It's kinda funny how the semantics of this thing are so non-obvious and nuanced, that it takes so much effort to explain to people how it works :)

88 and 18 are the ones to watch out for with these types. They sure do love dem small numbers.

Anyone here know of any "real" programs and projects using Guile? Would be curious to hear of any blazing success-stories.

This is why I like having a good todo-list and note-taking system, I can offload those concerns and not think about them until they're needed. I then have plenty of spare capacity for both generalised planning and chilling out.

Presuming that organic computers are special in some way that would justify an inter-stellar war of conquest to acquire them, the care and feeding can't be all that expensive. Perhaps a jar of nutrient-rich slurry, housing five or six

Ah, gotcha. I'd still wager it's more common than we think :)

Sure, but presuming the deployed personnel are not Asexual, the problem still stands.

> people would like to think that the military have sex with each other all the time... This is, in fact, the case though. It's not unheard-of for personnel to have a casual boyfriend/girlfriend for the duration of a deployment

It sort of highlights how the business model for these VPS hosts is basically to tap an IV into the bloodstream of sweet sweet startup cash from VCs. They have little interest in helping out bootstrapped startups, because why hook into a th

+1 for Todoist, really under-rated app, and it works everywhere, including the Web.

So, as of right now the only supported version of Bootstrap is v4-alpha?

It's almost as if none of these guys have ever read any nightmarish dystopian cyber-punk fiction. Megacorps as stand-in for governments == bad.

Good point on Elixir, I should have spotted that, as I've been learning Elixir over the last few months.

Depends on the game. Many games are only remarkable for their combination of story and aesthetics, with the minute-to-minute play being fairly mundane. In that case I can see a bunch of people just watching a stream and not bothering to pla

> What is async in JS and Node (unless you use the sync alternatives) is any kind of IO (disk, network). That is also async for the CPU. The same statement is true of Erlang and Elixir, yet they manage to handle non-blocking async code w

My favourite example of this madness was back in my Eve Online days, where, for years on end, I would be bombarded day-and-night with ads for Eve Online. SIGN UP NOW, JOIN THE ACTION, all the usual bullshit, despite me having an Eve account
