I'd say it (rules based programming) is useful quite often and dramatically simplifies cognitive overhead for a lot of problems (UI is actually what comes to mind for me). It isn't used because of the initial sunk cost in learning

Better to use emacs/slime with Meta-x slime-connect and ssh port forwarding.

librarians are very vocal about privacy and freedom of expression issues. This does not surprise me at all.

I was playing this on my phone and was regularly "we're not actually sure you're human" I was also a little buzzed at the time. I'm pretty sure this isn't accurate.

You don't need to pay taxes on the thing that doesn't exist.

I seem to recall it depending on compiler settings whether sbcl does tco. Which means you probably don't want to rely on it in general unless you are okay being locked to a specific implementation and specific optimization settings tha

Is this really the money or is it the relative fame and lack of anything to do with his time? It seemed like he was genuinely happy creating games. Why can't he go back to that rather than being a celebrity? I could imagine him fading

"I hit a plateau..." "I haven't picked up my dulcimer in several months" In my experience learning instruments follows a 90/10 sort of rule, you can get the easy stuff in a matter of weeks, the harder stuff is

The difference is that the 401k the matching contributions go into the employee's fund immediately. The pension is really just a promise of funds in the future. Historically pensions have been: a) reneged on by the employer b) underfun

I learned to send follow up emails to remind them I was waiting on their input. If I don't hear back in a reasonable amount of time it's an email.

If anything, I think it should be the other way around, write software more like one does music.

Yes, this is basically all descriptive of me :( the relationships thing hits the nail on the head and has been a recurring problem.

I'm sorry for your loss. My dad thought his heart attack was indigestion too. Ended up with a quintuple bypass and is still with us but it was really close.

I've never been diagnosed but I'm bored all of the time. I'm almost 30. I've been fairly successful in jobs where I'm learning new stuff all the time. Is it possible I'm ADD? Edit: I got bored halfway through t

Also consider that the c/++ versions use intrinsics which means it's basically a compiler vs random assembly level code. Without that level of optimization they're fairly equivalent.

Amazing for a garbage collected dynamically typed language.

You also have to factor in the pods/disks failing at N$/month and making sure the data is backed up in a redundant manner (more than 200 pods?). And skilled helper monkeys to swap bad disks. And electricity. You also probably want

Why is 'rewrite in c/c++ the first thing anyone does when they acquire a wildly successful project. Notch should give Mojang to me, the first thing I'll do is rewrite mine-craft in a combination or Haskell and Erlang.

Sure, recognition can be traded for money. It has value. I would wait for them to fold or for a significant number of years to pass (basically for plausible deniability and any no compete to pass). But really, why work on the same thing twi

I don't understand this. If you want to do a startup, just do it. Do it before you have a bunch of excuses for why you shouldn't.

So we say the language is terrible because the world around it changed? Using Common Lisp may be inconvenient because the standard is out of date, that doesn't mean the design (or language) was a failure in a historical sense. I just t

I wasn't trying to contradict that. I was trying to indicste that failures in it are due to how much the terrain has changed. By and large the standardization process was successful, the failure is that there haven't been any revi

Actually, severance is for keeping your mouth shut. If they were interested in op keeping his mouth shut, they would have offered a severance package. They did not so he can say what he will.

It's more like wiring together a series of tubes. The signal has to propagate from one end of the tubes to the other in a single clock cycle. Note that the tubes can go backwards, so you can feed the output of the tube into the next in

I think it's the level of cynicism required to execute on something like this. Not that I think this is bad or wrong, just a very cynical view of dating.
