OTOH, it's fortunate that the people that like those things get one obvious place to meet.

Besides the JVM part, this is my take on it: as a language, Racket defines a vast possibility space, which is a superset of that defined with Clojure. You could implement Clojure (…

And sometimes I can do fine with no wrapper at all. Not only there's a lot of JVM code available, but interfacing with it is pretty quick, straightforward and smooth compared to wr…

Nah, you'll be fine.

If you're interested into digging deeper, this just came out: https://purelyfunctional.tv/guide/clojure-collections/

Echoing back the verb is a common way to reply affirmatively in Portuguese and (traditional) Galician. I hear that was common in Latin too. For some old Galician people, replying "…

I remember no big changes, nor any breaking changes, from Python 1.5.2 to Python 2. The major version bump was mostly a marketing move. At that time, a 1.x.y version number didn't …

Yeah, why not? (Holy f* s*)

Maybe "bank-issued" currency is more accurate for the more traditional kind?

So apparently they really did close Sirkus[1], but they didn't tear down the house and build anything in its place? [1] :´(

Could you elaborate on Varoufakis' confrontational manners? I think you may be misattributing to Varoufakis some moves by other actors in the Greek government. As for high stakes..…

I don't suppose you mean that discussion is futile because our sources are tainted? In this case Varoufakis is saying pretty much the same he used to years before he had any politi…

FWIW, @barbijaputa is a contraction for "Barbie hija puta", which would be literally translated as "Barbie, daughter of a whore", although it's best understood as "Barbie the basta…

It's not like they're having a lot of trouble pushing around Spain either...

A non-difference is that most of those loans went to service old loans anyway. And the main reason Greece can't get loans on the markets is because its current debt is obviously un…

I'm not disagreeing categorically, but I don't think it's that one-sided. I was (i) considering the cascading effect of a Greek exit from the Euro, and (ii) thinking in relative te…

Don't be so sure.

Economic policy is not designed for the benefit of "most Germans". I can assure you that life became much better for "some Germans" in the years since the Deutsche Mark, as cheap l…

OK. It's just as clear that Greece will not be able to indefinitely refinance its debt. As in, debt will perpetually grow beyond GDP. I don't think this is even controversial. The …

If you read up on IMF's track record, esp. in Latin America, you could be excused to roll your eyes approximately as hard with both versions. I understand that Wikipedia accepts th…
