I'm a developer, but don't have the foggiest idea of how to prove something by induction. Is this the kind of book I should look at? Or is there something that should be taken as a prerequisite?

It matters when you see it being used in its original context, which immediately shows it to be false. That neo-nazi believes that we're ruled by ethnic minorities and (to his mind) moral degenerates, with his proof being that he'

How embarrassing! What would you do if you were asked to make this site?

How many years before it reaches feature parity with a traditional RDBMS though? And when will it get a query language as good as SQL? That said, I will admit the change streams feature is amazing. That completely changed the way I thought

If by native you mean citizen, then there are also non-white natives of Germany. Without data on the ethnic makeup of the population it's difficult to say how poorly they're represented

It's a question and answer site, not a question and unasked-for advice site. If someone's taken the time to write a thought-out question, then people should assume they've put research into it!

Why would the EU ask for that? They don't tax their citizens when they're not resident in the EU

Nobody's going to eat the government's lunch. There are still people around today who know COBOL, but how many years will that last?

I understand that it's a powerful feature, but the fact that its overuse is so strongly warned against, and (apparently) so rarely needed makes me wonder if in practice it is that useful. How often do rank-and-file lisp developers inde

I'm definitely a 10x programmer, but unfortunately 90% of my time is spent on hackernews, so nothing is gained.

That's probably because those languages are completely middle-of-the-road, with a load of inconsistent APIs that one has to learn along with the syntax itself, and that don't really expand one's programming ability.

You still might want to use the IDE at first, mainly because resources like Lamport's video lectures use it.

That was quite a leap from you not being able to hold a conversation with a stranger to a critique of the soviet economy. You've got the numbers the wrong way around too - the 90% are the "creator class". I wonder which clas

More power to them! I'm a software developer and I wished I had been in a union a couple of years ago. Back then I was working at a company in the middle of nowhere in England after finishing my degree. After several years the boss dec

I agree that livestock is a huge problem, but I think this kind of article is a false hope that prevents people grasping the true problem. It's like playing the lottery - something inneffective that still gives us a warm feeling noneth

Do you think people ate as much meat then as now? The mass farming of animals is an incredibly new phenomenon in comparison to how long humans have been around. And what about driving? By your argument it should be easy to give up consideri

Hackernews loves these articles that give some kind of hope for a magical solution to climate change. It's easier than the thought that it will require a huge concerted effort across the world and changing the habits of millions

I'm not sure what the difference is between the two. Aren't they both underground? Here's a video of a steam train going thru the underground to celebrate 150 years of the tube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v

Have you never seen a car mount the pavement in order to get around a blocking vehicle? Or even to park, straddling the pavement and the road?

That's not the only tradeoff. It completely negates the benefit of asynchrony and can be a source of deadlocks

Yeah I thought it was bad... I made a complaint about their security and they just made a dismissive remark about them spending millions of pounds to "ensure their clients are secure"
