If I remember correctly at least Alan Kay openly admits being very inspired by Lisp. Unfortunately the limitations/walled gardens they chose to impose in the name of simplification, everything is an object etc, had us…
Mostly agree... The reason it's not all about power/competition is that corruption is very easy to get into your system; be that individual, corporate or otherwise; and tricky as hell to weed out. Once you've been there…
Do you know what the best predictor of future behavior is? They're acting all nice and friendly right now, wasn't always like that and there's no reason to assume it always will be. Even the catholic church is pretty…
I've been practicing Ving Tsun for around 25 years. Many aren't aware, but the most of the system is based on blades. The issue I've been having is finding good enough knives to train with. Most of the stuff out there…
The same as someone who died from a second round of untreatable cancer after having their system wrecked? Look, I get it; cancer is no fun. But when the cure is worse than the disease, it doesn't make sense any more.…
Same here, except I prefer C since that makes it more accessible. That would also allow others to write clients for their favorite languages.
I skimmed both books several times back in the days, but didn't really have enough experience to know what to make of it. I once used the bridge pattern to write a multi backend GUI framework, looked it up in the book…
My boss at my first gig was like that. Would always praise anyone who worked late or rushed in there to put out fires outside of work hours, he wasn't very interested in preventing fires but always first in line to play…
And that's fine too, it's perfectly ok to disagree with the choices others make. But that's as far as it goes, you wouldn't like someone else telling you how to spend your time without getting anything in return either.…
Worrying where it will come from is never going to be a good idea, worrying in general is the worst kind of visualization. Dying from starvation is not really realistic in any western country, many will even stop you…
Hey now, none of this is my fault, most of us are in the same boat. As much as I would want to be completely independent, this society tries it best to make that really difficult. But I'm working on it, I don't consider…
Flagged, really? Didn't rhyme with the HN narrative I guess, probably violated some CoC paragraph. Ah well, this too shall pass. Just know that from the outside you look very funny when you run in circles chasing your…
I mean that in certain areas we've recognized and pay tribute to the importance of visualization. But then we fail to make the connection and realize that the same mechanics apply to everything. It's mainly the…
Take a look around you; I'm sure you can find plenty of people living if not outside, at least on the outer perimeter of society. They're still here, some of them in better overall health than more well adjusted…
Oh, for heavens sake. That's as far as you can see? You can get that in prison. We were born and raised on a giant slave plantation. There are enough resources to take care of everyone, so much that some of it has to be…
There are plenty of people who are managing that without making any money at all, despite all sorts of prolonged efforts to turn their way of living into hell. Integrity, being surrounded by loving people, being in good…
That being said, this one [0] gives correct results and runs slightly faster :) [0] https://gist.github.com/codr4life/59f2c02403b27d551e706f673b...
I would submit an entry for my own project, Snabl [0]; but it intentionally doesn't support the algorithm since naive recursion beyond a few levels doesn't make much sense in practice. I added a separate keyword to…
Haha, wheretf did all the users come from :) A nice problem to have if you ask me...
So you're saying never use recursion? Or never benchmark it? I don't get it, it's a tool; a pretty good tool when combined with tail call optimization. Yes, the algorithm they use is naive; I believe that's part of the…
Different machine and superior algorithm, where are you aiming with this?
Thank you for that, I need more bewilderment like I need another hole in the head. Next!
Same here, I couldn't bring myself to contribute to the current drama for all the money in the world. This crap has to crash an burn first, then I'll be more than happy to help create something better. While I'm…
Static/dynamic is obviously a gradient. I find it a bit sad that it always seems to be either or these days, either no types or a full blown static generic type system. I'm all for the ability to type variables and…
Laurency's The Philosopher's Stone is one I'm sure about, fairly certain I read the same thing in Blavatsky's Isis Unveiled. There are more but it's been a long time and I don't have the books available now. Is it…
