You CAN do it procedurally; in fact, you can do it in Brainfuck, since Brainfuck is Turing-complete. The point is, macros let you stop repetitively writing the same boilerplate code, and let you get down to the point.

It seems to me that these are separate pursuits. I suppose that if the community is smart, they will pick reasonable programming articles as well, and the two can overlap harmlessly; my worry is that smart programming communities if not giv

It can't cost that much. Just buy two tables, one for each coast.

This is not startup news. We need downmods for this purpose. (I love Lisp, but this is not a Lisp forum.)

I'm in a class on the subject at CMU, so I should be able to find out. What you said about Asimo is not quite true; for instance, one guy here at CMU wrote some code that took Asimo and constantly replanned in real time, so that he coul

It seems to me that things like this have been done in academia for a while; because I've only seen a video (rather than, say, some code or a paper), I'm unsure exactly what Dexter is doing, and whether it's different from the s

I am a current user of Blackboard, but only under duress, and would heartily welcome a replacement written by someone who actually cares about software. Under their model, even if you write the best software, it is likely that no one will c

Markets being more efficient means that customers know better what is actually going on, and marketroids have less influence over their perceptions. Sure, there are still horrid inefficiencies, like the 1000% markup on eyeglasses, but 19dol

They probably trick some people into believing that they are honest bloggers, but since people reading blogs generally expect and want the bloggers to be honest citizens, incognito dishonest bloggers can't stray nearly as far from blogg

Basically, my possibly buzzword-influenced perception is that since more people listen to blogs and other highly grassroots, internet-based, relatively honest (to the extent that they know anything) sources of information, classic marketing

Respecting licenses is all well and good, but I was never completely clear on why the full text of the book was not published on the web to begin with, since it seems clear that the bulk of the authors' revenue is probably coming from Y

Having never started a startup, I wouldn't know, but how long does the average successful startup go without hiring more people? The number of founders pretty clearly only matters during that period. And, is that the hardest part of get

So, the community that talks a lot about startups is a good idea, but taking community advice directly seems a little iffy. It may be that this group happens to be mostly composed of people who could successfully run a startup, but I doubt

It seems to me that it is useful at least to have some kind of prototype idea that can push your exploration of what you might want to do. Having *no* idea of what to do seems a little extreme, a bit like a show about *absolutely nothing*.

I commented on a topic yesterday, but today I can't find my comment, or any discussion that might have resulted from it. Obvious ways to fix this include search, a list of comments with permalinks in my profile, or a way to get beyond the f

Disclaimer: I don't have the book. Grr! Linebreaks do not appear in the comment text! The premise of the book seems to be that you're going to learn about how to run a startup by reading about successful ones-- that is, you're going t
