I liked the part where it suggested a JS JVM was useful since JS could be compiled for the JVM.

So if you're used to sleeping for eight hours at a time...should you set your alarm for four hours, wake up, do something sedate for a while, and then go back to bed? Should it be more like 4.5 so that (in theory) it happens at the end of a

Writing a program that analyzes traditional Scottish music and composes new tunes in the same style. Right now I'm in the careful planning phase--reading up on LSTM recurrent neural networks and such, but I should be able to start coding s

Scheme is a bit more biased in favor of functional techniques though. Recursion (in the vast majority of cases CLers will just use (loop) instead of recursing), continuations...

That's a great book for new programmers, but if you already know you like Lisp and have the experience to be able to dive into PCL or PAIP or whatever, LoL is unnecessary. The books in the OP are valuable for any programmer.

I think the stock of people who are comfortable with Lisp but know nothing about C has dwindled to be almost non-existent.

I stopped reading at exactly this line. With it he established that he's merely speculating, and quite frankly I'd rather live with my own speculations than his.

S-expressions don't excel at anything--the claim to fame is that they're good enough for everything. If we wanted to put macros into 1956-era Lisp, it'd just be something along the lines of: (defmacro add-two (x) (quote ((quote +) 2 x

by tsm 14y ago
What I'm saying is that in Lisp it feels like a natural part of the language. There's not a big leap from: (defun add-two (x) (+ 2 x)) to: (defmacro add-two (x) `(+ 2 ,x)) (And much more complex macros are still readable i

This gives me an all-new appreciation for Lisp. It's nice to use standard list operations in a macro instead of needing to learn AST magic.

Be aware that :wq will update the last-modified timestamp and :x will only do so if it's actually saving.

by tsm 14y ago
For rhetorical effect, `:wq` is right. But in the real world, `:x` is the better choice.

It seems like it's missing something (I'm comparing the pretty graph of profanity in the kernel[1] with manual searches). Is this only 3.4.4? [1] - http://www.vidarholen.net/contents/wordcount/

If the original title begins with a number or number + gratuitous adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys." Exception: when the number

People always treat hjkl as the single biggest roadblock to vi(m) adoption, and I don't get it. Two points: * First and foremost: If you rely on hjkl, you are doing it wrong anyway . You should be using f, w, ), :n (for integer n), ^d, ^f,

I'm assuming it refers to the fact that most simple Emacs-flavored shortcuts work in any textfield. C-A for <Home>, C-E for <End>, C-K to kill to the end of the line, etc. Certain tookits do this on Linux (Qt for one, I thin

It's an interesting language since it's (obviously) all beautiful and Lispy, and has good support for functional ideas...yet very much encourages a "get it done" approach. For example, here's something like how a Schemer might implement fi
