Your example, g actually takes the unit tuple, and returns 5. In ML, in general, you have to disambiguate with parentheses sometimes, but the compiler is very strict about types, so it's usually pretty easy to tell where they need to b

One interesting thing he brought up is that as a developer, you can't develop as if everyone is using a 3D Touch device, because they aren't so you just add some enhancements to your product for the 6S(+) users. This means among o

I'm not sure why they are using Facebook as their example. There, I have so many choices on how I want to deal with a bully. I can: 1.) Delete their harassing posts and/or report them. 2.) Use the privacy settings so they can&#x27

Grasping at straws is a strange way to say rolling in money. The Journals are relics for sure, but with the internet their costs went down, and they make a ton of money financed by tax-funded research.

They used it in the same sentence as the emote itself, so I'd imagine it's not meant to be taken too seriously. The Kappa face is not generally used in more reputable sites, but this is a internet subculture piece, so I think it f

If you are interested mainly in the functional language aspect of OCaml and use Windows, F# is very close to OCaml in syntax/semantics, but has really good support within Visual Studio (a really good debugger for example). Once you wan

Not OP, but if you want faithfulness to the original languages, English Standard Version is really good. New American Standard Bible is also good.

I find it amusing that many places that will require "Strong" passwords with numbers, letters, and symbols, will use 9 digits as if it is secure, many even using just the last four!

I just read it as "Accepting higher variance investments". Start-ups are already high variance, but going outside of existing trends pushes it even higher.

What poor choices are revealed by writing a debugger in particular? At this point, he compiles Jai to C, and the compiler isn't too gigantic yet, so there's not a huge surface area to look for compiler bugs.

Hearthstone (by Blizzard) is a Unity game, not that performance is a huge concern for card games. It's a pretty thin client mainly for displaying the animations/artwork while most of the logic runs serverside. Still, it's a v

I think the Reddit execs see other aggregators just ripping off things that were popular on Reddit[0] and thinking that they are missing out on a potential revenue source. Their user base seems to really dislike this move[1], but it seems t

In certain cases you would save a whole ton of money for exactly the same drug since India has much less patent protection (you can't patent the drug, only how you make it, and for a shorter period). According to their Wikipedia page,

For most of the people I know that aren't in tech, patent reform isn't remotely on their radar. Congress isn't going to go against the money for an issue that doesn't have overwhelming popular support. Is there even a co

Memory safety is compile-time guaranteed except in unsafe blocks. It's a little less strong than your impression. Memory absolutely can be a problem, but instead of looking over the entire program to find it, you know the problem comes

That's pretty niche though. Even in that scenario, you could always offload to external storage. It seems reasonable that their phones are expected to mostly behave as phones, and not as a large photo/video repository.
