   I don't think Go lets you take stack addresses. If you try to do that, it will copy the data structure onto the heap.

   A guaranteed minimum income is not the same thing as a stipend. If the guaranteed minimum income is 25k, and your personal income is over 25k, the government doesn't owe you anything. You would owe the government something.

   Policy adjustments for maintaining capitalism in the post-employment era: provide a minimum guaranteed income to all citizens and abolish minimum wage. This was Milton Friedman's idea. This would create a massive market for a standard "life

   Ways you can get to a doc without the list: - Bookmarks - Recently Visited - E-mail (which are automatically generated on sharing) - It could already be open in a browser tab, either on your computer, or someone else's (and a friendly copy+

   I am an engineer for Google Docs. When they say that Docs List is down, they just mean Docs List. It is stated so on the dashboard site. "Affected users will see a 404 when accessing the Google Docs home page. You can access individual docu

   Why did you need string-switching? You could have created a Map<String, Integer> lookup table.

    I'm literally trying to figure out if the item listed here are asserts the Federal Reserve acquired (through quantitative easing), or asserts the Federal Government acquired (as part of the federal budget). The latter is debt that is repaid

    Is the "U.S. Treasury" here the Federal Government, or the Federal Reserve?

    I think providing a language construct to help you do something badly and covering up your mistakes by rebooting is a step in the wrong direction. That's a huge part of the Erlang philosophy.

    My guess is if you design your database to reside in RAM, you can use pointers in the data structures. You also can drop all layout optimizations that are meant for linear access (optimize for random access instead).

    Replicas are master-slave or something Paxos-esque? So, continuous snapshotting means writing to disk asynchronously?

    I agree with you, we need to frame this in an accessible way. The OP is one of the most eminent academics in the world on static typing. I've taken a class with him, and I learned a lot from him. His post can be rewritten in non-academic li

    Yes he does see the benefits to dynamic languages, but wonders why you would use one considering that those benefits are present in "good" static languages. Good static languages have pattern matching and sum types, which gives you the abil

    Well, this is the interesting part of the story I'd like to hear. Harj, I wish you the best in selecting people for the program. But, I don't know what the moral of the story is for the rest of us. Be determined? Never give up? That's not q

    I certainly can't disagree with your viewpoint. A person with extraordinary characteristics is likely to have extraordinary accomplishments. That's a pretty safe argument. But, your classification of people into 2 simple categories is exact

    I am going to risk being downvoted to hell on this. Maybe Daniel isn't "persevering against crazy odds" and "willing himself to success". It's apparent from the story that he's a really fucking good coder. With a reasonably accurate estimat

    I was thinking about how proxying would work. You could get very cool proxying, similar to the way AptProxy works, where you instead of accessing http://camlistore.org:3179/camli/hash-1 , a client would access http://localproxy?url=http:/
