Wow that's a helpful response :/ ARM devices are happening.. without having seen your codebase I can't speak for how hard it'd be to build for a new target, but given that you're targeting win32 and posixy systems already it seems achievabl

While I think the first 4 are subjective, the money argument has always been deeply flawed to me. Did you do something that wasn't imperative to your ongoing survival today? Did it cost you money? WHY DID YOU DO THAT?! Money is a means to a

I enjoyed the read, but I borked at your suggestion that not being purely functional, and the language barking at you if you break that convention stops you learning functional programming. Take most Lisps (I'll assume scheme, because it's

I disagree completely. His signoff line about a green on black terminal- _must be a hacker_ just struck me as arrogant and dated. Programmers aren't some mythical beast people hear about but don't see. Open source software is usable by your

You're sad because people disagreed with you? Have fun in the OSS world. Your original post is a bit ridiculous too. OSS isn't for the commonfolk? I guess android isn't the most popular smartphone OS and ubuntu isn't grabbing huge market sh

It's simple really: For production code, test everything. anything less than 100% test coverage (outside of a one man team) is a disaster looking for a place to happen. In my personal projects, I write no tests. And then I get to some point

Noones treating this as a definitive source of truth. It's a fun way to gamify our bug squashing efforts.

Let me say thanks for writing it. This easily makes the top 5 pieces of text I'd recommend anyone interested in really knowing what happens to their code needs to read, at least once. I probably go back over it once every 6 months and it al

Despite being a stickler for normally calling out reposts, I'm not sure I've seen this one on HN before, and it's a FASCINATING read, even if you're not into ASM.

"The first upgrade is adding RAM, which is a must-do to almost all laptops. From 4GB to 8GB, it reduces the access time to your hard disk, thus reducing loading time as well as prolonging the life of your tertiary storage." Whaaaaaaaat? Non

I love how the article reads with phrases like "proof" and the pressrelease uses terms like "appears" and acknowledges that it has undergone essentially zero peer review. It's interesting for sure, but the post reaks of zealotry.

Can you elaborate on what lead you to think you "needed" to learn clojure or another FP language? There aren't a lot of problems faced by the commonfolk that can't be solved with procedural/OO languages, especially the current crop.

My point isn't that I could smash this out in an afternoon (Noone could, obviously. Doing something like this takes tons of trial and error). My point was just that, it's almost entirely trial and error. This isn't the culmination of a dras
