Pretty good article about why types and tests can be useful, especially for people who are forced to using JavaScript[0]. [0] e.g. Most developers that are working on browser based applications.

This appears to be a very good application of AI. With 2-dimensional puzzles humans can sometimes do a reasonable job. Reconstructing pottery is essentially a 3-dimensional puzzle and we are not really good at this.

It also makes it impossible to speak. There is probably a huge market for this in some nations that do not want their citizens to speak out.

Security should have been been a top priority right from the start. It is very strange that ARPA, a DOD agency that sponsored most of the Internet technology, cared so little about security.

What I always find frustrating with these numbers is that they don't tell what the interest rate is that the government has to pay. Some countries (e.g. the US) will pay very small amounts while other countries will have high interest

The value of crypto coins is extremely volatile. Once one big party starts selling the price will drop and then everybody else starts selling too. It will be interesting to see if they can recover.

The article does not really try to explain the underlying technology. It is very interesting. There is a nice page on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_acoustic_sensing

I am very pleased by the way you moderate discussions on HN in general, but I really think you are very wrong on this. It is pretty clear that you are only thinking about the US perspective on things.

Avoid that person. If you want to tell others about the bluff, make certain that you have evidence to back it up.

I have been an atheist since my childhood. Soon after I stopped believing in the original version of Santa Claus (Sinterklaas), I stopped believing in gods. For a while after that, I became a real atheist missionary. It does not seem to wor

Perhaps it is somewhat more difficult than you think. Some of the questions are ambiguous, and I would definitely prefer someone who asked good questions about that over someone who gave the "correct" answer. I have been involved

One of my early memories was of a very big statue that was standing on a cube that was almost the same size as me. I must have been less than four, because we moved to a different place after that. Years later I visited the same spot, the c

This is China Global Television Network. It is a very reasonable assumption that its goal is to spread propaganda for the state of China. It is not doing a very good job. The site is extremely slow to load, they should get better technician
