LOL, this sounds exactly like the Dutch tv game show 'Lingo' that's been on tv since 1989. Everything old is new again! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingo_(Dutch_game_show)

You're probably being sarcastic and I completely agree that it's scandalous that those responsible (like Cheney) got away with it, but it was all over the news at the time.

You can implement some version of that as long as you have dynamic scope. For simplicity let's just use pseudocode with globals: # By default Yield throws an exception global Yield = function(n) {throw n}; def example() = {

Part of it is cultural I think. In Clojure you'll often find yourself building your app incrementally, sending individual functions to the repl from your editor. I don't think there's any reason why you couldn't do that

The author seems to basically be describing Dart 1, which wasn't actually all that successful. It was a dynamic language with optional typing and it excluded some of the hard to optimize parts of e.g. Ruby, JavaScript or Python. Whethe

Same in the Netherlands. Rich, poor, young, old, everybody rides bikes as a normal way to get places. Not sure what chip the GP has on their shoulder, but it definitely doesn't match with my experience.

I was surprised to see that Smalltalk-72 was actually a much different language. In some ways it reminded me of Lisp macros and a bit of stack languages like Forth. This document [0] and especially Appendix II in this pdf [1] explain it wel

Considering that in this case there's a finger inside the ring, I'm not sure if that's such an amazing idea.

Amen. The principles behind Six Sigma are solid. They're just a repackaging of Deming's SPC principles after all. However, too often it devolves into a box ticking exercise. That being said, in my experience just educating everyon

You're right of course, but I secretly dream they would just change the syntax to straight up s-expressions.

As you say, teams have learned to defend against the tiki taka style of offense by playing a very compact organized defense. This leads to this whole slow, boring game. However, in a way that's already old-fashioned. Teams have moved o

This is exactly the argument made by Mariana Mazzucato in The Entrepreneurial State. It argues that the state is a major driver of innovation. DARPA is a great example of that. It argues that governments should be receiving some of the retu

Right. Followed later by this gem: > And when faced with a mouse, there’s three options: kick it out, run away in terror, or catch and torture it. I think you learn more about the author than about Stripe from this article.

UK crosswords also have patterns though. Words like scrambled in this case often indicate you're looking for an anagram.

That's not true. The JVM doesn't optimize tail calls, so, yes, that is a limitation. However, tail recursion (a subset of tail calls) is easy to detect and can be turned into iteration. That's exactly what loop/recur doe

If I understand immediate mode GUIs correctly, you basically redraw the UI every iteration of your (game) loop. How does that work in this case? Do you call these functions in a loop? Does it automatically remove the dom nodes at the end of
