And how do you prevent this money from being siphoned off by the payday loan industry? Lots of people will be willing to trade their monthly government check (plus some usurious interest rate like 30% compounded monthly) for a lump sum tod

What definition of nationality are you working with? Wikipedia defines it as "the legal relationship between a person and a state." I'm not confusing anything, I know the difference between nationality and ethnicity (and lang

Not only battery life but also durability, which lowers the lifetime cost of ownership. Feature phones last a long time, they're harder to break since they're usually not enclosed in edge-to-edge glass, and basically everything ab

That really depends what you mean by Chinese. It's an issue in Taiwanese identity politics and electoral politics. Taiwan is officially the Republic of China, but that name is a legacy of World War II. Taiwan has many citizens who spea

Yeah, I have been doing BJJ for 8 years and just got my black belt. Recently started kickboxing too. On the side I jog and lift weights and do a handful of other sports for fun. I think of it as "training" as opposed to "exer

by kyllo 10y ago
That's why it's better to play sports. Exercise is more enjoyable when it's competitive. Don't punish yourself with exercise, reward yourself with play.

Having worked in places where each project gets handed off from specialist to specialist, waiting in a queue at each handoff point, I much prefer the cross-functional teams. You have to have accountability for the end-to-end flow of work th

Don't they have to convert it back to a float to do math operations on it (if they're using JavaScript)?

by kyllo 10y ago
JavaScript doesn't have any int types at all. Your solution works until you need to do division...

Real decimal type - invaluable when working with currency What does JavaScript do with this though, just cast it to a float?

Something like this has been done, and web app frameworks have had libraries that do it--only with schemas instead of users--for quite some time.

By more stable you mean it doesn't oxidize right?

They are telling you what to build, you should be deciding how to build it. A business analyst who writes requirements as imperative pseudo code is doing most of your thinking for you.

That's because PureScript is what Haskell would be if it were written in the last 2-3 years starting from a clean slate. It doesn't have to deal with legacy code.

Yeah, my personal theory on this is that the short to medium term success of tech startups is mostly based on factors and advantages other than product quality and technical excellence. Having a distributed tech team is not hard, but most s

Adding unit tests is often hard to do with legacy code Especially if you have to write them in COBOL.

Perhaps my explanation didn't adequately convey the subtlety of this phenomenon. I am not saying that successful people are all social climbers. I am just saying that successful people naturally attract the support of people who want t

Because there's a bit of a feedback loop with success. If others see you as being successful or impressive (on whatever axis they care about), this attracts them to you, and having a more admirers increases your social power and influe
