The app started from the idea to see if we can make a developer friendly type training app. One thing this app should accomplish is being fast and intuitive with minimal distractio…

> Both of the replies I've received so far appear to completely misunderstand what I'm saying. I'm not saying the population will grow without limit no matter what. Point taken. I'…

Please, for the love of god, stop with fearmongering about overpopulation already. It's pure nonsense. http://www.worldometers.info/world-population/#growthrate "The latest United …

That's not true. I was one of the idiots who bought it on release day but I eventually got a (Steam credit) refund after a lot of back and forth. And there were several other peopl…

Interesting. I think you're on to something here. The wikia stuff seems to have been created in August 2013. The subreddit /r/cicada appears to be 11 month old, but the article imp…

> but most of the carcinogens should be in both Hm, I don't think so. While it's true that inhaling burned plant material is never a good thing, there is no evidence so far that sm…

The article is conflating stuff and is just FUD. You don't need certs to apply asymmetric cryptography. As I understand it, the NSA could insert itself as a so-called "Men in the M…

I am familiar with this line of reasoning and I have read the Joy of Clojure. I can't say that I agree though. The article you linked is just opinion and doesn't back up its argume…

I think we have already established that TCO is not necessary to be a Lisp (CL, Emacs Lisp). While it's true that Clojure doesn't have a proper numeric tower it does have bignum su…

Exactly my point. I was just using CL as example because I think it would be hard to argue that it is not a Lisp yet the standard doesn't guarantee TCO. > What is a lisp? It's a ve…

But afaik TCO is only a requirement for Scheme implementations, not for e.g. Common Lisp (i.e. you don't need to implement TCO to satisfy the Common Lisp standard). I don't see how…

I agree, but I'm wondering what you think is missing or broken in Clojure to prevent it from being a Lisp? Sure, it sits on top of the Java type system and one major thing I can th…

FWIW, in the case of Solar City he consistently emphasizes in his interviews that he has to basically "just show up at board meetings and hear the good news" and that most of the c…
