I will not use any browser that incorporates this. If some sites fail if it is not present then I will find work arounds to using those sites.

Leaving aside a moment the unexpected threaded fork issue mentioned I am thinking putting all the data to be shared among the processes into Redis would at least be a lot better th…

Gives me more reason to learn and use Julia. I have used python for years and love it in many ways but it certainly has warts.

More evidence they are either grossly incompetent or attempting to destroy the US economically. Take your pick.

Interesting. Much like the temperature underground on earth.

Nice catch! Frankly I think this points to a real danger of any central widely used service of which Cloudflare is an example. Any vulnerability or exploitation of such a point jeo…

Making someone with ADHD inhabit an open plan office is cruel and unusual punishment. Hell, it is so for any knowledge work without ADHD. That has been known ever since the Peoplew…

Or lowest common denominator, stuff you want get in trouble for doing, pablum?

This is grossly overstated. 1) far less methane in atmosphere 2) it deteriorates rapidly 3) the majority of it is NOT from cattle.

Yeah, remember how Amazon got theirs. Not that those results will apply here of course. A lot depends on how much upside your investors and stock holders believe will eventually co…

DNS is getting rather long in the tooth and I expect it will be replaced largely RSN. Article assumes we will keep internet address assignment the same as well and not at least mov…

If we generously assume the models which do not have a good record of maching actual data are correct, 2.7C is not remotely catastrophic by the IPCC's own analysis. Average tempera…

On the taking pride in LOC counts I really enjoy the opposite. Especially rewarding is blowing up a bad manager who things LOC increase equals productivity. So much fun to report I…

It isn't lisp but I have used xonsh which is a python shell. It has a lot of nice uses and it is much easier to right python that can interact with normal shell commands well inclu…

There is a small prolog implementation in the book "On Lisp" done in 200 lines of code or so.

I would love to see the front-end equivalent. Recommendations for what to use and avoid in clojurescript. To OM, or Reagent or something else. Global front end satte or not and so …

Well, if it was just the REPL then perl, python, ruby etc could be pointed to. It is more than that. Although I do have a deep love for python via ipython and ipython notebooks.

The author seems to not know that there is open source in Common Lisp as well as most every other language. Open Source per se is orthogonal to whether Lisp or Language X is a grea…

Heretical or not you are dead wrong. Don't think so? Go program in Forth or Assembler instead of your current main language for a while and get back to me. There would have been no…

Something that I have noticed really distracts me is computer eye candy. I am sort of glad that Linux laptops just aren't as visually WOW as OS X and Windows, especially OS X. I fi…

The problem is that for most of us those four hours you feel ok about spending doing nothing are the only hours of the day that can be used for appreciably changing your life. For …
