Yes; specifically, if the proposed settlement was "3taps will give Craigslist $1 million, which Craigslist will have no restrictions on", then 3taps might not have agreed to it.

Because it's private data? Now, they could make it -- on an opt-in basis -- work the way you want, but I'm going to applaud a company that is erring on the side of keeping private data private.

I'm not sure this is quite right -- it looks like all commits have the name of the maintainer, but two of the most recent 5 commits have in the comment that they're from someone else: http://www.sudo.ws/repos/

You can buy Lego a la carte here: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Pick-A-Brick-ByTheme . I'm not certain it has every brick, but it definitely has the a bunch of the standard ones I looked for. Also if you go to a Lego

I wonder how much of it is not because it's in AWK, but because it's about Lisp. But yes, it is interesting that you can do this. I'm not entirely sure what you'd learn from the image, but it's cool that it's r

This solution is right, but counts the number of points incorrectly -- or at least not rigorously. Infinity isn't a number, so you can't add to it, or multiply by it. So saying "one plus infinity times infinity” locations&quo

That's close to, but not quite the point. Let's say you're happy with your chef's output at work. The chef is making good dishes, and suggests changes and new items. Great. You ask, when the chef comes in for the day, wh

But set! doesn't take three arguments either. I mean, it's fine if you're just trying to show syntax, but if you say some code is Racket code, it should be able to be pasted into a Racket repl. If you're using real code,

Perhaps it's me, but I think parentheses are one of the strongest selling points of Lisps. The less I have to worry about special characters, special evaluation, and indentation rules the better. Also, I'm not even sure what some

I think this would be awesome, but might be hard to make work. I don't know whether people run Elisp for purposes that aren't inside Emacs.

Yes, macros can make code very hard to read, if designed badly. Of course, so can functions, variable names, and program flow. But Lisp with macros is very different from C++ with operator overloading. With C++ operator overloading, you onl

You seem to be concerned by the use of "Java". It's a fine example, and one I think I've explained why very well. It also seems petulant to declare Java off-limits. But let me try again. For _any given language_, there a

So there's some boilerplate that needs to happen. With macros, you write the macro to insert the boilerplate, and then you never think about it again. You don't write it, you don't read it, it's not in the way. Without m

Because macros let you control code in a way libraries don't^1. Java now has this way to iterate over a collection of things: for(String exclamation: exclamations) { System.out.println("I yell " + exclamation +

So you think of a feature you'd like in your language. Let's consider the process you'd have to go through to use that feature. In most languages, you have to write the maintainers about the feature. You then have to convince

Arc - the Lisp that runs Hacker News. It's a really cleanly-designed language. While it has rough edges, the problems with it seem to be things it doesn't do, not things it does for confusing reasons.

One thing you could do would be to have the purchaser choose from three options (e.g., a bouquet of flowers, a chocolate box + teddy bear, or a wine glass set). While this would make logistics more complex, the end result would be more tail
