Sorry, but the author just has not understood how git works. It is explained in the Stackoverflow answers linked to.

Because they wanted to get the money, I presume.

I have the impression that this is mainly a point-and-click GUI for an implementation of a quarter of Common Lisp. To translate their calculator tutorial ( http://www.jetbrains.com/mps/docs/tutorial.html ), in Common Lisp you would write a

I cannot replicate that. I have a lot of bookshelves, and they are all full.

I do not understand why the subclauses of `case` are not to be indented.

At least they _had_ a story. Anyway, what kind of games does the author propose as better? The article really seems to boil down to "I don't like them."

It depends on who "we" are, but for a working group of people, there is a big advantage in being at work at the same time, being able to talk to each other.

That is not the point. I do not need a session variable of my search results. I just need the results, displayed on my screen.

Comparing Scala to Java is not the point. You should compare it to Clojure, ABCL, or Groovy.

I find it really irritating that this site requires cookies to be settable for the display to work.

As a software developer, my work is worth somewhere in the magnitude of about 30 euro per hour. If I write an "app" over the weekend, investing perhaps 20 hours in it, that makes 600 euro investment. Imagine that I would want to make as m

"Oh, I have this great idea that I would love to implement. Nah, if I don't get a copying monopoly on that for years to come, I will not think about it anymore. I want to create once, collect forever! Otherwise I won't do it. Dub de doo

You would pay not for copying but for creation. A software developer would be paid for solving new problems or customizing known solutions to them. Pretending to "sell" shrinkwrapped information is stupid nonsense.

It looks like half-serious, half-trolling to me. He (or his troll persona) seems to have written no line of Scheme or Common Lisp ever, and he has obviously no contact to the respective communities. I can imagine that he has a point with N

By the way, Common Lisp has Drakma for this: http://weitz.de/drakma/

If a system does not work for the population it is intended for, who is to blame? The population, or the system? It does not matter. In any case, to make it work, you need to change either the system or the population. I am quite sure th

Note that it does not mention anything like "too high for measurement".

Output _where_? The measurement reported is on the second floor inside the reactor building.

It may be an indication for salt water, but there are other explanations. For example, also sand can have something similar to fluid dynamics. You need to take the low gravity and thin atmosphere into account and do real calculations or s

This misses a few things (aside from english grammar). For one, while there are fields where user demand is the most important design basis, language design is not one of them. I believe that the design of a language should put ab initio t

What I do not understand is that Python is seen as a good language to teach Computer Science. I would have thought that a requirement for such a language is that it is theoretically sound. Python has a broken scope concept. Also, I think

No. While there always is a difference between someone claiming a certain property of a thing and that thing actually having that property, some properties are easily verifiable but others are not. For example, "offline capable" is easily

Never call anything "intuitive". Chances are overwhelming that it isn't for the majority of people. For the programmer himself, even a "change into meta-workflow-hyper-mode" may seem intuitive, but for someone who never has used a computer

The 50% capacity figure is from their own website, but I still suspect it to be too generous. My reason for assuming that the "200" is not the electrical net output is that they write "MW", not "MWe". I have become quite cynical about the

OK, so what _is_ the method?

Big toy. For one, maintenance will _not_ be low. Wind turbines (and nothing else is used here) do have quite some maintenance costs, and additionally, you need to keep the greenhouse clean. The main problem I see is the capacity. 200 MW p

What does this have that Common Lisp doesn't?
