You can manage to code while on LSD but it is very hard. After trying it a couple of times I decided it just takes out the fun from both LSD and coding.

"A true hero, Theseus chose Haskell as the language..." LOL!

That site definitively seems crackpot, but they might be right about some parts of the brain suppressing activity in other parts. Like a Subsumption architecture http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsumption_architecture

"Lack-of-sleep also sometimes offers a slight euphoria or creativity/disinhibition in thinking" I agree. I've found out that if I stay awake all night I tend to have a rush of completely new ideas about the problem I'm working on.

As a native french speaker, I'm not convinced at all about "zhah(n) bah teest zhoh zef foo 'Ryay" to say "Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier" :D

It sounds like he's saying that the crash was caused by a video from Greece. That's rather hard to believe.

After using JAVACC for a couple of years I switched to ANTLR. I found it slightly harder to learn but easier to use than JAVACC.

In the 80's we used to say: "You can't compare Pascal to C. It's like comparing a bicycle with training wheels to a ten-speed racing cycle."

Indeed, you can even use JMonkeyEngine from Clojure.

This is one test I've used: write a program that reads a text file and then prints out all the lines in reverse order.

Although the "James Harry Potter Gold Medal" sounds kind of weird, it is a real award: http://www.asme.org/Governance/Honors/SocietyAwards/James_Ha...

Great idea! I just donated another $100. Let's see what happens today...

It seems that donating is good for your karma. Just after I donated my $100 this morning, I received an unexpected payment for $3,800 USD! :D

Lots of tweets about funding Clojure: http://twitter.com/#search?q=clojure It makes me happy :)

Clojure is exactly the kind of language I want on the JVM. Donated $100 USD. Will also donate for each commercial project I do using Clojure.

If I remember correctly the original implementation of Postgres did not modify any table rows, it added a row with the most recent values.

At a meeting with a major VC firm I asked: "Aren't we supposed to have a business plan?" (they had called us because they were interested in our product). One of the partners at the VC firm laughed and said: "If I need a business plan I'll

You are right. This is a very slanted article. The new Pemex CEO has been accused of being involved in 30 illegal contracts when he was Pemex's Finance Director. For those of you who read spanish: http://sdpnoticias.com/sdp/contenido/2009/

The original draft for the law had higher amounts for all the drugs. For LSD it was 0.025 milligrams (which would be the smallest possible dose). When the law was vetoed, congress reduced the doses and voted again on it. That's the way they
