I built something similar. It's meant to duplicate the live editing functionality on the React homepage. My repo has components for live compilation of react code, the codemirror editor, and using both of them together. demo: http:&#x

Some great previous discussion on thorium based nuclear reactors: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2723675 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1009869 I think the first article was in reaction to the Fukushima disaster. It's hard to

I agree somewhat. Yes, a lead has more responsibility, and will work as hard as the other team members. Sometimes they may have to push to get the product shipped. That is a completely different thing than four hours of sleep a night for ye

I wish people would stop glorifying how many hours they work and how little sleep they get, "You need to live without sleep (4 hours a night every day for years baby!)." Sounds juvenile to me.

I'm guessing he means looking back it was a mistake. I would love to hear more details from the OP though. That phrase definitely piqued my interest as well.

"And most of all, Haskell makes programming fun!" - If you're doing a startup make sure you choose a language you enjoy. You're going to be spending a lot of time using it. (Also applies to cofounders and the application itself.)

Honest question: Is this really HN material? I can't remember seeing a photo gallery on here before.

Really, my reason for saying I wouldn't learn anything is because I personally learn better from concrete examples. That's why I like the RWH chapter. It gives you knowledge of how GHC represents your program, and helps you use that to chan

As someone who is relatively familiar with evaluation in Haskell I'm enjoying this series, but if I didn't already understand most of it I doubt I would get anything out of it. Real World Haskell has a more concrete chapter on profiling: h

I've been reading some blog posts here http://existentialtype.wordpress.com/ about the curriculum at Carnegie Mellon and I've been very impressed. I can't believe they're phasing out object-oriented programming! Here the faculty seem to t

I was really surprised when I got to college and the only languages people cared about were C++ and Java. Ok, you'll also find some C#, Python, and Ruby, but nobody has heard of any of these "advanced" languages. The only thing they care

I tend to agree with Mark Twain on this point: "I have never let my schooling interfere with my education." For me, I have learned more outside of school than I have in it. Really I'm in it for the diploma. I wish companies would look at yo

The article asserts that heavy containers placed on top are more likely to be flung into the sea. Is that really true? What if it was actually better to load heavy containers on top? Or heavy containers around the edges with lighter ones in

It's of course tempting for storytellers to make their characters one-dimensional. In this case the makers of the movie decided to portray a singularly good and humanitarian Gandhi. Usually we see purely good or purely bad characters and kn

First of all, change is inevitable. The worst response is too much worrying about it and talking about how you would like things to be how they used to be. Users come and go so it will never be exactly the way it used to be. A good response

It's not rocket, it's rocket science. I.E. a complex or difficult mental exercise or field or study, used frequently in an ironic sense to suggest that a task should be easy or simple because it is not rocket science. (definition from wikip

I've been writing some ffi myself code lately. The real world haskell chapter on ffi has been helpful. They use a bit of hsc2hs on top of plain ffi. I've also been using c2hs which does a lot of the work for you (a bit higher level) and hav

I expected Purely Functional Data Structures by Chris Okasaki to be on this list. I would recommend it but more importantly I've seen many people who know a lot more about functional programming recommend it. It is probably a bit more usefu

I'm kind of surprised it even made the list. It fills a very small niche currently, and has a more academic flavor than the more popular books on the list. I think it will increasingly come to be recognized as important, as functional progr

Looking back at old visions of the future, they always seem to imagine the obvious things, e.g. flying cars and nuclear power. What I haven't ever seen is anything close to modern computers, which arguably have just as profound an impact on

On the other hand, GAE looks like a great fit for a static site built with Jekyll, like a personal blog. In fact I'm planning to migrate my site over today. Almost any personal site will be free to host. Even though I would only be paying a

How is it a waste of time when caps lock is as close to my little finger as shift is and I can type normally for those few letters?

by joelburget 16y ago
But I use both fingers for the letters in NASA so I would normally have to hold 2 different shift keys. Are you saying you hold just one shift and type the rest of the letters with your other hand

How do you type acronyms like NASA?
