Thanks -- this definitely seems like a step up.

Is it possible to find, say, a private doctor that is able to give more personal care than a GP at a typical hospital? Whenever I talk to a doctor about my symptoms it feels like they're just doing triage. I can't really blame the

> The usual list monad is only one of infinitely many ways to turn the List functor into a monad. So simple, and yet this is a point that I think is rarely made clear enough in "monad explainers." For instance, they almost alwa

My latest PL idea, inspired by Rust's "unsafe {}" blocks is "expressive {}" blocks. The "base language" would be boring, pedestrian, optimizing for zero surprises. But inside an expressive{} block, you cou

My experience: I read the entirety of the first two books, shrugged, and stopped there. Felt like I was investing a lot of effort into something that wasn't paying off, and didn't seem likely to pay off in the future. ¯\_(ツ)_&#x2F

It's fun to try to replicate this in other languages. Here's my attempt in Hoon: https://gist.github.com/lukechampine/1b68178af5e05b30fb8e9ef...

Indeed, just look at previous years (Day 1 is always pretty simple): 2015: 00:05:38 (part 1) 00:10:55 (part 2) 2016: 00:03:57 (part 1) 00:07:01 (part 2) 2017: 00:00:57 (part 1) 00:01:16 (part 2) !! 2018: 00:00:26 (part 1)

Really depends on your priorities. If you just want to HODL as securely as possible, then you don't need a hardware wallet. Just generate a BIP39 seed from a high-quality source of entropy and derive an address from it. Then lock the s

As someone who recently acquire a Clapper... I had forgotten just how finicky it could be. Can't clap too quietly, too loudly, too slowly, or too quickly. Often takes me three or four tries! Not exactly an enjoyable experience for the

Less is more. What distinguishes Bitcoin from most cryptocurrencies is that a) It has a (relatively) simple goal -- sound money -- and thus less attack surface; and b) Its community is fiercely conservative, to the point that major changes

In case there's ambiguity here, I think GP means "core to the ideals" of Bitcoin, not the core of its implementation. GP is correct. The Bitcoin community is fiercely conservative, and a proposal to switch from PoW to PoS wou

Apparently it's "Commutative Supersingular Isogeny Diffie–Hellman," and the tl;dr is that it's a form of post-quantum DH, i.e. DH that is secure against the sort of quantum attacks that current DH systems (i.e. RSA and E

The site actually crashed about 30 seconds past midnight, and was down for around 6 minutes -- much to the alarm of solvers like me, who began furiously resubmitting their solutions, hoping to get through! I've never seen the site go d

Granted, even though Go shoves its errors in your face, it's still common to just punt the error up the stack (if err != nil { return err }), leading to ahem "context-free" error messages like "Failed to initialize Foo

I know this isn't super helpful, but I built my own bors-style CI bot over a few weekends, and I'm very satisfied with it. It looks for PR comments with a specific keyword, then pulls the branch, tests it, and pushes a merge commi

It's kind of comforting that the ad industry has thrown billions of dollars into trying to mind-control people, and conversion rates are still super low. Maybe we got lucky; maybe on another planet somewhere, intelligent life is 1000

One of the unfortunate consequences of Go "making concurrency easy" is that many more concurrent programs are now being written by amateurs, with predictable results. This feels like a Hickey-an "simple vs. easy" dichoto

Pretty neat idea! Being able to highlight exactly which areas of a photo were modified is much better than an image-wide "pass/fail." Sadly the "doesn't survive compression/re-encoding" problem is kind of

Thank you for sharing. I've recommended Sarno a few times on HN and always wrestle with the guilt of offering unsolicited advice. But I figure if it helps even saves just one or two people from months/years/decades of pain, i

I think Go is one of the most misunderstood languages. Many people want Go to be something that it isn't, and often for the wrong reasons. Generics are the most contentious issue, and people have been disparaging Go since day 1 for not

I'm 90% in favor of this; the 10% comes from the few times where I've wished that a particular field was exported, and I know it would be safe to access, but now I need to open an issue or submit a patch, wait for it to be merge
