But traditionally it's been full of caveats, namely whenever you have long-lived objects or instances of classes somewhere in your hierarchy, causing all sorts of hard to debug issues. I used to do manual hot-reloading when working in

Yesterday I came across a screencast I made in 2009 back when Xcode had separate windows for the console and the editor[8], and Interface Builder was a completely separate program external to Xcode. One of the things that stuck out to me wa

Go also does this, although I never appreciated how useful it is until you made that point. Thanks for that. Also thanks for writing D, it was great to read through it's documentation, and I've been meaning to play around with it.

In the same way, every Catholic around me reads "Catholic" books written in the past 20 years that are 90% watered down and 10% quotes from older books. So imagine my surprise when I found all those old books they were quoting wer

Extrapolating from Alan Perlis's quote, I think it's better to have 3 products that each do 1 thing well rather than to have 1 product that does 3 things very poorly.

Online groups can and do influence people's thoughts and beliefs over time. Just my own anecdotes, but I've seen people completely turn against those in their lives who were obviously well meaning and supportive, because of basele

Isn't that enough? We can control fire. We can create technology from this one unique capability, which no other creature can. Others have the physical capability to control fire but they cannot actually do it.

No, but I think the confusion could be in the definition of rational. We're the only creatures who have the ability to reason abstractly, which is why we're able to do many things even the most intelligent other creatures can&#x27

Right, that's called rationality. All other creatures are irrational, they act only on pure instinct, even if that instinct is sophisticated, such as the primates seen sharpening sticks for hunting, or the birds that drop hard shells i

Generations has been a concept long before marketing. I do wonder about who draws the line for where a generation begins/ends, but the concept is pretty clear: you are one generation, your children another, your parents another, your g

There was an article the other day that said divorce rates for millennials is down a notable amount from baby boomers, but without the marriage rate lowering. One way of interpreting this is that baby boomers have more selfish tendencies th

Yep that's the approach I took when I started my job search a year ago. Took notes on every potential employer, managed my interview schedule very carefully, made sure always to have my phone with me. It worked very well and within 6 m

Validating that user feedback is legitimate and not from a bad actor sounds pretty hard.

What's the conclusion? Seems to me like it could be that it's near the end of the work day for most casual HN readers and they're cranky (low blood sugar from a standard American diet) so they downvote whatever they see?

I remember writing bindings for Zephyros in Chicken Scheme, it was an enlightening and fun experience! and I just wanted to echo all your comments about it.

by sdegutis 8y ago
Downvotes just happen on HN, no need to let it upset you. I have a theory that some anarchists have bots running that just downvote new comments in an arbitrary pattern. You know, to keep things perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

Also the Clojure language had a huge growth period around 1.1-1.5 which sparked a lot of excitement and spurred a lot of community growth. But since then, most of the exciting features have been adapted to other mainstream languages either
