C/assembly to learn about the machine and because they're everywhere, Lisp to learn about all the paradigms, and a popular scripting language if you need big libraries. Java is so ugly, it'll just confuse them. It confused me, anyway.

It has stuff like this, which I remember from my clojure implementation of srv.arc. (do (prn header*) (awhen (max-age* op) (prn "Cache-Control: max-age=" it)) (f str req))))

I'm pretty sure the dalai lama said: For many reasons, I have decided that I will not be the head of, or play any role in the government when Tibet becomes independent. The future head of the Tibetan Government must be someone popularly el

You probably know about sar, but a lot of people may not; it can get advanced with all the options, but for simple cpu spot checks: sar -u X Y prints Y lines of utilization info, one every X seconds.

If you're not matching on variable numbers of arguments, you can just have 1 function sig and a case statement. The thing I dislike most about erlang, besides the lack of a good macro system, is that the repl is full of annoying special cas

And before that it was Amazon. I still remember the "find it on Amazon" link on every page of AOL NetFind search results :) Apparently it was some special deal they made with AOL, from back when search engines did things like that: http:

Force companies to decide exactly what they're doing, and declare it to the government in unambiguous language so that it can be broadcast to the public. Yeah. While we're at it we should force them to submit a document declaring the type

A few months ago I spilled a full mug of coffee all over my white macbook keyboard (no cream or sugar, tho). I didn't notice I'd knocked the mug over (it was behind me) but after a few seconds the monitor went black and the light on the p

Multimethods are ambient actions. You could implement them with functions and any sort of type system. Maybe also a way to have variable-length parameter lists. If that's OO then functional programming is object-oriented programming.

Aside from all the Java crap it has multimethods, but it doesn't really make sense to call them OO because there's no object that they're attached to.

I get it--as it gets impossible to find out who came up with what, content creators are an indirect casualty but historians are a direct one because that's their actual job! That's sort of funny. I guess they'll have to use fancy statisti

Who cares who came up with what? Eventually that'll be too hard and pointless to keep track of anyway.

The "toggle word wrap" FF add-on just sticks this into whatever page you're looking at, I think. Works great.

Atwood doesn't seem wrong or particularly unclear to me. If you "met someone who told you they had two children, and one of them is a girl", then presumably we should imagine this person saying: "I have two children and one of them is a gi

Well I don't believe that you need to posit a fundamental consciousness-property to explain collapse. There are clearer explanations that rely only on what physicists (mostly) already accept, which David Albert explains well: http://www.a
