Asynchronous programming with F# is pretty cool. It has layered powerful syntax and language constructs on top of .NET's threads and tasks, AND it gives you convenient access to the same async API that you use in C#.

Needlessly? I disagree... the idea that yet another person decided to utilize Javascript as the basis for a new language is distressing and totally justifies such a response.

The rational fear is of automation introducing systemic failures. Imagine a "flash crash"[1] type event applied to widely deployed self-driving vehicles. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Flash_Crash

It's always interesting to hear stories of when a hodgepodge of companies like TI, Commodore, and Radio Shack were vying to become dominant stewards of computer technology, from the OS down to the processors. It doesn't seem like

Most programmers (you included) will tend to build things not because they are the correct solution for the problems at hand, but because they are interesting and just happen to solve at least some aspect of the problem. When this happens r

Using Lisp (in the form of Racket) for many years in a production environment, I've observed: 1. People do complain about the parentheses but they generally get to work dealing with them right away. It's the loudest complaint, but

Off topic, but what is up with comments on zerohedge.com? Not this article necessarily, but so many of the articles on that site it seems the comments are just ridiculous alt-right bot armies arguing back and forth, peppered with links to o

I know. I'm skeptical that this policy will be enforced consistently. I think they'll enforce it in a few high profile cases for PR purposes, then the LE agencies will get a little more clever, and surveillance will continue.

This is a bit of puffy PR coup for twitter, right? It can crow about protecting users' privacy from government surveillance while continuing to allow (naturally well-intentioned) companies to pay for the very same access.

True, and the only way to know more about the quality of his decision-making is to wait another 20 years and see where he's at.

750cc 2 stroke engine? That's crazy. It must've sounded like the apocalypse.

It is odd that 2 stroke street bikes died out here in the US back in the 60s, but off roads have continued until pretty recently...

Yet another of the many ways a company will say "shut up and make me a shit-ton of money" without really realizing it... although sometimes they do realize it. They also like to say "don't force me to actually manage pe
