Actual fracturing wouldn't necessarily be in his interest, but I guess we can assume that's not the goal anyway. The goal would have to be silencing the social media presence of the right, a return to the status quo ante of publ

Sure, glad you asked. Salaries will rise by exactly 13.6% within the first year.

Stunt, then, as AirBNB isn't providing any free housing. You're just going to browbeat people who offered "housing to displaced neighbors and relief workers" to underwrite "your" provision of housing to peopl

So AirBNB isn't providing any free housing. Seems you'll try to browbeat/hoodwinkle people who volunteered to offer "housing to displaced neighbors and relief workers" into providing free housing to people who are

> "Seriuous question, ...jerk" That, and the black and gray "striping" of whole threads that is now as predictable as it is annoying, is why I have started flagging. Never felt like flagging articles before.

I could by an argument it may cause the Apple ecosystem to have mostly "ports" and few original/exclusive apps. Would that turn into a downward spiral? Don't know.

If you mean that "elected president is literally Hitler" and related themes have been mainstreamed so thoroughly and quickly as to be the new normal already ... I think you should be afraid of the power of the press more than of

Over the top political agitation like this (or Scott Aaronson's from yesterday) used to get flagged reliably. Why not anymore?

It's cute signaling. It won't happen. Even if it would, he'd settle in nicely into his new professorship at Technion.

I expect this to be useful, enough so that I planned on adding it to a (non-CL) language implementation. (But it hasn't happened yet, so I can't report from experience.) BTW, while everybody in this thread seems to think that part

Your "solution" is still more boilerplate than content and befuddles people used to lisp by evaluating in the function namespace an argument in non-function position. Common Lisp simply can't approach the succinctness and ele

I'd count ubiquitous currying a design mistake in a dynamically typed language. All your "wrong number of arguments" errors get caught late. (But the real problem with common lisp is that its version of (+ 2) is the ridiculou

Make that a functional programming language without mutually recursive first class local functions. (In the case of Lisp/Scheme, no labels or letrec )

Maybe because you wrote "increasing access times", which could be read as "skip lists are slower." Not what you meant, probably.

There are many things Apple or Google could do to encourage the development of new mobile ecosystems outside the duopoly.

I've used this. If the comparison is with writing an interpreter for whatever you want done, here's how I remember the tradeoffs. Using DynASM itself was smooth sailing. It is officially undocumented, but like the site says, the c

One of the usual arguments about why people adblock is tracking. These people don't use Chrome anyway.
