Unrelated protip: Steam is what causes the blades to degrade so quickly. If you leave your blades outside of the bathroom, they last for a long time. I've used the same blade for about six months so far.

For those in the telecom industry, this has been a pervasive fear since the early 2000's. My mother has a Ph.D. from MIT, has worked at Bell Labs, and is generally productive as hell. After the telecom bust, it took her years to find a job.

Hah, as I read your comment I thought "this description sounds exactly like Limewire." Did you work with Mike S?

If you think the unethical business decisions he made in the yesteryear outweigh the billions he has poured into philanthropic work in recent years, we have very different views of ethics. The man has started a movement among billionaires t

I am an ENFP too. I've heard that Isabel Myers (one of the creators of the MBTI) was ENFP, and I wonder if she optimized the test for our type without meaning to, making identification more accurate than for other personalities.

Yes, but facebook ads can target users much more accurately. I've probably clicked more facebook ads than google. I don't see the advertising model as unsustainable. What I wonder about is whether user interest is sustainable. I never check

Why can't both sides be true? I've never seen or heard of gender bias in the hiring process, but that doesn't discount the possibility that women aren't going into computer science for a reason.

If I search for jobs in California, only location-agnostic jobs shows up. But there are clearly openings in the Bay Area, etc.

But it still outputs something that is only consumable by web browsers. It seems to me like the potential productivity gains you'd get out of Fun would only be for tightly coupled systems where you're not worried about exposing an API, and

Why not jump on the url 2.0 bandwagon and get http://marri.ly ? It's not registered ;)

I'm reading The Joy of Clojure right now. I've never been able to get myself into lisp, but this book is doing a pretty damn good job. I think technical books are best combined with fiction, because it's pleasant to keep switching between t

Good point. Though defaulting to any sort of variable declaration could be problematic. You might be creating a new variable when you think you're updating one. I like AndyKelley's crash-on-default proposal best. This would also help the co

It's not the same point: you would never have to explicitly tell the interpreter where the variable is (global, local or nonlocal). If you required all variable declarations to use var , the interpreter could automatically determine the sc

I also dislike a lot of what's supposedly JavaScript's "nicer" parts. I guess I just have bad taste :) I like it because it involves one less keyword in the grammar vs the Python 3 solution. Though tptacek makes a good point (I haven't myse

Instead of adding an "intermediate" keyword, I think JavaScript's approach is preferable. That is, > var x = 0 Creates a new variable. > x = 0 Assigns a variable if it has already been declared in a parent scope, or creates a new gl

Just for curiosity's sake, it would be interesting to have an estimate on how many extra gigabytes have been sent over time with these headers.

Please no! HN should be about the content, not the people. Badges don't contribute to the community, rather they enforce ad hominem biases.

This reads like: * Do you like puppies? * Do you hate murder? * Would you like something like the tool you're using right now, but better? That's not to say Clojure is irrelevant, but your questions are more than a little one-sid

I stopped reading the feed too. People were never going to leave facebook in droves. But the controversies eventually become exhausting to the point where it's difficult to justify regular visitations, which is a hit to facebook. Social net

If your thesis were correct, (which I don't think it is) then you could just as easily argue that Ruby is verbose because Rails auto-generates code.

What about System.IO.File.ReadAllText(path); ? That said, even if the language required more than one line to read a file, that wouldn't be a good example of a language being verbose. That would be an example of a missing shortcut in the st

You do not need special db adapters for tornado/twisted. The one that comes out of the box for tornado is a thin wrapper over the mysqldb library, and I've seen mysqldb used in twisted applications.
