Yeah I mostly agree but I mentioned it because I spent some time trying to figure how how the leftPadding variable in the let block can be referenced outside the let block. It's been a couple of years since I've used Haskell.

To me, code with terse variables are much more readable since it's much easier to keep track of the variables when scanning the code. When I read that piece of code above, I didn't try to ascertain meaning from the variable names

Honestly...how is that more readable? It's more verbose sure but the first example is much more readable and straightforward. Here, you have to remember Haskell's list comprehension syntax and you have to scan up and down a few ti

The creator of Knet is a professor and he teaches a class using Knet, so he must have tons of material available. If you look at the Knet docs compared to the Flux docs, the Knet docs are much more educational and explains things a lot bett

The quality of Subway sandwiches are known to be terrible even compared to other chain sandwich shops in the US. It used to be better but cost cutting and greed has caused the quality of the ingredients to go down significantly over the yea

Agreed. And I feel like the whole PhD atmosphere of striving to do good research and discover new things is what makes the PhD graduate valuable. If it was like job training, that environment just wouldn't be there.

Milton Friedman introduced the Shareholder Theory in 1970, where he argued that a company has no responsibility to society and that its only responsibility is to the shareholders. As good a source as any...

It seems like nonsense because "How long would it take for you to acquire a dozen eggs? First, you have to buy chickens, wait for the eggs to hatch etc. Therefore, you should be okay with paying an amount at the rate you're gettin

Omg, renowned author Dan Brown! I actually liked DaVinci Code though it reads a lot like watching a movie than reading a novel.

America as an organization exists to leech money from poor and middle class people, from medical costs for people with crappy insurance to traffic fines concentrated in poor areas.

People are going to go for something that runs in 0.1 seconds as opposed to 1 second, most things being the same.

Yeah...I think Americans have a hard time thinking of their government spreading propaganda because America equals freedom/propaganda is only done in bad countries/etc etc. So people get some mild cognitive dissonance when they be

I don't get it. Either they didn't have enough space in the classes or his grades weren't good enough that they thought he would do well in the classes. Should the business school give preference to applicants who say they ha

It's especially hilarious because he is comparing projects done by bootcamp graduates to projects done by highly trained PhDs. Some people just don't have a clue about the massive difference involved in webdev type projects and co

Most papers are slight improvements, or barely an improvement after selectively comparing against other methods or using particular datasets that work well with that method, or after mangling the results so much with vagaries and statistics

Haha that's not going to work for typical models that have millions of parameters. Besides, it's not the code that's important (except for verifying that it's a good method) it's the actual method, it's descrip

Way too cautious, I think. Because the FBI is not going to ask HN for your IP address on behalf on an insurance company's complaint about somebody lying.

I would argue I am coding against a stable runtime. No unexpected bugs due to upgrading. No need to worry about upgrading. For many applications, I don't have to worry about security updates. I think for many cases like closed system
