Softdrinks and other calory-dense drinks with zero nutrients are bad in excess in the way that eating pure sugar is bad in excess. It becomes an excess very quickly. A small slice of chocolate cake contains more nutrition than a soda, but i

That's nice. Everyone is different and different things make them happy.

Yeah, I'm well aware of both these things.

So what happens when you have grit for things that you don't have access to, but not the things that you do have access to? Blocked by a lack of opportunity in the things that you love.

And yet we can probably agree on a few things. Calorie heavy softdrinks with zero nutrients are probably one of the most unhealthy things, but incredibly beneficial to resturaunts due to high markup, long storage times, easy transport and s

Agreed. This is what happens when software fails catastrophically. People die and we lose confidence in software that could save lives if it worked properly.

And it's clearly there so employees can get back to work faster and stay on location for lunch. Is it more efficient to have catered rather than outside food? Does it taste better? Is it healthier? It's hard to say. I think the co

Or maybe it would validate the manager's value in the eyes of people who fit in the organization. Instead of having current managers / CEOs or whoever being the validating authority. Different values would grow; valve has a more e

As a somewhat frugal person, I feel really uncomfortable when companies buy me unnecessary things (that could be going into my salary...). SV sounds like it's becoming a nicer place to work to be honest.

Are there nerves / neurons in there that might have been removed there? Possibly some with an important function for some people?

I have a beard and do math on planes. I should be more careful...

So many professors look homeless. This might be a step up!

I understand why many people are skeptical, but you guys are doing something new in a space that has long been ignored. Keep up the good work!

Today I learned why I hated calculus. Real analysis sounds like fun!

Most likely you have. Or simply something very heavily inspired by either.

Is this coming out of Rust's intermediate stage before LLVM? The compiler project seems to have gotten a lot more interesting :)

Most people are more familiar with the standard argument of 'nuh-uh' when things change.

They are certainly over worked and probably sleep deprived. I'd love it if they staffed more people...

Which is the one that thinks increasing funding helps? Conservatives?

I at least sympathize. In college I was either one of the best students in the school or one of the worst. Consistently was at least 2 standard deviations ahead of the class in compilers and strong in abstract maths, but I failed every writ

It's a problem with the model. It's far too much for subscribing to a single site; especially when it's linked to from social media (HN) where it's required to have access to participate in community discussion. HN will

As a teen, drug dealer was more fun :p

Thank god.

When I was a teen (10 years ago) a friend of mine was a drug dealer. He dealt morning-after pills to girls who couldn't get them normally.

There are certainly exceptions as you mention, but if there isn't a good reason then why bother with it? This seems largely within the cultural spirit of programming; if there is tedium/bureaucracy, automate it away or solve it wi

I really enjoy the level of writing and maintaining code. I really enjoy solving problems that very few people could solve. I don't really like the stuff that is produced and used that people get paid for...

If there isn't tail recursion should I implement it with trampolining in the compiler first?

I wonder if the EFF is bold enough / has the resources to help. Encryption really should fall under the fifth. In this case he isn't charged with anything, so I'm not sure the fifth applies? I want a lawyer friend lol.
