Would be nice to edit the title of the HN submission as well, as it is currently "Kirk, a highly-flexible thread pool".

Yes, while what Zuckerberg will try to do by himself is pretty standard from an academic point of view, it's great that he tries to find the time to learn those. He's a young dad and must have a busy job so I think it will be toug

Hopefully this will have repercussions on remote jobs and there will be more of them.

This is a nice example to use RiveScript in python, as I found the docs on pypy a bit lacking: https://github.com/aichaos/rivescript-python

Hey! Also working on math education. I am targeting middle schoolers, and my approach is to build a system based on symbolic math and AI to help the students. I have things that could be used in primary schools as well, maybe we could partn

I am working on a project that requires symbolic computation, which I am learning a bit by myself. For now I can manage, but could I get in touch with you in case I would need some advice about that? My email is in my profile (thanks!).

I can only say that I am very impressed by the knowledge you are displaying about the Risch algorithm and symbolic integration. If I may ask, what is your background and how did you learn about them so deeply?

Doesn't Maxima [0] have a proper implementation of the Risch algorithm already? [0] http://maxima.sourceforge.net/

Not really a feedback but... how did you do the landing page? It's so slick! Also you have one picture missing for Designers as your target audience: http://imgur.com/Sq0cFNg (at least on Firefox 43 on Debian).

I personally didn't like too much that essay about inequalities, but I think your comment is unnecessarily nasty. I believe arguing with commenters like you is exactly the bullshit PG mentioned.

In fact those situations are pretty rare, it was the first time it happened to me that a mathematical concept helped me to understand how to write a certain algorithm that isn't specifically mathy (as opposite to implement something pu

Last time realized that basic algebra (equivalence relation and classes) were helping me to solve a concrete programming problem I was having (having something to do with syntactic trees). It was a big surprise to me. Equivalence relations

There is one trick you can use: all numbers have the same probability to be inthe winning combination, but some numbers are less picked by played less (typically: numvers that can't be associated with birthdays). Pick those numbers and

You are right. I read the link and it seems to be made by an HR consultancy company, and the content of the post has nothing life changing. It's also interesting to notice that the submitter has never commented on HN but has submitted

Well, not really, because in the example you just gave, you would put the printf right between the braces as it should be. In the case originally discussed, you have no braces so you would have to add them, and that can be forgotten.

Even with that explanation I am not convinced of the soundness of that notation. For example, if you think you have a particular row that is causing you some problem and want to add a print statement for the row number, your code becomes, i

Yes I can email him but I thought it would be better to ask there so other people could discuss that suggestion. Now I don't need that feature since I can implement it myself thanks to brudgers' indication, and since nobody else s

Indeed, I can get the points of the comments through the API, and then I can pick only the best comments in a certain time frame. I'm surprised that one can have access to the score of the comments through the API while they are hidden

Some people can have solid technical chops, a good idea and a working prototype and not know angels. Not everybody lives in Silicon Valley or some startup hubs. In fact, there is an essay from Paul Graham explaining why some of the best ide

I concur with that advice, it seems that the startup founders are looking for a naive young guy to work for free before getting some funding. If you (OP) are really interested in that position and trust the founders (I wouldn't, but I

From the linked article: Don't remove this code: it's true that it will be accessible from the repository, but a few years from deletion, people will forget it is there.

Coming also from half a world away from Silicon Valley (Europe), I also think there is a large discrepancy in PG's essays before and after YC became successful. Before YC was successful, I felt that his essays were written by a very sm
