Setting aside personal bias: Kudos for admitting that. It takes a lot of courage to put your beliefs out in the open, or even to talk about the beliefs of a group you once identified with. I feel that most of us would've supported v

Finally, CLARK also advised Ulbricht on tactics to thwart efforts by law enforcement to investigate Silk Road. In that vein, CLARK repeatedly advocated the use of intimidation and violence to keep members of the Silk Road support staff fr

This is a great piece, partly because the author is willing to reach a conclusion they can't explain. It seems like this might also be one of the best ways to learn R. This is a real-world scenario, and various libraries are brought t

The content is good. It's strange how corporate the about page sounds, but that probably doesn't matter. Maybe a whoishiring-type weekly submission might be a better format? "Here's some interesting stuff you may not hav

This page will be updated to further explain the foundational principles of Redox, once I have finished writing some code. This is a mindset the world could use more of. Best of luck.

It's usually possible to break into a target's network. The article might want to mention what you should do if you find a vuln. The first thing to do is to check whether the company has any disclosure programs set up. This is s

That site is incredibly helpful. Thank you very much :) Usually I try not to leave dupe comments, but in this case the story is off the front page and you might not see it otherwise: I've been trying to find an emacs user to ask some

Thanks very much. That's awesome. I have a few questions I was hoping to ask an emacs user, and it sounds like your situation was almost identical to mine. Is there an email address I can reach you at? (If not, that's fine! Tha

This is a series of articles designed to teach you the basics of containerization, but it sounds like you'll come away with some pretty powerful knowledge. Kudos to the author.

One strategy would be to collect all the signals that leave the brain through the spinal cord over a long period of time. Then try to write a program that generates the same signals. The result would be the inverse: a living body controlled

Does anyone have any recommendations for programs that pop-quiz you periodically until you retain what you've learned? I've been using vim for a decade and I'm trying to switch to emacs. Retaining muscle memory is only possib

Terra seemed promising when I ran across it a month ago. Does anyone know if it's possible to use LuaJIT's ffi module while writing Terra code? What I mean is, there is a large body of existing code that I'd like to run along

Cool! I'm trying to do something similar. I really think the time is ripe for a lisp-based game engine. I'll have more time to look into your work later, but I wanted to say (a) very cool! Keep it up! (b) check out Lumen ( https:&

Hi there! I left a rather critical comment, but I wanted to say that the piece has many good points. I was wondering if you could provide examples of ideas you're trying to aim for.

I wanted to get early feedback on a tool I've been brewing. The goals are: 1. Make it as effortless as possible to copy any code from any repo into a subfolder of your own repo. The subfolders should automatically pull in any new cha

It's ok if people disagree or don't see the point. Much of the fun of Lisp is the initial discovery. But if we make them feel singled out or like there's something they "don't get," then they'll miss all

It is indeed. I'm in the process of porting from Racket to Lumen. It's taking a bit, and it'll be tricky to add true greenthread support to js and lua, but it's a win so far. Wart is freaking cool! Thanks for showing

ObjC's dot syntax? Sure. That's easy in Lumen: https://github.com/sctb/lumen/commit/6410c8cc2de66d1976515bd... Is it possible to use this technique to introduce, say, infix arithmetic operators

A brief laundry list: - Arc embraces macros. - You can redefine anything. (assign + -) (+ 3 4) evaluates to -1. Not only are you an equal partner to the language, but the language is short enough to carry in your head. - Green threads. H

Email me if you run into trouble, and I'll personally help fix any problem you run into. It turns out that if you use arc for something critical, the language itself won't break. The programs written in Arc might contain bugs, bu
