Interesting view. Is this better than a "let it break" approach?

Link rot already claims N% of websites per year. I wonder if cleaning up APIs like this one would increase N noticeably.

Both intellij and emacs do all of these things for Vue code. That seems to cover >90% of developers' tooling needs.

Also, code itself is a string. Code is data.

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 refuses to answer them.

You are one data point. Please don't extrapolate it to those of us who have tried for months to get answers to specific questions.

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 the rain off and on.

There's lightning too in that other one! That's so cool.

Now, if your website is hosted at the origin (“example.com”), you can’t do that. But there is no issue with the “www” hostname being a CNAME record. So if you want any scaling flexibility, now or in the future, you should go with the www hostname from the beginning.

Granted, his blog was knocked offline by HN. But would a CNAME have saved their Wordpress site?

His face is arguably too red. But on average it’s fine. (Amusing: is this comment correct, or unconsciously biased by the lack of knowledge of what native Americans actually look like? I admit the latter is possible.)

Humans interpret colors thanks to context. When you strip away context, it’s easy to come up with things that fool you. (Optical illusions are the limit case of this.)

See DaVinci’s journals on color. They are worth studying, and most entries are so short they may as well be tweets. http://www.sacred-texts.com/aor/dv/dvs005.htm

New users can submit up to 2 stories every 3 hours. Bad users can submit up to 1 story every 3 hours.

Looks like the bot is submitting at precisely that limit, but the timestamps aren't quite accurate enough. Some interested user could check the API to get the full times.

I wish there were some way to contact the bot author. I want to see the code. It's no small feat to write an effective bot.

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 blacksmith.

One could argue "See? It's running in JS. Doesn't that mean Lisp is useless?"

Maybe. But macros are a thing. And when you can generate React on the fly, without having to make a class for every single thing you want to do, the power disparity starts becoming very apparent.

There are interesting Lisp codebases, but you have to dig for them. Abuse (a game engine) comes to mind. http://abuse.zoy.org/browser/abuse/trunk/data/lisp

And what other language could let you add type inference with relatively little effort? https://web.archive.org/web/20070610012057/http://www.cs.ind...

No atom in their body is even the same. (Supposedly.)

Best value of any tool I've ever used. It does literally everything you asked. I didn't even know it checked SSL expiry till it pinged me.

I really appreciate that you took the time to send me this.

It’s true that I demanded an answer from you. But that was because your original decision to issue a rate limit was an overreaction. My comments in that thread were not significantly different from the various other discussions that people have on a daily basis about social issues.

You feel that it’s abusive to highlight this decision and continue to call attention to it. I feel it’s the only recourse left. I have tried for a very, very long time to come to some kind of understanding with you.

But the reason I’m doing this isn’t personal. It’s because I care about this community and am afraid of what you’re forcing it to become. From the recent “What do you hate about HN?” thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18184914):

I’ve been here for awhile (just about eight years), and the single biggest change I’ve noticed is the increasing presence of what I’ll call a “bourgeois tech monoculture.” This place used to be weirder, with more obscure links and discussions filled with academics and hackers. If you search the older archives, there are some really incredible conversations. Now it mostly seems to be nytimes articles commented on by upper-middle class engineers.

Here’s another: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18185456

I miss Michael O. Church. Not that I always agreed with him, but he was really interesting, and his comments consistently made me think about my own biases and opinions in ways few others ever have.

I noticed when you referred pejoratively to yummyfajitas as “Socrates”. I didn’t know him, but I respected his writing. And he didn’t leave until you personally made him feel unwelcome. In fact, he left immediately after: https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=yummyfajitas

You’ve become what pg calls a suit: image over substance; authority over reason.

But your actions go far deeper than most people know, or understand. People still do not understand that you personally flag (and therefore instantly kill) many comments per day. They believe users do this, not you acting alone. And anyone who dares disagree with you is silenced, one way or another.

I don’t know if you’ve been hunting trolls for so long that all you see are trolls, everywhere you look. All I know is that people are starting to notice.

Most attempts to stand up to authority fail: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_peasant_revolts#Chrono...

I regret that mine might too. But my personal desire to participate in the site is overruled by the greater desire to see this community protected from your purge of unpopular opinion.

If you truly believe this is abusive, we’ll have to agree to disagree. History’s judgement will last longer than yours.

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 to that bucket, or 0 if the bucket is empty. Each interned symbol has an internal link (invisible to the user) to the next symbol in the bucket. Because these links are invisible, there is no way to find all the symbols in an obarray except using mapatoms (below). The order of symbols in a bucket is not significant.

Thanks!

which doesn’t seem to do type checking.
