  1. RT @AynRandCenter: "No Environmental Footprint = No Life" a video op/ed http://bit.ly/6RPa7V #climategate #globalwarming #greenreligion ...
  2. Using a mac is like doing category theory. Everything works in the obvious way, which is totally cryptic to the uninitiated.
  3. Pretty sure Charlie Mopps didn't invent coffee, but whoever did, bless'im. After Aristotle, he's the most important person who ever lived.
  4. @Kiddi The analogy goes further. String Theory is invalid (not even false). I suspect that the theory of best phone deals is invalid too.
  5. @jmshoffs0812 Java uses actor concurrency too. http://tinyurl.com/5ml7y2
  6. Just now noticing that many people tend to move their computer mouse with their full arm, like they're operating a bomber plane.
  7. Entirely fascinated by O/I, the comonadic dual of I/O.
  8. RT @EdgarSanchez: "If I was going to do Ruby again now, I'd probably add more functional features and laziness", Matz (via @delitescere ...
  9. I'm not talking fast, you're just listening slowly.
  10. Attending Keith Lockitch's lecture at UT tomorrow. "The Real Goal of the Green Climate Crusade". Should be good. Enviro-crazies welcome.
  11. @psnively I'm thinking "too simple", but willing to be convinced that the structural typing can compensate.
  12. Pleased with #golang for excluding the useless complexity of "inheritance".
  13. @cgbystrom Scala doesn't come standard with sane concurrency. I'd still want Akka or Scalaz.
  14. @cgbystrom Curry here http://digg.com/u1GNdp and sane concurrency here http://digg.com/u1GNdt. Put them together for: http://digg.com/u1GNe2
  15. @thecodeproject This word "functor"... I do not think it means what you think it means.
  16. @heenotay welcome
  17. @rands Corollary: Bad news does not get better with age.
  18. @djspiewak Thanks! Refedined Symbol.to_proc to take a block, then a partial application that takes a block and passes it on. Point-free FTW.
  19. @djspiewak I can turn a method foo into a function with :foo.to_proc. But not sure how to handle the case when foo expects a block.
  20. @djspiewak Specifically, I want to take a method that expects a block, and turn it into a proc that expects a proc.
