I cannot speak for Lisp, but I am in the throes of writing a compiler from scratch in Haskell (while concurrently learning Haskell). I feel/felt very much as this article described—constrained. And then I learned ETA-reduces. Then I le

Spotless. I've gotten maybe one false negative (i.e., the spam hit my inbox) and no false positives.

Thanks! I think it's new. That's the first I've seen regarding it. Edit: come to find out, it's only supported on secondary logins, so the master account cannot have two-factor authentication.

I made the same switch a couple years ago (GMail -> Fastmail) and have had the exact same (pleasant) experience. Fastmail is fast and has sane defaults, a powerful filtering system, and good spam detection. As a bonus, I don't have

I expected to read an article about how awful the Magic Mouse is, since I don't like the current Apple offerings of mice—at all. I find them poorly fitting and quirky (holding a mouse with just the tips of my fingers doesn't work

I agree when read literally (pardon the pun). However, I think the point is that this is a beta product and features are limited; thus the term 'literally' is used ironically in this case.

Could someone boil this down to what he's really saying? I think I understand it as: a corporation that exists via code (written by humans, the only need for humans in running this corporation) in the cloud that provide some service to

Perhaps it's moderately inflated, but it is still the most well-known exchange among the populace; therefore, they're going to go with it. It's sort of like real currencies. Yes, on the spot market they're worth X, but w

Kudos to Kickstarter for a great year and great overview! I think this demonstrates the power of telling a story (vs just giving the numbers). This review evoked a positive emotional response where most companies' "Year in Review&

This idea is all well and good—if you can afford it. His list of things to do ("sleep well, eat hearty, exercise like crazy, work hard, and chill out") is decidedly awesome if you can afford it; however, we live in a world where t

I thanked you because you accurately and fairly assessed my actions. A large reason I post or comment on HN is to receive constructive criticism (which is why I admitted to existence of self-interest). You provided it, and that’s why I’m th

Thank you, Udo. (I would hope nobody misunderstands, but I am entirely serious.) Edit: Udo edited his post, so I replied. > lame and trollish I partially agree. On one hand, it is both. On the other hand, like I said above, someone would

No, you couldn't. However, I doubt trust/security would be a motivation at that scale. It's essentially equivalent to carrying around a bootable flash drive.

I don't disagree with your assessment. I think it's more of an opportunist running an (admittedly) self-serving social experiment of my own. And I was also curious (naturally) and well-aware someone would ask the question. I was

Earlier today I saw it had about 45 followers. I think it was a new account. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.)

I'm not complaining. I'm asking a legitimate question. A popular site has been down for a significant period of time; I think a postmortem will be insightful.

I also had a clerk use the store's address. As well as allow me to use my DL# as ID, now that I remember. I wasn't necessarily trying to equate the two, but it's definitely different from the days of "buy a prepaid phone

I know the process in Europe (Germany & Italy, at least) is similar, without the need for a local reference or visa. I was very surprised (and frustrated) to discover the need for a photocopy of my passport, but the need for connectivit

I noticed it instantly (the title). I also noticed many irregularities throughout the article. I don't know if you're a native speaker, but to me it was obviously computer translated.

Will [could] this affect the price of paying for goods with my Visa/MasterCard debit card, i.e., will this essentially make it possible for stores to charge more for using any cards? This could motivate a huge swing back to carrying

Perhaps not in the greater world. However, the only way what you're suggesting would work in my anecdotal world is if everyone was 100% open (civil disobedience). That won't happen without a significant critical mass of people

I'd be happy to discuss those personal decisions in a private setting (email me, if you wish, it's on my profile). I don't think a public discussion will yield much benefit. Also, I would argue military academies have such de
