Clojure itself would also love to become parasitic just as you described. It's actually one of it's explicitly stated goals if I'm correct. Apparently implementing Clojure on the LLVM is no easy feat though; judging from refe

Wouldn't you generally want an STM in your domain model in places where it's essential rather than in (ideally generic) open source libraries?

There's no mention of external in that definition though and internal verbalization is also often considered as a form of expression... If you shout in the forest and nobody hears you; are you not still expressing your self?

I think we're pretty much on the exact same page, just using different interpretations of terminology. I'm not that sure accession was better for Crimea though, since international tourism has all but dried up and after giving it

The geopolitics in Ukraine are quite different though. Right now they're focusing two things: a) maintaining control over as much territory as possible, given Russia's original goals [1] and the huge importance a land-bridge to Cr

I meant that independence, whether just greater autonomy or full independence, would have been able to capture the ethnic Ukrainian and Tatar vote in a way accession to Russia never could. From what I understood Crimea was already very inde

Just like there's more to the US of A than it's bible belt; there's more to Crimea than the ethnic Russians in Sevastopol. Here is an article of the leaked document I was referring to: http://www.forbes.com/si

Indeed. East-Ukrainian polls pre-invasion showed roughly 30% supported secession. Crimea was the most interesting since it actually had the legal structure in place for a secession and if a proper referendum had been held it would actually

Isn't the OP referring to what happens after the 'lifespan' of this processor? I'm still happily running a Mac Pro I maxxed out in 2008 and expect a couple more years out of it at the least. It would be nice if this kind

That's a very precise definition of the class of functional languages. Unfortunately in the real world the definition tends to be much more varied. ;)

I found it very useful to snapshot SD cards frequently. It's super easy to revert back to and an easy way to support less technical people.

Great advice. Except for JavaScript on the backend. That's horrible advice. ;)

I'll chip in another view; and that is to read the book "Flow: The Psychology of Happiness." It's based on a lot of research about when people find them selves to be happy and builds it into a logical framework that&#x27

There are always 'circles' where this is considered appropriate behaviour. In the fashion world there are a few photographers which almost openly do this, known to us mostly because they got so used to it they put their dick in a

It's pretty well regulated. Quite close to the degree you're describing but based on fairly comprehensive spot checks rather than regular checks if I'm correct. The fact that they are so well registered is also one of the rea

(Some) people in the Netherlands have also been pushing hard to get prostitution marginalized again, largely under the banner of human trafficking. Do you know for example that most human trafficking number includes every prostitute that ha

What are you doing instead now? Using event sourcing and replaying events on a server side copy of the client code?

In the Netherlands we force the physical network part of the infrastructure to be separate from the services that run on top of it. It can be implemented fairly easily by separating a company into two and forbidding them from giving special

The problems with/about free will have more to do with people's emotions than anything else. For some reason people just can't accept determinism; possibly because it often seems to lead to a belief in nihilism and that is ju

If it's for a portfolio then you're probably going to work for people. What are you going to be doing for them? How are you going to add value to their business? If they wanted that value and were actively looking; what job titles

Very cute; but the pricing seems a bit low. I'd expect your support, your backing, your advice. You're never going to fit a good logo design + domain name + advice in there for that little money. For example; I own videoview.com,

Sheesh; why the downvotes? It's a very appropriate comment as the 'Protestant work ethic' is the canonical name for, and most likely significant source of, the exact feeling the GP described.

Well; based on the promise of immediate inclusion in the app store and a very well thought out book about the language available for free I'd say they're doing rather well so far already.

After watching 'Recent Developments in Deep Learning' by Geoff Hinton [1] a while ago I did come away believing that there does seem to be quite a bit of untapped potential in deep neural nets. Do you feel that talk is overly opti

If you know the researcher, do you also know the patent situation here perhaps? If I'm correct this is all using the deep neural nets matching on phonemes and I'm really wondering how I could use this if I wanted to. Is it somethi

I already had a feeling we were essentially arguing the same thing... Yes; the managed time approach in Glitch is very interesting and indeed a competitor towards addressing the same problem I originally raised. The core of my original stat
