An alternative strategy to limiting data is to obfuscate it at the source. If a small group of people use from a set of cards and each person pick one at random whenever they need to use it, the cards become little more…
I have been fluent in Scheme for some time. In fact, I used Project Euler problems and Racket (formerly called PLT) to teach myself Scheme. I enjoyed it immensely, and it reminded me of why I decided to study…
My relationship with Hacker News is also much like this. I have made exactly three comments before this one, and they were almost a year ago. If not for those, I might not have even created an account here. I just have…
There is a very big difference to those of us who don't have persistent Internet connections. Because of a rather unique social situation, I spend a lot of my time house-sitting at the home of a family member who died…
As you have said, it is practically impossible to use vectors without mutating their contents with (vector-set! ...), but purely list-based Scheme is actually quite easy to write without resorting to some variant of…
Upvoted in agreement. Without Project Euler, I probably wouldn't have been able to wrap my head around Scheme, and subsequently, I wouldn't have learned how to program without mutable state. The early problems are…
