Wow, thanks for mentioning that. I am used to being impressed by people on here, but the idea that he is this talented and blind is beyond my comprehension. Man I suck as a programmer; I complain about every little thing and barely ever p

Hopefully they introduce namespaces (like matriona) and the type system of strongtalk with gradual typing. edit: just realized this was an april fools :(

I remember reading somewhere that there is funding/support from China. I can't find any support for that. I stumbled upon this site in my search though http://red.reb4.me/

What's the difference between 'determines' and 'influences'? I mean isn't that just a sliding scale? If a concept is incredibly difficult to formulate in a given language, could it not be said that the language

Do you have to manipulate text? Perl is probably better than C for that. Do you have to write a program that operates on lists? Lisp probably is better than Java. Do you have to write a formal proof? Coq is probably better than Python. Do y

Where is it written that programming languages can't support the theory of linguistic relativity?

Are you kidding me? Are you claiming the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis isn't true on ycombinator ? This is a forum famous for talking about blub languages and lisp. And if it's true for artificial languages, that's a strong indicat

I don't mean to imply that I've done this (aside from copypasting from that wikibook). I just think that understanding why it's easy to do this for lisp is important.

Does anyone know of an easy way to interact with performance monitor counters in Linux? I've been reading stuff by Brendan Gregg about DTrace and the importance of PMCs, and it made it sound like Linux doesn't have the equivalent.

I agree entirely with that.

The only thing you need to do to understand lisp's entrancement is to write an interpreter for it, and in doing so you'll see why it's easier to write a lisp interpreter than it is for any other language. All you need to unde

As the paper notes, this is a different perspective on generative adversarial networks: Goodfellow et al. (2014) proposed generative adversarial nets (GANs). GANs, while independently invented, are essentially based on the same idea
