I am actually disappointed with his view. I thought he had a psychology background and should have known better than his obvious reductionist view. What neural network have demonstrated so far is that it can do a form of perception given en

It shows that Lisp programmers really don't care about balancing parenthesis, because editors do that for them.

From a cognitive point of view, learning a large number of idioms is more manageable for human beings than having to reinvent the mental constructs from primitives every time. This human capacity of dealing with idioms is what called &quo

With some minor assumptions, my assertion would be correct. Yours needs a lot of strong assumptions to be mathematically feasible. Basically, you are saying, when the max of a sequence is increasing, the mean/median stays or even decre

> Lisp has been around for 50+ years, hasn't really helped its popularity much. But I'm willing to bet with you that in 14 years from now, Clojure will have even fewer users than it has today. Computer science has too short a h

Exactly the point. In many other languages, every programmer can write their own "even" and "filter" with their own idiosyncrasy. However, in Clojure, every one uses the same set of high level functions in the standard l

even? is a predicate that test if the parameter is an even number, as the name suggests. ? is part of the function name, not a syntax symbol (there's not much syntax in a Lisp, after all). By convention, function name ends with ? are

One would normally use a name space to group together code that deals with a foreign library. So, upgrading to a new version of the library is just a matter of 1. update the dependencies by changing the version number of the library in proj

My understanding is that the Clojure community discourages the use of macro. The preference is to use data over functions, and functions over macro. The reason is that macros do not compose well. Yes, macros are good for developing DSLs, so

In Clojure, one doesn't need to rely on tooling to do refactoring, because things are isolated, loosely-coupled to begin with. There isn't much "unintended side effects" when one change Clojure code, because Clojure code

If you mean keywords by those used in maps, like {:some-key 1 :another-key 2}, yes, they have project wide semantics. However, these are just data . Changing the name of a key in data is just a matter of global search/replacement. A

It depends on whom you ask. As a person who doesn't even know what language this is written in, I don't think it is readable at all. For example, this "Select(i => i + 2)" piece looks totally strange for me. What does

If working with emacs, clj-refactor in CIDER can do renaming of symbols. Of course, renaming symbols in Clojure is not such a big requirement as in Java IDE, because most of the things are isolated within a single function in Clojure. Conse

For this code, (reduce + (map (comp inc inc) (range 10))) Clojure people would normally use thread macro, like so: (->> (range 10) (map #(+ % 2)) (reduce +)) This would be similar to the Scala version in term of order.

Are you talking about a word processor produced in 1985 that had a type ahead feature? This is very different. Not a word processor, but a psychometric tool.

A lot of them come from published academic research, but some of them come from our own empirical studies.

That's cool. I am aware of the Lifestyle Survey. We are leveraging knowledge on psychometrics, but we also try to go beyond. One problem with self-reporting psychometric surveys or tests is that the takers know that they are being asse

If by "knowing", it means knows how one's traits compare with others, yes, we can know it better than oneself. Because that's exactly what the science of psychometrics does, and we are now applying it at a larger scale.

CTO here. Here are some more information, we did the project in Clojure, and we are very happy with this choice :-). The other parts of our tech stack include Kafka, Postgres and Aerospike, hosted on AWS. Please feel free to ask questions

The point of LaTeX is to not worry about format, just the content. "Reproducing a document" is rarely done by normal LaTeX users. Most people just use a template that is appropriate for the task, and let the algorithm taking care

Agree. This work claims that there is no goal in their implementation of intelligence, but forget the goal of "capturing as many future-histories as possible". With a right amount of tolerance for vagueness, it is not that hard to convince

You get what you pay for. If you pay them pennies, you get garbage, but if you pay them equitable wages, you get real work done. It's that simple.

It's all about how much you pay the turkers. I have done many studies on mturk and the quality of results have been very good so far. My secret? Pay people equitable wages. I always do a small pilot study to find out how long on average doe

The thing is that in functional programming, you don't do a lot of things that you think are essential for programming, such as "for/do/while". A lot of people need to do exercises to truly grasp the new way of doing things. Basically, one
