I would define it as: when a compiler operates on its own source code, the resultant compiled compiler executes as fast as the original. When an interpreter evaluates its own source code, the resultant interpreted interpreter is an order of

Awesome. I bought a NoFan from quietpc.com last year but I struggled to get a completely fanless setup capable of driving 4K at 60Hz (there was exactly one fanless card they offered which had displayPort 1.2).... Now though it looks like Ai

The configurations that allow multiple 60Hz 4K monitors appear to depend on either having a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950 or NVIDIA Quadro M4000 graphics cards. But the NVidia GeForce GTX says it needs a 350W power supply [0]. The NVidia Quadro sa

Your second to last paragraph is brilliant. Forget welding - you should write a novel!

Tunbridge Wells is a well-to-do town in Kent, southeast of London. Octogenarian = > 80 years old. So I think what he means by this phrase is "typical retired conservative voter: wealthy with traditional views".

This is exactly the sort of political crap I'd rather not see on the Hacker News front page.

The no drinking thing is actually a bit of a mythconception - e.g. Penicillin is safe to take while drinking. http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2005/06/02/1380836.ht...

If you read closely what I said, I wasn't really disagreeing with you. You are attacking a "straw man": I never said the result is fair (quite the opposite!), or that the people who earn higher salaries do so because they are

It's true that, in principal, an efficient central bureaucracy could do a better job of allocating people's efforts. For example, the Government could be responsible for all R&D - and arguably this was effectively the case whe

I wish someone in the article had said something like this: We live in a society where individuals are mostly free to negotiate salary and compensation with whoever they choose to work for, and employers are in turn free to negotiate with w

oh right yes - I was replying to your comment because it was another article by Oleg, not because it was another article about OCaML type inference.

For me, this article was the one where it "clicked": http://okmij.org/ftp/Haskell/AlgorithmsH.html#teval . Summary: type inference is just "evaluating" the program/expression, but the resul

Could someone repost the last two paragraphs here? The page somehow resets whenever I try to scroll all the way to the bottom.

Does this work on anyone else's phone? I just get a heavily pixelated virtually unrecognisable picture. (iPhone 6 - same for both Chrome and Safari)

yeah that bit didn't ring true to me either - I can't imagine Grad school being "loads of free time" unless perhaps you didn't care when/if you got your masters/PhD (and so just let everything slide).

Question: at the bottom of https://github.com/fogleman/ln/blob/master/ln/matrix.go Did you type that in manually? I wonder if there's a way to do that in Go that doesn't have as much dupl

My experience of OO programming - by the end I found the following style worked best: -> always using pure abstract base classes -> constructed those implementations using factories (which in turn, were pure abstract base classes) -&g
