Maybe the professor should have asked whether drugs are bad. (and yet this is still a poor analogy)

I didn't spot Clojure here yet: (->> [1,2,3,4,5] (filter #(-> % (mod 3) (= 1))) (map #(* % %)) (reduce +)) #( ... ) is an anonymous function, arrows are threading macros: https://cloju

In my bubble Clojure has taken off quite nicely, many companies are solving hard problems with it and you get to enjoy all the libraries of the Java eco-system :) But it is indeed a very different approach to programming than let's say

Approximate facts from Finland: Bachelors program is 3 years and Masters (which basically everybody does) is extra 2. There was a major shift from direct subsidies to government-backed loans on 2017 but first I'll refer to the benefits

Is this because FF doesn't follow some standards?

Well in Finland you get a discount if you have committed crimes before. There are cases when a person had raped someone and during a leave from the jail he had raped an other victim. The jail term for the second offence is less than usual d

I have found great joy with Clojure (runs on JVM) which doesn't constrain you from side-effects, it just encourages you to do them on an appropriate functions. And all values are immutable by default. Debugging pure functions is quite

Even if it has been tried before implementing it yourself will be a great learning experience :) And if you think it will perform better on some work-loads than most currently existing solutions then you should try executing those benchmark

As a person with at least basic knowledge of physics and computer simulations I find it odd that even basic atoms are so difficult to simulate. Maybe this just shows my ignorace on the topic :)

Usually the decision of selling someting cannot be revoked by the selling party, at least not when we are talking of (physical) property. Licenses are trickier ;)

Which programming languages and IDEs have you used? Are they efficient at solving your problems or do you need pay tons on attention to every tiny detail? I'm hinting towards functional programming ;)

You'll need to rely on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locality-sensitive_hashing and fuzzy matching. I've heard Shazam works really well in most cases, although I'm not sure whether they submit the raw re

Sadly law makers aren't technical people, I don't think they have a clue on how to implement such system. Basically only big players can afford the R&D effort. I think EU should build this as a free online service to which you

A great product and still evolving! :) It is crazy how powerful it becomes with Kibana, but you still have the option for DIY graphics and integrations!

Maybe they should have GDPR-like fines (I am not saying that GDPR it self is good!): "In some cases, violators of the GDPR may be fined up to €20 million or up to 4% of the annual worldwide turnover of the preceding financial year in c

I would like to actually to have a separate "cookie jar" for each new tab I open via Ctrl+T, but have it shared if I open a link into a new tab. Even Incognito tabs share cookies and sessions :( Any suggestions?

I would strongly recommend Clojure, which is dynamically but strongly typed LISP on JVM. The best part is the REPL, which is only true if you use a well-tuned IDE. Personally I still use NightCode but there are many others out there. For me

Well, PoW setup is looking for a hash which mathches a given pattern, but in the traditional cryptography you are looking for exact matches. Or at least matches from reduced rounds, or very near misses which can be studied further to build

Are you asking for tips on how to change your way of thinking? I am not familiar with Elm but remember that in mathematics there are no "assign" or "return" statements ;) You just evaluate an expression.

Have a vision on what kinds of skills you'd want to acquire, work only 9-to-5 and then you'll (more likely) have time energy for hobbies and self-development. Look for job ads which you aren't qualified to apply yet and check

Ahaa, I didn't take AWStats into account. I was thinking more in terms of "one bloom filter per unique thing you want the distinct count out of", for example 1 per day & IP & User agent. I guess your approach would wo

Yeah well it is great for inputting numbers and especially formulas, typing 1+2*3/4 isn't too handy on "QWERTY numers". Well once you need brackets things get tricky again. I also dislike laptop keyboards without dedicat

You could hash the ips before storing them, but as there aren't that many IPv4 addresses wit would be trivial to revert. However if you use bloom filters to calculate "distinct counts" then I think you cannot reliably re-cons
