I'd say the sport is less about who defeats whom but the style in which it is done, more figure skating than boxing.

You're probably right, this is a far more realistic scenario. I have a bit of a soft spot for dystopia.

I expect in the short run we'll see different tribes of self-driving cars - say Google vs. Uber - who will actively communicate cooperatively with their in-group, but actually compete against the out-group, depending upon whether or

Keep fleshing it out - indeed use your experience with paredit to guide you - the benefit would be that people who don't necessarily know emacs etc can suddenly write lisp the way it was supposed to be written. Imagine if you were new

Well, it just means you only have one V and one C for all the Ms in the universe.

I've long felt that a proper structured editor would work somewhat like a tree editor[1]. Code is trees, right? [1] https://pcmonk.wordpress.com/2014/04/01/why-dont-we-have-a-g... If you had a really goo

Devil's advocate: I feel like TDD for iOS is a bit of a wasteland, and don't usually bother with it personally, unless there's some especially dense mission-critical business logic that I need to be 100% confident in.

This is amazing, I wish programming was more like this.

Shameless repost since my earlier post sank like a stone. There's also a promo site[1] that explains a little more about CALX if anybody's interested, also by all means please let me know if you'd like a promo code :) [1] ht

I'd just like to say that 10am is still too early for me. After lunch is more like where I'm at.

I mainly resent standups because most employers I've ever had scheduled them at 9am, and I'm not really ready to talk to other humans yet at that hour.

I had never considered that we might actually be ahead of the Great Filter. From what I'd read about it I've always thought of it as something we are yet to run into.

Kinda earthy, rather than carroty. Distinct beetrooty flavour.

I'm sure convenience also played a part - just for the heck of it, I cooked a meal with purple carrots in it recently and they stained the fuck out of my kitchen bench, hands, and the vegetable soup they were in. It was like working wi

I have to wonder if anywhere, in the history of the universe, a sentient being has ever fallen into a black hole.

I agree - I don't think it's possible to put a sound visual representation over the top of git, it's too abstract. A coherent command line interface should be possible, though.

This article begs the question - what might a sane/consistent UI on top of git look like?

I would disagree - the economy is anti-inductive[1] (in that it resists attempts to understand it). As soon as you implement the results of your sufficiently-sophisticated model, the economy will start to be influenced by that. Any viable m
