This applies to everyone, not just Stallman. You can't expect people to feel empathy for everyone in a world as connected as ours, it would be overwhelming.

I exclude stabbing myself and I don't think that's ugly. Its in the same vein that I exclude stabbing my computer with crapware from Apple and Microsoft.

There is no good reason to have DRM malfeatures, on someone from a society as backwards as ours would believe something like that.

Dear sbuk, After the cold war, the military cut off most of its funding to AI research, resulting in the AI winter. Without that source of funding, we have to look for the next best source, which is big corporations. Google is one of the be

Steve Jobs apparently wanted to destroy Android and for at least that reason, like Stallman, I am glad he is gone, so that he cannot do any more damage to computing.

Apple has never been credited with anything in the first place, so there is nothing to discredit. Even at their very foundation, Apple stole innovations from the workers at Xerox PARC, and then they went on to perpetuate DRM malfeatures and

Even if you can live for a million years from advanced technologies, you still inevitably will die. We all do.

Everyone using functional languages (ML/Haskell) or logic languages (Prolog) should respect the considerable contributions McCarthy made to these areas throughout his entire life.

The point is Apple is a great marketer. The extent to which they are an innovator, on the other hand, is often exaggerated.

Haskell isn't building anything. It is just a programming language. It is people that are actually building these things and some languages, such as Haskell, are implementations of them.

It would seem that NodeJS is taking away some of the share of functional programming languages.

What I discovered after this journey of learning is that the languages did not matter. This sounds a lot like my journey. I was overwhelmed with the details of ~20 programming languages and data formats. Eventually it actually got rather

This article states that well known functional programming languages includes the ML family. What about the Lisp family (Scheme, Clojure, Qi)? They represent the dynamic side of functional programming.

Flipped curried operator? You mean like this: (defn flip-arguments [func] (fn [& args] (apply func (reverse args)))) (prn (partition-by (partial (flip-arguments <) 60) [49 58 76 82 88 90])) I noticed Haskell

In fact, I think I am pretty much done using this site. I will read from planet Clojure instead.

I actually live in Hawaii where we have delicious, organic, locally-grown fruit all year round, and I often get to pick fruits myself. I understand some people don't have it as good =/ And at least fruits get rotten! I think there is someth

our ancestors ate mostly hunted food Actually, most archeologists and paleoanthropologists are beginning to accept that most meat was SCAVENGED, not hunted, as I mentioned earlier. It is through scavenging that humans became "omnivores" c

I don't know about you but I think I would rather pick fruit then spend eight hours in the hot sun hunting... I also would rather eat fruits then the dead animal. Fruits are absolutely delicious to anyone whose taste buds aren't maladapted,

Try living primitively, without technology, no stove, no refrigerator, no guns, no tractors, none of this stuff. What are you going to eat? Are you going to eat meat? Just try to capture a wild animal with your bare hands and eat it raw, yo

The real problem with this diet is it doesn't contain any fruits (Avocados, Cucumbers, Olives, Bananas, Grapes, Berries, etc). Our ancestors lived primarily on raw fruits so they are definitely the healthiest natural/uncooked foods for huma

JavaScript is incredibly different from Lisp, at least syntactically. Here are some legal JavaScript expressions: ++x+x++ x >> 6 > y >> 6 5 % 2 / 5 * 5 + 1

The beauty of Lisp is in its simplicity. Lisp has the simplest syntax in the world, and the entire language is based upon five simple primitives. All other mainstream languages complicate matters with operator precedence tables, multiple op
