The HM type inference used by OCaml breaks down when you add in nominal subtyping, which is common in mainstream static languages like Java. OCaml handles this by giving up subtyping; there is none in the core language, and the (rarely-used

Well I’m glad to hear that my solution was sane, but I just don’t see what technological innovation was contributed by the RDF. The file was canonical N-triples, AKA a CSV with space instead of comma. The predicates establish relationships

I recently had to deal with some RDF data expressed as N-triples. So, naturally I loaded it into a proper triplestore and embraced the whole W3C RDF universe and started teaching myself SPARQL, right? Nah, instead I just translated that shi

CSV is totally fine, and I don't understand why people have such an issue with the format. It is very simple, here is the entire specification: the file should be encoded in UTF-8, and fields are separated by the , character. Fields ma

LEAVE the tech industry? Are you crazy? Who else is going to pay me this much money for this little work? And in this economy, I'm happy to have a stable job I can do from home...

Very cool, thanks for sharing! I knew I couldn't have been the only person to think of this. :)

I have long wondered whether it would be possible to identify the most basic, core words of English, and construct a dictionary such that all definitions eventually reduce to those words. That way, a speaker of a foreign language could lear

SQL needs to have NULL, because otherwise how does an outer join work? And once NULL is there, you need rules for how it interacts with other values. What is the alternative?

Sure, my data fits in RAM if you take one of those example machines, which we have, and which are currently hosting dozens of production VMs, and instead dedicate the whole thing to my database. I'd love that, but it's never going

It is simply not a factor. We don't discriminate, but we will hire anyone who is willing and able to do the job for the salary offered. We don't track any diversity metrics, and the gender or ethnicity of a candidate does not ente

You can probably also rent these tapes from your local library!

Perhaps it is the same country precisely because of that disparity? Maybe the rich's lavish lifestyles are only possible due to masses of hidden poor people, who suffer primarily because such rich people exist?

Web advertising always seemed like a losing proposition to me from a technical standpoint. Imagine if, instead of an MPEG stream, the Super Bowl was delivered to your television with instructions like "draw the field, draw the players,

Why would I care whether the future is full of people like me or not? Is there something inherently better about people like me, such that we should be reproducing instead of the people who currently are?

The second-generation Pencil only charges by attaching magnetically to the flat side of an iPad Pro. It has no ports or any way to plug it in to charge otherwise. Only the iPad Pro has the physical design to accommodate it.

Have you read Bad Blood? It's quite reasonably arguable that she had such a state of mind, based on the evidence.

While this sounds profound, I'm unable to figure out what it actually means. Can you explain more?

All that commercial did was let me know how important it is to them that I pronounce their silly name the way they want. So I never will! It's raKOOten and it'll be raKOOten forever. Every time I pass by 101 and 92, "oh look

You've done a great job of explaining the type of DB interactions that most frequently cause performance issues at my workplace. I don't understand why developers are so unwilling to just learn SQL.

It's certainly the business of investors, who vote to approve executive compensation (so-called "Say-on-Pay" votes) each year. While the vote is non-binding, it helps provide a signal to companies when investors are displease

Sure, most companies won't tell it like it is because their management is so wrapped up in their own fiction that the cognitive dissonance would be too great. But if a newer company is legitimately thinking about "crafting an empl

It's quite a bit more tenable when you admit to yourself that anyone who is nominally putting in 60-hour weeks as a knowledge worker is only actually working for 35 of those hours anyway. Studies show reduced productivity after that

Agreed on most points, but not the keywords. SQL has hundreds of keywords.

I don't think you're ignorant, you've described the situation well. It sounds like you are the one doing the educating here.

In theory, the price of a stock reflects the market's expectation of future dividends. In practice, the market expects lots of things that aren't true.

And yet people keep buying FB stock, and IPOs with this same dual-class scheme (and no intent to ever pay dividends) still get hyped up. It's because the people buying them aren't long-term value investors, they're gamblers.
