I believe Servo uses a particular version of Rust for 1-2 weeks, then updates to the new version. But somebody closer to the project would have to confirm that. Servo is extremely important to the language's development because it is

brson likes scatter those around. Rust's new runtime has gave me a few of when it first landed. Unfortunately I haven't seen any in quite a while. :( (I really hope some spoil-sport doesn't get rid of them)

What does the tildes do in `(~[~[~[~[A, B], C], D], E])`?

The ABC and SBS are great channels. Very high quality content (I don't bother anything else on Aussie TV)

I live at university accommodation in Australia which houses a large proportion of international exchange students. Every one of them, from France, the UK, Canada, Sweden, the US etc. has been shocked by the prices here. Some of them have e

Unfortunately 'ringing' in the ears is a sign of permanent hearing loss. The hairs in the cochlea snap. The brain eventually adapts and filters out the ringing, but the actual damage can't be reversed.

Errm, so what is the company's relationship with Musk, other than that they are both interested in high-speed transport? Seems like copy-paste PR journalism, with the company trying to get exposure by piggy-backing of his name. :/

Is that "Go forth!" or "Go away!"? :)

It's been a courageous effort by strcat, pushing such ugliness on us over the 0.7 milestone, but it will certainly pay off into the future. I look forward to the new sugar!

What do you think of Mathematica? I've been toying with the idea of using it for sketching out ideas related to my computer graphics work, but it's a big investment. :/

It's also why you design the parts so that they are impossible to install upside down. No matter how clearly things are labelled, even the most experienced people will make mistakes.

A back/forward button would be enough for me. The scrollimations always work confusingly on platforms with smooth, momentum based scrolling (like OSX).

I'm sure the market for donor bodies would be very, very small.

Ah dang. I don't think I was actually. I don't think I'll go back to my old account though - I have karma on this one that I'd prefer to hang on to (in case I make a stupid comment one day and get down-voted heavily).

Interesting, perhaps I wasn't. I know I tried to make a submission or two and it said 'Slow down!' all the time, and that the site was very slow. I assumed this meant I was banned.

We're all human, and make mistakes. It's sad to be silenced unknowingly. I love reading some the insightful comments on HN and following the discussions, but the hellbanning policy is one of the reasons I prefer Reddit and am more

It was quite some time ago that I was hell-banned, but I think it was because my account got progressively slower, and I wasn't getting any replies or upvotes. I think I might of googled 'why is hacker news slow', and that&#x

This is not my first account. 'bjz' was hell-banned: https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=bjz It was very disheartening - it was a year before I decided to re-register. Anyway, I understand the reasoning behind th

Factor is another interesting concatenative programming language (inspired by Forth): http://concatenative.org/ I've been playing around with it for the past few days and found it to be very well documented. Well worth

Indeed. Despite how the product fares, this kind of courage makes me hopeful about his leadership into the future.

by bjz_ 13y ago
I agree with you on that. It's a tad intimidating at first, but if you go with the flow you find it really cuts down on the noise. I'm surprised so many folks are arguing the opposite, to be honest.

by bjz_ 13y ago
Indeed, I don't think it's just a developer problem. Making stuff is haard, and the more you do it, the more you understand that. Maybe it's related to that thing that has mentioned on HN quite often lately, where the incompetent people are
