For those Mac users who are unfamiliar with objective-see... Their free security tools for MacOS are a boon to the community. I think that they are right up there with "little snitch" and the like, especially since they spare the

This is an excellent Haskell resource. Grades are given by both application domain (e.g., "web development") and development task (e.g., "testing" or "IDE Support"). Each of the categories has not only a grade

When I hear "IP" I now perceive "rent." Rent is drag and is a prime mover in income inequality.

This article seems based on a false analogy. Real (geologic) hills can be measured. Their dimensions and slopes are objective quantities. There is no debate about their shape. Mr. Dixon's hills (objective functions) are the stuff of wa

While Fallis' analysis the origins of 'The Girl' was interesting, it did little to mar my opinion of the art. After all, the wealthy, the clergy, the knighthood, and worse have all sponsored great art. On another note... Whi

838 points later and this post is only the 2nd reply directly to the OP? And much of the commentary to date is about command line tools on Windows? Wow. Blasphemy. OK, I'll bite. I'll talk about the Mac Pro news. First, I'll

Interesting. My big takeaways were: (1) For most of the country, 40-70% of the folks in sample say they are concerned about global warming (GW); (2) Areas of widespread (70-90%) concern are limited to the west and northeast coasts; (3) Many

So web content, notably blog posts, have gone the way of musical content. That is, the written "albums" no longer sell; the market just wants "singles." So the blog version of "Stairway to Heaven" will become a

Cool. I'm always game for a good discussion of DSL's and Lisp (Racket). But what struck me immediately was the quality of the "Why Lisp Why Racket" essay. This is probably the most compelling that I've seen as it ge

The main thing that I miss is "Last Year." For many topics (e.g., Mac OS issues), I want to eliminate legacy results. But "Last Month" is too tight and sacrifices quality.

I don't see how Erik's chart obscures anything. Quite the contrary. And zero-based charts make percentage changes more obvious, not less.

Well, that's not quite how I think of these constructs. To me, imperative programming defines a series of steps for the computer to execute. Declarative programming describes the state of the world through a series of assertions. Funct
