I think you got something wrong there. The source code for chain (accessible by pressing the "source" button on the top right corner of the page) is just 35 lines long and only does the chain/snake effect.

I think you almost answered your own question. callcc makes people have to understand continuations and is confusing, while "defer" fits better with the control flow that most people have in mind already.

I didn't mean to be disingenuous on my comment. I was trying to point out that suggesting more fine grained subjective rules conflicts with saying everything is anarchic because it may be subjective. It's obvious that sports evolve. I think

It seems you are not very familiar with soccer rules. Just a few comments: 1,3. is already true. There is post-morten review, we do see red-cards being cancelled and players being suspended all the time. 4. It is like this already. FIFA rul

The story is interesting, but I still can't figure out why having both their own servers and EC2 splitting 50/50 is a good idea. If EC2 dies the private server won't be able to handle all the traffic and FarmVille will stop working. If the

I agree with your Niger Delta comment, but not with your 2nd point. It really comes down to defining what "worst" means and I'm not sure is that simple to compare all those completely unique disasters (and it's even harder to put the pacifi

yes it does represent something human-produced but the number is not said to be illegal because the human-produced thing is protected. The number is deemed illegal because there is a convoluted way in which it could be used illegally. My po

I think the argument that "how can a number be owned or its posession be illegal" is mostly bogus. One could translate any string of text into a series of bits and back to a single number and say that a book or a picture is just a number. T
