Well, they have immutable data and persistent collections in common. Otherwise, agreed.

It always blows me away how well it has aged. As for being ahead of its time, we might miss some of the context: at the time, cross-dressing apparently caused some controversy, which doesn't readily occur to me while watching them now.

Sure; inheritance is a relatively efficient way to implement single dispatch polymorphism in C++. Not much more to it. Thinking about it in that way has made my life easier. Not that there's anything wrong as such in the example, it is

Yes. Humans tend to everyday-think in terms of agents with identity. Take that mentality over to programming and you will end up with coupling and state, typical OOP spaghetti. Of course, good OOProgrammers don't do this. I remember re

There’s not even any analytics or trackers. The shame!

I'm currently considering moving from bitbucket to sourcehut. Another way sr.ht is stuck in the 1990s is that it doesn't bludgeon my browser with analytics and gazillion requests like a certain bucket was fond of doing. In general

Evaluating hg.sr.ht right now. On quick scan I saw that man.sr.ht has no API reference for hg - I was wondering what the status for that bit is. Thanks!

Sir, I wish you long life and godspeed, but my threat model includes acquihire and lost interest ;) However, I keep talking how we need to avoid monocultures, so I guess it is about time I assume some minor risk.

I will be affected. I think I will take a serious look at sourcehut[1] now. I get a good vibe, but the bus factor scared me away before. [1] https://hg.sr.ht/

Thank you for the insight. I don't do a lot of powershell daily, but the last time I had a big batch job I was disappointed in how clunky it was to make a foreach-object -like pipeline utilize a sensible number of processes. I have for

I think Powershell tried to do something like this article suggests. I appreciate the efforts, but do agree with the common criticism of verbosity. Also, it goes to show that no matter how bad aspects of bash are, the power accumulated over

Bait and switch is a good reason for animosity, agreed.

I've always wondered about this sentiment about software you are free to use or not. Or is it the fact that a majority of others, or those that have the power, choose for you by making life harder if you deviate? Shouldn't you cur

I'm no xtlang expert, but I've seen first hand Andrew and others hotswapping functions on the go, so it is definitely supported. Ben Swift [1] is the guy who has written a lot of the guides and documentation, and when I met him he

There's also xtlang by Andrew Sorensen [1], which layers s-exprs, macros and closures with static types on a low level machine model with C-like semantics (LLVM IR). [1] https://extemporelang.github.io/docs/referen

This European spent a couple of carless months in Pittsburgh and found the public transit pretty decent. Only ride-hailed a handful of times. I do realize that Pittsburgh is probably not a median US city, but serves to remind us in the old

Finnish anecdote: I commute 35km by bike and train in 60 minutes (round trip). By car, I estimate it would take at least 90 minutes. Train service is reliable and runs 6-10 times per hour between 6am and midnight.

I thought the claim was that happiness and company performance were not correlated, but good results on these questions and performance were.

That's me! Thank you, much appreciated.

It has saved my behind a handful of times. Also shoutout to unordered_map for the debug build runtime check that equal keys have equal hashes.

In addition to the editors others have suggested, I've been quite happy writing Clojure in Sublime Text. In ST, you might want the lispindent and paredit plugins on top of the main Clojure plugin.

Identities change their associated values (state) by transactions. That means that from the viewpoint of concurrent observers (threads), partial or interrupted updates are never seen - the update is either 0% or 100% completed. In Software

I was at the exact same spot, apart from my (not purely rational) dislike of OOP. I was envisioning a STM-based concurrency mechanism along with collections with value semantics. Spoiler: today I write quite a bit of Clojure.

Then they would shift net profit to a more favorable environment, i.e. by paying some contrived royalties to the Irish sister company?

I wonder if that holds for national defence budgets as well. Weapons have certainly improved.

Thank you for the insights. Any thoughts on how it went down in Latvia, sometimes cited as a success story but also criticized [1]? [1]: http://cepr.net/publications/reports/latvias-internal-devalu...

Maybe the businesses in your country improve their conversion rates ever so slightly because of said convenience? We spend time and money to optimize for far sillier things in our funnels. I do not claim to know the aggregate effects, but I

As a thought experiment, how would the stack differ from Qt, which runs just about everywhere and has bindings for a huge range of languages?

Well, as an individual eurozoner I vastly prefer a single currency and for me personally it certainly reduces the friction of cross-border trade (I both buy stuff and sell services). I understand that many eurozone countries could be helped
