What was a standout result of her research in VR? What was the important question that she posed? Did she come to an answer? I read through some of the posts on elevr, and I wasn't able to find something that jumped out at me, like Bre

Why not just tax single riders, if congestion is the issue?

What about those with a mimblewimble implementation? As I understand it, those cryptocurrencies know how much was mined, and how much each address owns now, but the intermediate transactions are purged.

What happens when there are upstream changes to the objects? Does everything downstream just need to change, and hence, the upstream objects returned by programs need to be changed with care? Or is it using something like protobuf, where fi

Most programmers don't write in Nim. More programmers write in Python. I assume he's targeting the Python crowd.

YAML in devop is essentially being used as a declarative language. They do have their place in domain specific applications, and can often be quite powerful. While being able to write in any language gives you flexibility, I do wonder about

Suppose to be once per request and short-lived. But that's not specified in the thread above. Previous person mentioned logout, so I assumed we were talking about session tokens--which I understand its a misuse of JWTs--and is why he&#

A couple years back, I wrote a beginner post on learning OpenSCAD. It seemed to have helped people get up and running. https://cubehero.com/2013/11/19/know-only-10-things-to-be-da... Other than that, you can

Yeah, I wonder if they did. That would be an interesting spreadsheet to keep updated as people kept purchasing to update their model.

I have a question! In the pdf, it said that the optimization problem in SVMs have a nice property in that it was quadratic, which means that there's a nice global minimum to go towards, and not lots of local minimum like in NN. That me

I saw this a couple of years ago, when it was just a project. Now that there's a price, how did you guys decide on a price? How did you find your first customers? For a broadly applicable tool, how did you know where to start looking?

Your language example, and the burger example seems flipped. I assume you prefer artisan burgers, which means you like no language restrictions. Badly chosen restrictions are not good, we can all agree. But what do good restrictions look li

Selling a lot of burgers encompasses much more than making good burgers. By the same token, good products entails much more than making a programming language choice. Functional programming, at its heart, is about using self-imposed constra

Learned ReasonML and Solidity in 2018. ReasonML is pretty great, though I think the syntax is much noisier than it needs to be, compared to Elm and OCaml. Documentation needs to be consolidated though, and the linter picks bad defaults. Sol

I usually use "What projects have you been working on?" If there's nothing, then I ask "What have you been excited about recently?" I'm surprised by the pushback on HN. "Tell me about yourself" is a g

If you're doing this, it helps to also talk about the context and the constraint they were currently operating under. The solutions by themselves don't illuminate unless you also illustrate what they were trying to achieve and how
