Well yes, in theory, but it's generally considered in somewhat bad taste to replace fundamental basics of the language. At that point you're not really writing Clojure anymore, it's hard to read other people's code, it&

Oddly, as someone who was reasonably into Common Lisp, what really viscerally turned me off to Clojure was the use of square brackets. This sounds petty but I actually have some rationalization for it. Once you learn to read Lisp (mostly l

They make/sell "industrial" fanless Intel boxes. I got one of these[1] for a router, and it's worked well so far. No moving parts with an SSD. [1] https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KX9OU5

I dunno, it seems a dramatically more reasonable response to preventing accidents than the disaster that is PTC[1][2], which has cost billions and will probably never work properly. [1] https://www.aar.org/policy/positi

A Promise/async/await implementation of 'async.auto' is trivial, as you can use the behavior of promises themselves to avoid solving the graph: async function Promise_auto(tasks) { const keys = Object.keys(task

I kind of like Haskell, but the learning curve is brutal and the documentation is often intensely non-helpful if you don't want to learn a whole lot of mathematical terms. i.e. when browsing and trying to understand parts of the XMonad

I think it's cleaner to allocate the header information before the actual pointer (or, conversely, to return the pointer sizeof(array_header) into the allocation). Then it's trivial to pass around. struct vec_header_t {

How would you handle being able to trap and fix bad memory access (i.e. hooking SIGSEGV/SIGBUS) with this scheme? Lots of programs use this for various reasons; off the top of my head at least a few generational GCs implement their wr

initramfs isn't (and wasn't) at all about keeping your boot files below the 2gb mark on a disk. It's about actually mounting your root filesystem, either on a fully-modularized kernel where all of your (hundreds of) block dr

It almost certainly saves space as the odd placement would be to optimize signal routing. You need a fair amount of space around a BGA to fan out all the signals, and at $20 they certainly have tried to do this with the minimum number of P

If you hash, with or without salt, on the client for changing the password, you'll also need to hash identically when checking it (i.e. for login). In effect, the hash becomes the password; even if the plaintext is never leaked the fi

Can't speak for the original poster, but at this point Postgres is a very capable and performant document-store database as well with the addition of the JSONB type and associated indexing and modification (in 9.5) functions. It'

|& is useful in these cases, as it redirects both stdout and stderr to the piped process's stdin. It's a cshism, but it works in both zsh and modern bash. Much nicer than typing cmd 2>&1 | cmd . For context try grep

Also since packs are not used (the design document says it stores all objects as loose objects) there is no delta compression. This won't be usable for large repos with lots of history.

Fair point. What I was attempting to convey is that the reason I think the CL condition system works so well is that at its core it doesn't attempt to manage control flow directly; i.e. neither HANDLER-BIND nor RESTART-BIND unwind the

by phs2501 11y ago
Restarts are nice. The thing is, though, is that restarts are relatively easy to add to any language that has well-supported structures for non-local control flow; they're just a protocol, after all. That's really what Common Lis

No built-in help with native promises, but with something like Bluebird you'd prefer: something().then(() => { return Promise.delay(1000).then(() => { whoops_not_a_function(); }); }).catch(() =

IMHO, very doubtful; Bluebird has a lot of (very useful) features that would be pretty burdensome to put into a specification. On the other hand, there's really no reason not to use Bluebird. It's easy to ensure that a promise yo

This bit me in a library of mine. Some third-party code I used was using long as memory offsets which failed on Windows 8. Unfortunately I was developing on Windows 7, so it didn't get noticed until the customer stumbled over it. :(

The syntax looks a lot like M-expressions, but the evaluator is about as far from a normal Lisp as you can get. Mathematica uses a fixed-point evaluator; that is, expressions continue evaluating until they reach some stable state. Every co

Smearing is not suitable for all applications, however. For example, anything requiring sub-microsecond precision (i.e. data acquisition) would require at least a 12-day smear to not fail its timing requirements. Such precison is well outs
