I thought brackets ( eg '[' or ']' ) are Clojure syntactic sugar. I don't recall much use of them in Common Lisp (or Scheme), though I'm happy to be shown the error of my ways.

> Have you looked at the article? Well, yes briefly (it lead to the question by saying it was clojure inspired), but I didn't have time to delve fully into the minutiae, as am at work and for some reason they keep expecting me to do

In what way is this clojure inspired? (Just curious.. Does it need the JVM, or is it a brackety/syntax thing?)

I did too, but I saw this video (which is part of the very entertaining Sixty Symbols series, btw) which had a demonstration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Uqf71muwWc EDIT: i_cannot_hack got the link in before me. Kudos

You don't even need to buy an amplifier. You can stick the key against your head and the water in your brain will amplify the signal. Bonus points for taking a plastic container of water for even further extension of the range!

Do remember, they also have F# which is very much a functional language (in the style of SML or Ocaml)

Thanks for posting that, it's interesting and instructive to see examples of f# code 'out in the wild'. Much appreciated!

I found Cockos' Reaper to be pretty good. Worth checking out, at least.

An aside (and trying not to be snide with it) but you can certainly be indoctrinated into Insanity (or perhaps Brainwashed might be a better term). Just look at Religion and/or Cults. To be sure, not the same cause, but debatably a var

Out here in Switzerland it's almost the opposite out in public.. one can walk about (ok, not so much in busy areas of main cities) and greet and be greeted by random strangers. I'd agree it's a cultural thing.

Bit of a late reply.. I've actually been following through the Washington University course from them directly (not via coursera). I guess it's similar if not identical as this also does SML, Racket & Ruby. Well worth the effo

I don't suppose you have done any work with unity and f# have you? I'd be interested to hear any war-stories in that context.

Use the html version, not the pdf that is available - the pdf has (or at least did recently) errors which will throw the unwary (of course, if you enjoy learning and working out the errors, go for it...). Otherwise this is an extremely us

I too have been trying with Haskell in the past. I don't know, maybe I'm just dumb as a box of rocks.. I found working through learning Standard ML (which consequently has lead me on poking about with F#, but that's another t

He seems to miss out the combination of clever & stupid. ;) (ok, industrious & lazy too, but...)

I know what you mean here, especially wrt Haskell, however I've been recently ploughing through the Standard ML videos hosted by Washington University (which also later apparently goes into Racket and Ruby), and found it has aided my u

Very nice work, and the diagram wrt the PS was very instructive & helped very much with visualising the bending of light. Thanks!

These are really quite compelling, thanks for sharing!

We've got 2 M1000e's, but they're slowly being retired and TBH they're in a 'do-less not do-more' situation (mostly!), so I haven't honestly had much experience past run-of-the-mill blade config, so that p

I'm curious to know what your perceptions of the FX2's are, since it had been racked up. (EDIT: Over and above what's in the article.. Because they look quite nice, is why I'm asking - we haven't got any.. yet! Stil

That's a really nice cabling job. I've inherited 2 DC's with just-awful-enough cabling that I'd be exceptionally happy to set up new racks again and migrate, just to sort the bloody cables out Sigh, don't think it
