tmp123tmp123··on What's in an Emacs Lambda?
The difference is when an expression is to be evaluated. Back quote and friends are evaluated by the read function. These expressions are (or at least should be) functions on syntactic forms - syntax transformers. People call them macros. Of course they could have been misused in many cryptic ways.
tmp123tmp123··on REST is the new SOAP
Nope. Rest is stateless, which means it is a form of message passing - the right thing to do (a universal design principle, like a pipeline, etc).

Soap is just a crap by a committee of idiots.

If you like this blue is new white pattern, consider Javascript is new J2EE instead.

tmp123tmp123··on Overcoming Us vs. Them
Us vs. them is not just mindset, it is in evolved biology. Overcoming biology is nonsense.

Nevertheless, an intelligent person must be aware of workings of ones biology and physiology and try to correct his behavior.

It is same like riding a bicycle - difficult to learn but once the skill set is acquired it becomes a habit. Meditation is the another name for it.
