Like I told the other moron, I was homeless, on my own early, and an alcoholic. You're making excuses for people that aren't proactive. I'm not disparaging the poor, I was poor for the majaority of my life, I'm disparagi

I'm speaking from three years of homelessness after being independent and nearly homeless at 17 and recovering from several years of alcohol abuse. Don't assume, because it only confirms that you don't know what you're t

You're absolutely right, but in the scientific autismverse, this is a very hot topic, and there are often flame wars and arguments. This is the equivalent of a psychologist using tabs instead of spaces. We all know what you and I meant

I didn't diagnose anything. Don't take my personal opinion and make it accountable to a professional one. I'm not a doctor. But before doing finance I used to do some basic tutoring and teachers assistant stuff for a place fi

That's not practical, the high sea can be incredibly dangerous, even with modern nautical technology. Most tech out there is informational, there's very little you can actually do if the ocean decides to throw a tantrum. Also, shi

Guix uses it extensively. I'm away from a computer now but I'm sure there are some gifted minds working on it. Andy Wingo, others. And anyways, isn't that the case with most software? HN loves APL, but there's only a few

It was time ten years ago. Autism is one of the most complex moving-parts mental disorders that I know of. I'm speaking about kids mainly, because that's what I'm familiar with, but some kids have mood swings and some don&#x2

R7RS large is underway now! CL also has unhygienic macros, non-lispy loop grossness, lots of cruft, lots of poorly named functions that are named two different ways in two different places, and generally reeks of the 70s. Scheme actually tr

Gosh, I want to spend some time with rust and ggez, and then some guy shows me this awesome haxe engine! I hadnt seen this! That's a pretty high-powered kit though, it's got console support, it's got volumetric lighting, all

But you knew what I meant. In hindsight I should've clarified that my opinion originates from a layman. I am not a doctor or psychiatrist or anything of the sort. Thanks for the correction!

I don't understand what you're asking. Python is completely unlike scheme. The type situation irks me because I do ocaml for a living, so I rely on the type system a lot. Scheme reminds me of a more seductive flavor of FP, though

I love that GNU loves Guile. There are few Scheme implementations as well polished as guile is, and what a breath of fresh air it can be to sit down to some '() stew after a few rough weeks of spreadsheet hell at work. Might be just me

I hope rust community gets more interested in openfl. There's some good libraries already, opengl support, vulkan, there's ggez which mimics the LOVE api, but OpenFL is a fully equipped kitchen sink that a lot of multimedia develo

Most of these patients are likely exhibiting some spectrum of antisocial behavior, which means staying indoors or generally away from other people. I don't think it's as interesting as it seems. I'm rather certain there'

No, but CERN Is known to be careful with their PR. Presumably, and this is just my intuition speaking, a big enough cluster of computers would solve this, but they're taking an opportunity to experiment with different techniques and me

Isn't that what a line of credit is? Or a debit card? It's got a history of spending, it's very hard to double spend, and its completely traceable? Sometimes I think fed has learned from Bitcoin that they don't trust us

Maybe not as an individual, but as a society or as a species, there are few absolutes for us to pursue. History and Math are the only absolutes we really have. What I'm meaning to say is its a righteous goal compared to pursuing art or

Thanks for these! Proton is interesting, I think the space has a lot of potential. I'm concerned that someday html might be the standard for gui system markups, that could go wrong easily. Part of my perspective on this, maybe yours as

So what electron developers appreciate is an easily accessible markup+canvas? Text editors are a great example, they're very difficult to get right. I wonder why more desktop GUI platforms aren't equipped with something similar to

I understand your frustration, but in a world with a dozen different languages to choose from for cross platform native desktop apps, there's very rarely a case to be made for electron even existing. I'm not trying to prove your p

I found it online, looks fascinating! Thanks so much! That's the best kind of book to read, the kind someone wrote after reading a bunch of other books.

The language in GEB can be a bit much, but I find it to be a consistently effective took for opening someone's eyes to the vast universe of computer science. There should be a GEB for Hackers or something like that, though. Accessibili

Is it frustrating answering these types of questions? If I was a plumber, I'd get tired of people complaining about their WiFi not working. That must be a nice benefit of being part of a large corporation is being somewhat more delinea

That's not so long though, in the scheme of things. Especially if the computer was very fast. I read this book Artemis by Andy Weir recently (the guy who wrote the Martian) and it mentioned a moon Internet, and it was like 8 seconds aw

I know it was off the track of the article, I was gravitating to the more interesting idea. Thanks for your time!

I certainly disagree that GEB was pretentious. For beings that can understand information, surely computation is the highest possible goal. To that end, a certain seriousness and prestige is available when referring to CS. We all have our o

But what if there was a way to write algorithms that can't be expressed with a von Neumann architecture? Do you know where I can read about what categories of biocomputation there are? Is there a biological Turing machine that's e

Electron will still use too much RAM though... /s This is cool. It makes me wonder how big a computer can be. If bounded by the speed of light, could a planet-sized computer ever make any sense?
