My parents have parrots, and I lived with them for four years. Really nice pets, very clever, and they can show some affection. It's true that they can get depressed in a cage, but in my case they can fly freely in the house, and they

They could very well partner. Let's say you are a recruiter looking for someone who knows machine learning and is based (or wiling to move to) a certain place. A quick search on linkedin and you are shown, amongst others, all the candi

I'm not the most qualified to answer, but let's say you do freelance for a while, then decide to look for a job again and you see that your resume plays against you. Then, could you say that you were employed in a consulting firm

Totally unrelated, but I did a short contract about maths for a Ben who was based in Puerto Rico, was it you?

I came here to say just that. I can't believe someone who is supposed to represent justice can dehumanize someone to this point. It's a very sad thing to read.

> Linear growth can be worse than no growth Not sure I get this one right. For me, some growth is better than nothing. If your growth is linear, it means that you have something like n new users every week, which is probably because

And how about: meal_cost * tax ? This one makes sense in the real world, so I suppose an advanced type system allows the programmer to specify what operations are legit or not across different types.

I never used F#. In your example, would the code: meal_cost + tax trigger a compiler exception?

by S4M 12y ago
The example you mentioned, translated in Java, would be: Double mean = 55.50; Double tax = 0.0675; Double tip = 0.15; And the function declaration would be: Double calc_total(Double meal, Double tax, Double tip) So

Well, I was once interrogated in a very unpleasant tone by a police officer at the airport of London Heathrow because I was carrying an empty baby buggy, since I was picking up my wife and our son from a trip. Basically I was suspected of a

If it were me, I'd be afraid the security agent would chose to be a dick and put me in jail for 24 hours for whatever motive he could think of. Also, the fake ID thing is pretty risky.

How about having two OSes on the camera? One will be minimal, just as it is now, to take pictures, and the other one will be an Android like OS to be able to do things like modifying the pictures. The camera would have a dual boot, so when

Yeah, I had to read the source code of the page to understand it was actually a presentation.

There is an Android version. I am curious, are there people out there who use Android device to code? I tried a bit QPython but it was frustrating not to be able to use the app I created from outside of QPython.

That's great, thanks for the explanation. Does the battery life stays the same with Arch?

Wow, does someone know if I can wipe the hard drive, install linux on it (Arch or Debian) and use it for light development (Python with Emacs)?

Yes, but you don't take into account the fact that you have to pay again when you change line.

Is it an HN clone for education? I think the design is pretty neat, congratulations on that. Out of interest, and as someone working on an education startup, how many users do you currently have?
