I had no idea! Very cool. Thank you so much for this!

I don’t have a ton of value to add since the parent comment did a wonderful job of laying things out. I wanted to mention that I also perked up and paid closer attention when I saw…

Love Airmash. I started playing it again on Thanksgiving day after being away from it for over a year and it's been a blast!

It’s happened to me. I’m terrible at the whiteboard in these situations. I have a severe disdain for whiteboard sessions. I’m an experienced engineer, but I’m likely to fumble at t…

This was even more fun at a place like Sears or K-Mart where the sales folk were generally less technically savvy than Radio Shack.

Yes, that strategy works well. I've also found that "hitting the brakes and they'll fly right by" works really well in a knife fight.

I can't wait to try this out! The introduction video is incredibly compelling and it looks like an amazing product. Nice work!

A pro wrestling simulator in 2003. It's terrible. The code is absolutely horrible. There is a small community of folks that still play it.

I was two semesters away from finishing my degree. I quit. As a result I was unable to pursue the job that I had dreamed about as a child (joining the Navy as an officer and flying…

There's kind of a Python-To-Dart translator: https://github.com/PythonJS/PythonJS

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I'm building a game/simulation so I don't need a "native" UI. I've played with QML a bit and it's very nice to work with. I've also discovered that PyQt…

http://livecode.com/ This looks like a compelling solution for cross-platform development. The scripting language is a bit verbose but it looks capable. I've skimmed the user guide…

I'm sorry for not adding much value to the conversation but I just wanted to say that this was an excellent reply jblow. So much of this is spot on, particularly the parts about pe…

Agree. I was surprised not to see DOOM as well. Another MC I think would score pretty highly is Chino XL.

I had the exact opposite experience. I found that I was laser focused on a particular chunk of code when working in Clojure. Functions were logically grouped together. I never foun…

I think this is the crux of the article: "Greenwald and Banaji are not suggesting that people stop helping their friends, relatives and neighbors. Rather, they suggest that we dire…

This is correct. Once the Disney deal was announced, LucasArts folks had a feeling there wasn't much time left. I know a few people who left LucasArts for exactly the reason you de…

Not well versed in both, but I think desktop apps are an area where Clojure shines. Let's say I want to write a cross platform desktop GUI app in Haskell. What do I use? wxHaskell …

It looks like there is some sort of plan in place as I received a "SourceForge Project Upgrade Notification" a few days ago letting me know that they've upgraded an old project of …

I wonder if Python's metaclasses would get you what you're describing. Some thought would have to go into the primitives required to generate the constructs for the destination lan…
