They're not lisps, and do not have proper macros.

Compare to: 1 + 3 + 88 / 2 - 2 Or (1 + 3 + 88) / 2 - 2 Or (1 + 3 + 88) / (2 - 2) If it comes down to it, I'm going to fully parenthesize the stupid thing anything else is difficult to parse. If I'm using all the par

I was never any good at math in the first place, order of operations always screwed me up, still does. Order of operations actually makes no sense at all (if you really think about it). So yeah, lisp is easier for me.

I was noticing that too, all of these package lockers look almost identical, with the same (easily identified) crappy touch screen and qr scanner. It would be interesting to see someone actually innovate in this field, but I'm curious

I had something like this at an apartment I lived in, it was called 'package concierge.' It was mostly nice, but where I lived there were issues with execution of the idea. At peak times (holidays) the package robot would get full

On the one hand, I agree with the sentiment. On the other hand, if it is really that shady, it is on the open source developer to say 'no.' As described here, it doesn't seem that shady. There was a choice between Kite and Je

The biggest problem is that hardware is a sucker's game. The minute you have to start creating even moderately specialized PCBs for your product, you incur a ton of extra costs. You have to deal with yields from the fab process, a hard

For 10% increase one would guess you could just overclock the brain, if we knew enough about the brain to connect hardware to it. I think you'd be more likely to get an arithmetic co-processor to start, wire neurons in such a way up to

It's a terrible analogy. A better analogy is you're a prostitute and you tell your client that you looked around and the going rate for this type of work is more than he's been paying you, so you're gonna go fuck other g

i've replaced bad caps in many home electronics, its kind of amazing how often you can look at a board and know the capacitor is hosed just by looking at it.

If you're computing the hash-table ahead of time you only need to do n+k. If you're setting the value in the hash table as you check it (as you would in a single pass), you have to do n-k as well. This is because the number you ar

by ohyes 9y ago
I had this thought too. If you check N+K and N-K you only need to scan the numbers once. The theoretically fastest implementation would probably use a bitmap, you'd only need 125 megabytes. (you'd dereference the offset and check

Roswell solves this problem completely. Quick lisp solved it mostly, but Roswell is the finishing touch in my opinion. https://github.com/roswell/roswell

I agree wholeheartedly. Modern corporate ethics are a travesty. It wouldn't be that everyone should do this. It is that everyone engaging in business with a sociopathic entity is required to. Otherwise the sociopathic entity gains

I guess the question is: Why is the ethicalness of this action a consideration at all? It's an economic transaction. If enter into an exclusive deal to sell the number of widgets I make in a month for a flat rate and then I make a widg

The 'algol' example doesn't have enough context to demonstrate that there is a lexically scoped block. The lisp example contains an empty block. If it were truly algol it would probably have an 'endlet' symbol at th

I think the real question is whether this person is salaried or hourly. If they're hourly, then yeah, billing 40 hours a week when you only did 2 is fraud. If salaried, I think it's okay. Here's why: Individuals in the compan

in any reasonable implementation of lisp the let is implemented with lexical scoping. This is because it is the transformation of a closed over lambda, and lambda arguments have lexical scoping akin to a stack push/pop. If it weren&#x2

This isn't very good argument. Infix mathematical and logical notation is a tiny part of the code that I write. More complicated mathematical productions lead me to fully parenthesize the statement anyway . Further, to my knowledge th

The lisp version includes the scoping of the variables. We have no idea if/when the variables in the second version go out of scope. This is a huge problem in languages that aren't lisp.

Yeah so I did some research, there's 250+ employees at the subsidiary foundry 42, which would indicate far more than 100 employees to pay for cloud imperium. If it's 400 people or something working at that company, burning through

A lot of the grossness is syntactic sugar, if one were so inclined they could get by with a handful of operators, and end up with something fairly clear as you demonstrated. So if anything I blame lack of good taste for regular expressions

Yeah, that might work. It appears to be very political/corrupt in Massachusetts at least. It doesn't really matter what liquor store you go to as prices are basically fixed here. They'd have to get the distributor license app
