Just tried it on a program I had lying around and PyPy3 2.1b1 took about 37 times the time that PyPy 2.0.2 takes to run it. So, yeah, some performance regressions, but it's still great news that Python 3 support is here!

Maybe this varies from country to country, but in Mexico "escalera" means ladder, and "escaleras" means stairs (or the plural, ladders, with context disambiguating).

I didn't try building it from source, so I didn't know about any difficulties in doing so. I agree that that is a serious issue. In particular I wonder if patching Scintilla and Lua is really necessary... About opening files and n

I would call that hacking in Elisp, not on Elisp, which is why I asked.

There are definitely other programmable text editors available. I use Textadept, which is like Emacs with Lua and minimalism instead of Elisp and evrything-but-the-kitchen-sinkness. Of course it doesn't do nearly all that Emacs does bu

by omaranto 13y ago
Try textadept! It is structured in a way similar to Emacs: small core in C, most functionality written in Lua. In my opnion the only thing better about Elisp than Lua is that it has macros, everything else, from scoping to speed and corouti

What does hacking ON Emacs lisp mean? Does it mean working on Emacs's lisp interpreter's source? Or on some project written in Emacs lisp?

by omaranto 13y ago
I do that too, with textadept & Lua instead of Emacs & elisp.

Haskellers complain about Haskell's module system and say that SML's is better more often than any MLer, I think.

I don't think you understand how Undo Send works. You don't have to wait when you send an email, as soon as you click send you are free to do whatever else you want.

Maybe you mean functors instead of endofunctors (an endofunctor goes from a category to itself)? But that's a minor quibble, the main problem is I don't understand which categories you mean? What are the objects and morphisms? My

split(' ') and join(' ') aren't quite inverses of each other, but they are adjoint. Do you mean you think they are adjoint functors? How are they functors, between which categories?
824.
by omaranto 13y ago
I disagree, I found it very muddled. For example, how are split(' ') and join(' ') supposed to be adjoint functors when they're not even functors?

Are you sure about Comic Sans? The only information I could find from Microsoft was on their font redistribution FAQ [1] and it says Until recently, most fonts that include a Microsoft copyright or trademark notice have only been

I found the bit that says "If not, you probably don’t care about fonts, so it will be Comic Sans" unnecesarily agressive and false: his post displayed completely in Droid Serif for me. I don't install Helvetica Neue or Comi

Really? I thought most terminal emulator only let you use one font at a time. If the one I use let's you have text in multiple fonts displayed at once, I certainly don't know how to do it. Or by "multiple fonts" did you

What do you mean when say that you wish CoffeeScript was this? I mean GorillaScript exists, so if you prefer it to CoffeeScript then use it rather than CoffeeScript.

I think Facebook itself has the memory leak: I never leave it open for more than about an hour at a time, but I've heard from people that leave it open for days that it can take up between 1 and 2 GB; some of these people use Firefox,

That has definitely changed: not only does Firefox start up much faster than before, but Chrome starts up much slower than it did before. (Of course, I just mean on my machines, have no idea if it would be true on your system.) If start up

Well, if you are a keyboard person and don't want to go to a niche browser (like dwb, vimperator or jumanji), then Firefox+pentadactyl is better than anything available for Chrome.

I have to say, that last bit about not getting paid to write this comment on HN made me wonder what percentage of comments on HN are paid for. I never thought about it; I guess if asked I would have guessed 0%, but you never know...

Could you mention any of the good points in NKS? The reviews were so uniformly negative (many of them quite fun to read) that I got the impression there was nothing to it. I paged through it once and saw lots of pretty pictures, but nothing
