Would they hold property in the US if they weren't US citizens ? I mean, what's the point ? Can this be used against the Chinese defence manufacturers, who are rumoured to have benefitted from the attacks on Lockheed-Martin ?

G.W was a Goog-Magoog mumbling idiot, http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/andrewbrown/2009/au... (yes, he may still have been good). That said, I think Ron Paul is awesome - although IMO he's a bit

Man, what's with Obama ? He vetoes the insignificant Keystone, but allows Arctic drilling (competing with Russia now, are we ?). Now this ? (Okay the Iran deal is promising).

Surely the Chinese in all their Wisdom know the futility of these threats ? Besides, I'm sure it is easy for them to manipulate US senators by giving them campaign funds.

Wouldn't financial sanctions hurt the US a lot more than it does China ? I mean they've Tibet for the trump card after all; Cyber-attacks are kid-stuff. (P.S: I sympathize with the Tibetans; but there is really no political will t

"World's craziest democracy" - that really made me smile :) I don't think the Indian Government's competancy in IT (and many other things) come close to that of China; but hey atleast we don't have a muzzle ove

You speak as though, these things wouldn't have come without the British; I'm sure Japan today is a poor backwards country, for they weren't blessed with the act of "civilizing" by the cross. Pah!

I couldn't agree with you more on this! But there is more to it when it comes to India, it is mostly that "nobody really cares". It is sad that while India is develops, it is rapidly leaving its many languages behind when it

Yann and his group have moved to Torch 7. I think the last commit on LUSH was from ~2012 (I could be wrong). It also doesn't come with Lexical scope, or CLOS support (again I could be wrong). It is very impressive though.

I like my math infix, and my programs in prefix; Dylan - atleast the newer incarnation - does not fit the bill.

Well, sure you can't exactly copy what Numpy does, but it is not too difficult to do what they do with CLOS. I think getting the slicing sematics right is crucial for making things easy, and without an infix reader it is hard, for a Li

See, https://github.com/matlisp/matlisp/tree/t2 The classes (and methods) are now "dynamically compiled" -like FEMLISP.

Sorry, I guess I should fully weigh the connotations of the words I use. I certainly am not Anti-Growth; but I do believe that per-capita Growth can be accomodated with a decrease in the nominal economy. I think, as yet, the only known, sur

You'd be surprised by how much less elegant CL is, right off the bat. Thankfully, however, one can tweak it in so astonishing a way - I still miss parameterized types though - that once you realize the nature of your problem, and put i

Getting API right is hard because you have no idea about the scope of your project at first. It is easy to get initial inspiration from other projects, but I still believe that having an API set in stone is a bad idea; Matlisp itself has li

There is a new - more MOP-py - branch I'm working on, which is yet to be finished (ping me if you'd like to see a preview).

India, a police state ? You're kidding, right ? It's government is supremely incompetant, but a evil police state, it is not. If anything, it is a functioning anarchy with a - largely - parasitic Government.

There are C++ libraries which have claimed to do this. I use this regularly in Matlisp: https://github.com/matlisp/matlisp/wiki

I don't, really; the obvious one of using unregulated power, bring in far too much chaos, and hence useless. I'm actually surprised that this view is so unpopular here...

Very sad, and yet, sadder still is that we don't see ourselves for the locusts we've come to be.

I'm given to believe, that given, all the comments, the one who espouses the Middle path is equally demonized by both camps in the Manichean's world. I will not deign fools with answers.

I certainly agree with the author's conclusions. Frankly, I think the discussion on Anthropogenicity of Global warming is irrelevant. We are in an era, aptly called the Anthropocene, where Humans, while spreading like cancer, are basic

I think Science to non-scientists becomes a matter of Religion, and for us who actually do it, it becomes a matter of Philosophy/Spirituality - if you forgive the medieval imagery of that sentence.
