They will always have the cream of the crop. It's not comparable to a Cal state.

I'll make an argument that has nothing to do with the quality of disney's entertainment or disney's ability to give value to your child in the form of happiness/lessons. Being a human being is a social experience. If all

The cost of software (which is essentially just information) vs what people will pay for is fucking mindblowing.

Did you think of that on your own? God I feel dumb. (I like being made to feel dumb) I googled it and didn't get that answer. I guess remembering ST can be a street or saint is a good rule.

You're amazing. I hope you're given more power than you already have.

I don't know what that is (tried googling it), but it doesn't look like it's doing the same thing as let.

The blog post has tremendous value to the right audience, no doubt about that. But it's worse than worthless for its actual target audience because the article makes those people feel like they're supposed to get it, and they prob

I'm sorry to say that I completely agree. As a "here's how you do X in javascript" this is a great post. However, the conclusion clearly shows that this post was not aimed at people who already know how to use map and re

I feel like comparing Racket to Common Lisp is an insult to all of the people who worked on Common Lisp. I don't think the makers of Racket would have the hubris to compare their work to that of the authors of Common Lisp.

Prefix notation is a problem because nothing beats the familiarity of: x = 10 But prefix notation is superior. You don't have to invent an order of operations out of thin air. All your functions take several arguments, not jus

Perl 6 has macros: Copied from: https://perl6advent.wordpress.com/2012/12/23/day-23-macros/ macro checkpoint { my $i = ++(state $n); quasi { say "CHECKPOINT $i"; } }

No they don't. A macro just takes code and returns code.

by such_a_casual 9y ago
Lisp macros do not rely on S-expressions. They rely on the fact that arguments are not evaluated, the code is passed in raw to the function, and then the code is replaced by the result of the function. If macros existed in Python for exampl

Honestly, this is an issue with having absolutely terrible browsers. This sort of thing should be easy to do without having to know javascript. The user just has so little power with the user interface they're given for interacting wit

It's pretty trivial to add macros to any language. The only thing that separates a macro from a regular function is time. In a normal function, the parameters are evaluated before being sent to the function. In a macro, the function is

Only children think that making X against the rules makes X go away. Regulation and first world health care (ie free health care) are some steps you can take to address the problem. Making addicts criminals shows irresponsibly poor leadersh

Just in case anyone interested in Lisp reads this, Lisp (short for Common Lisp) is not a functional language. You can write imperative programs. You can write object oriented programs. You can write functional programs. You can write progra

There's 450 grams in a pound. 225/450 = $0.50/gram. But that number and mine is nonsense. I was being generous in order not to shock anyone. Look up the price to grow crops like corn, cotton, etc. It's < $500/acr
