I love Chocolat. It's fast. Code completion is excellent. It picks up where Textmate left off and uses the same bundles/plugins. And it doesn't require a bunch of customization to make it look at home on my Mac. I periodically fire up Sublime and Atom for fun, but Chocolat is most comfortable for me.

IL2CPP has been on our radar for a while. We haven't gotten any real access to Unity 5 yet, so we can't say what the compatibility will be like for sure.

But since IL2CPP acts on the CLR bytecode, and Arcadia emits valid CLR bytecode, in theory there shouldn't be a problem. Time will tell!
There's quite a lot of technology that allows you to write lisp/clojure very well in emacs. Some that come to mind,

- Swank/Slime (Lisp inferior modes) that allow you to write lisp, evaluate within the editor, see your results in a buffer. Offer auto complete, refactoring, debugging et al.

The more recent nrepl and cider modes for Clojure build on top of slime/swank and offer extremely great tools to write code as well. If you ever wanted to have the REPL running on the side and have great interop between code in a file and the REPL - these modes are great. Imagine their power when you can connect into a running webserver and debug on the fly from within your editor.

- A lot of original emacs plugins like paredit have now been ported to other platforms like Sublime. Also, emacs itself is written in lisp, which makes it a first class language it supports at its very core.

There are things that are useful to the extent that they're not inaccurate, but most of it is very incomplete with regards to how most of the music most people enjoy today works. Recorded music is not mentioned, blues tonality is not mentioned, there is no theory of groove or syncopation, and there's nothing about lyrics. Without these things, "music theory" is not useful for studying modern popular music.

Your book recommendation looks quite interesting too, thank you. I'm not sure if Ethan Hein's blog is a great starting place for a beginner, but it's some of the best "theorizing" around recorded music that I know of.
We didn't destroy the book! We just ruled you can't keep it on a shelf under the name of one of the reviewers - but everywhere else you want to keep it is fine.

It might overcomplicate it, but the Worst thing, while quite useful, would be more quickly useful if you could see the location of each element.

E.g., show the low ceiling and then the ICAO code for that airport parenthetically, then high winds and another airport code. Quick way to inform intuition about where things are happening.

In my region, I saw several items under Worst, but after scrolling down and looking it over, I realized it was all happening on the other side of a mountain range–nothing to really be concerned about unless I'm going over there, since that stuff is usually well contained.
I'm suspicious that "quality of communication" will turn out to be a proxy for parental IQ.

Sun's Star7: Touchscreen Tablet of 1992
I feel the same way about gaining insight from studying the history of music theory, but I have to disagree with a couple of points, too:

1. Studying the history of Western music theory doesn't give you insight into any music, as you claim. It gives you insight into Western music. Check out music from another part of the world with a completely different notion of tuning, different scales, etc, and your music theory background isn't going to help very much. The only thing that is truly universal is the overtone series, because that's based on physics.

2. I think we could come up with plenty of structurally complex music from recent idioms, particularly jazz and jazz-influenced music. I would say that a bigger difference between something like, I dunno, Steely Dan, and Beethoven's Fifth, is length. Popular musicians don't seem to attempt such longer pieces. But for me personally, longer != more powerful. For that matter, more complex != more powerful, but I happen to share your desire for what we're calling "compositional depth", whatever that may be...

> Find a hedge fund that's a little slow to update their purchase price based on market changes

This doesn't even really make sense. What's the "purchase price" of a hedge fund? Getting money into and out of hedge funds is a long process, not amenable to latency arbitrage.

Do you mean mutual funds or ETFs instead of hedge funds?

In the case of mutual funds, there used to be mutual funds with European holdings that used European closing prices when trading in or out of the fund at the US close, allowing arbitrage based on after-hours trading. However, that bug got fixed decades ago.

In the case of ETFs, they are priced by the market, so there's no such thing as the ETF itself being slow to update its price.

EDIT: Actually, I think instead of "their purchase price" you mean "their order limits". In most major equity exchanges, one doesn't know who's on the other side of the trades, so one wouldn't "find a hedge fund" to trade against, but rather "find a pattern of trades" to trade against. One typically wouldn't know if that pattern represented a hedge fund, a bank, etc., or maybe several different market participants that in aggregate produced an exploitable trading pattern.

I can speak about Clojure support for Emacs a bit, but I don't know how much of this Sublime or Atom can do.

I like the cider+nrepl workflow myself. You can edit your code, reevaluate it, and test it without having to restart your JVM. As you can imagine, this really speeds up development.

Also, though I haven't quite grokked all the barfing and slurping yet, paredit has really become a huge part of my code writing and editing in Emacs for Clojure code. I am on the cusp of getting barfing and slurping working for me now ;)

They didn't design the case either. The product comes complete, in the same case, from a Chinese manufacturer. Zero assembly required... same RAM and CPU specs... 5 different models to choose from... $20. Claiming they did ANY hardware design, assembly, etc. is the fraudulent part.

