Log in with Steam to post and vote on issue priority. I can't believe public bug reporting for major studio game releases is still being done through forum posts, like it's the fucking 1890s or something. Seeing this site in action, I beca

Love the idea, could be interesting to bitch about this kind of stuff in a more organized way for a few years and see what comes of it. Wish the site was up.

While I can't speak for him, my take on the kind of lame grammar sniping that sw007 was referring to in the post that kicked off that shitstorm[0], is posters on HN using irrelevant, petty criticism to dismiss and shit on others' opinions a

The mechanics of this game specifically, as well as the emergent social dynamics of online gaming, are plenty relevant to this story. I can't think of how else you could discuss it.

everything2 is most definitely not SEO garbage. I'm pretty sure it predates the concept of SEO. It has a very genuine community, and its content is pretty close to 100% voluntarily user-generated. It's kind of like a proto-wikipedia, with

I've been going through Create's profile trying to figure out if he's a crank, or just not a native speaker and overexcited. He seems like he's usually much more fluent, lucid and insightful. Still not 100% sure, but it's disappointing to

Whether or not the person behind that post is personally bigoted, their post is a valuable contribution to the conversation that was happening* because it represents, with relatively solid reasoning and in uncommon depth, a viewpoint that w

It seems like you are objecting to the post based on the alignment of its content. Not the depth of its content, not the relevance of its content to the discussion, but because it offends your sensibilities and you would rather not see it.

I see you're a new user: this type of comment is, by consensus and executive decree, not welcome on Hacker News. If you don't have something genuinely novel to contribute to the conversation, please do your part to keep the noise low.

What you're inventing here is usually called "unfold". I don't know javascript, but here it is in close relative Scheme: (define (unfold p f g seed) (if (p seed) '() (cons (f seed) (unfold p f g (g seed)))))

It's a pretty common pattern, I think it's worth its own word, at least as much as mapM: mapM f xs = sequence (map f xs) replicateM n x = sequence (replicate n x) Another cool thing replicateM is equivalent to: for lists,

I'm not sure this will reflect well on Haskell that this is the most natural way I can think to write it. But I can pretty much guarantee replicateM_[0] is the most generalizable idiom in this whole comments section. replicateM_ 100

I still think largely well of AJE, and check it almost every day mostly for its editorial emphasis on major African and Asian political events that even the BBC tends to bury. But their reporting on some topics that I know well enough to r

I generally trust their reporting on most topics outside the CIS. But I watched an RT stream the day of last year's Domodedovo Airport bombing: for every single new expert or witness they brought in, every other question out of the anchor'

The difference between one thing (the primary thing) and three things is massive. Especially if this involves dropping out of a social situation, even for a few seconds, to do it.

GHC (Haskell) compiles to a Haskell program modelling C--, a subset of C. From there, it is rendered as actual C and compiled using GCC. I believe there's more recently an option involving LLVM, though I'm not sure if this replaces the C--
