I'm interested in this, but why not just write natively in Scheme? I really like Clojure, but if you don't need the Java interop, Scheme seems just as nice.

If it works, then there'll be nothing on the other end but silence.

> And, by the way, I hate the term "metadata." What's wrong with "traffic analysis," which is what we've always called that sort of thing? This has also been bugging me. Metadata is a very general term, and

What does "most unique" even mean? Unique is by definition singular, is it not?

In Seattle, you can rent goats to help take care of pesky invasive vegetation like blackberry bushes. Blackberries sound like a good idea until they take over, and they're very difficult to remove. Goats will eat them, though, so you c

Yes. Scala is a great language, but it devolves into line noise so quickly. ML's relative lack of brackets is so nice, and so is the automatic currying of multi-argument functions. I also really love discriminated unions, and it's

Are other forms of concurrency still available? This has always seemed like a strange limitation. Most of the code that I write doesn't require me to spin up tons of threads (at least, not in my code), but sometimes it's really he

Although some of the lofty stated goals of this project seem commendable, this is one of the worst ideas I have heard in a long time. I can't tell if it's a joke, but I hope that it is.

Yeah. I wonder if this was not the right test case.

I wonder if this says anything about the ruling we can expect from the court on the Myriad Genetics case. The New York Times summary implied that the farmer in question had some knowledge that he was using seeds in a way that might infringe

I agree that the disparity is a serious problem. However, I reject the notion that the solution is to pay the athletes. The fundamental problem is the intertwining of a business and an academic pursuit; colleges should not be in the busines

Every time you misuse the word curate, a librarian cries (or shushes someone).

That was my take as well, but the whole thing is so vague that it's hard to be sure.

Exactly.

On the whole, this "announcement" doesn't really provide a lot of detail, and some of the scientific explanation is misleading (or just wrong). That doesn't mean the development isn't exciting - doing a PCR on a chip that size is pretty coo

Please make it happen. Also, please let me hide "buddies" that are in my Google contacts, whose activity I do not want to see but whose contact info I do not want to lose.

I have developed a very similar style, for the same reasons. It's funny to see this blog post, because I have gobs of SQL just like it on my other monitor.

It's better to think of map without thinking of looping. I think its a good idea to think of it as converting a container of A to a container of B. It doesn't matter how it happens, and the container might be empty, or only big enough only

I take this as an extremely positive indication - that someone can be skeptical and won over after having built a substantial system. Virtually every time I look at a shiny new technology, even ones I profess to like, I like it substantiall

MonoDevelop 4? I'm using 3.0.3, which seems to be what their website advertises as the latest version. Maybe I'm missing it. Should I be building from source?

I have been hoping to pick up some F# with Mono, but I'm having a hard time getting started - not with the language itself, but with the development environment. For instance, MonoDevelop seems very flakey on the Mac. I'd love to try out Fs

I was responding to your comment that you had not looked at Play 2.0. I would not argue that it's outdated, I am arguing that if you excluded it from consideration, you missed something.