Each lisp varies dramatically in its semantics. Just because emacs is written in e-lisp does not mean it has first class language support for every other lisp. Would you say that vim has first class support for every language with block & statement based languages?
The philosophy of time is one of the remaining bulwarks of a philosophical position called 'dualism', which holds that minds are completely separate from our bodies: if you view us as being big ropes of particle-worldlines in a 4-dimensional fixed universe, you are basically stuck with describing us as "souls" who have latched onto this rope and are traveling along it, living the experience even though the future is as set in stone as the past. It makes relativity really easy to understand, but it makes entropy comparably harder (since the premise of entropy is that our uncertainties multiply due to particle collisions until things end up in more and more uncertain states). It almost sounds like there's no free will in this perspective, but that's not quite true. Instead you get a model of free will which is a lot like you see in the movie The Matrix: "Because you didn't come here to make the choice, you've already made it. You're here to try to understand why you made it."

Relativity does not necessarily compel this. It is true, the relativistic "present" is a space between two light cones, and not just one plane. But that's not necessarily a huge obstacle: we can just pretend that there is one plane which is the "true present" and accept that the laws of physics make it impossible to know if we're truly right about which it is. As long as one of the planes is the true present you can lift up the Newtonian way of looking at time to the special-relativistic whole.

It turns out that black holes aren't really so interesting as this article claims, because there is a 'co-moving' metric which falls into the black hole's event horizon in a finite time. What happens with a black hole is, you see someone slow down more and more to a standstill as they approach the event horizon, appearing to "merge in" with that surface, redshifting into the quantum noise of the Hawking radiation there. But from their perspective, you're just seeing their "last moment in this universe"; they'll keep going on past that horizon.

But general relativity is still a problem. It describes the causal fabric of the universe as warped by the energies that inhabit each part of that fabric, and that makes it really hard to deal with time. Some of the interesting stuff here comes either from (a) alternative descriptions of relativity (like spinors/twistors, where you describe the entire world-line of a particle as a point), or (b) quantum mechanics (where you can do multiple-universe-splitting). The combination of relativity and quantum mechanics, for example, seems to give us the Wheeler-de Witt equation, which time famously "falls out" of (it plays no final role in the equation). Some physicists, notably Julian Barbour, think that this means we've got to fixate on a static universe. I'm totally undecided on this but I find it fascinating.
That would be fantastic!

There would need to be ClojureScript style restrictions on the code though, right? IL2CPP wouldn't allow (eval) at runtime by its nature.
Multi-column text layouts – a good fit for the Web?
I recently came across PubMed's "PubReader view":

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3163673/?report=reader

Presenting paginated content in a multi-column layout has its advantages. First and foremost, it's better adapted to widescreen displays -- instead of a narrow column of text surrounded by huge margins on both sides, the entire window area is filled with text, allowing the reader to see much more content without scrolling. The user can maximize the browser window to fully utilize the screen area (the 2-column layout then becomes a 3-column layout).

One disadvantage is that you can no longer Ctrl+F to find a keyword within the article. The page has to provide its own search functionality. This is of course not an inherent problem and could be solved with proper browser support.

Do you think multi-column, paginated text has a future for general Web content (outside of ebook readers etc.)?
Are programming languages more tools or languages? To put it another way, if I know several methods of knitting, would that offer similar benefits of being multilingual, or are human languages different than other tools?

Very cool! https://haveibeenpwned.com/ added a similar feature recently, which anyone can use to get notifications if their email appears in a paste or DB leak.
I got bogged down the other day with 29 somewhat long emails in one day back and forth for a negotiating project that I took on for a VC firm who I've dealt with before. Handholding and explaing to all parties on issues that weren't even related to the actual transaction in a sense. [1] Without that handholding the deal would fall through (just closed today after another 30 emails). That's in addition to whatever happened over the past 6 weeks. Plenty.

Specifically the emails didn't relate to negotiating issues they related to things unrelated but needed to make sure the seller didn't back out.

I don't quote on an hourly basis (I like to go on "value") but in this case I was curious whether I could build into my rate some way to protect myself by using something that is somewhat familiar to people using attorneys already. (Hence the request for feedback and basic framework...I know I always got billed for letters from attorneys in the past..)

This is a side thing that I do essentially for fun however getting tied up in emails all day kind of kills the fun.

Agree with your high level point. Mine isn't that because it's written in e-lisp, emacs supports every other lisp. The fact that it's written in e-lisp makes it very extensible, and some standard things like C-x C-e to evaluate forms et al, which were originally developed for and are the standard for e-lisp, have been adopted for all other lisp modes as well. The very fact that the editor is written in a lisp makes it expose useful functionality this is useful in other lisp contexts.
By the way, the easiest way around this latency arbitrage in simulated trading games is to have all trades occur at the published closing auction price for the next closing auction after the trade is placed. A trade for IBM.N at 09:43 America/New_York or 15:55 America/New_York occurs at that day's closing price. A trade for IBM.N at 16:05 America/New_York occurs at the next day's closing price. Disallow placing or canceling orders within 5 minutes either side of the particular equity's market close in order to prevent latency arbitrage and reduce disputes.
