Of all the things I've made ( here https://gen517.com ) there are a couple that stand out in hindsight: https://zip.gen517.com Which is a tool so people who don't know anything about programming or fancy exc

There would be a perverse irony in Trump sending American murderers and rapists to Mexico.

There is something to be said about how this went past "urgent" into "emergency response / recovery" sometime before the Snowden leaks (prompting the Snowden leaks). Odd that there is an attitude surrounding this ak

Wow, there are a lot of really positive comments here for a youtube video that might as well be called Conspiracy Fnord. Can we get a more appropriate link so the comments at least slightly match the content of the video?

We're talking about how an organization chooses who to boycott. Legal evidence typically isn't the standard here, but I think it's reasonable to ask what that standard might be.

I don't want to read too far into the comments already made, but: a YC company sexually harassing strangers on the street doesn't seem to impact people's desire to do business with YC. But if you do much less, but to people Y

The first and third ones were clearly mean-spirited, but the second one seems like it's in-bounds for society as a whole ("coward", while obviously impolite, can't possibly be worse than "racist", which is appa

I keep getting sidetracked by other issues, but you're statements are about certainty and uncertainty and where do you draw the line for heavy-handed intervention, so I might as well get into them: "undeniable" does not mean

Let's say I have a new theory, called Understanding Driven Development. The system says: It's a bug if someone needs to change code and they, at any moment, see code they don't understand. Stumbled into the wrong place? Bug f

Man, it must be me, but you ranked "Monetary policy" WAY more likely than I would (rates near zero for so long doing so little must at least put SOME doubt in your model), and "denial of quantum randomness" way less cred

Singles' Day is Nov 11 (11/11), so I'm guessing you're in Pacific time zone? The big splash was when the sale started in China, which is quite a few hours ahead of the US.

Typeclasses aren't bad, that's for sure. I kinda want something as flexible as typeclasses and derive generic but no where near that complex. A big part of me says I could do well with just promising some JavaScript really really

In truth, it's a balancing act. More than a few Haskell libraries are more tedious than Elm code (I've written upwards of 8,000 lines of production Elm but have been doing Haskell for much longer) because they're so intensely

An allegation that there is favoritism among the closed off society of YC elites? I'm astonished, astonished, I say!

Welcome them to the wonderful world of unicode! I flipped over all my icons to emoji, they're reasonably comprehensive, albeit less standardized (if you have really persnickity designers that might bother them).

Well, if version 0.2.0 doesn't fit your enterprise software needs it probably isn't very interesting.

China is a larger country with extremely promising mathematics scores. So why is it not 8/10 China and 2/10 US (in proportion to population) or even more extreme? A large country having access to a large talent poll doesn't g

I would take even odds against you on that bet. While the US would like to be seen as gearing up to take on China, most policy is driven in the direction of symbolism and a desire to have China step up so the US can step down in internation

So it would be fairer to say "Part-time Partner" is the name of a role, like "Limited Partner", that sounds like a variation of Partner but is in fact a completely different role with different duties and privileges? Thi

by hawkice 10y ago
I guess I don't understand. Part-time is a modifier on the nature of the partnership, isn't it? It's different than being a full-time partner, but wouldn't it be a subset of "partner"?

The shared-nothing model works great... if either you're just one developer or you've got a semi-competent Ops/DevOps setup. My first job out of college used PHP with one of the Rails-a-likes PHP has. During our user onboardi

I think in this case it's more that there's a ticking clock for Hong Kong. The international community pressured the return of control from Britain to China, so by 2047, if nothing _massive_ has changed, the international communit

I assumed this was the case, but maybe not: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microevolution They say it's the technical term for change in allele frequency, which is what OP was talking about.
