Truly, while the web also now being better than at the time of activex and flash etc. I’d wager the only rescue for a new free non-WebKit would be simple ways to use external programs - maybe yet a challenge for language design.

A Dutch newspaper keeps an updated list of reinfections worldwide. Interestingly, there has only been 82 cases and 3 death, which is a tiny amount. https://bnonews.com/index.php/2020/08/covid-19-reinfection-t.

Reminds me of how the Buddhist solves the problem of suffering by minimising wants, and the Christian by forgiving and loving people and the world for their flaws.

I recently broke my left hand bones, and am absolutely useless using Emacs and other tools, or even typing. How do HN solve the problem of programming with one hand?

Language design is about what features not to include. If you include blocking IO, or allow unsound programs, disallow GC-less allocations, you are forcing a model of programming onto the user, which is a good thing. Node.js became a hit be

TypeScript+immutable is like typed clojure without S-expressions but with async io, so that is nice. Haven’t found a way to get eval-expr-at-point for js though. This is my choice for writing back ends today, but I also do Clojure jobs. I p

The counter argument is that in clojure you can do (merge {:a 1} {:b “yo”}) without defining new types.

Hopeful new lispers beware that core.typed is not so easy to use as TypeScript, and slows things down quite a bit, and you will need to write a lot of type definitions for 3rd party code. Most (all I’ve seen) clojure shops instead rely on r

In real life projects, you end up doing type checking at runtime, meaning you also need a test for the code path

> What is mutable by default in Clojure? Nothing. All data in Clojure inherits from java.lang.Object. I get what you’re saying, but in real life commercial projects, especially when you use libraries and Java classes, the code ends up wi

It’s just like C or JS but the first paren goes to the left of the function name.

You certainly can, OCaml and Haskell do. They were sadly not designed with S-expressions though.

I loved clojure until working with it for a few years, with some of the famous best teams in Europe and America, including Cognitect people, who ill leave unnamed here. I fell out of love when I realised what the language is - a mutable, im

There has been 70 cases and 3 deaths of reinfection worldwide [0]. If this source is not false, reinfection is negligible, and I am yet unconvinced herd immunity will not materialise [0] https://bnonews.com/index.php/20

If your CI system builds for x86 and ARM from the first build, it will be simple to ship to both. For old games it’d be harder, but one could maybe compile from one ASM to another.

What a farce. The piece price is awarded by a committee selected by the political parties of Norways Parlament - for Americans, you can think of this as the Democratic Party in an (almost) mono-ethnic white small 5mil country. Alfred Nobel

Thanks for the example - I’ve been looking for how to make mix packaging easy. How do you add files to this build? For example, if I have this program.rb that depends on ruby: puts “Hello World” And then you add a file called packa

Don’t you think the reason why most Danes are against nonwestern immigration because they don’t want to go towards being an ethnic minority, like Swedes are in Malmö just across the bridge?

Jesus certainly would not use armed force to get people to pay for others health care or to under threat of violence make them give to the poor. For this reason socialism is not compatible with Christianity. Thou shalt not steal, also not v

Thank you for clearing it up for me - Germans can consume but not produce national socialist speech and content.
