Yeah that would certainly explain the large number of individuals selling crack in broad daylight around the bus stops on 3rd Ave. I just wish they had chosen to corral the crack dealing somewhere away from the street with all the bus sto

Clojure + core.typed sounds like an ideal balance to me. I haven't actually used it yet but I might for my next side project. http://typedclojure.org/

The simplest way is the "youhuitong" or "preferential exchange" service the Chinese banks offer, which is a fancy name for "bribe us and we'll circumvent the transfer limits for you."

It is possible to bribe the banks to let you bypass the limits. There is a huge scandal in China right now over this. http://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonchang/2014/07/13/attack-on...

Well, it's really all of the above, they go for the most prestigious English-speaking universities they can get into. The ones who can get into American Ivy Leagues (and Stanford) do, but the ones who can't, have other fallback op

You may be right on both points, but the two are not necessarily related. Wealthy Chinese people (who the article is about) generally do not live in Chinatown because Chinatown is a ghetto. The wealthy ones tend to live in the suburbs. The

They want their kids to be educated in English and attend universities in English speaking countries, which increases their career prospects not only in those countries, but also within China. Also, a number of these wealthy Chinese seeking

Yes, in Java and C# for example, compile-time type and runtime type of a variable can be different when you instantiate an object of a type that inherits from an abstract base class.

The problem is, if they're doing it right, they won't even know you failed background because of your credit score. Companies outsource background checking to protect themselves from exactly this. They don't even want the pot

Python is strongly typed. Dynamic typing and weak typing are not the same thing. Python: >>>1 + "1" Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeErro

Why would you need those when you have indented blocks as a language feature? Unless you really like one-liners, in which case you should just use Perl or Ruby.

That is a great way to blow tens to hundreds of thousands on interest over a lifetime.

Would something that transparent actually stop you from having grounds to sue, though? If you documented that they rescinded an offer, then you threatened to sue before they hired and immediately fired you, I don't think them doing tha

Well, if you think about the path that this leads down, you're going to be building SQL statements with string concatenation in client-side Javascript, with no server-side business logic in between. That just seems extraordinarily dang

That statement "Java was calling Haskell as C via its FFI" kind of confused me, but I admit I'm not all that familiar with how FFIs work. But, wouldn't it be more accurate to say that "Java was calling native binari

That silo-building is sort of the logical extreme. The happy medium is more like "because our services are loosely coupled, we're free to make code changes to our service and not worry about inadvertently breaking any other team&#

Haskell's libraries and packages are actually very well fleshed out at this point. That's not the reason for poor adoption. It really is just that it's academic and mathy and difficult to understand.

No, I think the other major client-side MVC frameworks (Backbone, Ember, React) are also geared toward this reactive paradigm.

Java doesn't really give you a choice though, because so many of the standard library classes have exceptions baked in. Any code you write related to file I/O for example will have to have either a "throws" or a "tr

The problem is that modern life is not geared toward moderation. The way our economy is structured, most people have to spend their entire day working in order to make ends meet. And for a lot of people "work" means being tied to

This is also relevant, someone implemented early-binding virtual method tables in Python and benchmarked the performance speedup: http://legacy.python.org/workshops/1998-11/proceedings/paper...

by kyllo 12y ago
So you're saying that late binding is the most significant reason why Python is slow? Is slowness just an inherent tradeoff in using a language that supports this powerful feature?

Sure, but the vast, vast majority of their freight is Asia -> US. I work in the shipping/logistics industry and I assure you, Somalian piracy is not a threat to Wal-Mart's supply chain. It's barely a blip on their radar. I

Kind of ironic that a doctor would say that to you. Just try getting a doctor's direct line or cell. It's almost impossible, they have receptionists because they'd be overwhelmed with patients calling them with stupid questio

The piracy only affects Asia-Europe lanes. Wal-Mart's imports are mainly Transpacific and South American imports. And the pirates also almost never hit container ships because their decks are too high and they go too fast. Maersk Alaba
