Awesome! As someone interested in compilers and interpreters who has not completed a degree in computer science it was quite hard to get any of the background. This post is spot on: you'll either read a 1000 page book about it or you&#

Obviously it's the minority (<1%) of users who are abusing the drug at anywhere near that level. I'm sure that the positive effects are long gone by that point, but I think people who abuse to that extent have become dependent

Is there any proof that serotonin issues are temporary with MDMA? I've heard of people having severe long-term consequences after frequent (> once a week) use for as little as 3 months. Also, I disagree about the potential for abuse

Also ++, $, ., and some others. But yeah, you don't need to know too many to be able to read 90% of Haskell code.

Many claim that Haskell is easiest to learn as a first language.

I would say that the most interesting feature (for me) is the module system (although with structural typing as a close second) :)

This sounds a lot like video games like StarCraft and Overwatch today. Korean competitive gamers have achieved the same kind of machine-like skill. In the Overwatch World Cup this year, not only did the Korean team go undefeated, but they m

And this is how Mozilla goes out. Their last remaining reason for existence is being destroyed. They've already gotten rid of Thunderbird, Tab Groups, full themes, and more, but left us with the things nobody wanted (Pocket, Hello, etc

Interestingly, you could conclude the opposite for certain groups: http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2015/06/12/interracial-... American Indians are more likely to marry another race.

If coworkers are unhappy with it, they can (and should) make guidelines for acceptable syntax. This is no different than using camel case in Java instead of snake case (or using the $ in identifiers, which is extremely rare). If it's a

Any information about the performance implications of this library? This looks quite nice to use, but I imagine it has some performance cost versus more traditional ways of writing Fortran code, which could (sadly) mean this won't ever

C# maybe? The amount of features in it is very rapidly nearing those of C++.

Some might be legitimately lost outside of digital versions preserved illegally. I'd assume only a number of copies are owned by people who have purchased the music legally (who may not know where the music is located or know how to go

Very. Even downloading new releases on the top charts, I found that I could only get about 1-5% seeded in an entire month. Unless you're one of the first 10 people to start seeding that torrent, it's basically hopeless to get a hi

AR filters are huge on the app. Being able to use them as advertisements has already proven successful.

The way Snapchat is designed is basically anti-Mom-and-Dad -- you get to choose who each message will go to specifically (like texts), and everything disappears after it's been sent or opened. For a parent trying to monitor their kids

Agreed. As a relatively light user (relative to friends), I easily spend hours a day with the app open. It's easily the most popular app for people in the teenage demographic, and anyone who's spent any amount of time with teenage

Glad the release cycle is speeding up, but kinda underwhelmed by the lack of changes which have been floating around in "for the next release" limbo here for a while (multicore, modular implicits, etc.). Either way, lots of great

Well for one thing, in my state you have to be 18+ to purchase them, which makes it just as convenient to smoke actual cigarettes for kids.

Ironically, the most important keys to change have been seemingly ignored here.

Does it matter that they understand the difference though? Even if it's confusing as to why it's a victory, it's still a victory for the end user.

Who in the intelligence community believes that it was undeniably Russia who hacked the DNC? And why is this article advocating for Clinton when her policy is pretty much just as bad: she wants Snowden extradited and she wants backdoors in

Or maybe he was implying that she would be in jail after a fair trial because he (and his supporters) believes that she has committed perjury and illegally destroyed government documents, among other crimes. There's really no evidence

In terms of tech-related policies, he's against Net Neutrality (or was previously) [1], for NSA wiretapping [2], and for encryption backdoors [3]. Many of his views go against what (most of) the tech industry believes. Although much of
