I have my own "playlist" for programming and studying. I've found the key to not being distracted by the music is to avoid anything with singing and stick with stuff that's already familiar. My choices include a lot of a

Post the actual details of the product on a website aimed at entrepreneurs and tech-savvy people (aka "hackers"). Someone might see a good business was opportunity, and you'll have yourself a new supplier.

Twice the resolution is 4 times the pixels, no?

It sounds like a good idea, but every time I've seen this implemented it's been as a simple whitelist lookup against user agent. This has two problems. First, user agent is... unreliable. Second, people that use less common system

> break them as soon as the economy is stable again How do we decide when that happens? In a similar vein, we lower interest rates when the economy is in poor shape and raise them again when the economy is doing better. Unless the Fed ca

This is a nice reminder that we don't have to make enemies out of those that disagree with us.

It's all the little differences that add up. Emacs behaves differently. /home isn't actually /home. Some of the Unix utilities are slightly different from the gnu versions. Etc. Basically, my Mac finds a way to annoy me

I have a 2-3 year old Gazelle and a 2015 mbp. Here's my opinion: the Apple has beautiful hardware, retina screen, and an nvidia gpu. I hate everything else about it (e.g. mac os). The Gazelle shell is just a System76 branded generic la

People do like free shit. This is why the wealthy like being wealthy. They get to live comfortable lives while their money earns them more money.

I don't buy the layman argument. Programmers might not be mathematicians or computer scientists, but they should be professionals and held to the same standards as professionals in other fields. For example, a mechanical engineer doesn

We must be using a different definition of simple. I've never seen a simple makefile.

This is not a free speech issue as far as the US constitution is concerned. Twitter is not part of the government.

That's my point. The real question is whether "having access to it" is of value to people. I tend to say yes because I love knowledge and take any opportunity I can to better understand the universe I am part of. But not ever

Math is one of those things that you'll see everywhere if you're looking for it. So its not that the mathematicians are lying, just that they have a biased perspective.

I agree for the most part. The problem is that the science that needs to be done to verify/falsify results requires a lot of knowledge. We cannot reasonably expect every citizen to have that knowledge. If they did, we wouldn't hav

The problem with presenting data is that you have to be an expert (e.g. a climate scientist in this case) to thoroughly understand the techniques and assumptions used in the models. The average citizen, who is no doubt quite intelligent, is

Yeah, this is why I didn't become a surgeon. They have so many invented words for all the different parts of the body and diseases. Seriously, why call something a metatarsal when "foot bone" works just as well?

> Category theory in the context of haskell is a source of ideas, not a tool for formal proofs. My thought as well. It seems Haskell gets criticism from both ends of the spectrum: it's either too academic to be practical or too prac

I also prefer data, but this data isn't useful. Sure, there are a lot of companies looking to hire C++ programmers, but why? Is it because of growth in the demand for C++ application development? Or is it because C++ developers are mov

C and C++ will eventually die in the same way that COBOL has died. That is, they'll never go away, but there will be fewer and fewer people able and willing to use them.

The appeal of Haskell for me isn't necessarily that it makes everything easier. It does make a lot of things easier, but also many things become more difficult. No, the appeal of a purely functional language with an expressive type sys

Not disagreeing, but Dubai is not a good example since Dubai is as hot as Dubai, and a lot of extremely wealthy people still live there.
