l used to be/still am a ruby on rails developer. I wrote a very naive web crawler in elixir within a week while learning elixir and I'm blown away by the performance. It basically maxes out my 2011 macbook air's cpu while sta

I totally agree. This title is misleading. All the examples indicate people who "contribute social value" such as hard work, harmony with others, etc. None of these are dependent on kindness. I think the submitter is confounding i

It seems mildly insulting that someone of his talent is a "paid intern" after winning a $150,000 prize although I'm sure the money is better than most people earn "full-time". Ironically, no matter how hard Project

But again where is this report? It is a quote and so far as we can tell the only source of this. A hematoma can vary widely and the lack of information doesn't help. Again, it's not this person's actions but the hysteria of t

However, video evidence isn't the only admissible type. If the victim has injuries these can be corroborated by photographs and medical examinations. Otherwise, no cases would see the light of day. She didn't seem to get any medic

Is this case domestic violence or domestic dispute? The police allege that he hit the woman 117 times in 30 minutes. Supposedly, the video would have condemned him. Yet there is not a medical examination nor photographic evidence of physica

I wonder what is the point of caring? If I was a founder a multi-billion exit under the radar sounds like a dream come true. Celebrating success as the author puts it is merely a symptom of meritocracy and individual responsibility. Of cour

One perspective is that this "real gaming" is like a sport with the physical component completely removed and the players completely segregated. There's zero stress to your cardiovascular system and zero possibility of physic

I agree that the "gamers" as defined by the author are a rowdy bunch (for lack of a better term) but I have a hard time understanding the author's motive. Is the article trying to bring a feminist perspective to gaming? While
