There are several verboten topics on HN. I hadn't noticed China among them but there are several sacred cows here which, when criticized, will get you a swift burial by downvoting. At least in those cases, it's definitely intenti

An idea cannot be patented, only its specific execution. You'll notice patent claims always contain language such as, "In one embodiment, the so-and-so is a doodly-doo." These are the specifics of the execution. So, if you ha

This has my been experience, too. We needed to parse a complex DSL in Lisp and I was hoping we didn't have to use RegEx for all the reasons you mentioned. The parser combinator we used (MaxPC) brought with it many advantages: readabili

That's exactly why we're building our software.

In YC Startup School, they showed AirBNB's first UI and it was terrible but evolved after users tried it. Many planned features weren't attractive to users and others were needed but missing -- and they didn't find that out u

This comes up in comp sci every so often since the 80s when it first gained traction. I think the short answer is that boxes and wires actually become harder to manage as the software increases in complexity. The "visual is simpler&quo

Thanks for looking and trying it. When the Hybrid Database that stores MSL ships, we will include the source for it, as well. The next release will let you play with real MSL running against a local Hybrid Database.

Thanks for checking it out and the feedback. Only Local World exists (the HTML page is the "world") but you can easily mod it to use others. The MSL engine is not present in this release and the WebSocket only provides an echo ser

Ok, I wrote a little something over there, too. :-) Thanks for looking at our stuff and feel free to email me. My contact info is on our site.

Hi, nfc. This is along the lines of the problem we are trying to solve with Mimix[0]. Like your JSON structure, we are using s-expressions to denote facts in text narratives so we can detect when they have changed between papers. Instead of

We are working on a similar concept[0] using a programming language designed for this exact purpose[1]. One of our key ideas is "fact diffing" between two papers with different narrative text. We think this will be useful in all k

I concur. The takeaway from LOGO is the idea about what computers can do and how you, the programmer, might approach that. It's a language designed for pedagogy. Programming in LOGO isn't about the language -- or any language, r

As a kid, the library had a TI-99/4A with its LOGO and a book by Papert included. I remember it had the most documentation of any piece of software for the machine, which intrigued me. They also had a Coleco ADAM that had LOGO, too, s

LOGO changed my life! When I learned it as a kid, it made me realize that software was "castles in the sky" and you could do anything you want. 41 years later and a career programmer, I'm now using Lisp in our most modern pro

Personally, I think the example "songs" are all awful. None of them would succeed on any criteria, despite the admittedly low bar for music composition and vocal performance that passes today. This project only serves to demonstra

IMO, no. ML is about improving the training and results from an existing dataset. No computer will ever be able to make the leap into creating a dataset that never existed; the best it can do is build something from pieces and parts that

Jurassic World absolutely wins for best UI dashboards in a movie, ever. (Jurassic World Evolution, the video game, does a nice job of emulating them, too.)
