All the chans have pretty different culture. For example, 8chan seems to have a higher rate of reddit cross-posting. Lainchan, as another example, is meant to be closer to older 4chan culture and has very few users who are "new"

This is how I feel too. It doesn't help that the links posted on HN always come from another URL and the article starts out without giving any indication of what it will be about. It feels like a bait-and-switch every time it goes from

I think the "too picky" comment wasn't related to that (considering it said "too picky or ..."). Not sure what the OP means though, so you could be right.

They shouldn't need any incentives. They should be led by morally upright people who fight for the right cause and protect their customers.

ML predates Ada by about 7 years, so that's unlikely. The way it is implemented in ML is most likely just an implementation of the mathematical concept of sum types rather than a feature influenced by existing programming languages.

There's a lot more you can do by ripping mp3s off YouTube than just using it to get music for free. Sad that they're trying to stop people from using this for legitimate purposes because they're afraid of the tiny percentage

True, but since Windows (up until 7, and then on 10 as well) doesn't come with a PDF viewer by default, the only popular platform that guarantees a PDF viewer is OS X, which only makes up a small portion of Firefox users (7 percent as

I can assure you that Arch Linux and Manjaro do not come with a PDF viewer. Considering openSUSE is distribute with other desktop environments than those you listed, it doesn't seem to come with a PDF viewer by default (although it&#x2

Well, both here really. But the amounts of data normally showed in demos is a bit over the top. Showing me that you can color states on the map of the US in 3 lines of code is not impressive when you already have the map data set up in orde

I can't help but feel that the Wolfram Language is less of a programming language and more of a DSL for querying a very precisely defined set of data. I think that the whole thing falls apart once you step outside the boundaries of the

Since you're compiling and not interpreting, you can do all the checks that a variable doesn't get mutated at compile-time. There's no need to defer these checks into the C code.

S-expresions are really just a way of representing a tree of data (in Lisp code, the S-expression literally represents the abstract syntax tree that is used for the code). Take the JSON example: { "IDs": [116, 943, 234

"" is actually true in C, but that's also because it represents something in memory. Consider how C encodes strings: an empty string is a _pointer_ to a 0 (or a '\0', if you want to think of it as a char). However,

Anyone else find the f.select(g)/f.join(g) syntax unintuitive/awkward? I'm confused as to why they wouldn't go with the (IMO) more logical select(f, g) and join(f, g) in this case (since neither Future is really the &quo
