You should submit this to r/clojure :-)

Re: Meet Another Judge Who Doesn’t Understand Commas

It might be that my command of the English language is not adequate, but I cannot make sense of this passage "Note that there’s no basis for concluding that the modifier modified both elements of the first phrase, instead of the entire phrase."

I har helt glemt kompensation til runeristerne - deres forretning lider også frygteligt under brugen af nymodens pjat som pen og papir. Eller hvad med telefgrafisterne, de skal da også have et tilskud.

Re: New! First Draft of My Categories-of-Contract-Language “Quick Reference”

maacl — Thu, 02 Feb 2017 10:39:32 -0000

OK. If you want to use it as a handout too, I think you should consider a landscape version perhaps with a notes column? By the way full stops appear to be missing in a number of the entries in the Context column.

Great stuff Ken. How would this look in landscape? Especially the "Context" column is hard to read because it is so narrow.

See here http://factmyth.com/factoid... why Lovelace was not the first computer programmer either. That doesn't make her any less impressive btw.

This could also be addressed through a definition, e.g. "Widget means an item that conforms to the Spefcifications."

If you lead with "All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or transmitted in any form by any means, i.e., electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording or otherwise, without the prior written permission of the United Nations." in a document freely available and downloadable you have already demonstrated that you are not overly concerned with the meaningfulness of your document.

Re: Time-Travel Queries: SELECT witty_subtitle FROM THE FUTURE

Yeah. The only solid implementation I know of is in Datomic, but that is datalog based and not SQL.

Re: (λx.Liu)Blog=Hacking: Understand clojure.zip with picture

maacl — Tue, 05 Apr 2016 17:00:57 -0000

The definition of z in your first example is incorrect and does not compile. It should be (def z (zip/vector-zip t)). Also I don't think that the visualisation is necessarily very helpful due to the duplication of the branches.

Re: Building a useful set of parser combinators

maacl — Sun, 27 Dec 2015 18:18:11 -0000

Great posts. Either I am misunderstanding something or this bit has a typo:

"val mapP :

f:('a -> 'b) -> Parser<'a> -> Parser<'b>

we can see that it has exactly the signature we want, transforming a function 'a -> 'b into a function Parser<'a> -> Parser<'b>."

Doesn't mapP take a function f:('a -> 'b) and a Parser<'a> and return a Parser<'b> ?

First read MSCD. Then read and rewrite into the MSCD style 50 contracts.

Very interesting post, but the examples are very hard to see because of the low contrast.

Thanks for a great post. Might be slightly confusing for newbies that you include the require for html, but not the remaining dependencies.

Great write-up. There is a minor error in the first visualisation. :x is connected to :y and :a not :y and :b.

Re: Now Available for Free: My Webcast on Drafting and Reviewing Confidentiality Agreements

maacl — Sat, 26 Jul 2014 18:37:02 -0000

Ken, good stuff. I especially like the points on the return/destruction of confidential information. It is quite disconcerting to see that almost all confidentiality templates out there, fail to deal with these issues in a manner that takes into account the reality of electronically stored information, email systems and backup procedures.

Re: Functional Programming | Clojure for the Brave and True

In section 4.3 you write that:

Given this board, positions 1, 6, and 11 have valid moves, and all others don't

I believe position 13 also has a valid move cf:

pegthing.core=> (valid-moves my-board 13)

{4 8}

Thanks for some great material.
