To take lisp based web development to another level, what if we had a "browser" environment that embedded racket and executed sandboxed code instead of JavaScript/html? (Goes back to dreaming)

To summarize what oracles appear to do, they capitalize on information served via https and the verified status of the certificates used by sites, to have an independent party (the "notary") declare that the information was indeed

This article is dated Apr 2016. "Oracles" seem to be the way now to inject external data. Oraclize[1] can apparently be provably kept trustable. Anyone with deeper knowledge of this? [1] http://www.oraclize.it/

"Exhalation" by Ted Chiang is, I think, a great literary exploration of this topic and brings the essence of what is required for life, though it doesn't get into what life is as opposed to other phenomena. For those who&#x27

It is better left undefined since that would close its evolutionary scope, excluding great experiments in "noise music". Does it produce something that affects you is what matters. David Cope's work is interesting in this reg

Apple stood for privacy in the US where privacy is part of law. It didn't stand by privacy in China where privacy in some forms is prohibited as part of law. Asserting the US law in China would discount China's sovereignty, implic

"it" is common in that sense, but muse additionally models "the" as a function that turns verbs into nouns - like we do. For example, (open-file "blah" 'for-writing) (write (the open-file) "

Humble submission to the cause - using "the" and "it" in a scripting language to avoid having to come up with variable names all the time. Way back, I'd designed a scheme-based scripting language called "muSE&q

If you're particularly asking about reference material that you take notes about and would like to search and retrieve and produce reports on, Zotero might work for you. I have many years of research notes on it - it's a hyper-boo

This is a great question. I have to admit that the only effort I've taken thus far is to minimize reliance of external parties. For example, on my utility site, I don't use google/fb auth but have used Persona and recently ro

To "live" in this sense is, perhaps, to "flow" in the Mihaly sense. You can't flow if you're dead, but the flow you seek is not a panicked fleeing from death. Not too different from deciding to run a startup -

Pete Naur's "programming as theory building" is an excellent read on the topic. Not only on the executable code front, I've also found the type notation used in Haskell to be a great modeling tool using which I can check
