Isn't this just a modernization of old Dutch spelling of "ij"?

The home page looks like a tombstone of Common Lisp with a bunch of epitaphs on it. On the other hand, the spirit of Lisp has successfully taken over the world. The modern Lisp is called JavaScript. I am perfectly aware of all the differenc

How can one automatically translate any Haskell containing unbounded recursion into Coq?

The thing that makes me uneasy about the proposed implementation of metaclasses is that imperative code is used for code generation instead of declarative specifications. Simple examples are relatively simple and predictable, but anything m

That does not change the fact that in Python everybody writes def add(x, y): return x + y whereas the Perl codebase that I work with has every possible combination of these methods.

Is the language itself a good place for parsing/grammar handling? I could not even find in the standard documentation which kind of parsers it supports, is it LR(k)? LL(k)? Any CFG? What parsing method does it use: recursive descent, s

I cannot imagine any way of practical (ab)using this flexibility that could not be covered in Python with its only way of handling arguments.

Does anybody use P6 for any serious code?

For small tasks I enjoy aesthetics of small dedicated Unix tools (grep, sed, awk, cut, sort) working together much more. Perl tries to be everything at once, still mysteriously lacking interactive REPL out of the box. Yes, Python is more he

So, how exactly these different ways of getting sub arguments are useful? sub add1 { my ($arg1, $arg2) = @_; $arg1 + $arg2; } sub add2 { my $arg1 = shift; # possibly two screens of dense code h

A few years ago it was https://coursera.org - they were a powerful beacon of high-quality knowledge first-hand from world-class experts. I still try to learn as much as possible there, but my feeling of the site being intrusivel

For personal use, indeed, just use an ssh remote + gitweb interface with basic authentication and that's it. For organizations it makes sense to have something more featureful.

With all my respect to your desire to support SciHub, it'd be better to link to a verified page with their bitcoin credentials.

Firefox reading mode (⌥⌘R) to the rescue! I find myself increasingly using it even on decently designed websites when I need to read a lot of text.

Technically, assembly is not required for measuring stack: just use regular C address of any local variable/function argument (minus an address of some local variable in main) to have some approximation of stack usage.

It's not true that it is cheap because of the local currency low value: the IT wages were approximately the same when $1k was 8k hrn. Ukrainian IT market is mostly outsourcing and does not depend much on the internal market and local c

Exercises like this are very educational for taking magic away from version control tools. Some time ago I did a similar exercise in Haskell: https://github.com/EarlGray/omit (it also took about 500 lines of unnecessar

"CADR" should be properly called "second" instead of this dense mnemonic you have to decipher every time you see it.

The end is near! Only Haskell and purely functional programming (persistent shared data structures) will save us from persistent bugs.

Exactly, the idea of mystical living Gaia does not have any scientific value. The biosphere of Earth is indeed a huge and very complex system, but it's pointless to "animate" it, it lives according to its own laws that should

The takeaway from the Cloudflare story seems to be: don't rely on TLS encryption for critical data, since it may be compromised by third-party actions and may be completely compromised in the future.

Yep, it was a discovery for me that it's easier to go to the source code directly than to try to do something using documentation.

Well, it's your loss, the text is a pleasure to read, captivating and written with style. I often just skip many "well formatted" blog articles because they are boring and mostly meaningless.

No, "run" is Past Simple here. It took me a few moments to get that though.

Also, a separate domain, wikipediap2p.org, not (obviously) affiliated with wikipedia.org. If it were p2p.wikipedia.org, it would be fine for me.
