Never again. I was a Thinkpad loyalist, and used it exclusively for 12 years. Last year I got a new one and the screen backlight died within 5 months. Lenovo shat on the brand, and I'm not going back. After sampling a few different products

Posthumous accolades are nice, but you know what is nicer? Justice. Push to fix the injustice system that made him kill himself.

I "learned" the gist of Prolog in one day. Same as Lisp & Smalltalk. Of course, it takes years to master, as in Lisp & Smalltalk, but you can get a taste of the magic fairly quickly. A highly recommended book is The Art of Prolog, t

Modules can be implemented in any programming language, if the programmer is disciplined enough[1]. However, Modula-2 originated modules as language constructs, not only for grouping & namespacing, but also as compilation units. Very im

Oh yes, you can set your own dispatch characters, but the # is the dispatch character for the CL standard syntax .

That line blurs when you have homoiconic syntax, specially one with a programmable reader. Common Lisp uses the # for dispatch macro character, you can define your own literals, in whatever environment you want. http://www.franz.com/suppor

This is a mass credit and identity theft waiting to happen. First of all, they're not gonna be able to do the collection themselves, they will contract it out. Then any contractor has power over all the mailboxes under their management. The

You're replying to a post in a thread about Microsoft limiting the number of installs per license. I don't know about your definition, but that qualifies as "crippling" in my book. I choose to use Free software because I value my time and f

Nothing philosophical about it. We use Libre Calc to manage 3 million dollar / week budget. I am happy with it, coworkers are happy with it, and its liberal license has never stopped us from doing our job :-)

For every micro-second Libre/Open Office stays ugly or slow, I pass the time by thinking about how cripled/proprietary MS Office is, and time flies fast. YMMV.

Play is begging to be forked, specially as the developers' vision diverges from that of Play 1.2.x users. We have a big ERP app built on Play 1.2 and have no interest in moving to Scala and 2.0. Our version of Play is, for all intents and p

I really hope someone picks up Play 1.2.x and maintains it. The Play 2.x alleges to be bi-lingual, Java and Scala, but it's pretty much an Scala version of Play.

Why are you blogging when you could be out there curing cancer? It's a much more worthwhile undertaking. See? I am also right, in a vague, generic sense. But it's the sort of advice that doesn't contribute anything to your life, and only ma

Of course, pedagogy goes out of the window and we enter the realm of magic once we try to implement continuations. Scheme without continuations is no different than any other simple Algol. (minus GC, numeric tower, macros, etc. of course)

Only because of the two soccer players named Ronaldo whose name has been heard by every football fan on earth. There is nothing intrinsically "easy" about the name itself.

Why does the State have a say in what one names their child? Fuck off already, haven't you regulated enough of our lives?
