Format is ugly, but like a bulldog it is so ugly it's cute. If you don't want loop, you can always use iterate. :-)

Perhaps because it uses draft.js?

I've seen this in various Lisp implementations. And the Boehm collector is written in C for C.

I did this 20 years ago. My allocator had multiple regions (slabs) that were tuned to specific allocation patterns and lifetimes, with different algorithms for managing block size,…

Compiler vendors have been doing stuff like this (recognizing specific code patterns from common benchmarks) for 30 years, back in the days when there was real competition amongst …

The symbolism implicit in the characters used in APL is lost with J/K/Q and any other ASCII variant. I highly recommend reading Ken Iverson's Turing Award Lecture too.

Certainly not to record the relations or visualize them, but social network analysis certainly falls into the realm of mathematics.

It is. The advert was to notify you that the iTerm 3 beta is available and that it has some cool features. It did not ask for donations. It was purely informational.

Indeed. A better link would have been to http://builtoncement.com/2.6/ which tells you what Cement is immediately. Looks useful if you're a Python developer.

Here are two papers that describe the techniques used by the FDA system (or that were used in the mid-2000's) to find these confusable names. "Automatic identification of confusabl…

Yes, silent TCO. Isn't that what most people mean about TCO when applied to recursion?

> no TCO Neither does Emacs Lisp nor ABCL. Yet they are Lisps by your definition. > different approach about side effects (-> avoid) Though not precluded. You can write Clojure wit…

Lisp != Common Lisp. The very thought that you can cut-n-paste code from one Lisp dialect to another is daft. The author obviously didn't take the time to acquaint themselves with …

I love Common Lisp, and as you say, there are many outstanding libraries that Quicklisp gives you easy access to. ABCL hasn't been "marketed" enough to the Java community, so it ha…

Can someone compare Oberon against Genera, beyond the obvious implementation language and hardware?

I have yet to see a good stylesheet for AsciiDoc's DocBook output for creating a decent PDF. Do you have recommendations? I love AsciiDoc, but am only using it to generate HTML rig…

No, but that's really not the point of the analogy.

"How quaint." -- ClojureScript

If you willingly buy the Fire Phone and let Amazon collect the data, this isn't an "invasion" of your privacy. Rather you have opened the door wide open, set out hor'dourves, and a…

You get an app banned and it doesn't occur to you that maybe you should pull the other apps that couple violate the same nebulous terms? The "I grew up in the 70s/80s and it was co…

I completely agree: I do a lot of printf debugging in exactly the cases you describe. As with everything though it's a tool, and not necessarily the first one to go to.

I started programming in 1982 and became adept at writing my code (especially machine language) out by hand before converting to hex by hand so I could key it into the monitor (thi…

THINK Pascal was doing this on the Mac in the mid 1980s... TP was an amazing piece of engineering given its functionality and the environment it provided.

SharePoint. Our entire Intranet and project management processes are rooted to SharePoint. It may work great in a homogenous Microsoft environment, but Linux and Mac users are scre…

Perhaps I'm just old and tired, but I loathe reading technical papers on a screen, whether it's my LCD monitor, my iPad, or my Kindle. One thing that irks me about the WWW specific…
