I've just added a Windows version too.

I recently discovered https://github.com/weirdNox/emacs-gdb/ . The installation is a bit unconventional compared to the usual Emacs package installation process, but works pretty well.

This recreates the Visual Studio style workflow described in https://twitter.com/pervognsen/status/1098453808651202560 and https://youtu.be/0woxSWjWsb8?t=254

I am in India and I cannot access the site. The DNS resolves to `23.227.131.12` but the server doesn't seem to respond to pings either.

I can access the site through a VPN.

Anyone else facing the same issue? Anyone know what's up with that?

The book can also be found on Amazon but this link seems to be the way to buy the DRM-free version.

Do Cambridge courses not have labs/projects? I looked at the course materials on a few of the courses and couldn't find any. Or are they given out to students separately?

I haven't been able to get my hands on the book, but Edward Sciore's "Database Design and Implementation" is supposed to be such a book.

Part 1 is here: https://samrat.me/posts/2017-11-04-kvstore-linear-hashing/

A course (lightly)based on HtDP is also starting in Coursera in a few days- https://www.coursera.org/course/programdesign. It uses Racket and the first two weeks of videos are already up so you can preview them.

Probably to reduce some friction from the process. They also don't charge a transaction fee(as noted in another comment), so i could see myself using this on my site.

Of course a much useful service would be something like flattr. IIRC, There was some talk about them starting to accept bitcoins but i haven't heard about that lately.

This looks really great. Silly question: is there any way to access localhost from other devices on my WLAN?

Maybe a "painful problems" spreadsheet would be more appropriate.

This reminds me of something Paul Graham called "sitcom startup ideas" in a recent post.

No, I'm watching the 61A videos on Youtube.

I'll need to check out the Javascript based implementation sometime. But it is really annoying that the course is using something that hasn't been updated in ages.

No, I'm using Linux(Arch) so I guess I am on an intended platform. It is on the user contributed repos but the installation didn't work. I tried installing just stk-scheme too but that didn't work either.

I agree. I'm doing the same course and because I couldn't get their implementation of Scheme(ucb-scheme) to work, I'm really out-of-sync with the course.

I'm doing the examples and exercises in Racket.

I think the Python Software Foundation was asking for redesign proposals for the Python site a while ago; so we might see some improvements for the Python site. I don't find the Python site particularly ugly, but I think the docs could improve a lot. Same goes for a lot of other python frameworks that use the default Sphinx template.

> Have you thought about doing this for RSS as well?

I'll consider this idea.

This one- https://twitter.com/magopian/status/239970727300849664

Steve Losh is doing a series about making a roguelike in clojure actually- http://stevelosh.com/blog/2012/07/caves-of-clojure-01/ You might find those useful.

I found your post on Twitter and found it pretty useful, mostly because I'm reading the same book as you are(Clojure Programming) and was having some difficulty groking this program. Your post really helped.

There is a typo in line 8, I think it should have been (range h).

I'm not really much experienced, but I've played around with Noir and its really similar to Flask. You could try out Compojure too, on which Noir is based(even more minimalistic).

Right now, I'm following some Noir tutorials here: http://yogthos.net/

That'd be awesome. How do we go about this? Should I email you?

I'm using Github Pages to host my site, so web space is not a problem.

Regarding the online payment, a card from a bank in Nepal would not be able to purchase anything online. Of course a credit card from a bank in another country would work in Nepal, but I don't possess one.

I got one too, but worked after I reloaded the page

So, is this Google's answer to Siri?

Does Github's support for Jekyll mean that Github automatically "publishes" a blog post? I'm using something similar(Pelican), and I know I can't publish a post using Prose only, is that different for Jekyll sites?

I'm really hoping someone makes something similar to this for Vim.

Does this have a file size limit? I'm pretty sure dropbox's API has a 300MB limit.

Am I the only one who finds the InfoQ website too cluttered. I'd much rather watch this on Youtube.

EDIT- I just noticed that I accidentally typed out "first programming language", what I really meant to type was "first functional programming language". Sorry, for the confusion.

I'm so sorry- that was supposed to be "first functional programming language". (I'm already doing some programming in Python)
