   Yesod is surreal. I experimented with it at one point and tried to change a form field from required to optional. Boom! The whole application wouldn't compile... The properties of the form are reflected in the type system and changing

   So how does this work exactly? I'd assume it just looks for a link in the email that says "Unsubscribe" and just makes that same link more prominent, but does anyone know for sure? I wonder how it identifies the link? CAN-SPA

   Are these realized gains? If so, how do you turn it into dollars? Do you go via BTC, or is there some direct exchange to US dollars now? It's very funny to me how dogecoin has taken off. :-) I got tipped on reddit and now I'm hook

   How are the odds calculated as 1 in 4,294,967,296? Completely random is 1 / 2^63 (1 in 9,223,372,036,854,775,808 or about ten million times worse). Granted, they're not completely random, but it seems like to get the odds they&#x2

   I've been watching this Docker excitement with interest, and went through the little demo thing on their website (which was quite cool!), but still have trouble connecting the dots on how exactly I'd use it. I run your standard He

   It's not clear to me whether this drives the price up or down. Sure, naively, it's more supply therefore lower prices. However, it does lend an air of legitimacy to Bitcoin and will likely raise awareness as it gets played out on

   Oh, hey, memories. I worked one summer with David Huynh (who you're linking to there) and David Karger (his thesis advisor) on one of the Simile projects. I vaguely remember playing around with this tool you mentioned. I thiiiiink it w

   Yeah, there's no way making a bike pollutes more than making a car. However, there's a slightly more interesting analysis to be had if you consider that car fuel is way more efficient than bike fuel (human calories). So maybe, jus

    I downvoted this comment because I don't think it brings anything to the discussion. I'm pretty sure it's obvious to every HN reader (and the post author themself) that "he" is the "correct" gender-unknown

    Excellent read! I always enjoy seeing these and am so appreciative that you put them out there. Was 2013 not the year where AR went crazy and called a bunch of people in the middle of the night? I remember reading about that and being impre

    Wow, now that's a blast from the past! Never really thought I'd see this on HN. I heartily recommend Chris Aruffo's work, as well. All the stuff in Research Phases 1-17 in "AP Research" is really quite fascinating a

    Ah, bummer. Anyone have any luck getting partial indexes to work in Rails 3.2?

    I tried adding a partial index the other day but Rails didn't seem to particularly like it. Are the examples here from Rails 4? (I'm on 3.2.16). The issue I had was that, while the partial index syntax worked and actually did crea

    I thought that was funny, too. Specifically, "416d65726963612043616e20436f646520" is the hex representation of the ASCII encoding of "America Can Code ", with a trailing space...

    Here's a little cheat sheet I put together for using the Rails gem ActiveAdmin. Some of the defaults the gem generates are a little wonky and can have very negative performance impact when the data grows too large. One thing I'm c

    Wow, I had a visceral, negative gut reaction to this comment. But upon further reflection it's actually an interesting point I'd never considered. So, hm, thanks.

    Sounds a lot like WeFunder[1], which currently only allows accredited investors to take part, I believe, but because of the recent JOBS act will allow ordinary people to invest in the coming years. [1] http://wefunder.com/

    Flying through a light that just turned green for you is a good way to hit a pedestrian or someone coming in from the left or right trying to catch the tail-end of their yellow. Please don't do this.

    Not a fan of cucumber. I started it, but the extra layer of abstraction was too much complexity for too little benefit. Instead, I think you can make almost as easy to read and understand acceptance tests with plain old rspec. I just TDD&#x

    I think you've missed the point. There are more possible permutations of four words than permutations of 10 upper/lowercase letters, digits, and common symbols. The four random word approach is harder to crack.
