I had a friend who was loitering at night. When an officer approached asking him what he was doing, my friend replied something to the effect of 'none of your fucking business'. The policeman warned my friend that if he swore at h

Surely that reprimand was the officer just cracking a (perhaps poory thought out) joke?

For my daughter quite often the highlight of our walk to the shops is that she gets to push the button at the traffic lights. Whether they do anything or not, she just loves pushing buttons.

Hallucinogen. Uplifting, just the right amount of repetitiveness, no lyrics to distract.

This is very much embodying the spirit of Kaizen, that of making continuous small improvements. To someone who does no exercise at all the thought of doing a whole 30 minutes of exercise is just too overwhelming for them that they will just

Before I had kids I knew exactly how to be the perfect parent. That all changed once I became a dad.

Agree. I have just finished reading it. It has left me wondering, are all administrations this shambolic - we are all humans after all - and this book is just a rare glimpse into what goes on behind the scenes, or is this just an exceptiona

It is interesting to note how Ivan Rogers, someone who arguably understands Europe more than anyone else in government estimated it would take up to 10 years to come up with a satisfactory deal. But he was essentially pushed out as he was

Thanks. That's very well put. Parenting can be real tough when your goals conflict. It's a real help to bear in mind that that is a normal part of the process.

As a parent I want my daughter to have a wide variety of experiences. So if she spends all her time on any one activity I am going to encourage her to swap it around and do something else. If she spent all her time playing guitar I would pr

You should also read Phil Bagwells paper on Ideal Hash Trees. I believe they were also highly influential. http://lampwww.epfl.ch/papers/idealhashtrees.pdf

I had this when I worked at a large enterprise several years ago. If I recall correctly we had to state goals for each of 5 major categories and another set of 5 supplementary categories. The categories were things like - deliver customer v

I find it more impressive and awe inspiring that stuff in space is so predictable that we can actually program the fly by such a long time in advance and get such a high degree of accuracy.

I use Common Lisp rather than Clojure at work. - During refactoring, do you feel more flexible, or less? A lot of it depends on how the code has been written. There are definitely parts of our code base that I really dread going near and th

It seems turning on reader mode displays the gdpr waiver, but then if you refresh the page it shows the article. I'd be interested to know how they managed to achieve that. The waiver doesn't seem to appear in the html source.. so

I think a lot of it could be personality based. With C, Lisp and Forth you bash out code and run it, see if it works and then make changes. You get much faster visual feedback. With Haskell, you need to put in a lot more up front thought. T

Ah.. I had wondered why it wasn't used in most other languages. Now, of course it seems obvious.

Forgot to add.. in common lisp everything is kebab-cased which makes case a lot less significant. Not sure what happens in Nim?
296.
by weavie 8y ago
Common lisp also ignores case (sort of..it's a little bit more complicated). I've never found it to be a problem - apart from the compiler always uppercases my symbols when it reports to me, it feels a bit like being shouted at.

It's open source, so the lock in shouldn't be an issue.. My first reaction when hearing about it was to wonder how good the ffi in Dart is. Would it be possible to interface to Flutter from different languages? Then I would defini
