Author here. Oh. HN frontpage. That's cool I guess. Well I have plans for today, so I'm sorry that I won't be sitting here defending my article. However if you hit me up on twitter…

Author here. Holy cow. Thanks for all the kind words guys! I'm primarily a back end dev interested in hardware, compilers and operating systems. As a long time HN reader I can't be…

Author here. After maintaining a blog built around a "real" CMS, and a "real" CMS that I built myself, I'll say that my existing blog is built atop Jekyll and Git, the same stack I…

Author here. I'm definitely aware that there are many pitfalls to Clojure than just the standard library docs. There's an open issue for adding a syntax guide and a macro guide, I'…

Author here: It's funny that you say this because as of right now there is only one example on Grimoire that isn't on Clojuredocs :P

I'm sure that adding a small disk with the source code to the warhead would be an acceptable and valued solution.

Application of research methods before breakfast? good man.

When the risk of of obtaining content by illegal means is not outweighed by the cost of doing so by legal means. If I can pay USD 1 or Ɖ1500 or some other small amount to watch a m…

Correct, however if this "exact runtime bound" is what you are going for, then please use the correct notation. T(N) = 2N would be legitimate, as would \Theta(N) = 2N. Saying that …

Writing this as a now ex-employee, I'm sure that our IP will live on. We had some really neat stuff in the pipeline, and I look forwards to seeing it hit the big time in the next f…

You've also described Clojure...

Arguably, but the D-21 drone [1] was... a mess & a failure. Line Of Sight radio control was the only real option. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_D-21

Not only are we to cheep to fly fast but we've also banned supersonic flight over most "civilized" land masses. There are only three or so US mainland airbases where it is legal to…

Context: At this point in history, the USA and USSR had aircraft fleets on constant patrol with tanker resupply. The concept was to simultaneously shorten the response time of stra…

Ars gives the SKIF-DM's designers more credit than they deserve. Gorbechev didn't want a Soviet SDI program and was highly critical of the military's existing research efforts in t…

bah just as I was finishing my register allocator... My Firefox history indicates that I have read the Mjolnir page before, but I don't recall why I didn't use it at the time. Taki…

I can't stress the C++ api part of this enough. At the moment I'm building a Pascal compiler in Clojure for course work and when the time came to do byte code generation the first …
