Well the error message is confusing (it's trying to cast from an integer (type 70) to a procedure (type 76)), but it's correct to fail to compile. But yeah I'm not sure that my logic there is altogether correct. I re-wrote it

I remember compilation being nearly instantaneous.

The "Compile" option was, I think, for when you wanted to generate a .COM or .EXE. So I don't support that. The "Run" command does compile and run, though.

Oh interesting, none of my programs had (input,output) so my parser doesn't support that. It was optional in TP and I don't think did anything.

One problem with both advertisingIdentifier and identifierForVendor is that they are iOS 6+ only. That shuts out 10% of my user base.

I installed the extension, saw the account creation form, and uninstalled the extension. I agree, I don't need another server somewhere downloading the pages I bookmark. Some of them are even on the intranet at work. Could this work entirel

Good names are a fine use of money because you can probably sell them back.

This was two years ago. JBossMQ was being rewritten and the new version was too immature. I don't remember HornetQ. We investigated RabbitMQ, which seemed good but still a bit young to bet our company on. We also needed some interesting fea

I used ActiveMQ in a large production environment for two years. It's by a large margin the worst piece of software I've used professionally. You wouldn't believe the number of very serious problems we had with it (including some mentioned

"The solution is for the people who use these tools to become mindful of these dangers, not to get rid of the tools." Sure, but after 55 years of Lisp, that hasn't happened. If Lisp is unused because programmers find it hard to resist using

Okay, I see what you mean by that now. I might still quibble that calling it a "social issue" (as opposed to technical) makes it sound like it's not Lisp's fault. A good feature that leads to a bad situation is a bad feature. I want to call

It's true that I wouldn't apply it to prose, but that doesn't mean it's not useful for code, where you often want to look at lots of it and get a gist of what it's doing. Also I often do think of a programming language as a user interface,

I've always suspected that Lisp is write-only. For example, it fails the squint test, which I wrote about here: http://www.teamten.com/lawrence/writings/the_language_squint... Being write-only would explain why there are so few collaborat

A "C" coder is someone who writes bad code. It's relatively easy to detect and fire a "C" coder. A "B" coder is one who for the most part writes good code, but doesn't design a good long-term architecture, or makes many small mistakes that

A. Because managers, for the most part, don't have the courage to do it. It's emotionally difficult to fire, so they look the other way.
