I am happy I always read some HN comments before clicking on the OP link. I can save time. We should plant trees everywhere in the world, that's one of the great thing we can do fo…

And also doing the exercises of The Scheme Programming Language 4th at the same time to refresh my Scheme knowledge. Using DrRacket as an IDE with the line `#!r6rs` to avoid using …

I also have started doing SICP recently with Racket and `#lang sicp`. Sometimes I skip some exercises and will come back to them at a later time. It allows me to choose when to adv…

I don't think it is necessary to avoid Racket since "The language #lang sicp provides you with a version of R5RS (the fifth revision of Scheme) changed slightly in order for progra…

But then you have all the Erlang libraries for free which is huge. And you add to them the Elixir libraries and that gives you a lot of stuff, just like you get with languages with…

Being belgian I thought that the city of Brussels did something. Using the term EU is more precise I guess in this case. For us, Brussels is just a town in our country, not the EU …

L'oisiveté est la mère de tous les vices ;-) Which is a lie of course.

Rediscovering it through the Dafny programming language. Brings back memories of a 1994 University course.

"The whole proxy is maybe 200 lines of Go with an in-memory MAC-to-tenant lookup table." Is it possible to have the source code or is it private ?

This is exactly what I am feeling (the title, didn't read). I can't see why I would give a copy of my official id card or a picture of my face to a basic service on the Internet. S…

Like in the Dafny pogramming language. Cfr. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLS_y842fMc

I realized this when I was on vacation in the french alps in summer time and saw a place dedicated for snow storage and labeled as such. I was "what ???" and then the penny dropped…

Yes. Go check https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_prefix and also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix if you want 1024 bytes.

Yes, I do not trust TM. That's why I have both a backup with TM for convenience and also to have all the files (including system files), and a mirror of the important files (basica…

Made me think of "How to do the jhanas" by Nadia Asparouhova: https://nadia.xyz/jhanas Cessation is impressive and the rest too.

"(...) maybe growing vegetables or using a Haskell package for the first time, and being frustrated by how many annoying snags there were." Haha this is funny. Interesting reading.…

Tsoding made a video about it : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0o8Ex8mXigU

Do you plan to share your solutions on Github or something similar ?

Since my mother tongue is french, I guess I didn't choose the proper english word. In the context of an attack we sometimes see the "fight or flight" response. But I don't know wha…

This reminds me of Henri Laborit's book entitled "Eloge de la fuite" (in praise of flight) which states that when faced with stress, we can respond with action, flight, or inaction…

I only read the first 88 pages of Prolog Programming in Depth but I found it to be the best introductory book for programming in Prolog because it presents down to earth examples o…

@YeGoblynQueenne Dunno if it will ping the person

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ck9DjekcK4M Looks like there are 14 videos.

Haha the translation is so funny. But I confess, as a native french speaker, I could not code in that language. It is so weird because I am used to english for coding now. Sometime…

I think the median is better than the average because high salaries (outliers) will skew the average upwards. So now I am wondering what is the median salary and how it compares to…
