I find it interesting that the Monkey language, created solely for the examples implemented in this book, looks strikingly similar to a simplified EcmaScript (ES2015+ actually). Is ES/JS the best example of a parseable language? Why no

Very hard to do. Humans get tricked into ads all the time, so imagine AI. Besides, an AI trying to understand the intentions and meaning of a Turing-complete system from a slice of its code and data is like a brain trying to guess another b

Well, first and foremost they are not the Military Police. The OP seems to use that terminology for a hyperbolic effect, I find this attitude very frustrating giving the sensitive aspect of the situation in Catalonia. Secondly, they are

Not the Military Police. The Guardia Civil, the takedown petitioner, is one of the two Spanish national police forces, the Military Police is a different corps entirely which belongs to the Army. The Guardia Civil is similar to the Gendarme

Typedoc [1] is an excellent documentation generator for Typescript. And every other modern language, be it statically typed or dynamic (with the help of annotations), has had some sort of auto-documentation generator either bundled or at pa

HN to me is the ideal model of modern, democratic publisher for the times we live in. Content here is self-moderated and slightly editorialized. The community strives for a civil, educated debate and penalizes who doesn't follow suit.

Sorta... "literally" may add emphasis to the figure of speech, a hyperbole, to make it even more hyperbolic. But in your example, "to explode" (according to Webster's) also means "to burst out in anger", s

There was a time I was a lucid dreamer too. I did it using a simple technique my dad taught me which is to keep a notepad next to bed and every time you wake up from a dream, write everything you can remember down. Then read what you wrote

The article does not offer counter-arguments to balance its own hypothesis. It uses FUD profusely, including threats on "global security", and has a click-bait title: the $47T is the combined assets of the banks pledging to align

I'm still a big fan of passwords. Long, hard to guess passwords. More than one password/phrase as a failsafe, in case I lose it. I got my first iOS device 3 days ago as a gift, an iPad. During the excitement of the setup process,

I love Paris, but just like Barcelona, their wide boulevards can be off-putting sometimes and their more cozy, narrow-street, neighborhoods tend to be tourist traps. Montmartre and Borne come to mind, both gorgeous but crowded with visitors

It probably could, but typically studies associate music and precision [1], not speediness. OP's anchor points to a specific part of the research that cites speed along motor dexterity as an unexpected result. Regardless of the similar

I think Perl was fighting on too many fronts at the turn of the century: web, systems automation, data processing, science and a few more. Today these areas are better covered by other languages that have hefty internet buzz and corporate s

It's not the same. For instance, you could not use a `const` variable. Also having "phantom" scope blocks get very nasty to read once you have more involved logic, as the block itself has no implied meaning and the programmer

A year back I dropped a proposal idea at the EcmaScript discussion list, I hope it get's picked up sometime. My idea is that `let`, `var` and `const` return the value(s) being assigned. Basically I miss being able to declare variables
