calcsam: How do you think about defensibility? One might think that because the underlying tech is open source, someone else can also spring up a hosting service. Is that not an issue because agencies would want the official hosting for the

How is it toxic? All the comms I've read from Evan were pretty polite.

For fun, I put together http://isitrecession.com , in the spirit of https://isitchristmas.com It just shows the inverted yield curve, pulling down data from the US treasury everyday, and subtracting the 1 year from th

My comment is not meant to be a defense of Gladwell. Just that this title is link bait, and this study is not conclusive.

This study only interviewed 13 violinists. That's not a large number to invalidate.

Usually debuggers take extra steps to set up, and I find it only helps for code that's really hard to reason about. But the most time consuming thing is just stepping through the code, and if it happen to go too far, I have to start ov

Depends. If I'm just sketching something in code, or I don't know what I'm actually building, I'll write it out in code first. However, if I'm designing a known thing, where I understand what it's suppose to do

Typically, people that lend out their money for longer periods of time want a higher interest rate for lending out that money, than if they lend out at a shorter time frame. The yield curve inverts when the interest rate you get for lending

Yes. I just didn't display all the data. I think it goes back to the 90's or so.

Just takes a little bit to load if someone hadn't hit it in a while.

At the source, they sign their prices. If a source isn't willing to sign, you'd have to trust proxy signers to sign the price for the source. Reporters read from the signers (proxy or the original), sort the prices, and try to wri

isn't protection against de-referencing null pointers a good reason?

So you're building a program that can learn to write datalog programs. Is it because datalog programs are tedious enough they should be automateable? Why this particular research direction? > The space of hypotheses doubles in size

Are people using RDF a lot nowadays? I don't see it often, besides in the Java world. What use case did you want to use datalog for with RDF graphs?

Why would ad-hoc scripting require more flexibility with a type system? What kind of flexibility? Is it that you need more types? Or more union types to handle all the different variations that are the same, but all slightly different?

to OP: How long have you been working on it? What was the biggest challenge you ran into when working on it? How does piping work? Can you split and join the streams?

Has anyone had experience with Datalog or Datafun? What was the programming experience like? What did you build with it? Did you find that you were more productive or less? What sorts of problems was it a good fit for, and what sorts of thi

It looks like there's a beat frequency. The traffic goes up and down weekly, and probably there's less traffic on the weekends (yay! HN gets out on the weekends). But it seems like there are 6 months cycles as well. I wonder why,

I barely got the tail end of Microsoft's crappy businesses practices 20 years ago, and even I'm skeptical. Bad will takes a long time to reverse.

I thought teenagers defined themselves in terms of their music tastes.

I think so. You can lie on your back (or squat) and slide your hands behind your thighs. Hold the gun upside down in your hands, and pull the trigger with your thumb. But it seems unlikely. Even more suspicious when body cams got turned off

No, your comments have been rather measured, and I applaud you for it.

So let's say we can convince people to do this. How would it work? What's the mechanic? Would it be that just x% of profits go into maintaining nature, just as some corporations set aside x% of their profits for charity? Or someth

I didn't see mention of who would pay for this infrastructure. Is it considered a gov't funded or volunteer / donation thing? There doesn't seem to be a mention of how to alleviate a tragedy of the commons problem (unles

Half of HN believes cryptocurrencies are a scam, so it's natural they don't track it as closely.
