why are you tipping 15% for mediocre service? that just ups expectations and sets the bar low for quality service. of course tipping is a choice but there are social pressures. i prefer to hover around 10% for normal service but you can be

well, i don't know what to tell you. i am not really here to defend or market for the world's most valuable company. all i know is that my understanding is that .net core is the future of their .net stack and they are doing things

i agree. f# is really nice and is very practically designed. it has very clean and consistent syntax. i wish more python people tried it. due to oop being perfectly fine in f#, one could write code in f# just as they do in python, and it wo

is it microsoft or windows you are against? basically all of the f# toolchain is open source, and it runs perfectly fine on all three major os platforms using either .net framework (windows), .net core (cross-platform), or mono (cross-platf

you missed my point of the poster not necessarily being the creator of the repository.

by nikofeyn 8y ago
isn't this a little demanding and entitled? for example, the submitter of this post to hacker news may not be the creator of the language and repository. so the creator is off just having some fun creating a language, with more than mi

i understand who the author of that article is, but i feel that's an overly hardline approach. f# and racket are perfectly fine and productive mostly functional languages.

whoops, i did mean that. sorry, and thanks for catching it.

> it's a framework with explicit goals of being cross-platform where did they notate their goals for wpf and winforms to be cross-platform? they specifically mentioned they open-sourced them to open up windows development.

episode 7, our blue planet , in the planet earth ii series is some of the hardest television i have watched. i actually couldn't finish the episode. maybe this is hyperbole to others that have watched it, but it's unbelievable

this is something a certain species in Australia does, as covered in the bbc's the hunt . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebeNeQFUMa0 it's fascinating. they also filmed this in blue planet ii. https://

red dead redemption was slow as well, but much better paced. at the time, it seems the tech and general style of red dead redemption made a strong departure from gta iv. the gunplay was very fun in my opinion in red dead redemption. the eup

at least in this case, they aren't wrong. on hacker news, there is a strong bias towards how silicon valley likes to operate and against china.

this is why regulation exists. it isn't enough to just say "well, we warned you". and tesla has become more stringent in their marketing and careful with warnings of auto-pilot in the wake of all these accidents. they clearly

that style of feature rollout works in a mobile app, but does it work in a car?

by nikofeyn 8y ago
that's all well and good, but i am not talking about airplanes' auto-pilot. there are also still differences in terms of everyday joes buying teslas using its auto-pilot versus trained pilots using auto-pilot. there are difference

of course the drunk driving is the driver's fault. i didn't say otherwise. i made two points. one, auto-pilot is a misleadingly named and marketed feature. two, auto-pilot was not necessarily a benefit in this situation as the art

by nikofeyn 8y ago
that is a possibility, but there are key differences that come to mind. one is the different environments. two, the commercial airline pilots are working when using auto-pilot. they are flying the airplane via automation and are still very

i still can't believe tesla has gotten away with putting a feature called auto-pilot into a car which does no such thing. how does auto-pilot mean driver must be alert at all times with hands physically at the wheel? how is the marketi

do you have any further information regarding their visual programming languages? are they known environments or are they in-house developments? are there any publications or documentation publicly available? thanks.

i just want to remind you that the original discussion that i initiated was to point out that apple has not given any legitimate reason for removing the audio jack. there is simply no need to remove it. creating a thin or water resistant ph

not sure how people disagree with me simply stating my use of my phone’s audio. also, i meant “masqueraded” in that last line. not sure what happened.

exactly, like what other phones provide. for example, the lg v series phones.

by nikofeyn 8y ago
i guess my point is that i don’t see how that follows. if bluetooth headphones are so great compared to wired headphones, then wasn’t that incentive and market already there? in fact, it just shows the truth, in that apple just wants to be

not true. the iphone xs has a water resistance rating of ip68. the lg v35, which has an audio jack and high-end audio dac, has a rating of ip68.

by nikofeyn 8y ago
that’s what apple wants people to believe so they believe it. however, it’s not true. for example, the lg v35 has an audio jack (and a high-end audio dac at that) and yet has the same water resistant rating, ip68, as the iphone xs.
