The thing I hate the most about Fennel is when you go back to Clojure and type `print` rather than `println`.

Optics. That's the true name of the evil overlord. Government cares about "looking" like they are doing the right thing. Because they want to get public support. Then there is corruption. But I will say that's a secondar

There is something I am missing here. How does your mental model change that much from where the operator goes? Can't you put node to right of a column of children? Like you would do on a piecewise function. I am dislexic, maybe that&#

I never said PRN is simpler. It is just as hard as infix. I do not like PNR any better or worse. It takes me about 5 minutes to switch from lisps to others and back. I just put the parens in the wrong place a couple of times and I am done.

Familiarity is a characteristic of the agent. Intuitiveness/duficult is of the object.

Some humans dislike RPN. I am yet to find whether they really dislike or just find it unfamiliar. I am convinced that unfamiliar gets conflated with unintuitive and hard all the time.

I ate two bananas before my motorcycle test for their placebo effects to calm nerves. Cool as a cucumber I passed without a jitter on the throttle. It's anect-data-l. I know.

A) I would say lisps are rather boring. Clojure, one of the most recent ones hasn't changed in 15 years. B) most systems are built in C, Java, Python. So no wonder most complex systems are written in those.

I think PG considered competitors hiring Python programers as "dangerous" or something like that.

Efficiency is rewarded by consumer buying (voting with money) efficiently produced products. It's not some abstract evil ideal that drives the market. It's people doing purchases. Now, good markets need good (perfect to be precise

There is very little spec logic. It looks a lot like type declarations in typed languages. It's usually outside the scope of functions, since you are likely going to want to reuse those declarations. For example, you can use spec to ge

Have you tried playing with tilesets? I feel they make the experience easier on the eyes.

As far as I understand, and I don't understand much. Also I am not endorsing vanden Bossche because I don't understand much. Furthermore, just as everyone else, he is just trying to sell his vaccine over others'. The issue is

That's easy, not simple. I am not saying PHP is not simple.

I worked through this book and I think is a fine way to get your feet wet with C. When I learn a new language, I like learning something else in the way, because language learning tends to be samey once you have gone through a couple. This

Maybe in your corner of the EU that's true. In mine GDPR is well regarded as joke.

Working on a financial institution as a forecaster, I once inherited an excel spreadsheet that took 3 hours to open. It was full of bugs. At one point it mixed the Swiss franc and the Argentinian peso and that was sold to clients. That woul

Oh, I was just riffing on the parent comment. I've had a look at your tool and I think is great. It greatly complements Lingua Latina and it is an essential tool for someone going through the traditional path of learning latin. I wish

I do not own latine disco. I did work through exercitia latina I, and it is great! And yes, Roma Aeterna is the second book. But you only need familia romana. Everything else is cherry on top, extremely useful if you want to write latin and

I think Lingua Latina is an amazing book! PSA: you only need the first book. The second is pretty much a reader. It is still great, specially if you are interested in Classics. If you are interested in reading the Vulgate Bible or medieval

Correct pronunciation is rather relevant for your first point, if you are trying to read poetry. Both latin and classical greek poetry has a "rhythm" based on the pronunciation of each syllable. In latin you won't get the rh

I am not sure, and happy to be corrected, but I think this article is so vague, that it must be gpt-3 writing. But hey! I said I wasn't sure.

> Can I steal the feudalism idea? I would be honored. Other thing most people don't understand is that unpaid overtime is actually tax fraud. I have never seen paid overtime in Spain. I read someone in HN saying she got paid overtim

While I wholeheartedly agree with you, I think we should be careful with this discourse. Rather than increases in productivity, increases in production should be emphasized. And yes, you cannot increase labor production without an increase

My feeling is: spanish business is a somewhat feudal system. I do not believe that business owners are trying to maximize the efficacy of their resources. If it were so, this kind of proposals would be accepted by the business community, gi

You should check current research on work week reduction. It actually indicates workers increase weekly production. Yes, production, not productivity. There is this thing called stress, burnout... That decreases production. Less work usuall
