Programming Clojure
·
· Score: 1
My biggest problem with the book was that it doesn't explain what exactly the problem is that clojure solves. (Or attempts to solve.)
Why shouldn't I stick with one of the already existing functional languages for functional programming? Why shouldn't I stick with Java (or any of the other JVM-languages) if I need access to the reams of Java classes that already exist? Why not use Erlang if you're thread-paranoid? And so on. Nothing wrong with a new shiny language, but please explain why it is better than those that came before.

But that's not how the world works, alas. An example would be taxing pet owners. The responsible ones who spay/neuter and give rabies shots to their pets are slammed with a tax. Thus the irresponsible pet owners are "rewarded". Does society want larger numbers irresponsible pet owners? Probably not. But it wants the revenue, and if there are some unintended consequences then so be it.
There was Harappa and Mohenjo Daro in the Indus valley, then the Egyptians, then the Mayans. Is it just coincidence that advanced cultures tend to go under within a couple of centuries after they invent plumbing? If so, are we doomed?
This product seems to solve two hacking problems in one fell swoop. First, it's well known that social engineering is time consuming. Secondly, once you have your hands on somebody else's data it's tedious to figure out which bits are the good ones.
With OpenDLP it's left to the user to set up a rudimentary botnet and then identify the juicy parts through a regex. Brilliant!
OK it might not be so, but nothing on the project website suggests it isn't. We'll know for sure only if the next release automates the transfer of bank info to Nigeria.
"Largely European institution"???? Guess it depends entirely on how you define "Europe": The largest Catholic populations in the world are Brazil, Mexico, USA and the Philippines.
A reasonable assumption, but then again in Iraq and Afghanistan it's the cobbled-together home brew bombs that have caused the greatest damage to the world's most powerful military apparatus. Nobody expected this to be the case. And it would have been reasonable to say that they "should have [had] the defenses" - but they didn't. So who knows for sure until it's put to the test?
Information has a shelf life: Most of the stuff on anybody's computer is really uninteresting, even to the owner of the information, and becomes more uninteresting as time passes.
Add to that the fact that a lot of the contents of any given person's computer is the same as those of everybody elses. (E.g. how many copies of windows and word would be saving if this practice was to be widespread? How many viagra and cheap mortgage offers in the junk folder of the email program?)
OK, so some of it may be historically or anthropologically interesting for coming generations, but most of it will be as disappointing as those clay tablets enumerating how many sacks of grain somebody owned 3,000 years ago. Once the challenge of cuneiform script was overcome the actual data was a big yawn. Any reason to think Rushdie's notes will be any different?
Somebody will object that this method will preserve the programs etc needed to "decode" Rushdie's stuff in the future in case the programs are lost - but what happens if the emulation technology is lost?
Because if they had found something they would have been heroes. Turns out they foudn diddly squat, so now they want your help to avoid looking like tards.
Redundant answer? Hell yeah. After all the reason for their behavior is so fundamentally human that the very fact you're asking makes me wonder whether YOU are... So let's hear it: Which galaxy are you really from, Pat?
This whole mess is just sad commentary on how incredibly poor the state of the indie film industry really is. Call it piracy or whatever, what you're seeing is market forces in play: Consumers are making a clear statement that they are not willing to pay for the current indie offerings. We've traveled a long, long way from the glory days of the early Sundance festivals.

So by that token it would make more sense to ban cell phone use by passengers in a car than by the driver?
Your computer is at risk!

640 billion people? I suppose new estimates say Earth's population is larger than once believed...
Erlang anyone?
There was Harappa and Mohenjo Daro in the Indus valley, then the Egyptians, then the Mayans. Is it just coincidence that advanced cultures tend to go under within a couple of centuries after they invent plumbing? If so, are we doomed?
Tried it but was really put off by the device's ability to wreck a nice beach...

At the risk of being assholish: Perhaps we can stop now?
That's about the file size of a single 15 mm by 15 mm digitized microscopy slide - so no it doesn't. It's just you.

Senator Kennedy didn't want to see the turbines in HIS view. Now that he has went to Hell progress will be rapid.
Not for everyone: By the same token geothermal energy is doomed...

Should we really consider loving "things"?
Yes: Boobies.
Congratulations, you just passed the Turing test! If I had mod points I'd give them all to you. BTW where do you browse /. at home or at work?

Surplus value? And here I always thought that capital + labor = startup company...
Doesn't work: We tried that, but as we were counting we all of a sudden ended up with -32,768 votes. Go figure.
It's an outrage! What is the world coming to? Next they'll block gopher and archie and uucp!

A recent development at slashdot: quite obviously they've changed the rules so that "stuff that matters" is no longer a requirement.
