And in fact, the learning of new terminology and a new syntax/libraries/etc as always made it more difficult for me to learn new languages. I now try to learn new concepts in a language I'm more familiar with, and then learn

If you're interesting in learning more about syntax-case in general, I've been learning more and FameInducedApathy on reddit sent me the following resources that I have found very useful: Macro By Example: ftp://www.cs.i

They say in the article around half their yearly pay is in the form of bonuses from completed sales. I'm sure it looks a lot like commission.

A good friend told me that he felt that Google Cloud and AWS had "a severe lack of imagination". Imagine what you could do if you didn't even assume a process model? All app state just resident in memory, but magically persis

I was kind of baffled by this too, does the BBC not have access to anyone that speaks their language? Also, the article switches between them being Japanese & Chinese tourists.. is the BBC even sure where the tourists are from? I'm

I think this is an interesting argument for something like scheme (r5rs or r7rs-small) where you could hypothetically implement an interpreter later for the same code base with much less trouble. Mind you, it probably won't perform wel

The issues are rather small. The support is what's bad. They expect you to contact them endlessly, through multiple mediums, to resolve the most mundane of issues.

God, I hope the support doesn't end up like most other Google product's support. I have webpass and my heart dropped. My project fi experience has been bad enough already.

There is a guile remake of this, skribilo, which is what I have more experience with, but scribble is the bomb diggity. Scribble-style markup languages aren't "markup", they're merely a series of reader macros on top of

Yeah, the ever present march of storage --> memory has really put a strain on our current compute architectures. Thanks for the note, will be reading more about it.

Checksums are usually very fast to compute as the ARM CPUs of any modern phone have crypto engines, and their laptops do as well. I think trading data protection for performance reasons would be pretty irrational.

A young black man with a single mother from East Orange, NJ getting into Princeton itself is the achievement. The avg houshold income is ~50k, and over 20% of their residents are under the poverty line. Yes, he skipped Econ recitations, but

That's surprising! I think the big difference between Houston's sprawl and the Bay Area's increase in density is that the style of life your parents lead is probably the same they did before. Do you think that's true?

Because now Party C can't get affordable housing. Party A blocks Party B (builders/real estate people) from builing more housing which would make things more affordable for Party C.

I'm a big scheme fan, and really enjoy programming in it.. but the lack of a real ecosystem is really starting to hurt my progress. What suggestions do you have for lisp-1 -> lisp-2? While I prefer lisp-1 + syntax-parse, I'd ra

The people who bought their houses 30+ years ago I really feel for. The change the area is experiencing is brutal, and imagine if everyone just kept asking you why you don't sell and move away from the very place you built? It's f

Good to hear that Tesla knows it's an issue. Bad to hear that they released it knowing this was an issue, because I wouldn't expect myself to be able to react to this. Humans are not capable of handling these types of nuances well

We used that quote as a joke for not learning new languages well enough. Do you mean that he would write C and link it to each implementation?

In the US, many many workplaces do not have showers. It's a huge annoyance. They are not part of building codes to have in offices.

Since you seem to ride one of these a lot, I'm curious if you ever used a long board before. How you would feel if you had to use a long board instead of a boosted board for a day? It seems insane to me to charge a skateboard, but si

It's not the opportunity of a lifetime, but it will feel like it to them. There are no journalism/writing jobs that have the kinds of perks that big tech firms have. Free lunch every day?!
