I am a hobbyist Scheme programmer, and I can chime in and say that Clojure stack traces are among the worst I’ve ever seen in my life. Chez errors aren’t the best in the world, but anything beats those JVM ones, imo.

If you login to Spotify on the website you can get a better deal and then you can sign in on your phone and it will work like normal. If they got into trouble I assume they’d just make all the users do it that way…

I’ll take the China Deluxe instead, actually. I’ve been incredibly pleased with DeepSeek this past week. Wonderful product, I love seeing its brain when it’s thinking.

If you don’t pay to read papers, you don’t get to complain about the titles, imo. I hate ads, but I’m not paying for YouTube Premium either. That’s how it goes. I get ads.

Meta being way ahead of the game as usual. Acknowledging race in job seeking makes for intrinsically tokenized contingents of people. I’m not just a PHP guy… I’m a BLACK PHP guy, etc. True equality imo is equivalent to a form of neutrality.

You’re absolutely right. If it weren’t for my kids and my wife, I would’ve blown the money and ended up in poverty or something. My heart goes out to people raising young ones in today’s world. Seems like things have only gotten harder and

I stopped working over twenty years ago and it was the best thing to ever happen to me. I spent thousands of days with my children, paid off my house, we drove brand new cars for the first time ever. Over time, I’ve just found things to do

Useless and dead end aren’t synonymous. It’s most certainly a dead end, but it’s also not useless. There a lot of comments here already conflating these two. This article is also pretty crap. There’s a decent summary box but other than that

In what situations would one prefer this vs Lean? This seems to compile to native code if desired, so does that mean it’s faster than Lean? Forgive me if these are obvious questions, I’m just curious and on my phone right now away from my m

Aren’t people who are good at anything in possession of different brains? I know a guy that plays chess around the 2000 level, but cannot read. I have a cousin who can memorize a deck of cards, in any order, in just a few minutes. Everybody

Speaking frankly, I firmly believe it’s all a matter of taste. I like lisp because it matches the way I approach problems. I like to think of the program as a jig I’m building rather than a static component. Being able to write macros means

Common misconception of non Lispers that macros are equivalent to compile time programming. You’re not simply moving the evaluation to compile time, you’re moving it upwards outside the program space into a higher dimension of programmabili

I’ve always thought that CPS is a good barometer for finding out whether a developer is talented or whether they THINK they’re talented enough to design and/or implement these kinds of compiler components. This kind of thing but defini
