"Big web app? Compile it (To Javascript)" would be a better title. The presentation is confined to cross-compiling languages (C, C++, Java, Ruby, Lua, etc) to javascript and asm.js. The last ten, or so, slides actually has some co

I actually started writing my own hardware test runner[0] to more imitate a spec/unit test runner, and because I really wanted just a folder, a NAND gate, and a DFF. I found the built-in components confusing, because I would not implem

You could convert their custom HDL to Verilog, for programming an FPGA. I've thought about doing it before, but I've never seen enough support to do it myself.

There is a skeptoid episode[0] from 2011 that overviews the different types and some of the science behind it. And, it even mentions the difference between a voting system and a ranking system. [0] http://skeptoid.com/episod

The concept is sound. You increase "velocity" by strategically decreasing your development effort, but this leaves out the idea of technical debt completely. I've start to believe there are things that will kill you in the sh

From the latest pic[0], it looks like the AeroVelo Atlas[1]. Some details on their design can be found on their site[2], although the info looks to be from 2012. [0] https://twitter.com/AeroVelo/status/345219802262

I'm not sure what you mean. The previous conversations, and history of stories, offer insite into the technical, cultural, and legal issues that everyone might find valuable. News without context is just hype.

True, but your comment gave no indication of context, your knowledge level of clojure, awareness of logic programming, or an actual question. So, I had no basis to give a response that answered the question you did not ask. I honestly thoug

There was a post, a little while ago, asking why developers disliked creating documentation. The only response that resonated with me was the double-work required to keep it in sync with the code base. The same can be said of UML and ER dia

It is a subset of core.logic's functionality. It allows you to use unification in your code without the full logic engine of core.logic.

That is one reason I wish this leak had happened two years ago, or two years from now, when it could affect the Patriot Act extension vote. The only thing members of congress can do now is try to defund it, because voting to repeal it might

You have to be fast to pick up nickels in front of a steamroller. There is some money in porting something between the old and the new playing field, but the incumbents will eventually update.

I have started to wonder if entrepreneurship is becoming just another form of credentialing for businesses, like going to a big name college.

I am not in the streets over it, because I already assumed they were doing it, or were going to, since the Patriot Act was first signed. Most large policy issues don't get fixed until there is both a crisis and interests align. Now, th

Last time I tried codeq, the analyzer was limited to symbols defined outside of functions. The Clojurescript parser might be a better option, because the parse tree would allow indexing usages inside functions. I also wonder if a generative

Nice. A link to the file and project of each example would be great for usage context. What is it scraping? Is it just Github projects with language "Clojure"?

I wish my parents had shared this view with me at the beginning of highschool, as opposed to the standard "knowledge is the path to a better life" mantra. I now try to explain to any young student I know that school is a game where you have

I would also add that it mirrors the situation of when you try to speak to someone who is new to your language. The normal/bad strategy is to talk slower and louder, which can elevate the communication, from normal, to a personal attack, wh

The previous highs from 2007 were real estate bubble prices. I don't consider a return to over-inflated prices a rebound. Is your point that everything is a cycle, or that SF will rebound after this new bubble?

The timeline you described has events separated by 40 or more years. I cannot practically plan my life around events separated by almost half a generation.

Ah, so that is what you meant. Your original comment sounded like you were saying sucrose did not chemically consist of 50% fructose.
417.
by jared314 13y ago
Sucrose is glucose and fructose, stuck together by a single bond (hence the 50% fructose). The first thing your digestive system does is break that bond. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sucrose

I think existing gas stations rely on customers only spending 5-10 mins to keep quantity high, to compensate for lower fuel pricing. Perhaps, in another 5 years, an advance in battery technology will push it down that low, but otherwise I w

Don't forget large-chain grocery stores, movie theaters, and shopping malls. You spend at least 20 mins just buying one item in those places.

Isn't that the reason most unions formed in the first place? I wonder how many generations it will take to fix the current approach to human capital. The current pessimism around employee training and development will rub off on the next ge
