I have long thought email should go in this direction. We only need to ask just a few pennies per message to eliminate spam completely. Also, by setting a highish fee per email, it's a good way for busy people to filter out all but t

Yes, but I only posted that so you'd see which problem the GP is referring to: the second one. Unless somehow the rope is some special kind of non-flexible rope that always assumes the shape of a circle.

Actually, it's a different question. Check out the second diagram linked to below: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14863949 So yes, you could supply the answer in terms of r radius, but you do need to know the ra

OK, so to play the devil's advocate, let's take the example of btc-e. btc-e did do a lot of business with criminal enterprises, it appears, but they also had a lot of legitimate users. So how is that different from a restaurant d

I'll echo this sentiment, although I found Go much more limiting type-wise than Typescript, Java, or other mainstream typed language. But in general, moving from PHP, Python and JS (where I started out years ago) to languages like Java

If you're familiar with Scala, then type classes in Haskell are pretty close to traits in Scala (but not implicit conversions, which can make use of traits, but are an orthogonal language feature). They're also close to Rust&#x
