What's amazing is how fully formed everything is right from the first book. From my goodreads review: The first Asterix book is really quite remarkable, it deserves 5 stars. So much of what I associate with Asterix is already fully for

Very glad to see this on Hacker News. I had the fortune to meet her, as my dad was the architect of the new expanded hospital that opened in 1999. Amazing woman. Sydney Morning Herald obituary here : https://www.smh.com.au/n

Likewise, when I started my CS degree at UNSW in 1989 they taught us Miranda before moving on to Modula-2. Fresh out of high-school and our first programming course, the lecturer said something like "Ok all you smartarses who have muck

I read it recently. The best advice I can give is to allow yourself to read it slowly. I spent a lot of time flipping to the back to get a clearer picture of who someone or something is. And it was worth it. There's more world-building

We've just spent a good half hour or so trying this out. It has a snappy interface but in some respects it's very heavy - ie in the number of clicks needed to do anything. The main one for us is estimating. We want to be able to g

I'm with all the people who remap Caps Lock to be the Escape key. Works fine. (Although when I have to use other people's Macs or my Win PC at home it's often hard to remember to use the Escape key instead - at least toggling

Dumb question. How do we know it's a new species and not just humans with particular genetic traits? For example, if a million years from now, someone was to dig up a bunch of bones from a dog kennel, what would they make of all the di
