The Clojure in the article isn't idiomatic, as the author admits. You could do something very similar in Clojure, though the details are different. In fact when I tried this problem my solution was shaped about like yours.

I think I disagree. What he wanted can certainly be called a matrix. An m-by-n matrix has an entry for every (x, y), 0<=x<m 0<=y<n, but that's not a description of the way to represent a matrix in memory. That is an imple

Emacs is good for this. A buffer of clojure code in cider-mode can be (re-)compiled easily when you're jacked into a running session (as he does above). Of course, some of the issues the author faced can't be solved by Clojure&#x2

One can also achieve it in emacs using the multiple-cursors package. https://github.com/magnars/multiple-cursors.el But I wouldn't necessarily call emacs "great for non tech people". (I suppose it's

I think you may have confused "rational response" with "response that feels good to me".

It is a simple problem to explain, and the goal may be to use it to explore novel programming paradigms rather than to solve it optimally. I am sure Matt Might knows about the efficient solutions to this problem. By the way, there are plent

Why not instead do _.map(_.values(thingsGroupedById), function(thing) { // operate on thing } Then there's no need to do the property access yourself. Chaining makes this even nicer: _(thingsGrouped

I'm surprised it's so new. And wget is only a year older... what did people use before then?

It turns out stuff like that is already done. I just found out, by viewing that thread, that reddit responds to GET requests with the X-Moose:majestic header.

I think this is fixed in upcoming releases. It DOES NOT crash for me on Chrome Canary (43), on OS X 10.10. It DOES crash for me on Chrome 41, same OS.

Have you tried this? It runs on some BSDs, so I expect there's a chance it'll run on OS X too.

For those who are wondering, you can still use an embedded webview, which does end up doing just-in-time compilation of javascript.

I think it has to be fairly new (at least in its current location) just because the .wiki TLD is under a year old. "[The top-level domain name]... became available to the general public on May 26, 2014" - https://en.wik

Who says ((0 1) (1 0)) is a real matrix? It's a complex matrix whose entries all happen to have 0 as the value of their imaginary part :)

It was my understanding that people have already extended emacs in the usual way to do lots, using llvm or clang, and that this argument is only about trying to do things that can make it into emacs proper. Is that not right?

Merging of tweet shards is also possible via the same mechanism. Just tweeterate through the retrieved shards and merge them one by one. To merge two lists, compare elements pairwise. To compare elements pairwise, construct a two element li

There are a few benchmarks where the difference is a factor of two or so, which is actually significant. It does require a careful reading and a healthy degree of skepticism about the close results (the majority) to get something useful fro

You'd also probably need to do some fairly precise calculations in order to manufacture accurate measurement tools. Chicken-and-egg sort of problem?
