Another proposal specifies certain legacy RegExp features, such as the RegExp.prototype.compile method and the static properties from RegExp.$1 to RegExp.$9. Although these features are deprecated, unfortunately they cannot be removed from

Writing code, not strings, means you can do everything to it that you can do to code. You can type check code. You can lint it. You can optimize it, compile it, validate it, syntax highlight it, format it with tools like Prettier, tree sha

This is not correct. I have sent many which have gone unanswered. I can show them if you'd like. Dan answers if he likes you. It's as simple as that. If he doesn't, he either filters your emails and never sees them, or refuse

Hah. Thank you for finding that. Welp. It's identical. I even tried to defend the current link with "Well, some cool things can happen when you hook up a UI to a shader..." but the UI doesn't even do anything except turn

When your site grows large and you move it to an hosted service, or wants to point it to an Web Application Firewall or a DDoS mitigator, you might want to use a CNAME type record, to point the hostname to another flexible hostname that th

If anyone wants to implement this, I believe you can do so in Lumen Lisp: https://docs.ycombinator.lol/ In particular, macros like https://imgur.com/C4NL0OB are pretty effortless to write.

Your brain is applying far more interpretation to color than people are consciously aware of. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jantic/DeOldify/master/res... His face is arguably too red. But on average it’s

Eh, I think I disagree. If a story is good for HN, it doesn't matter where it came from or who posted it, or whether it was a bot. That fact is true independently of any other consideration.

No need to guess. The code is public, and (judging by firsthand experience) they seem to be using a similar if not identical version: https://github.com/arclanguage/anarki/blob/f01d3f9c661eed055... New users

Meanwhile, I ported Arc to JS: https://imgur.com/0Ba0NZN If LN turns into anything, it'll be because of Lisp, not in spite of it. It really doesn't matter that the world is phobic to it when you alone are the blac

It's not really fair to say that someone's behavior in 2018 is determined by who they were in 2005. No atom in their body is even the same. (Supposedly.)

I've been studying this for the past day. I just wanted to say: thank you. This is the most helpful and relevant resource for my work that I've come across in some time. I really appreciate that you took the time to send me this.

I am aware you feel these comments are abusive. But you are acting so cartoonishly evil in this instance – banning a 12-year member of HN for 3 months solely for asking why he was rate limited – that someone needs to stand up to you. It’s

(make-vector length 0) Interesting. That threw me off. I overlooked the previous paragraph: In Emacs Lisp, an obarray is actually a vector. Each element of the vector is a bucket; its value is either an interned symbol whose name hashes

I actually need to do this for my lisp. Do you know if that class is available online? I only found things like http://mullr.github.io/micrologic/literate.html which doesn’t seem to do type checking.

This isn’t true. Emacs interns strings in a global obarray, which is a simple array with linear search. I hear emacs scales well.

While about 10% of people think it's cool that I quit my job and am just flying by the seat of my pants, the other 90% hear that I'm unemployed and treat me like a pariah. The trick for getting around this is to form an LLC and

I will fritter away my sabbatical, not accomplish much and end up pretty much at the same point (but with less money). The best part of doing this myself was to become comfortable with this. At the end of it, you feel more free than most

It's a bad idea to shut down a service that hundreds of thousands of people find useful due to theoretical reasons. People have volunteered to maintain the service. Why not let them?

When you respond like this, you discourage comments like the parent from being posted to HN. It would be fine if your point was reasonable. But it's not. It's little more than an excuse to hate on Facebook.

Are you sure Arc hasn’t caught on? After all, we’re submitting comments via Arc. Some of the best work in history was done because the creator wanted it themselves. Even if no one else uses it, the work speaks for itself. Arc also played a

Say what you will about that little heartless douchebag There's no reason to couch your comment like this. He's not a heartless douchebag, and the claims of him causing medicine shortages were greatly exaggerated.
