Have you thought about using the hammond distance, instead of the array? It should give you the same answer in 3 CPU instructions on registers instead of 2 array lookups and arithmetic in ram. XOR, hammond weight/bitcount and and equal

The fie is huge because it seems that animations were converted to multiple PDF pages. So page count is not a useful metric for presentation progression and information amount.

Yes, I also dug into its codebase. Have you actually used Self for example?

LT didn't bring any new inventions, emacs, self, morphic, CL, they've all done some aspect of it 30 years earlier. LT has shown however that you can make a load of money of kickstarter without delivering a product, but people will

It's good that LT is finally acknowledged to have failed as "the uber clojure IDE". It's architecture is horrible, and its catering too much to other languages. Once it's dead the space it frees up can be filled aga

I really don't see the advantage of trying to sell clojure and emacs as a package, it just alienates a lot of potential newcomers. Sadly almost every Clojure tutorial I've seen so far does this. Most tutorials for other programmin

Why though? Cursive has a working debugger while Emacs doesn't. Emacs has a lot of stuff outside the realm of Clojure, like irc mail and orgmode, but Cursive really is the more advanced Clojure environment. Even @dnolen seems to have s

I agree 100% with you. Rigidity is something you don't want, but this is something entirely different. ROS serialisation format is basically a C++ struct that gets send over the wire. You specify your .msg definition, tell the (horribl

Just do public foo(Bar bar) { bar = baz(bar); //Lots (10+ lines) of code return finishProcess(bar); //Note, this should have been updatedBar. } nothing prevents you from reusing the vari

by ticking 12y ago
I think you got immutability and single side assignment mixed up. If foo is immutable there is no harm if something else tries to manipulate it because it will just derive a new data-structure.

by ticking 12y ago
The current serialisation code needs to die, and be replaced with something usable and already existing, e.g. zeromq + msgpack. There are currently horrible bugs in the very foundation of ROS, the spec of the serialisation format and its ha

With Unicode these predefined functions have to be large and complex. You won't be able to use them on embedded systems for example.

Unicode is notoriously tricky to implement, there have been bugs where users could take over others accounts by choosing a different unicode representation of the same string. I'd much rather have something that works and is simple. Th

Even though I'm not a native english speaker and couldn't write my name in ASCI, I really despise Unicode. Its broken technically and a setback socially. Unicode itself is such a unfathomably huge project that it's impossible

TL;DR The only problem is that ISPs love to oversell their capacities. And important services don't need that much bandwidth. NN has nothing to do with this. The "911 calls should not be interrupted by torrents" is such a loa
