I've been hearing so much about Haskell and category theory, and how they can change the way you think about programming. Thanks so much for this.

Thanks for pulling this out and explaining it; although I'm not familiar with ML, I get what the problem is here. Interesting!

This may sound blunt, but it's pretty common to be profiled as a symbol of gentrification if you bear a certain appearance. And, although this can often be uncomfortable, as far as race relations go in the US this is probably one of th

How did nobody notice this? This game is gold, pure satirical gold. There are even amazing homages to the Sierra Online games and nethack!

Zahn's ability to scope a plot that goes from everything-is-doomed to amazing-twist-saves-the-day in each of his _Heir to the Empire_ series is fantastic. Plus, his pacing and character development feel significantly richer than other

Hi, total noob to rendering architectures here. What do you mean by "it's basically React"? I'd love to hear more.

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll be sure to check it out.

I like to think of myself as someone who takes pride in their craftsmanship (whatever the craft may be); I'd imagine many developers feel similarly. As such, this advice stings. But it really has the ring of one of life's "ha

It's nice that this is getting some press, but my sense is that it's no longer news that pedestrianism has been on the rise in dense urban areas for a tick[0]. Thanks to edward for posting this, though! [0] https://en.w

I'm not sure what you're getting at -- I can see both this link and the OP from Mexico.

I am an unabashed infographic fanatic, but one thing that really throws me off here is the changing scale between graphs. I think it'd be a lot easier to flip through these tabs if a) the pay scale was the same for each graphic, and b)

Well stated. There are plenty of excesses to point to that have nothing to do with the small number of attendees making over $1M/yr. Burning Man is a giant art party in the desert. It's becoming increasingly expensive in part beca

I installed fireplace.vim when I set up Clojure for the first time (maybe 4, 5 years ago), but didn't really understand much else of Clojure at that point. I'll try it out again, thanks for the tip!

I love reading articles like this about Clojure -- each one demystifies some part of the transition from another, more imperative language. (Here, for me, it was how to do unittesting in Clojure coming from Python.) Something the author tou

John Foreman's book _Data Smart_ follows the Excel-first methodology, and I've been appreciating how well this separates the data analysis from the toolset choice.

I love reading this well-written anecdote every time it's posted on HN. :-)

Another thing I've wondered about with suffix-hopping is the guarantee of stability there is -- in example, using the Libyan domain .ly in light of the recent radical changes. (An associated meta-question being, of course, if this is r

This is great. Always appreciate different approaches to NN and ML. I'm amazed that a Stanford PhD candidate has the time to put this together (I won't tell your advisor :-), but still, thank you!

Beautiful photos, fascinating interview snippets. I love compelling narratives that remind us that life isn't over at 30.

Strongly agree. A blueprint is a Platonic puzzle -- Here, take this representation of an ideal and figure out some way of making it a physical reality.

Bang on true. As I noted elsewhere, that semester of night courses at the local JC has improved my machining abilities drastically , as well as illuminated me as to actually planning the order of operations (y'know, "step 1: band

Good point. Maybe some self-selection bias here (Hey, I'm comfortable with computers and programming, so I'll jump straight to the computer-y part of machining).

Great rundown, thanks for that. CNC machines are also popular at hacker spaces; check one out in a metro area near you (Noisebridge in SF, Ace Monster Toys in Oakland, Madagascar Institute in Brooklyn to name a few). I like your description

I love articles like this. They display long-term focus and a patient, multi-disciplined investigation into how to complete a project (in this case, some light mechanical engineering, materials science, and machine technology). I've be

Mr Lapham's writings in the Harper's Notebook column justified the cost of the subscription for me. The breadth of scope he would bring always amazed me.

This is awesome. I just completed a simple first foray into attaching circuits and LEDs to one of my welding projects, and seeing a walkthrough of the steps that I also had to figure out (culminating in an impressive large-scale installatio
