I'm in a taxi at the moment driving home from Orly. There are lots of those 'chauffeurs' out there like there are at many airports in the states. I walked by them to the taxi stand about 15 feet from the airport exit and am n

I just don't see how it's remarkably simple. In other langs with good stack traces I get exactly the error at exactly the line on which it occurred. In Clojure, I quite simply don't. I do absolutely love the rest of Clojure.

I hate to harp on this issue, but I tried Clojure for about a year on and off. I just couldn't get over the really crappy stack traces. I would break something and then spend 10 minutes tracking down whatever I broke. I'm happy wi

Demagogues have been around forever. Also, this idea of a "soft world" is contradictory. Your claim seems to be that back in the day, because things were less "soft", Ali was allowed to be more self expressive. Yet, it&#

"somebody who gets out and tells everybody that he's the greatest would still be "allowed" to earn reputation that way" Golden age fallacy? Off the top of my head, here are few people who fit that description in var

Unit tests function as a kind of REPL for me and allow me to code considerably faster than without them. Without them, it takes me considerable time each time I want to test the smallest code change since in order to get my app to a testabl

"We said 'Thank you very much, how much was it again?' She said '£9.50', so we said 'Here's a £10 note - keep the change!'" Kind of a dick move.

The great majority of people shouldn't read these — not because they're not good books or don't increase one's chances of startup success (they may or may not — I have no clue), but because the great majority of people w

Absolutely agree with the socio-economic bit being the main factor. I wonder, however, if a minor factor is the ability to skim, which is strengthened by reading young. My girlfriend is Brazilian who speaks English well and I observe her ha

What does it matter, beyond some elitist thing? I'm not accusing you of such, but I'm just not sure what another reason might be.

"And it's exactly something that will happen to us..." There's nothing in your mouse anecdote which justifes this conclusion. Humans are, as I'm sure you're well aware, quite different from mice.

I've been mulling over creating such a thing. I would like something just about programming. No valley gossip and other off topic stuff. The biggest problem as I see it is that posts aren't tagged/categorized. I suppose one s
