Thank you for your recommendation. I haven't heard of Extempore and I currently feel like a kid at Toys R Us.

Clearly trying to "reconnect" with people you never got along with in the first place wouldn't ever work. But I wonder if you'd have the same problems if you didn't consider yourself a different breed than non tech

This guy is doing his best to make sure we can't have nice things. > We use [JS] because we have no choice (people who know more than just JavaScript know this). The object model is whack and the loose typing is whack and the DOM is

This is really cool. I know Lua is a commonly embedded language for plugins and stuff. So now that we can support Lua powered extensions for web apps, I'd like to add to the list of naive questions here, coming from someone who's

Maybe some people here are sensitive to bad words and their favorite language being called out. Another possibility about why you're being downvoted is maybe your comments aren't as funny as you think?

There's plenty of meat in the blog post, on the Github etc. I suspect it's for "humans" because it's literate, functional programming with a REPL and a natural approach to how data is managed. It's a lot more t

Most places won't let you have your phone anywhere near the table. Awesome technology, just not built I think for Vegas.

I also lost a bunch of weight on keto after several failed attempts at simply cutting calories. 235 lbs to about 185 and it all happened pretty rapidly (about half a year) considering I barely exercised. Lots of salads, chicken breasts, egg

It's kind of like saying that a birthday is just another day. Not worth celebrating because it's not a true sign of maturity but simply a measure of how many years old you are. And you would technically have a point in saying that

I tend to simply not have duplicate variable names (with the exception of `err`, which is always treated with special care anyways) so this shadowing behavior doesn't really trip me up any more.

That's the essence of search vs. display advertising. You're right that the user's mindset is totally different when searching vs browsing but I think your conclusion about display ads not being worth it for direct online sal

I actually tried doing it myself using JS and I ran into a lot of problems.. Excellent. Keep trying until you succeed. In the interest of giving practical advice instead of hand waving, I'll just say that the n-queens link you provid

I can only speak from personal experience but here's what worked for me. Build one thing that will truly impress the senior engineers at whatever companies you're applying to. In order to be impressive, it has to solve an interest

Unlike (traditional) IDEs, this is a runtime tool. It lets you dynamically interact with your program by essentially turning it into a REPL where the language is defined by your actions and reducers. I also like how the CLI makes you feel l

We want the model to be better right? I just want to express input data using as little bytes as possible. Do you mean that if we are able to somehow express in 1 byte what used to take 100, that you wouldn't expect it to noticeably im

Noob question: It intuitively seems to me that by feeding raw text of a structured format (such as the music notation in the article) we're making the algorithm unnecessarily learn the syntax in addition to interesting stuff, which is

Oh also, you might want to see if anyone is consistently showing their ads on your placements through the networks. You can reach out to them to see if they're interested in a direct buy. It could turn out great if the advertiser has t

I've seen Clicksor recommended in advertising circles as a source of cheap traffic. However that doesn't rule out good earnings for high quality publishers. No experience with them myself, but contextual ad networks have been amon

Serious question: Why do you block FB ads? I wouldn't say that FB ads are any more disguised as content as, say, newspaper ads. And follow up: If FB decided to shut down some features to ad-blocking users, do you think that would be un

I've been on the other side of this too. A few days into a design decision going "why didn't I just ...".

So much negativity in here. I personally think that A.I. website builders are the future. I haven't used Firedrop, and can't tell too much from the landing page, but anyone exploring the space is worth following I think.

Thank you for your hard work in this area! I'm just starting to learn about relational programming, but I'm interested in it from the perspective of "computer aided thinking", i.e. a deduction assistant. When I'm le
