So lets assume I'm interested in deeper computer science :)

I'm just getting started with Haskell and there will soon come a time where I need to jump in the deep end. When I'm ready to learn Category theory, what background will I need? Is elementary calculus and a little linear algebra e

After reading rlvesco7's comment, I immediately deleted my Mint account. It always made me uncomfortable to have all my financial data sitting in the cloud. I stopped actively using it a few months ago. An open source service sounds in

A CA outside the reach of the NSA would be really valuable right now. A free CA outside the reach of the NSA would save the world.

That's what's awesome about it! Everybody who uses it gets the same impressions of it (EDIT: and those impressions are 95% good). What other language has that going for it?

This has nothing to do with acceleration. The idea is that you bend space-time so that you experience movement of a relatively short distance but actually travel hundreds of light years. In order to do so you have to alter space-time as we

Yeah, it would be worth it if you actually got to experience anything besides instantaneous death. Also, what makes you think there would be no danger to the surrounding system? Bending space and time within our own solar system sounds like

Yes, I must be a real luddite... That's why I'm on HN. because I think technology is really awful. Also, thanks for letting me know when the first aircraft was invented. Since I consider the concept of bending time and space dange

I can only assume death greets anyone inside this hypothetical device.

I've been hacking at features for my startup for a couple months now. As I progress, I get increasingly nervous about the process of turning the product into a business. I'm not so worried about the community or functionality beca

You can configure your server to log usage of deprecated features in PHP so that the attack would ultimately appear in the log. Admittedly, it would still take a pretty vigilant Sys Admin to catch it.

I for one have not done so and would not know how. However, I'd like to so hopefully some wise hacker will respond with recommendations here. IMHO the best thing that could come out of the Snowden leaks is a rallying cry for an explosi

Things are even worse in the PHP world than the languages described in the article. You get variable variables and you can use variable as the function/class names so this is totally valid: function do($class, $action, $param, $val

Yes, it's good and important to keep code DRY. The point here is that we often come up with clever brute force means of keeping code DRY. In most cases where you're generating method names through string concatenation (to use an e

"It's hard to square Microsoft's secret collaboration with the NSA with its high-profile efforts to compete on privacy with Google." I think it squares quite nicely. Set your standards low enough...

If you're not planning on marketing this, please share your process. I'd love to give this a try (if I can get my wife's permission... crosses fingers )!

It's time to leave that company. They don't deserve you.

I concur. While the article made sense and the decisions seemed logical, I'm shy of the level of knowledge necessary to come up with healthy criticism. A nice quantitative benchmark would clear things up an awful lot.

Thanks for this. After reading the article I was able to go to the design document and keep my head above water. Go has a lot going for it, but one underrated aspect is excellent propagation of information about the language. The talks by t

Also, if you're using Google App Engine SDK it can compile in realtime (i.e. every time you save a file in the project). So if you have one terminal open to the dev server process and another for your editor, you get instant feedback e

Some of the items mentioned in that list are the reason why: "The code you write with Go just seems to be correct." e.g. - Having to always check errors (or at least explicitly ignore them) * By the way, do this anyway. It's

Symmetric Encryption means both sides can access the data. It's different from using a hash (like MD5 or the stronger SHA series) in that it can be reversed given the key. Ouch... that's oversimplified... Here: https://
