At the risk of destroying your productivity for the day, you can probably fix that annoying line over your line numbers (that is, http://imgur.com/GhaNq ) by messing with your fringe-mode variable. I think I remember its presence having so

Nope, the Haxe program reads and includes the file at compile time, but only if it's a string literal. If it's an expression that evaluates to a string (which only works if you have static typing, as Haxe does), it reads it at runtime. If

While I don't disagree on your other points, lisp's parentheses aren't just for the convenience of the parser, they're also for the convenience of the programmer who uses macros. Homoiconicity is a huge boon there. Try using another languag

WRT formatting, a lot of JS coders think you should always begin your curly braces on the same line as the statement, not on the next, or you risk the wrath of automatic semicolon insertion. The formatter seems fine if you do it this way,

Interesting article. If you're interested in the labels as values approach he mentioned, I read a recent article by Eli Bendersky, here: http://eli.thegreenplace.net/2012/07/12/computed-goto-for-ef...

I disagree, as that's silly, and semantically incorrect. Calling the Fay compiler a "transpiler" would imply that it is a source->source compilation, like CoffeeScript. From what I can tell, it _actually compiles some of Haskell to Java

It's far enough away in terms of semantics that it's not particularly relavent. I'm haven't written much Haskell, but from what I can tell, Haskell is really all about the types. And the laziness. And the purity (which is all about the type

Hm, seems that sometimes you need to click on edit in JS bin (in the top right corner) to see the editor, http://jsbin.com/welcome/edit is the URL. It seems like it's a JSFiddle-like editor, with a better (in my opinion) user interface, a

Quite neat, I hadn't heard of this. Nice to see it even lets you use CoffeeScript, LESS, and some other compile-to-js and compile to CSS languages that I hadn't heard of (Traceur and Stylus?). Also seems like a nice UI. Might try it out as

For what it's worth, Clojure has implementations of Phil Bagwell's HAMT-based hash-maps, vectors, and sets. These are absolutely amazing data structures, and offer functional updates, a list-like API (O(log_32(n)) for most operations, whic

This is great, I'm extremely interested in seeing where this goes. It reminds me of my own (tiny) roguelike-in-clojure experiment: http://thomcc.github.com/dunjeon/ I remember having a great deal with trouble dealing with the lack of immu

While I cannot say for certain that neurons are not the only thing responsible for these behaviors, I'm fairly confident in saying that we don't know nearly enough about neurons to assume that 7,400 equates to "pretty simple".

Freenode uses ##<channel> to refer to "non-primary" channels. Regardless of what that means (I don't really know), the channel you're looking for is ##php.

Err, I love Rails and all, but don't confuse ease of use with ease of learning. The thing about putting convention over configuration is that you have to learn a lot of conventions.

To be fair, with lisps there's no real difference between a feature from a library and a feature provided by the language.

I have more of a problem with the fact that it could happen. Besides, you really don't think there would be a market for taking less well known songs, rebranding them to make them palatable to the masses, and selling that? I can't imagine t

Hardly. If the length were 2-3 years then the studios could (and probably would) remake songs by indie artists which didn't become popular in the first 2-3 years. Copyright of 2-3 years is better than no copyright at all, but it's so sho
