Someone wrote an amazing write-your-own lisp using Python tutorial, I found it amazingly consumable and it only took a weekend: https://github.com/kvalle/diy-lang

It's troubling that the judge ruled Pastafarianism as "not serious enough". That seems like a very weak argument given I don't know how you define seriousness. These people clearly pass some level of seriousness because

I'm not sure if we're talking about the same exact service, but I'm definitely using a Yubikey with Firefox for Gmail. Not sure if it's enabled by default yet, iirc I had to go into Firefox about:config and twiddle a bit

I thought the use case for things like Lambda were more along the lines of rarely used web requests that you'd save money on by not running a full box. I do remember them being slow too.

You gotta hand it to Elon for stirring the appetite for EVs though. What makes you think he can't do similar things in other markets?

Well I think that ship has already sailed, Timsort is used in Java on Android and Python, so it's already seen massive adoption.

I think if you're in the staticly typed camp then Clojure isn't for you either way. While the keyword thing is reasonably bad, it's not the type of error I almost ever make (I'm definitely far from a perfect coder). I th

No, Erlang can only send messages between it's processes. Java can share.

While your honesty is intriguing, suggesting people do this is pretty immoral. Why don't we spend our time online talking about ways to do things fairly, that'd probably do humanity a favor instead of instilling behaviors to the d

Good riddance to the poorly upkept taxis with the aggressive drivers, and expensive rides. I feel like the drivers are not paid adequately though, esp. given the hidden expenses. I talk with them regularly and think many don't realize

Fragments were way over engineered. Many people completely ignored them because you basically had to rewrite a significant portion of your app to support the type of flexibility they were supposed to give you. The lifecycle of apps is alrea

I'm surprised you've had conversations with tech laymen that understand what Cambridge Analytica is guilty of. Everyone I talk to, even reasonably tech-literate people, still don't understand the repercussions. I even point o

At a incredibly high and volatile risk for what you're paying. Try and pull some of those Bitcoins out in a market rush, see if you're sale goes through in the next week. Even the high returns we've seen so far don't jus

You're assuming they are trying to make the service the best they can. They've obviously done the math and it's cheaper to charge people a flat fee. They don't really care how good their service is, or how fair it coul

Personally, I've seen companies holding back waiting to see how GDPR actually pans out in courts before investing in fixing things, albeit my view is pretty anecdotal. Where have you seen companies being proactive?

That seems incredibly misleading. As per Investopedia, buying on margin requires a margin account which requires a minimum of $2000. That is pennies, but given most Americans have far less than $2000 in their bank accounts, and most are

While I'd have some sympathy for mistakes in real estate, the guy's a billionaire. If he can't afford a good agent that would point out that obvious issue then I don't know how anyone else gets anything done in that indu

Really well written article. Sadly looks like the research is all on read-only, in-memory datasets because the training step is expensive.

You're not wrong about the halting problem, but the reality is that most people do simple things that the IDE can extract a lot of information about. I.e. it doesn't have to understand a function to make the function fireable from

I don't agree its their right to do this. Slowly changing the ecosystem from one purporting to be open source to a walled garden is not what I signed up for. A big selling point of AOSP was to have an open place for people to develop t

Check out Google BigQuery. Not sure if you can do exactly what you need, but we use it as glue between some dbs and Google sheets.

That's only for the front end though. Lots of people use Compojure which is essentially Sinatra if you're coming from Ruby. Luminus is a far more complete solution that feels like Rails. After I cut my teeth enough times starting

You should be killed by an autonomous vehicle because you jay-walk under any circumstances. I hope you realize you are comparing being fined for a tiny crime and getting killed.
