   Brilliant! Kickstarter fraud just got even easier. Now you can fool your customers into thinking you have a working prototype in record time!

   The point isn't to be a "fair" comparison, but rather to compare the number of explicit operations involved. I'd note that your Haskell example there is largely equivalent to the Scheme one.

   I was largely using Racket as a common enough Scheme that I have installed my computer. I wanted an example from another functional language but in an older classical style (I was shooting for the Little Schemer here). I'm quite famili

   Pattern matching isn't just conditional matching. It's also binding, and even some common operations. Compare a naive Haskell map: map f [] = [] map f (x:xs) = f x : map f xs To a Racket one made without using (matc

   E.T. was basically the "straw on the camel's back" moment for consumers. It wasn't just that the game itself was an overhyped blunder, but that by the time it came out, the market was already flooded with truly awful thi

   I was recently prescribed beta blockers by my doctor, due to ongoing heart and blood pressure issues brought on by severe stress anxiety. I also have asthma. It's a mild case, and I don't need an inhaler or any medication for it,

   Yeah, I tried this. IMO, if you don't have the grounding to do such a project justice, this is a good way of getting lost in the weeds and crash and burn hard once it passes your level. There's nothing wrong with taking a few proj

    Ironically, the only thing Emacs can't seem to do these days is be a browser. ;)

    The article more or less makes this precise comparison. "Do everything in Emacs" isn't really so different from "Do everything in the browser." Arguably, modern browsers are more heavyweight and complex at that. The

    It is an irony to me that after years of developers looking down on GUI tools for building websites, to the extent that many of the biggest names have been discontinued or struggle to maintain profitability, there is now this sudden explosi

    I used a similar idea in a cyberpunk book I wrote once. You might know cyberpunk as a dystopian genre . Mostly I cribbed the idea though from Saint's Row IV. This article is more ridiculous than a game with a dubstep gun.

    Some people, when confronted with a problem, think “I know, I'll use regular expressions.” Now they have two problems. -- Jamie Zawinski To which I might dare add, "... and so does whomever next has to read this code."

    I wouldn't be without it for programming. Most of my daily languages have active IRC channels on freenode. The only exception seems to be F#, where chat has indeed moved to a slack channel.

    For parsing, there's the excellent mpc , a parser combinator library in highly portable C. https://github.com/orangeduck/mpc I even managed to use it drop in for a RiscOS project once.

    It is especially sad because often these attempts fail to consider the elements of the original that caused it to "suck" so bad in the first place. so even when they do survive, they're seldom any better than what they'v
