But perhaps it's all related. Violent crime occurs because it's fueled by an illegal cash cow in the form of drugs. People don't just murder or assault people without being driven to do so. They have an economic incentive.

I'd love to hear more about your thoughts on this. I couldn't find an email address in your profile, but I have an address in mine, so please shoot me an email.

A natural monopoly is where a company operates in an industry in which either network effects or vertical integration make a big difference for the competitiveness of the company, so it's naturally incentivised within the market for on

But what sort of earphones can you wear while swimming that don't fall out?

Great answer, thanks.

Can you elaborate on why graph databases are important in this context?

Could I use Red in a manner similar to Awk for record processing?

Well, given that Apache Kafka is written in Scala and Java, I would suppose...

The difference between code and literature is that, while both can be abstract, code must ultimately be executed unambiguously. Underneath all the abstraction is concrete meaning. This is unlike literature, which concerns ineffable concepts

Can you elaborate on what you mean by that? What would it mean to be able to manipulate the call graph? In which situations would that be useful?

by _mhr_ 10y ago
I agree with you, but to play devil's advocate: isn't the purpose of an IDE to keep you from having to remember parameters and stuff like that? Autocomplete?

How would you prefer to see computers programmed, besides code?

I'm also working on a personal DB. My email's in my profile if you're interested in chatting about our ideas.

Can I email you? I'm working on similar ideas. I can't find an email address. My email address is in my profile.

Perhaps Trump is unpredictable... but the people he's choosing for his administration are not.

They're not pleased with a majority female program. They're pleased with a half-male / half-female program. They don't want it to be lopsided in either direction because they believe programming as a skill is orthogonal

It'd be a fun project to write a an APL-like that compiles down to NumPy. Would it be pointless? Another interesting project might be to make an APL-like for probabilistic programming.

Really good idea. One of the things that I found lacking (in retrospect, now that you mention it) in Coursera when I used it was that study groups weren't an official feature. I'm sure people made them unofficially in the forum, b

It works according to what proof? Do you know of a scientific article that compared homeopathy against a control placebo that showed homeopathy outperforming the placebo?

I would call a language like Haskell "purely functional" and a language like OCaml "impurely functional". A functional programming language to me is a programming language where functions are in charge of data. In a lang

That's wild. You have personal anecdata seeing this in action? How do you detect it? How do you know you aren't just being... paranoid? Can you give irrefutable evidence of an simulated persona? How would one even prove that?

You say "foods" - plural. Did you cut other things out besides sugar?

For me at least, I know that if I didn't have my nose in my phone, I would have my nose in a book instead. Either way, I manage boredom through reading.
