A "C" type programming language with no curly brackets (or equivalent) and significant whitespace is a huge negative for me and utter deal breaker. This is the first time I have heard about Nimrod and was very interested to see mo

If I can ask a stupid question. Why Julia? It seems to me that if you are not going to be using Python, then why not use a language like Java?

I use LinkedIn, but it generates way, way too much email. Now I have a filter to send all LI mail straight to it's own folder. Next step is straight to spam.

This reminds me of a true story I once read about the best car salesman in the country at the time. Single handedly he was selling more than some not-so-small entire dealerships. The difference was his incredible focus and approach to even

Interesting project, but potentially very dangerous. If you get the laser power wrong then you end up blinding everyone in the room.

SO is brilliant for classes of questions that have black/white type answers and infuriating for almost any question that has an "it depends" somewhere in the answer. Unfortunately many legitimate and serious programming/

I can testify personally to the effort that these guys put in. Nick Sivo (kogir) spent much more time on me with a problem than I ever would have expected. Thanks Nick and congrats to all the HN guys on their official roles!

If this thing supports epub as well it would be perfect. I have been looking for a full A4-sized e-ink reader for ages now but aside from my Kindle DX, (which has to be hacked to read PDF's and epub) there has been very little. I am no

How does one go about editing the display parameters? I am a complete neophyte at this, but tried pressing F12 to access various debugging tools. I could not find any reference to the comments. Also interested how you discovered this in the

Linux, which is free, has been supported for longer, and is still being supported. MS should either open source XP and/or provide support for a further 3 years or so, which would be about 10 years of support after last official sales.

Ignoring the rather dodgy legal shenanigans here, it was pretty silly to discuss doing nasty things to Microsoft, on MS controlled systems.

Node works very well under windows, including a great package manager - npm. It can be done.

If there is a choice - it is better to place your bet with the company whose main business line depends on the service you are using. Google has a long history of dropping services, because it can. It does not matter to Google that 10k peop

Although SO does give one the option to answer an own question it is clear here that this guy posted his question in order to answer it, perhaps to farm points, perhaps because he thought his answer is genuinely useful. The answer is time

I used to meditate while running (at least for some definition of meditation) - but the downside is you have to be exceptionally fit to do it. Can't imagine me being able to do that now!

Of course this is wildly speculative but perhaps a simple answer is that someone internally at Mt Gox cleaned out the accounts and is blaming hackers and/or bugs. 100's of millions of dollars is easily enough of a temptation for s
