There's cl-parser-combinators ( https://github.com/Ramarren/cl-parser-combinators ), which is supposed to aid in writing parsers in a painless, Parsec-like way. I haven't used it, but it may be worth a try.

Can the authors somehow back the statement of MySQL's popularity vs. PostgreSQL? If anything, the latter seems more popular, judging from the frequency of its appearances on HN.

This looks inaccurate. The First Republic of Poland was not fully disassembled until 1795, whereas this map shows it as nonexistent as early as 1764. (or is there some desync?)

Thanks! I'd spend more time polishing this but I wanted to release early and at least pretend not to waste the entire evening (elapsed time from initial thought to release: ~3 hours).

In an ideal world, this should really be a no-brainer. Gender-background abuse should be an abhorred practice, the way we normally abhor, say, killing people. It is telling that the topic of sexism in tech and the workplace is controversial

The dates on Dan Weinreb's blog are all wrong for some reason. This post likely dates back to 2011 or before. (EDIT: Ah, corrected by the moderators, thanks.) I had the pleasure of meeting Dan at ECLM 2008, four years before his death.

There are problems with all three techniques. The problem with adopting a prevention focus is that it doesn't work. Or, rather, it might work when the fear of failure is the only fear at stake, but -- at least for me -- it seldom is. F

This is a Google translation of a paper published by a Polish medical journal (in Polish, with an English abstract). Despite being an automated translation, it excellently conveys the scientific value of the original text. The journal in qu

I have very fond memories of OCaml. It was OCaml that introduced me to functional programming, way back in 2000 in my freshman year at the uni. I'm a Lisper/Clojurian these days, but I think warmly of OCaml's type system, the
