Tech companies must use their advertising networks to influence public opinion on these issues. Instead of ads for products/services, they should allocate space for ethical and moral issues. Staying 'politically' neutral is n

A study of consciousness which doesn't include psychedelics is very limited. Studying consciousness by looking at the brain is like trying to figure out where a car goes by studying the mechanics of the car. Yes, the car moves because

Who writes all these viruses ? I mean, I've experimented with assembler when I was a teenager and I may have developed some kind of program which could replicate itself.. but I highly doubt today's viruses are written by teenagers

To put it succinctly: most of the Internet exists due to advertising - which is - most of the time, misinformation and/or lies. Given the competition out there, you just have to misrepresent, overemphasise, paint in favourable light o

Oh yes, the JVM is a pain.. 30 seconds just to start the app is a tough sell for a naturally-speed-obsessed C++ coder like myself. I've used 'the JVM argument' to justify putting the language aside for a year or so, but now I

I'm not sure if this is the 'right' way to do it, but here's how I do it with Cursive (should also work with other editors): 1. In project.clj, add the nrepl port for figwheel: :figwheel { :nrepl-port 7002 } 2. S

Fantastic work! I've tried implementing something very similar for Clojure, but I thought I was insane so I stopped :) Notice how close to the lisp syntax these visualisations are, eg: (* 3 5) or (* (+ 8 7) 2) Visual representation

This is cool. Next step is obviously teaching it how to kill people in the game and get away from police. I'd like to see the AI go on a rampage and win :). That should be enough to wipe off a lot of smiles off our idealistic faces :)

Ok, so sometimes one is slower, sometimes faster. One interesting variable to look at is how much faster/slower exceptions are. Are we talking orders of magnitude ? Last time I used exceptions was in the year 2000 (I kid you not). I

I don't think Clojure is .. that .. to Java. Clojure is a language which compiles to JVM byte code, which is also the platform that java compiles to, so (as consequence of that) they can interoperate. But I don't think Clojure w
