I disagree. A library works within the style and bounds of the base language. A DSL intends to re-define the base language and invent new keywords and a unique control flow.

Interesting idea, but seems impractical because it causes very weird incentives: * Can a company exist in both the "normal" exchange and the "long term" exchange at the same time? If so, can I short on the normal exchang

I agree. Functional programming should not be viewed as a tuxedo that we dust off and use when we want to be "fancy programmers." It's simply a tool in the toolbox. The best language for learning functional programming is the

> Note, also, that on a Lisp-family language, creating a DSL is very easy. I'd argue that this is a bug, not a feature. Yes, DSLs can make for elegant code, but it comes at a high cost in the form of a hidden dependency: the state o

Strange. I found that my children have caused me to be much more disciplined, productive, and organized. It's just that much of my energy now goes toward raising good kids.

1. Spend ~3 minutes stretching and doing light exercise (pushups / situps) upon waking every morning. 2. Skip breakfast. Just black coffee until lunch. The intention is to train your body to get its energy from fat reserves (a more sta

Your argument isn't sound. It doesn't matter who gives the rewards, what matters is the conditions under which the recipient receives the rewards. > Thanks to Skinner's work, brain MRIs, and more recent research by psych

Yes, commercial media is a problem because it ultimately follows advertising dollars. But what's the alternative? A blogger / amateur journalist could not have broken a story about Russia's involvement and made it stick. They

I think you are a bit confused. Credit cards only matter to Equifax and other credit scoring companies because of the "instant loan" that they give to a consumer. The banks that issue credit cards want to know if the consumer will

I agree. The author should just omit the "Made with love in $COUNTRY" line. No need for all these hoops.

Do you think GitHub has grown complacent? IMO they continue to innovate quite quickly, on multiple fronts.

What's the name for the bias whereby someone reads this list once or twice and then thinks they are immune to cognitive biases? ;-) It's one thing to read a list of biases, and another to recognize biases in the field. I've b

That's too risky. It relies on the herd running in a specific direction. I'm talking about profiting off of the predictability that exists as a result of there being a herd. You can find a way to make money no matter what directio

That's interesting. I love the idea of sites exposing various types of data through plain text files with well-known names. Kind of like (a vastly simplified) RSS feed, but for whatever. Or something vaguely like Gopher sites, back in

No offense taken. I was on Wall Street in another life. I don't know if there will be a crash. The market went up slowly, it could also go down slowly. That's the Fed's goal, it seems. I do think that any time a bunch of peop

The opposite of an open source book. I'd assume the parent is thinking of something like the "Pro Git" book, available on Github as code and licensed under creative commons. https://github.com/progit/prog

Man, I'm convinced that half of my computer knowledge comes from jumping through the hoops of the early internet to find dirty pictures. Back in my day, you had to buy a box of parts at the local computer store, put them together, buy

Yeah, I'll admit that was a strawman so I could get to my real point about requiring some digital competency before granting access to state secrets.

If that were possible, then I would agree. But in my experience, automating the boilerplate stuff just tends to expand the domain of what can be considered boilerplate stuff. If I can rename a class across my project in 3 keystrokes, then I

True, I could run a barebones [1] Emacs. But I want to align my use of the tool with the underlying ethos of the tool itself. I think of it as being similar to CISC [2] vs. RISC [3], or Chinese characters vs. the Latin alphabet. Emacs is CI
