GP here; you've used much better words to mirror my opinion. This being on Hacker News, my initial thought was that it would be an amazing technical display. Frankly, it isn't, but the discussion here has helped me realize that th

I watched the video...is this anything more than a mashup of groupchat and speech-to-text? Couldn't something similar be achieved with Google's speech to text API and IRC? I would've been impressed if the transcription was am

This article struck a chord with me (a young millennial). I spent a lot of my childhood doing camping and other outdoor activities, and in the past six years or so turned to programing. In both situations, problem-solving is much more value

That's a bit ad hominem, don't you think? I thought the author made good points regardless of his personal circumstances. [Disclaimer: Didn't downvote you]

$ sbcl * (defun nil (x y) (+ x y)) * (nil 3 4) 7 And there's really no way to systematically account for what may or may not be in the namespace without completely missing the point of homoiconicity.

It's a complete joy to use. I use abcm2ps, which adds a few extensions and is pretty powerful. I mainly use it for single melody lines (albeit with complex ornamentation), but have done a few multi-part pieces. I can send you a sample

c'''' is valid in The Music Suite as well. That said, I won't be switching from ABC for my day-to-day music writing. I see The Music Suite as being useful for, e.g., writing a fugue, where the music can be elegantly

Some would say that the difficulty in signing up is a feature—Metafilter wants dedicated people who've really thought about it to sign up.

I guess I should be happy that there's a (seemingly) profitable CL project. But I wish there was a free "Hobbyist License" (probably with some restriction like not being allowed to publish in app stores). It looks like a very

It's not a double negative...denying non-FFs != allowing FFs.

Yes. If I pinched out it would turn into a normal size, wait a second, and then return to being terrible. I couldn't get through more than a paragraph because of this.

How is this possibly beneficial? My dealing with email after 6PM often saves me time/effort the next day, and if anyone is truly bothered by it they could...not check their emails after 6. I've also put out a few fires and helped

This is because `bool` is a subclass of `int`. Which sort of makes sense to C programmers, for better or for worse.

As a child I was more than happy to spend ~10 minutes waiting for my ancient computer to boot up and load a game, and even now all the League of Legends players cope with absurd startup time. In contrast, it'll take less than a minute
