I think most people just read /new -- at least that's what I do. And afaict, the only thing that shapes /new is time always appearing to move in the same direction. I comment on things I'm interested in. But not always

There is a big difference between unreasonable and bad. Python was always a good language because it was basically the same pseudocode we all scribbled on blackboards anyway -- with the added advantage that computers could execute it. I ju

Our brains were written in Common Lisp with all types declared and (declare ((safety 0) (debug 0) (speed 3)) -- that's obviously a joke, but maybe there's a kernel of truth in there somewhere? ::shrugs:: Our brains are also consta

Choosing work that is paid less in not being punished for your choices -- that's silly -- it's the obvious and expected result of having made that choice. Nurses btw, make very good money. Looking at a list of male-dominated field

I work at a very small company. There are only 4 developers: 3 full-time and 1 part-time. A full work week is defined as 35 hours, 5 of which are to be spent on research/study. So when you figure in the daily standup, I get to spend ~

Give a realistic estimate of the cost. There may be some options for scaling horizontally -- explore those before making your estimate. It may be that the benefit outweighs the cost (you don't what they have up their sleeves -- maybe

Do you specifically want a graph database? Because if not, SpatiaLite's VirtualNetwork module may work for you. Otherwise, neo4j.

Wait six months and get a new gig -- jumping ship after a year and a half is fine, and that's how to get paid more. Smart monkey doesn't let go of one branch till another is firmly in hand.

I'd just make a call to the twin words API. https://www.twinword.com/api/word-associations.php For "balloon", it doesn't return "birthday" but it does return "party"... { &quot

It should be. It's difficult to see the value of experience until you have it. Because you don't know yet what it is you're looking at. I'm sure you'd agree that you're a better driver today than you were at

There's never a talent shortage. It's always a salary shortage -- in other words, a shortage of talent for what employers want to pay .

Hire some talented people to build all the things I've wanted to build but lacked the energy. Specifically, I'd love to buy Clozure Associates. And a house somewhere where it never snows. And a dog.

Before the internet we spent a LOT of time on BBSs! And we generally had (sometimes indirect) access to the internet -- Usenet, uucp, email -- through some combination of Fidonet, WWIVnet, and somebody running an open-access Unix box. And o

I think the single most important issue with laptops in 1985 was that they were heavy. Remember, that was the age of conspicuous consumption -- people went out of their way to show off how much money they had spent needlessly. I had a T1100

You could guarantee a win with 175 million or so. You couldn't however guarantee that you'd win more than you spent -- because others could win as well, diluting the pot.

Which paradigm can you not implement in Common Lisp, jona?

by stray 11y ago
Certainly. You can use either sqlite or core data (though core data isn't really a database). In my own current project I started with core data but am now converting to sqlite. hth.
