Part of the American mythology is that government involvement is always bad. It's hard for me to know if this developed because of the myths of the America Revolution, that a small colony won it alone and not because of external factor

From my understand this is going to the poorest of the poor in Kenya, because the median Kenyaian monthly salary is ~800 USD.[1][2] So this UBI experiment does not seem to be for the average population, more as a form of welfare. Still inte

I have used both of those navigation libraries in medium sized projects as well. This is the section that struck me as overstated: "The last time I checked there was still no reasonable, scalable way to do complex navigation on the pla

I'm sorry but this seems overstated. There is already two highly competitive navigation libraries: https://github.com/wix/react-native-navigation https://reactnavigation.org Edit: Replaced the word FUD

Absolutely, most big mobile development teams I know do not use storyboards or NIBs because they are not easily human reviewable. (A small change will rearrange sections for seemlying no reason.)

I'm arguing that heliocentrism was a means to an end. The Catholic Church was being accused of not taking the Bible seriously by the Protestents which is what caused the whole "heliocentrism heresy", but it wasn't really

This article begins with a false story about Galileo being locked up for promoting heliocentrism. That is not why he was locked up. Copernicus came before Galileo, promoted heliocentrism and was employed by the Catholic Church. Galileo was

I'm sorry but this headline doesn't reflect the content of the article. (The linked article has the same headline.) The article is more about enabling VS Code extentions by workspace in order to keep VS Code fast. The current head

How do these handle kerning? I'm guessing they are monospaced? Looking on the page I can't find any of the CSS Sans used in a sentence. Edit: Found a demo page[1], it's monospaced. [1] https://yusugomori.com/p

Recursion could be considered a form of looping. Eve does not have recursion either, see my above comment[0] on how Eve managed to apply computation to a bunch of values without loops. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?i

by RubenSandwich 9y ago
Eve doesn't have loops, because the basic unit isn't a variable but a set of variables. So a computation is applied to every element in a value. e.g. x = [1, 2, 3] x + 2 // x = [3, 4, 5] I have since learned that APL doe

I generally agree, but formal methods I can say with confidence will get adopted in the future. Here is why: Testing is fastly becoming adopted by everyone in our industry, why? Becuase you cannot afford to not write tests if your system is

A major problem that I see with Elm is that it seems, from the outside, to have a bus factor of 1. Looking at the commits for the compiler and other core libraries you only see one name over and over again: Evans. Evan has created a very st

Wow this is such a great idea for funding. But I wonder if this would work with other language communities because the Clojure community, from my understanding, tends to concentrate around the same tools. Anyone know of any other language c
