loving it. Writing queries in datalog is easier than sql, and having the queries be composed of data structures instead of strings is so so nice.

Love this place. So nice to have a place to code outside the house where you don't feel guilty for staying all day.

Clojure/java also have lots of libraries and tools around them, as well as proper promises (where you can block and wait if you want), channels/goroutines, futures, threads, agents, reducers, etc. Erlang / Haskell / eve

Yeah, I thought coupling data and behavior was more or less the definition of an object.

I think you should check some of those languages out. Chess is used as an example in the Joy of Clojure, and I've seen it used to teach Haskell as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScS8Q32lMxA (note, you can't
