    You might want to filter local and unroutable URLs, for example entering 127.0.0.1 renders a MAMP Pro page.

    There are no semantic problems with this, but typing will get in the way: you can express it fairly easily if all the functions have the same type (such as Int -> Int): actually it…

    It's more like the pipe operator in ocaml ( http://blog.shaynefletcher.org/2013/12/pipelining-with-opera... ). The lisp version has the extra advantage that you don't have to repea…

    This kind of proofs usually are separated in two steps: - correction: define a loop invariant. Assuming the loop terminates , it will hold when the program exits the loop. - termin…

    This is correct, I missed this!

    That's assuming that this particular string was already present somewhere in the binary. Since it is only present as a reference, you would not see the string in a binary patch.

    Thanks for the heads-up! For some reason mailchimp was returning 403s from heroku, this must be related to this morning's outage. This is fixed and I added the emails that failed.

    (shameless plug) I totally agree, that was awesome to discover random websites. I think that there's still a place for webrings these days, so I'm creating the webring club. Feel f…

    Yes, it's not very formal and as others said it would need some definitions to make a useful result. But actually I don't think that this duality is related to types: in a static l…
