Doesn't this only encrypt the first line of input? I thought the idea was to generate a pad-file of equal length to the whole file. (with-open-file (input input-path) (with-open-file (pad pad-path) (setq input-buffe

You could coalesce the other courses. Day1: Course1 Day2: Course2 Day3: Course3 Day4: Course1 etc,...

Besides those already mentioned, there's Dylan, which was originally S-expression based before switching to it's Wirth-style syntax.

Not certain, but the writing style is similar to Orwell's 1984.

The way I speak... Pleased to meet you. I am an active sporty guy and 'I play on the soccer team'. Also, the last variation, would be 'I play at The Soccer Team'. Landmarks are (usually) capitalized.

I do not see how creating a doll with a more regular dimensioned body will make boys want to play with them more.

I imagine that the names for for/list and its counterpart came from the scheme let and let*, which are parallel and sequential respectively.

I think he may be thinking of more traditional forms of games. Soccer, Lacrosse, etc.

I always figured that this was because a developer ran into a situation where the concept was naively applied and it ended up biting him. So, instead of staying quiet, he let people know the problems he ran into so that others don't get bit

Isn't libc just a set of libraries and therefore not considered a runtime environment? C does have a small runtime environment, but I'd say it's the existence of the function call stack, as well as the on_exit system that's built into the

Instead of angled_brackets<> they should probably try to go with D's style of templates[1], which uses an operater !, to signify its use. Also, I personally believe that camel case for type names would be a net loss; the underscore

He needs 'lit' so dcpu_opr() can uniformly return a pointer for all results, including literal values.

Instead of using dcpu.skip, why not just (d->pc += !res)? This way you don't have to call dcpu_step() again before getting to the next instruction and more accurately follow the way the hardware would likely work.

Keeping silent is a form of a white lie. If it causes trouble, chances are it is something that must be said in order to hold on to your supposed "honesty". The reason white lies exist to keep from causing trouble. It is not a bad thing.

Sadly, searching for "make it rain" does not produce the desired results.

I'd argue that broken analogies are worth mentioning. They do not change the caliber of the point being made by the orginal author, but it is worthwhile to bring it to their attention so that they may fix it later.

"Players don't finish games because they get bored...It was boring...Quests were simple and boring...It might have gotten better, but I'll never know because I got bored..." You're kind of sending mixed messages here. You say it's not bored

Judging by the text of the hint you gave us, I believe it's trying to make you type: var six = numbers[2] I am not sure where the hangup is, considering I just copy-pasted that from two parts of the hint. Have they described arrays

I agree, it looks like :i-o is the unfortunate result of the generic hyphenation-to-capital-letter routine he has. IO should probably be a special case (:io).

I don't think it's explicitly wrong; I've seen both fib(0) = 1 and fib(0) = 0 before. Wikipedia shows: By definition, the first two Fibonacci numbers are 0 and 1, and each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two. Some s

I'd imagine it's pretty common, especially if you consider CSS, HTML and Javascript different languages. Personally, I use PL/X, and z/Assembly daily, with REXX thrown in every now and then.

Yes, but what's happening in soccer right now, is that the dealer saw a full house, but decided to only count it as a high-card 5.

I've always been a fan of array-based programming languages, but I feel like that most popular ones (J, K) are needlessly unreadable. I discovered Nial a while ago while researching array-based programming languages and found that it was pr
