Author here. Oh. HN frontpage. That's cool I guess. Well I have plans for today, so I'm sorry that I won't be sitting here defending my article. However if you hit me up on twitter at the link at the bottom or email me at my

Author here. Holy cow. Thanks for all the kind words guys! I'm primarily a back end dev interested in hardware, compilers and operating systems. As a long time HN reader I can't begin to express how amazing it is that a my first &

Author here. After maintaining a blog built around a "real" CMS, and a "real" CMS that I built myself, I'll say that my existing blog is built atop Jekyll and Git, the same stack I chose for Grimoire. It's simp

Author here. I'm definitely aware that there are many pitfalls to Clojure than just the standard library docs. There's an open issue for adding a syntax guide and a macro guide, I'd be delighted to add a destructuring guide.

Author here: It's funny that you say this because as of right now there is only one example on Grimoire that isn't on Clojuredocs :P

I'm sure that adding a small disk with the source code to the warhead would be an acceptable and valued solution.

When the risk of of obtaining content by illegal means is not outweighed by the cost of doing so by legal means. If I can pay USD 1 or Ɖ1500 or some other small amount to watch a movie not listed on Netflix instantly I would gladly do so. T

Correct, however if this "exact runtime bound" is what you are going for, then please use the correct notation. T(N) = 2N would be legitimate, as would \Theta(N) = 2N. Saying that O(F(N)) = 2N is misleading because the definition

Totally agreed, unfortuantely however this introduces significant constraints in the parent/child/sibling insertion and navigation model.

No. That would defeat the entire user model, which is purpsoefully derived from Bitcoin's anonymity structure.

Writing this as a now ex-employee, I'm sure that our IP will live on. We had some really neat stuff in the pipeline, and I look forwards to seeing it hit the big time in the next few years. Whether Calxeda proper will be acquired or wh

Arguably, but the D-21 drone [1] was... a mess & a failure. Line Of Sight radio control was the only real option. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_D-21

Not only are we to cheep to fly fast but we've also banned supersonic flight over most "civilized" land masses. There are only three or so US mainland airbases where it is legal to break mach 1 due to the fact that the voting public doesn't

Context: At this point in history, the USA and USSR had aircraft fleets on constant patrol with tanker resupply. The concept was to simultaneously shorten the response time of strategic nuclear forces by having them "idle" nearer the target

Ars gives the SKIF-DM's designers more credit than they deserve. Gorbechev didn't want a Soviet SDI program and was highly critical of the military's existing research efforts in that direction [1] details at great (and I think facinating l

bah just as I was finishing my register allocator... My Firefox history indicates that I have read the Mjolnir page before, but I don't recall why I didn't use it at the time. Taking another look :-P. Thanks for the link!

I can't stress the C++ api part of this enough. At the moment I'm building a Pascal compiler in Clojure for course work and when the time came to do byte code generation the first thing I looked to was the LLVM infrastructure both for ease

Speaking as a Lisper, I have to admit that this is an open question for me. On the one hand, the needs of parallel systems and state management offered by functional languages stands to bring Lisps (Clojure, Common Lisp etc) and other langu

I have to chime in and agree with this approach. When I built my blog, one of my "must-have" features was a comment system free of 3rd parties such as Reddit and FB. After some soul-searching and an honest look at my traffic logs I decided
