That's my favorite part. I clicked here expecting more evidence that they stole. "Stole" should be in scare quotes, if anything.

Julia's a nice language even without the speed improvements. It's less overtly object oriented than Python, which could be a pro or con for you. I like its multiple dispatch, for example. But it is pretty fast too :)

For a book typsetting program that's trying to produce html without a lot of writing overhead, some of those features are pretty great. Steve Yegge has a related blog post (the context is emacs): https://sites.google.com&#x2

I remember reading one PG's essays a while ago that concluded 1. YC should fund riskier startups 2. Many good ideas sound bad at first. Funding a criminal smuggling operation seems to fit both criteria. Free idea for the next batch (or

The town I live in has a Facebook group for neighborhood news, gossip, etc. From what I've heard, it's exactly the same story there.

One can rent a locked post office box at the post office and use that for sensitive mail. From what I've heard, getting a PO Box is one of the first recommendations a lawyer makes to anyone going through a divorce. :)

Of course, a parent could also install an app like this as part of a long process of discussion and negotiation wherein the child repeatedly blows off commitments to check in, blows off even lenient curfews, and struggles to hold up his or

A long discussion of why something was downvoted (like this one) degrades the quality of the thread, and it's usually obvious why the comment might have been downvoted, especially after reading the guidelines.[1] W/ respect to you

Very minor detail, but numbers should be right aligned "tabular" numbers in your flowcharts. Digits like to be vertically aligned. I'm on Linux, so I don't know if that's just an artifact of the example on your home

Add to that: people who can successfully "break out of those constraints" are pretty rare. Most painters will get better results on the canvas than the mountainside.

Textbooks also have "examples" which are exercises with worked answers. If you cover up the solution and try to work through it on your own first, a worked example is very instructive. It's just as instructive (and usually pr

I think it's a combination of unawareness and irrelevance (or perceived irrelevance): many economists are essentially running simulations on a workstation, and that's the use case of the paper.
