It’s a short circuiting conjunction. Consider `aliceWantsADrink && bobWantsADrink`. If Alice doesn’t want a drink, she knows it’s not the case that both of them want a drink. Since…

You should check out xkill, which transforms the mouse into the window killing button

I can’t recall exactly, I want to say 16 vCPUs and 64GB. How well a project can make use of the cores depends on how wide your dependency graph is vs how tall, as the unit of paral…

Not for correctness, but I was running low on disk

I worked as a Haskell developer for a year and a half. The best productivity boost I had was switching to compiling on an EC2 instance. I saved battery, sped up compiles with great…

> Attention to detail and thoughful design is what Chime is all about. Sorry for the nitpick, but a typo in this particular sentence was too good to pass up.

I don’t think this an entirely fair comparison. STM provides essentially primitive operations, Async just builds a higher level API on top of them for common pattern. Not unlike th…

It also creates a filter for investment in the patch. If the submitter doesn’t bother to do a second round for trivial revisions, it would have been a waste of time for the maintai…

I didn't read the hobgoblin the same way as the author being purely critical. I read it as a defense: a similarity between commands would make it easier to choose the wrong one. Re…

I'd say it's good in the sense that it is readable provided you are familiar with the syntax for list comprehensions and appendings, and obviously correct if you know quicksort.

(Enough of) Education has been free since at least 2010 in my experience. Employability is not.

Care to elaborate?

Contrast seems too low on osx+chrome, or maybe its just poor eyesight on my part.

I think wishful thinking twisted the title in my head, into reading of a lisp with a type system like Haskell's.

Don't you think an example where the type system has a visible impact would be appropriate? As it is now, none of the examples show anything that doesn't look like vanilla lisp. I …

Or current_time >= time_you_set_to_expire...

Or they saw a CNN special report on internet hackers and think they know what it is.

Congratulations on your decision. A lot of the time I feel like I should drop out of school, but don't because status quo just seems easier.

A novice was trying to fix a broken Lisp machine by turning the power off and on. Knight, seeing what the student was doing spoke sternly – “You can not fix a machine by just power…

Cool. But it's pretty easy to cheat, just resize your paddle to take up the entire screen and you auto-win.

AFAICT, it isn't very intuitive on how to get started. Why am I told how to undo and redo, when I'm not told how to do?

The link to "how-to-read-an-unlabeled-sales-chart.html" has an extra s after unlabeled.

My two cents is that the social scene in Caltech has a high degree of variability with respect to which House you live in.

If you do like his advice, I would not choose Caltech if the option presents itself. I happen to like it, and I don't know if other students are just "whiny for fun," but I hear a …

I wasn't able to. After a bit of hunting I realized the missing packages were on their site. Some of those make just failed, and on others it would appear as though make install we…
