And we've come full circle back to VBScript in the browser. Not to worry! Google won't let that happen. They'll push for Dart instead.

F: A few months ago I'd have said apps. Now after their latest spat with A, maybe they're having a think? A: web, for sure. That's how they make their money. A: I wonder how much money they would lose if they shut down thei

You're right, and for exactly the same reason: If somebody dies in the human challenge trial it's very specifically your fault. The people that die due to a delay in the vaccine because of not using human challenge trials? Nobo

What were they? How do you find out?

You're absolutely right, it is.

Ah, yes, I remember that time when I tried to copy a house and the private sector, all parasitic-like, went on about bullshit like "labour" and "materials" and "land". Like, what's that? I have rights, yo

I get what you're saying, but it's funny because what the dodgy small players do with the data is actually sell it to facebook. You're just cutting out the middleman here.

This is not censorship, it's free speech. Stop spreading misinformation or you will have to be freespeeched too.

I'm very pro science. But science is very hard to do properly, and even when done it's very hard to find it. Pop science articles you read online, written by journalists? At best just clickbait. (I read them too. Only human...) U

Ah, there's the problem. The scientific method is great, but it doesn't apply itself. It's scientists that are the problem. Scientists are only human. Let's do an experiment. Or better, let's do a Gedankenexperi

Maybe I just can't tell what's a knockoff and what's not, but I've never noticed anything wrong coming from amazon. Maybe I just don't buy brand stuff? I've bought stuff that turned out to be shit, but I never

Can you edit your comment to add "To the same person". Some people replying seem to be having a very hard time with it.

What would be the opposite of "fork", something like "zip" that gets two lists and combines them into one? Would it have a signature also starting like this: `zip<A, B, C>(...`

by MrPatan 6y ago
Do you also use one letter variables and parameters? If not, what is different about generics? Even in your example, I'd rather read this: map<IN,OUT>(fn:(el:IN)=>OUT):OUT[] Plus, it really is a habit. If you stop doing it f

Two days to deliver? Ten days to deliver? Selling what you don't own? What century is this? Since GME, has anybody heard again the old canard "blockchain? What can it do that a database can't?"

> Short squeezes are illegal This is the first time in all this crisis that I see anybody say that short squeezes are illegal. Can you elaborate? What's illegal about them? They have happened many times. I rememeber the VW one a w

How many Dexes for company shares are being built right now? Which company will be the first one to get listed in one of those? When will it happen?

by MrPatan 6y ago
Not exactly. It would be as if the bank that mortgaged your house then prevented people from buying it, then turned around to you and said "See? Nobody wants it! You need to lower the price. Oh! What's this? The price has gone d

This is clearly Trump's fault for not signing the Paris climate accord.

To be fair to marketing people, they were correct, weren't they? Deciding that in your field you're going to redefine standard units and their abreviations is a bit lazy.

This is HN, I'm going to kill a joke instead: There is the classic: There are only two hard problems in computer science: Cache invalidation, naming things... and off-by-one errors! Ha ha ha I hate this joke. It takes one of the most

I know you mean well, and I understand the feeling, but how can you say in the same breath that the EU funds useless software and that you wish they funded more software? Why would the newly-funded software be the useful kind instead of the

Are we looking at different sites? It's a column of text with a couple of headers... What made it so bad for you? Genuine question, I don't find it offensive, or noteworthy at all.
