There's a case to be made that Haskell (or Idris) is not imperative, but 'imperative', at it's core, describes an interface, and Haskell supports that interface, basically (and a limited version of the associated semanti

Note: I got an apartment in Davao (which is in the Philippines) for $180/mo, utilities included (which includes air conditioning and wi fi and all other normal things), near city center. Took a small amount of insider knowledge (read:

I like the idea of specific action-oriented guides to X (even if X is, in this case, somewhat general). Non-fiction could be splitting along the axis of practical-vs-curiosity-exploring, which is great, as it makes room for more things like

This is much easier said than done. Let's imagine that, for instance, the way to have gravity comport with the uncertainty principle starts with verifying the graviton doesn't exist, and that gravity is a non-discrete field effect

The impact would be reasonably small, depending on which sub-slice of the startup ecosystem you are looking at. Paul Graham doesn't advocate jacking up headcount before you have decently functional business fundamentals. The YC model s

A first approximation would suggest doubling programming salaries would only change their strategies from "fund 100 and hope for 1 to be good" to "fund 50 and hope for 1 to be good". More selective, sure, but not game-ch

Also, there are concerns with Alaskan towns only reasonably reachable by boat, which means the coast guard can legally prohibit any marijuana from entering the island under national law. Considering Hawaii leans pretty far left in most elec

I am admittedly a bit of an accounting fanboy, and may jump to more rigorous tracking of things I control or are accountable for than is needed. For instance, upon discovering a large portion of the intelligence funding in the United States

If you look at the criminal justice system as having some amount of diagnostic sensitivity at each stage in the process (having both false positives and false negatives as all systems do), then our comparatively lower conviction rate means

As regards Mr. Statham: Motion picture timelines are pretty long, so I imagine you are correct. Of particularly high likelihood (according to imdb) are: Furious 7, Wildcard, and Spy (2015, 2015, and 2015 respectively). I'm curious to k

You'd probably still want a ledger there, if you're trading physical goods. That way you can correlate confirmed receipts on both ends of whatever cards were traded.

I'd say it's not anti-corporate so much as stereotyping Chinese manufacturers as rip-off artists.

I don't know about summers, but my parents enjoyed only turning on the heaters in winter when it got to maybe 45F indoors. Any colder and it might wake you up in the night, which is tremendously distracting, but aside from that there a

I also think the problem lies in the question. It assumes "married" and "unmarried" are mutual exclusive and span the entire space of possibilities. This does not appear to line up with reality in ways I find compelling.

This is an incredibly hard list to crack, and I don't think the author took their task seriously. I think, instead, they went with things that might be interesting to get angry about. Misphrasing or being rude during an interview is ba

For the seller it is different (because we care about LTV), but typically the $900 expenditure is "X services, Nov. 17 - Dec 17". They are loyal customers, but it isn't as though they are even breaking the spirit of the rule.

The erratic price prevents it from being a store of value or a unit of account. So it is a currency that clocks in as a medium of value transfer only. Even then, the transfer involves another currency on either end in almost all cases.

This is a little fuzzy. It's likely that most organisms of a meaningful size have _some_ number of cancerous cells, so I'm not sure that distinction is as crisp as your phrasing. As for cancer risk, there is some reason to believ

The reason age discrimination isn't included in the diversity mea culpas is because they have no plan to change. The economics of manipulating young professionals is too compelling to be changed by (mere) outrage.
