   Hey ciconia, I wanted to email you to tell you this, but there's no contact info in your `about`. So I'll make this public. I rarely remember the HN articles I read, much less the comments, but today I found myself blaming myself

   Meanwhile in Poland it's been 78.2% in 2018, "down" from 78.4% in 2017. And the Polish government has made it clear that coal will remain the basis of energy production here. I'm frustrated as I'm writing this on a

   I have attempted following Ghuloum's paper, too. One difference is I wanted to make it as self-contained as possible and didn't want to depend on a C compiler or binutils. So I wrote a simple assembler. Here it is, all in Clojure:

    In Warsaw, Poland, the mean distance between bus stops is 1,041 metres. This may seem a lot, but the distribution is heavily skewed by the fact that Warsaw has 4 express bus lines: not taking these into account, the mean is 699 metres. Sour

    It's always nice to see IF featured on HN frontpage. Especially of such quality as Zarf's. It's been a while since I last played "Spider and Web," and there's a lot of new stuff for me to discover, too. Even if

    It's the first Lisp I've seen in which numbers don't evaluate to themselves. In fact, it doesn't even have a number type. A number-like symbol is just a symbol. I now wonder whether this was the case with McCarthy's
