> "p" makes sense if you know that it stands for "predicate". It's not nearly as arcane as car and cdr. We are in agreement here. It seems to me, though, that it is an easy case to make that a question mark makes

You can treat any collection or data structure that implements the sequence protocol as a lazy sequence with (seq collection) But you don't have to. If you choose to, you're not tied to a representation of mutable con

Your comment was dead. I vouched for it, because I think the point you're making is a valid one. I'll just note that you come across very combative. HN is intended to be an environment of thoughtful and substantive discussion. I w

Question mark is a Scheme tradition. Clojure is a new lisp, drawing inspiration from many sources. One of Rich Hickey's goals, stated in many ways and in many of his presentations, was to design a modern lisp not bound by design decisi

I find it helpful to do similar, but mine is fuzzier and tied to day-to-day activities. I am a gross farenheit user, so this is my mental table for cross reference -42|-42: 9th layer of hell 0|32: freezing point 10-15: maybe t

I've posted elsewhere in this thread about this. There's really no reason to expect SSNs as strings for internal use. 32bit integers readily represent the same, as the max SSN is just a 9-digit number. I've seen at least one

I was a flip-phone holdout for a long time. This was not generally supported in new devices sold up to 2015 (when I acquired my first smartphone, and my experience with good phones ended). Every flip phone I owned did not play well with non

Coming from a perspective of the IT consulting world, CRUD apps are rarely that simple. The core is always the same, sure - you're basically wrapping read and write transactions to a storage subsystem in a pretty veneer. The complexity

I'll expand that it's a double relativity. It is my opportunity cost among options, relative to my counterparty's opportunuty cost among options. It's not enough that the CEO is better at both strategy AND typing than hi

6 and 8 don't naturally pair in the way people commonly think. Comparative advantage is a confusing term in my mind. I typically substitute 'relative' for 'comparative'. It is an idea rooted in opportunity cost. The

Completely unrelated, but that URL really threw me for a loop. I am not used to seeing a slash in the article topic (section after '/wiki/').

Most of these are in the article. The author mentions: 1) both http and ssh 2) source control and team work (and suggests courses built around these) 3) multiple sections on problem solving and algorithms (incl. proof techniquese, formal me

I love the call-out to Diplomacy as blood sport. It is one of my favorite games, but I rarely suggest it, due both to the length of a typical game and the depth of deceit. We played a semester-long game in one of my game theory classes with

And on the other hand, I'm running a 12" notebook at 1080p with no scaling, and I find the text to be exactly the right size. If anything, I'm tempted to zoom in a notch or two. Zooming on the web is a critical feature to me.

I'm happier never thinking about logins. And I don't have to. My misery of uncertainty is elsewhere in life.

I didn't remember that it was AA. And ultimately, that's my point in all responses to this article. I don't know the login process for specific services I use. I don't know what they require or how many pages they are. I

I just spend <1 minute to update the login procedure for that site in my password manager and don't think about it again, continuing to log into all sites the same way, with a hotkey to perform auto-type for that site. Which of us i

What if the one-page login has a change that requires two tabs to get to the password field, instead of one? This has happened to me on multiple sites. What if the one-page login is changed to require additional information? At least one ai

Sure. I was responding explicitly to concerns about multi-page login workflows breaking password managers. My response is about using a password manager that can support these login workflows. The layman is not concerned with the issue I wa

What is the threat model here? How am I compromised if part of my password gets typed somewhere else? It's already plaintext when it's typed. If there's a keylogger on my machine, they're getting the password. If it&#x27

I would like to know more about this bank! What bank is it? How did you find it? I've not heard of features similar to this, especially the last part about buying a house.
