Elixir and Erlang still lack the ability to typecheck any process behaviors because messages can take any type anywhere.

I don't think the first link really provides any real insight into the problem. First of all, the study isn't experimental. There could easily be many confounding variables here, such as depression causing more body satisfaction i

Running terribly on Firefox for Android here as well, but really smooth in whatever browser my HN app uses (I assume Chrome). That said, the Chrome(?) version kept dropping blocks early and Firefox was more accurate...

But that's not what the blog post is about. Every other explanation of floating point numbers describes how bits are allocated. The visual part of this article is a drawing of the window and offset thing. Which in this case, is exactly

Keep in mind that Hong Kong was a British colony for 150+ years (contiguous minus the Japanese occupation during WWII). The fact that Hong Kong represents liberal Western values should surprise nobody. While the PRC represents much of Chine

Yes, but what is being said is that Rousseau and Hobbes and Locke are ingrained in Western culture in much the same way that Confucianism is ingrained in Chinese culture. Lapses in the absolute power of Western monarchy opened up a space fo

As another 17 year old I'm gonna go against the grain here and try to give my own advice. Yes, you should live your life while you can and have fun. But I think a lot of people are forgetting that you can have fun while writing code. I

It's also important to distinguish modern Haskell from what's specified in the Haskell standards. Modern Haskell is basically 100% dependent on GHC's language extensions [1], and as soon as you factor these in the language is

Long term thinking isn't possible in the US because we have a democratic government. The only 'solution' that would make it possible is to centralize under one party and create an oppressive government that doesn't give

I wouldn't call anyone egregiously stupid for engaging in normal sexual activity. If the vast majority of teens doing so have gone unprosecuted, why should someone assume that something might happen to them for the same action? A risk&

While there's a small discrepancy, the "77 cents on the dollar" thing has been spread so much that I think it's important to put into context the real differences. I agree with your statement, but it's also true to

That's true of the overall workforce and I don't see it as evidence of lag. I think the effect is caused by a disproportionate number of women who go to college but either don't ever enter the workforce or stop work after a f

I disagree but even leaving that comment aside, the OP is saying you aren't allowed to talk about it openly. "Allowed" does not imply a government here, but society/employers/etc. If your employer fires you for sayi

Google Docs is still making Office non-essential for the average user. 90% of students have been purchasing Office for years in order to essentially perform the basic formatting provided by any rich-text editor purely for the purpose of com

Those are individual prices, but yeah honestly they are pretty high. For a business, it's $30/month/app/license. For a company with one graphic designer using Photoshop+Illustrator, that's $60/month (or $70 to

I think server operation costs are a very legitimate concern, though. People always say "well, you're not Google so it's not that important," but that's precisely the issue. No small company has the budget to splurg

Honestly, with Google Drive around I can't see how MS Office will remain profitable for long. Sure, it can handle some corner cases Google's product can't handle and it's the standard, but I can't see that staying t

If the Adobe product prices aren't ridiculously overvalued, there's something wrong with the way they develop their software.

There's a lot I could address with your comment, but since I'm short on time here, where are you getting servers that they all cost the same amount regardless of specs?

Well, the content in Snapchat is more or less what you make of it, and the news stuff in general is a fairly recent addition. So while it's probably a little bit of both, I think Snapchat was mainly used by its current demographic much

How is silencing someone's speech a form of defending yourself? And frankly, as someone who had multiple family members killed during the holocaust, trying to shame someone into agreement with you based on "encountering real Nazis

See Meerko's comment on this [1]. The EU has a class of its own freedom of speech violations that America does not. The fact that the US has made mistakes and the EU has made mistakes isn't the deciding factor. The scope of the EU

It's not that it's better or worse. Saying that you should kill all Jews is, morally, a horrible statement to make. However, saying it is different from acting on it. While it's a statement that most would (and should) find p
