That sounds really nice, thank you for taking the time to write all this. I do use Emacs for editing, and I miss all the features SLIME offered for Common Lisp. Unfortunately, I'm using Julia now, and while the language is really getti

"Updated May 15, 2016 7:37 p.m. ET". What's weird is that we're discussing a two months-old article on current events. I suppose it's useful background knowledge...

Thank you for the babel reference, it looks interesting. From what I can tell, it's pretty similar. In a notebook I'm directly editing the code and seeing the results immediately, instead of switching back and forth between emacs

I agree, it looks like Hydrogen is a nice replacement for the REPL, whereas notebooks are a completely different workflow.

I haven't tried either, but atom-notebook ( https://github.com/jupyter/atom-notebook ) looks more promising to me. I hope they can integrate it well. With hydrogen, are there cells? What happens if I want to rerun e

That's not what Wikipedia says: For several years until 1959, the Batista government received financial, military, and logistical support from the United States. The Kennedy speech they link to is amazing: The real question is: What

IIRC Pearl has a chapter on "Where does causality come from?" and "Can there be causality without time?" I don't remember the conclusion unfortunately. IMO causality is a strict consequence of the time-based physics

when we speak of causality, we are speaking of a specific subset of correlative structure, Yes, I agree. Just like linear models are a specific subset of quadratic models. than the features of correlative relations that do not take part

What do you mean by structural simplifications?

Does anyone know if the voxels are axis-aligned? It looks like they're actually rotated, which should make collision detection expensive...

Not following US politics, so honest question: is Trump campaigning against income inequality?

Oh, that makes sense. Do you have any reference for it? I found this explanation http://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/040215/what-does-sp-... , but it doesn't seem all that trustworthy, and it seems to

I'd appreciate if you could expand on that, because I share the same concern as GP. It seems to me that the index fund has to sell a lousy company at a low price (since it's being delisted) and buy a strong one that's being i

Yep. But it's not just time, to be a "non-resident for tax purposes", you have to close all of your Canadian bank accounts, renounce your government-provided health insurance, etc. I suppose it's not an unreasonable syst

If the US doesn't acknowledge non-resident status, then you're right, Canada isn't like the US. However, as a Canadian who was "working in a foreign country, for a foreign company, on foreign projects" (in the US) f

I can't make head or tails of this chart. How many people had a salary between 500$ and 1000$ in the blue curve? The area under the curve is completely distorted by the logarithmic x-axis. Also, doesn't the second graph on https:

Do you know where debit cards stand? I have a cost for using debit, but does the merchant pay a significant one too?

Thank you for taking the time to find a good answer. > Staying on the right side of state laws. As of August 2014, nine states prohibit retailers from passing credit card surcharges onto consumers. They are: California, Colorado, Connect

I'm curious, how do they frame it? Is it a discount for paying with cash? If it's allowed, why doesn't every merchant offer it?

Dear HN, I'd like to fact check my outrage... If I understand correctly, credit card terms forbid stores from offering two different prices (one for paying with and one for paying without), because if they didn't, some stores woul

Many countries can get work-holiday visas to Canada. It's a very nice deal, and you can get "serious" jobs with it, too.
