I feel this is precisely the type of post HN needs. Faux-sanctimonious high-wire-act humor. I hope you get millions of upvotes.

My first semester in college, in a general chemistry course, a professor eventually was tired of seeing all the kids on laptops, almost all of them assuredly playing solitaire, etc. So he told the entire class to stand up and turn around, a

To be clear for the Haskell newbies, he's talking about an implementation of the protobuf library, not Haskell. You can fairly easily lift from Template Haskell types into IO in GHC (not sure about TH in other compilers).

Slightly more precisely: /bin/sh on ubuntu points to Dash, which is substantially more minimal than bash. Probably not chosen for security (I imagine speed was on their mind), but good either way.

It's better than staring into the computer as if it were a dark abyss, screaming and longing for a way to build something. It's easy to discount how useful this is for people who really have no tools or means otherwise (not that m

And what a small price to pay for a job! Why accept anyone who would fail to pay that price? I cannot think of a single reason. [Job applicant must also cry self to sleep under desk.]

I think that is one of many salient differences between the scenarios. My thought is: if one argument is good and another is bad, clearly the reason for the difference does not exist within the properties they share. It must exist where the

[Of course, but here is a little story] I recently heard of a legal principle having to do with what they termed "overbroad" interpretation. The idea is, if there is a law in the United States that could be used to violate the con

Congratulations! :) Startups are more fun without these things (I think that's the implication of the article as well).

Get a job programming. 10-year average pay gap is about 33%, which is not an insubstantial amount closer to "rich".

Yes. Small note: there will likely still be a risk premium for seed funding. Thought experiment: isn't it _less_ risky to do your own thing with funding than stay in a corporate gig? I know a lot of people not very trusting of people w

I think the problem with most peer reviews in practice is that they typically are not actionable or even concrete. I used to have monthly 1:1's where I got feedback that wasn't "keep it up" less than 10% of the time. Not

The idea you'd know we're building it, and how? Absurd! Let's follow the example of the founder in question -- STEALTH it. Come on, that's how to have SUPER ADVANCED technology.

That's what I'm imagining. I know the engineers figured out a way to get it to work walky-talky style where you can either speak or listen (but not both) two-way -- let's call that partial duplex -- but I think the new wave o

Some of my instincts are telling me the interaction you are describing has little to do with age, either. I think this has to do with price point. I am young myself, and (if I didn't know how to program) I'd probably end up hiring

So, my primary confusion was on how to implement this in Haskell 2010 (without Rank[N,2]Types, GADTs, etc.), but I'd like to say I don't think we materially disagree about any matters of fact -- it isn't as though I'm po

It's actually considered bad practice to omit types in Haskell for top level declarations. Unless needed, it's typically best to omit them _within_ declarations, though. I am not entirely sure why this is where the community lande

There is no way in Haskell 2010 to express a function who can take as an argument more than one shape of thing and then give compiler assurances that the value, not just the shape, given to it is precisely that of the result of calling it l
