    The method they accidentally found is not as bad as you make it to be. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabin–Karp_algorithm Rabin karp with rolling hashes is actually (not exactly bu…

    Have you thought about using the hammond distance, instead of the array? It should give you the same answer in 3 CPU instructions on registers instead of 2 array lookups and arithm…

    This is the mentioned indiegogo campaign https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/revolutionary-treatment-f... sadly it looks like they are still quite far away from their goal.

    http://www.selflanguage.org You should watch the videos on the introduction page and play a bit with the system, it's interesting to see how much interactivity and liveliness was a…

    The fie is huge because it seems that animations were converted to multiple PDF pages. So page count is not a useful metric for presentation progression and information amount.

    They didn't contain much of the live programming story? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ox5P7QyL774 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ka4KY7TMTU

    Yes, I also dug into its codebase. Have you actually used Self for example?

    LT didn't bring any new inventions, emacs, self, morphic, CL, they've all done some aspect of it 30 years earlier. LT has shown however that you can make a load of money of kicksta…

    It's good that LT is finally acknowledged to have failed as "the uber clojure IDE". It's architecture is horrible, and its catering too much to other languages. Once it's dead the …

    If you install nightly builds on a production system you deserve to get bitten.

    I really don't see the advantage of trying to sell clojure and emacs as a package, it just alienates a lot of potential newcomers. Sadly almost every Clojure tutorial I've seen so …

    Why though? Cursive has a working debugger while Emacs doesn't. Emacs has a lot of stuff outside the realm of Clojure, like irc mail and orgmode, but Cursive really is the more adv…

    Bullshit. I'm in my early 20s and have MS. That is not a feature.

    I agree 100% with you. Rigidity is something you don't want, but this is something entirely different. ROS serialisation format is basically a C++ struct that gets send over the wi…

    Just do public foo(Bar bar) { bar = baz(bar); //Lots (10+ lines) of code return finishProcess(bar); //Note, this should have been updatedBar. } nothing prevents you from reusing th…

    I think you got immutability and single side assignment mixed up. If foo is immutable there is no harm if something else tries to manipulate it because it will just derive a new da…

    The current serialisation code needs to die, and be replaced with something usable and already existing, e.g. zeromq + msgpack. There are currently horrible bugs in the very founda…

    With Unicode these predefined functions have to be large and complex. You won't be able to use them on embedded systems for example.
